HEAVY FIRE LOSS
ON GEORGIA FARMS
IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS De
STRUCTIONS HAS AMOUNT
ED TO S1,666,752

That considerable part of Georgia's
population whose business is farming
shonld be interested in learning that
city dwellers are not the only ones to
suffer heavily and continuously from
fire. Perhaps they are dimly aware of
that TACT already, but some figures
released by the National Board OF
Fire Underwriters remove all doubt,
and indeed, make it only too plain
that the country's farmers, including
those in Georgia, are in need OF
schooling in practical fire prevention.
1T is found, states the board, that
during the four-year period OF 1918
1921 no less than $1,666,752 worth oil
Georgia farm property went up IN
smoke. the great bulk of this loss
probably 90 per cent-being from
causes that were wholly or partly pre-
ventabe.
Chiefly responsible among the
known causes in the state was what
is designated by fire actuaries as de
fective chimneys and Aues.' This cause
alone inflicted damage to the extent
Oh ,OLOO,COO, dllllOuSl llllS HdolOb
wealth might have been wholly elm
mated or at least reduced to trifiing
proportions. if chimneys had been
built solidly from the ground to cap
and properly lined with fire-Clay, and
together with their hues, had been
periodically inspected and cleaned OF
SCOT.
"Prominent also among the factors
which led to rural fire destruction in
Georgia were sparks on roofs, with
$220,842 recorded loss; matches and
smoking, with $97,631; hot ashes and
Goals, open fires, with $75,560. and
lightning, with SOLOS loss. And it is
significant that every one OF these
causes is regarded by fire prevention
engineers as strictly or in large degree
preventable by the exercise OF care.
ITO appreciate what this permanent
waste of property means, it is only
necessary to think OF such a sum as
81 ,066752 spent constructively in the
Georgia. 1t would, for example, have
purchased 1888 farm tractors at $500
apiece, and thus have helped to light
en- labor and to increase production
or it might have been invested in
good roads, OF which no state has
more than it needs; or again, il thrown
into farm loans it would have been
no negligible factor in agricultural
financing.

Madame Chairman Said
To Be Correct Title
Proper Method of Address at Meeting
Defined by Women's Organization.

Britishers have not yet grown used
to women filling positions usually oc-
cupied by men, and consequently lit
tie problems always are cropping up,
says the New York Tribune's London
bureau The latest is the method OF
address to be used by a speaker ad-
dressing the chair when it is occupied
by a woman.
Thus far there has been no accepted
formula, and some speakers just
humble something indistinctly or else
refer to the woman by name, Mrs.
Cor Mss SO and SO. Others say
Madame Chair or Madame Chairwo-
man Now an official of prominent
women's organization has come for
ward with the statement that the cor
rect way to address a woman in the
chair is Madame Chairman.
when a woman takes the chair, -
says this authority, she becomes a
chairman, just as when she writes a
book she becomes an author-not an
authoress."

UNDERWOOD is SEEN
A LOGICAL NOMINEE
CANDIDACY OF THE ALABAMA
SENATOR IS DECLARED TO
BE GROWING IN GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Thc candidacy OF
Oscar w. Underwood for the demo-
cratic nomination for president is
growing rapidly not only in Georgia
and other southern states but in many
sections OF the country, in the opinion
of political leaders here who have
made a close study OF the situation.
III the democratic party is to have
the slightest chance Of success at the
presidential election Underwood is
their man" is the burden OF a mum
Der OF reports which have been re-
ccived in Atlanta.
The republican partisan press, com
PEELED to acknowledge Underwood
great ability and capacity for leader
ship. frankly admits that his nomina-
ton is more to be feared by the re-
publicans than any other democrat.
1t is more and more evident, the
editorial straws in the wind show, that
the southern question has gradually
subsidized and by convention time will
have little or no influence. The north
ern press not inclined to stress the
question OF southern residence, and
turns to other matters as being more
pertinent to a discussion of availa-
bility.

GASOLINE PRICE
KEEPS ADVANCING
RECENT RISE COSTS CONSUM-
Frs 100000 MORE A DAY. RE-
LIEF FROM S. AMERICA.

DAYS OF thrift and nights OF profit
have come to pass in the oil industry.
While public attention has been fixed
on disclosures brought to light by the
senate investigating committee, gaso-
lene prices, out OF spotlight for the
moment, have been gradually easing
upward until consumers today are
paying 100000 day or more for
gasolene than they paid few months
ago, says a copyrighted article from
Washington to the Savannah News.
From IS to 90 per cent OF this sum
economists estimate, is paid by the
automobile users OF the United States.
The remaining 10 to IS per cent IS
paid by other consumers OF gasolene
Nor does there appear at the pres
ent moment an end Of the prlce-rms-
ing. Further increases are expected
bv those who have been following the
stormy course OF the oil inquiry dur
ing the past few months. Another
S5OO,OO0 a day increase lies well with
in the possibilities so we'll IN TACT,
that it is regarded as quite likely.
Exhaustive figures Just made puDhc
by the bureau of mines show that the
consumption OF gasolene in the United
States during 1923 averaged 1856
los gallons day. Exports during the
wear brought the daily available de-
mand for gasolene up to 2070l786 gal
Ions OF which was 90 per cent was
burned up in the United States
One cent a gallon increase in the
price OF gasolene, according to these
figures. means a rise in price OF $lS6,-
Isl a day to domestic users OF gaso-
lene. or about S5,500,000 a month. The
average price increase since the low
levels OF last summer is roughly cstl-
mated at three cents gallon at re-
tail. On that basis, the increase al
ready put into effect has mounted to
about $550.000 day, or at the rate
of $200,0000G0 year.
Last year was the biggest, in point
of production, that the rehueries ever
experienced. More than 7,50O,OOOOOO
gallons were produced-almost half
as much again as the output during
1921 and more than two and osc-halt
times the output OF 1917.
AT the present time, however, the
yield of crude petroleum is decreas-
ing. Geological survey figures, made
public today disclose an average de
crease of more than $4,000 barrels
day during January. No great new
fields are in immediate sight to bring
the figures back to their high level
In the face OF decreasing crude oil
production, demand for gasolene is
definitely increasing. Bureau OF mines
figures show, although during Decem-
Der, latest month for which informa-
ton is available, the usual seasonal
decline in demand was shown. De-
cember gasolene production, Also was
the highest on record, exceeding de
mand by nearly 90,000000 gallons
