Keeping Soldier in
Irons Is Abolished

London-Lieut. Col. Walter GUM
ness announced In the house of COM
mons recently that the army council
has decided to abolish field punish
Iment No. /.
Corporal punishment in the army
was abolished in peace time in 1868
for the reason that some commanding
officers were discovered to be intro
ducIng many Illegal punlshments to
avoid having to resort to the lash.
Then. In 1881, logging was finally
done away with, and two forms of field
punishment, known as No. / and No.
2, were introduced, 1t having been
found necessary to employ some form
of punishment In the field which
should cause the offender no injury
and which should not prevent the
performance of his active military
duties.
Under field punishment No. l the
offender could be kept In irons--fet-
tiers, or handouts, or both-and at
tached for certain clearly laiddown
periods of time to fixed object. He
could be subjected to any labor, en-
ployment, or restraint as though he
had been sentenced to Imprisonment.
Field punishment No. was precisely
similar, except that the offender could
not be attached to a fixed object

FIRES COST 500

Eiohty Per Cent of Fires Prevent
able, Says President Of Fire
Protection Association.

Chicago.-There is q bonfire In the
United States, a blazing pyre fed by
frame cottages and brick factories, by
forests and farm crops, by ships and
automobiles. Every minute, year In
and year out, $1,000 is thrown into
this fire. Every half hour, day after
day. a man, woman or child is cast
into the flames.
There is no such bonfire In reality,
but the picture Of the blaze fed by
money and by human beings repre-
sents the actual toll Of fire In Amer
ica each year as it was expressed at
the 9th annual meeting Of the Ma.
tional Fire Protective association In
convention at the Drake hotel.
$4,000 Lives Yearly Toll.
"The tragedy of the whole thing is
that 80 per cent of these fires are pre-
yentable," said Ii. o. Lacount Of Bos-
ton, president of the association.
"Carelessness is the thief that is steal
ing S1.7O out of every $1,000 of the
nations wealth through the annual
fire loss of $500,0O0,000. Carelessness
Is the assassin who annually causes
the death of $4,000 persons through
fire accidents In this country"
The smoker who heedlessly drops
his pipe or cigarette ash into q waste
basket and the person who thought
lessly tosses a glowing match into 8
pile Of waste are the ones who start
most of the fires, Next In order of
responsibility come defective CHM
neys and flues-proper cleaning or
trowel full Of plaster would prevent
nearly all of these fires.
Dustless mops and electric fiatirons,
the latter left going while the house
wife answers the front door, represent
the two classes of fire causes which
run close race for third place
electrical installations and spontaneous
combustion.
AssaiIs School Conditions.
Lack of proper exits. proper fire
drill and sufficient fire fighting ap-
paratus endanger 80 per cent of our
school children" declared X. S. Moul-
ton, member OF the Safety TO Lire
committee which made Its report re-
Gently.
The association seeks improvement
of fire laws, establishment of more
rigid building codes. Among other
things, It protests against use Of the
infammable motion picture film and
urges adoption of the slow burning
film now on the market.
