WOULD ABOLISH.
ALLOWANCES

Due to the confusion arising from
the varied decisions of the Comptrol-
Ter General, Maj. Gen. Kenzie
Walker, chief of finance of the Army.
has recommended that allowances
paid to officers of the uniformed SER
vices, whose compensation is fixed
by law, for dependent parents and
for children, be abolished altogether.
II is stated that many taxpayers
would approve such course, as they
fail to see why an officer should
receive more pay, If married or has
dependents, thus penalizing the
bachelor officer.
BY the abolition Of these allow
ances the pay Of officers would be
placed on uniform basis. with vari-
alton regulated only by the length
of service, pay period and rank.
There has been no definition of the
meaning OF dependent" and dis
bursting officers have been in doubt
as to payments that might be made
on that account.
It is reported that the expense to
the Army for the payment of the
allowances Is 100000 a year.

the less danger there Is of fire.
 The 18th amendent was a good one in helping reduce fires. because the more sober people are the less fire danger there is,"
 Teach your children when they see a fire starting to pour water on it. If it gets away from them have them call for help. Many deaths are caused and many homes lost by people becoming excited or hysteri- cal.
 Keep out of the way of fire ap- paratus when answering an alarm. Many lives have been lost this way, while apparatus was on the way 10 a s10 or $15 fire.
 Don't set your electric iron on anything but a metal stand.
 'In New York we must answer an alarm so quickly that when box 451 comes in, the company which an- swers 45 but not 45l is ready to drive out when the strikes. and the men return to their former places on the stroke of one.
 Tn the old horse drawn apparatus days a company would be on the street within nine seconds after the alarm came in. Now they can do it in seven.
 "The worst places for fires are the slums.
 Tn some sections Of New York fires increase whenever business Is bad. That's why insurance rates are high; somebody must pay for the less Some smokers are careless of the rights of others.
 About 10 firemen lose their lives in New York every year.
 Never take gasoline in a room where there is an open flame. The room will fill with fumes and the gasoline will explode"

N. '. DEPARTMENT
 F|REMEN 0N ALERT
From Bed to Street in Seven
 Seconds, Their Record

Out of bed and on the street on the way to fire in seven seconds. and actually fighting the flames in 60 seconds after the stroke of the bell in the fire house. has been &C., complished in New York city, ac- cording to Captain George Lloyd of the New York fire department, who spoke to the brotherhood of the South Congregational church last evening.
 Captain Lloyd said the success of the New York fire department is due to the fact that each man is on his individual responsibility. He has a certain duty to look after and he either does it or accepts the re- sponsibility, there Is no alibi.
 Carelessness and ignorance of fire hazards which have been the cause of many fires in the past have been responsible for the creation of the New York fire prevention bureau. with which Captain Lloyd now is connected.
 The visiting fireman carried a number of slides with which he H. lustrated his talk. He pointed out some of the ways in which property and often life are lost In New York.
 One picture showed a boy mailing a sheet of metal over stove pipe which ran too close to the wood work in a house. He said over heated stove pipes, too close to the woodwork often start fires. The use of low grade or rubber tubing for gas stoves is dangerous, according to Captain Lloyd, who recommends iron pipe on all occasions.
 Other fire hazards he pointed out were furnaces too close to cellar ceilings without protection overhead matches in homes not enclosed in metal receptacles, hanging clothing on a line to dry, too close to the kitchen range, leaving matches where children can get them, leav- ing an open gas flame unguarded or too close to window curtains, carry ing lighted candles into clothes closets, pouring kerosene on fire, placing cleaning fluid near an cleo tric iron, leaving an electric iron with the current turned on, opening valves into gas ovens and lighting the gas with the oven door closed, dirty cellars and carelessness in dis carding cigarette and cigar butts.
 Many people take chances on losing their homes to save the cost of 25 cent globe for a gas jet he commented. Other comments made by the veteran fireman who has been with the department in New York for sS years were as follows:
 God gave us heads but unfor- tunately many people only use theirs as a place for wearing out hats.
 "A cigarette or cigar stump thrown carelessly onto a rubbish heap may cause fire a half hour after the smoke has gone away.
