OUR NATIONAL FIRE Loss-opportuni,

OUR NATIONAL FIRE LOSS-Opportunity
for the practice of genuine thrift absolutely apart
from parsmony, is pointed to by fire loss statis-
tics
1t is national maxim Of China that that which
is burned up is lost forever.
1t is shown that in one year there was fire
loss of $500OO0O00 of property in the United
States By far the great majority of fires are pre-
ventabe.
Half billion of perfectly good dollars is a
handsome enough sum to command anybodys at
tenton, and it is a deplorable thing to think OF
its being wasted in fire loss That sort of loss is
absolute.
Nor is the situation made better by the reflec-
ton that property losses are so frequently ac-
companied by grievous and costly loss of life
as we'll suffering caused by inevitable accidents
and burns that stop short of taking life outright
What is happening every day in the fire menace
and waste, shows clearly enough that we are still
a very long way from indulgence in over-cau-
tiousness against fire.
There are opportunities in the situation for all
to contribute towards reducing these calamitious
losses, and practicng kind of thrift that is in
deed worth while.
That half billion could be put to infinitely bet
ter use; but not to worse.

GRADE CROSSING PSYCHOLOGY When

GEADE CKOSS1NG PSYCHOLOGY- When
i'll, people will spend weeks or months in bed and
money for doctors nurses and medicine, with the
hope OF saving their life. But judging from the
number of grade crossing accidents, many of
them place their life in imminent peril by dashing
across the track in front of a fast-moving train
and even into the train rather than spend 10 sec
onds waiting for the train to pass.
The psychology of this is not easily discernibe.
1t is evident, however, that not grade crossings,
but carelessness in effectng crossing is the seat
OF trouble. Many devices have been installed
for protection of public at grade crossings but the
most effective safeguard is for drivers of autos to
stop look and listen.
North Carolina enacted law requiring autos
to stop before crossing and in six months with
this law in effect in spite OF increase in register
ed autos, grade crossing casualties on the prnci-
pal railway systems of that state were reduced
50 per cent, fatalities being instead of 8, niur-
les II instead OF p.
When it is considered that such law is intend
ed to safeguard the drivers of autos against injury
or death at crossings, it would seem that they
above all others should favor its enactment
If the stop law" effects such reduction in
North Carolina, how much greater would be the
saving of life from passage of similar law in all
states.
