rs CAREFULNESS ENOUGHo

Authorities tell us that the nine greatest causes
OF fires are: Notwithstanding defective chmneys
spontaneous combustion, sparks roofs, electricity
petroleum and its products, lightning, sparks from
machines
Chiefs of fire departments, insurance actuares
and others in position to know frequently tell that
at least IS per cent OF fires either partly
preventabe' or "strictiy preyentable" The great
jority of them are attributed to one form or another
of carelessness.
Carlessness certainly is to be denounced. But
1t IS delusiOn to think that the time will
when Will not be necessary to forestal the results
of careleSsness.
In IA of the 49 states misunderstanding is re-
Sponslbe for the largest fire losses Now ii, in every
maches the place where 1t occurred had been built of
incombustble Materials the consequences of the
lessness obviously would have been less disastrous.
In IL states "defectiye chimneyS and flues'
the most prolific II the chmneys and flues
had been constructed properly, the fires would not
have oCcuTTed or the construction around them had
been fire protected the fire losses would has been less
severe.
In seven states. the greatest damage was due to
sparks roofs Ii the roofs had been of non-inflanl-
able materials, the sparks would not have started
fires.
In fact, one principle applies to all the nine list
ed greatest originating OF fire except possibly
lightning and petroleum. and the principle is this
With certain exceptions, the causes of fires
are themselves faults Of construction else their
disastrous effects coulu be limited obviated
by proper construction.
Which impels Us to this conclusion-carefulness
with combustlbles Is net enough to reduce tre-
mendous annual fire loss Of 5535 372782 The funda-
mental cause of combustion IS combustbility. The
results of caTeleSsness b. the Of incombustibIe

DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. c.
Hurting carthward from an alti-

airplane afire and trailing tongues
of flame and smoke until the falling
craft resembled some shooting me-
tor, three army aviators miraculous
ly escaped death by retaining their
presence of mind
The flyers brought their plane to
4 safe landing in corn field near
Fort Des Moincs army post after
one of the most thrilling peace time
experiences in the history of avia-

Those aboard when the motor
burst into flames were Lieutenant

following the air mail route across
the continent from San Diego to
New York, where they were to com

Indian Policy Wastes
Manhood and Millions.
(By Hon. Clyde Kelly)


The Indian Bureau System is a
wastreI, profligate beyond descrip
ton. 1t wastes every year millions
OF dollars collected from American
taxpayers and millions more ab.
stracted from the possessions Of
the indians themselves. 1t wastes
still other millions which would
accrue from this untaxed Indian
wealth once it was Americanized.
1t wastes the self respect of q race
and the possibilities of proud
people. 1t wastes material re
sources by ineficiency and spiritual
resources by dependency and
pauperism. 1t wastes the conf
dence of the Indians by setting up
decoys that lead them to their
doom. 1t wastes their labor by
setting them at futile tasks which
have no value in real American
civilization. 1t wastes their youth
in segregated schools which per-
petuate tribalism. 1t wastes ma,
turity by keeping them in wigwam
and tepee and making them aliens
in the land of their fathers. It
wastes money and manhood, char
acter and citizenship, and conserves
only idleness and ignorance and
vice.
In this day of conservation, it is
time to stop this waste. In this
day when overburdened taxpayers
are praying for economy it is time
to save money whose expenditure
works injury to the American In
dian and the American public
alike. ~,

To the Editor of The Journal:
1t is important that q notice
be published in The Journal cor
recting the last paragraph of my
letter on the Chippewa Indian
question which was published in

paragraph should read that the
Indian Relief Committee arranged
for quarters at 902 Hennepin ave.

goods and clothing for the desti
tute Chippewa Indians of White
Earth and Winnibigosish country.
The interior department and the

each other. The Indian relief
organization located at 9O2 Henne-
pin avenue is doing this work
without the aid of the government
in any way what ever.
