President Coolidge Urges
Need OF Fire Prevention


Need OF Fire Prevention
with the approach of October g. anniversary of the
great Chicago fire. it is customary for the chief executive
to direct attention to the fire loss of the nation
and to propose the observance of that date as national
fire prevention day.
II informed that the national fire loss for 1922 ap
proximated $4,000 lives and somewhat more than $780,
OOOOOO. If this is correct approximately cor
rect it indicates that the 1922 waste the largest
since 1906 when the fearful San Francisco conagation
brought the total to above $500 100000.
THE fact that with all improvement of method in
most directions, the fire loss continues to mount up
ward year by year. places striking point of intelroga
ton opposite orr claims of high national efficiency
81 informed that in 1912 which was not an excep-
tona year. the per capita fire loss of the country was
S2.16, and that in 1922 it was S4.67.
"The Importance of every possible measure to reduce
the loss is apparent to require argument. The
specialists in this subject that probably the greater
part of the loss is due human factors such as care
lessness and moral hazards another large portion poor
contraction. inefficient enforcement of building regula-
tions and the like All of these subject correc-
ton through proper procedures and it is highly desir
able that public attention be directed to them and every
encouragement given to for essenng the fire
menace.
'In view of these facts,
'Now therefore, l. Calvin Coolidge president Of the
United States designate Tuesday, October g. national
Fire Prevention Day and recommend that it be observed
in manner most fitting. | particularly recommend the
Importance of the educational efforts through Schools

STUDY OF Ceramics
TO OPEN NEW FIELD
Appropriation of $4,000 Gives
Georgia Tech New Depart
ment For Study

ATLANTA, Nov. DIR. NJ. L.
Britain, president of the Georgia
School of Technology, has called
a meeting Of the Ceramics commit
tee for Monday when plans will be
formulated for the opening of that
department at Tech,
With the view of Informing the
public as to the exact situation OF
the new department of Ceramics
a tGeorgia Tech, DR.. Britain has
issued the following statement:
The general assembly, mainly
through the leadership of Senator
Carswell, has given us an appro-
priation Of ten thousand dollars an
nually from next January, This is
for maintenance only, and, of
course, we must have suitable build
ing and equipment. The latter
will cost approximately $4,000, and
we want to build an adequate
structure to house the kilns and
laboratory. Towards this, Fulton
county has given $4,000 and we
have in addition, subscriptions
amounting to $13,600.
This represents about half OF
what we must have and we are sure
that business men Will see that we
get what we need to develop
these resources which are so abund-
ant and so undeveloped in Georgia.
THE Central of Georgia railroad
has become aroused to the poten-
tial value of the ceramic industry
of this state, and for the past year
has had Professor r. T.. Stull max
ing examinations and reports in its
territory Professor Stull is a leader
of established reputation, and has
been connected with this work at
the University of Illinois and the
United States Bureau of Mines,
and is thoroughly convinced that
development of the non-metallic
minerals of this state will sgo far
in replacing the ravages caused by
the boil weevil. | have had sew

The first frs'gmentary advices
from Munich were to the effect
that the rebellion was only against
the Won Knilling government, but
as other reports were received the
impression grew that the revolt
was also aimed at the Central GOV
ernment and that leaders of the

I'VE can have full confidence in
Georgia and full appreciation Of
her resources, her institutions and
her people" he said, land still ad-
nit some things might be better.
I'VE would like to see an adj
justment Of politics of the better
factional sort Politics that stirs
passions and prejudices, divides
business men and our most capable
industrial leaders, puts a premium
on the agitators and the small man,
and seeks the favor of the ignorant,
the narrow~minded and the selfish,
We need the type Of men in office
who are only won to public service
when the office seeks the man.
I'VE need tax system that will
provide revenue to care for our
public institutions, advance educa-
ton, build roads and put our state
government in the forefront of pro.
gress and financial independence.
"We would be helped by inocu-
lasing the spirit aad habit Of
thrift among Georgians. More saw
ings AN l less spending. Supply
ing the capital we need at home as
well as the food and feed for
stock that we consume, making IS
independent of the north, and be-
coming leaders instead of borrow
ers. This can be accomplished
through a charge in our habits
more easily than through a change
of conditions.
Higher Ideals would help. More
appre iation of art, beauty, purity
and system. This might find ey-
preston in paint on school houses
