A THOUGHT ABOUT FIRE PRE-.
VENTIoN

Were one to review in his mind the
people he knew how many among
them would he conclude guilty. of
arson. or even capable of it?
But such exist, Unknown" is the
word applied in this country to an
annual fire loss amounting to
around s20O.OO0,O0O. The line of
hre losses on the chart corresponds
TO the line of business. going down
as business becomes good and going
UP when business failures increase.
Surely there's reason for that re.
mark IN the mouths of people: SELL
ing out to the insurance company. a
startling reason, come to think about
1t. This, of course, is more common
In the big cities. where neighbors do
not know one another. In commune
ties where they do how many can
think of his neighbor, hes a fire.

Really a firebug is a very OBJ
1ectionable member of society. even
though he regard it as a profession
by which he may live, even though
ne belong to an arson syndicate
amply capitalized and pretty con-
ndent OF immunity. Aside from be-
Ing Obstructive rather than a con-
structive factor in society, aside from
the fact that he destroys the ac-
foundations Of capital energy and
brains. he is q potential murderer.
While selling a stock Of goods to an
insurance company he so may
smother human life. put human be-
ings to the torture of flame.
= No, the firebug is not a desirable
member of society, is a menace,
Most Of us can think of none among
our acquaintances but can call to
mind many we are pleased to recog-
nice as useful members of society.
There are lot Of nice people in the
world. We should not forget that;
indeed some insist we should think
only Of the nice people and Of the
good there is in the world. Shrek

do that. Always there is some
deviltry afoot that everybody re-
CARDS news" and Of course we all
want the news and one finds good
ness among people tiresome and
commonplace-but here comes Fire
Prevention Week and one is re-
minded that the insurance companies
IN some places in this good land are
seriously perplexed to know what to
do with those who. instead of CO.
operating to reduce the fire risk, CO.
operate to increase 1t. And all who
CARRY fire insurance must contribute
to- the loss occasioned by arson. It
would seem an opportune time SER
iously to think about the unknown"
among the causes Of ire: to think
about that chart line Of IRE loss. ris-
Ing proportionally as the line Of

Mr.. Houghton could have done no
more than look on as an interested
observer, not only because his direct
participation would have been in vio-
latiOn Of etiquette. but also because
every indication shows the Anglo

plete long before NJ BRAND came to

Indeed. now that the conference-or
conversation - is over, observers
want to know what IL was all about
since no official informa tion was given

Secretary of Interior Continues as
Trustee for Otoe Indians.

The Secretary of Interior was
named trustee for another 10 years
over Indian lands of the Otoe Reser-
vation, Oklahoma, by an executive
order signed today by President Cool
idge. All of the land on the reser-
vation was allotted to the Indians
by an act of Congress 25 years ago,
providing trust to prevent the In
dians from selling their land during
that period, with the provision for an
extension of the trust at the expira-
tion of the first trust.
Four hundred and forty one land al
lotments are affected by the trust, to
which fee patents have been issued
in 159 cases. leaving 282 cases for
present consideration. Of this num-
Der 79 of the allottees are deceased,
with 34S heirs interested in the es-
tate, "a of whom are minors and ia
old and infirm or otherwise incompe-
tent.
