CARE AND COOPERATION
 TO PREVENT FIRE LOSS

Fire Chief Ralph E. Thurston. ab- sent from the city to attend an im- portant national convention, prepared message to the people of Putnam before he left The paper was read at meeting of the Putnam Rotary Club at its weekly meeting, Wednes- day.
 The fire chief emphasizes careless ness and thoughtlessness, and false economy in building construction, as responsible for much of the alarming loss suffered throughout the country every year and urges cooperation on the part of the citizens as one pre- ventabie measure. The paper read before the members of the Rotary Club is worthy of careful study by every citizen and is herewith given in full.--
 Fires Preventable
 For years the campaign for fire prevention has stressed the word care iessness. The overloaded fiat iron, neglected rubbish, faulty flues and a legion of other similar causes have been blamed for the fire loss of the country. They have all been group ed under the one heading prevent able and the word carelessness has been so oyerworked in this connec- ton that it may become ineffective.
 Of course, there are careless" or "thoughtless" fires. Doubtless there will always be careless or thought less people. It is not crime to have a careless or thoughtless fire, but if such a fire burns down building it is a crime and shame, and that is the point which should be emphasized rather than the start of q fire and its label, ''carelessness. In other words, American buildings should be so con structed that they will resist fire until the fire department arrives
 Carelessness has been emphasized until it is forgotten that one per cent of the number of fires is re- sponsible for sixty-six per cent of the total loss. These figures were arri.- ed a; q study recently made of fires in the large cities of the United States. Fires of sl0,000 and over were considered large and although they were only one per cent of the total number they produced sixty six per cent of the total loss. There should be no large fires. When mak- ing comparisons between America and foreign countries the fact is over looked that because of stringent liabil- ity laws abroad there is tendency not to report small fires, and that their buildings are so constructed as 0 resist fire until the people them selves ef the fire department can put them .stgt

Clash on Questionnaires.
Serious dissension has broken out in
the Democratic ranks in the county
within the last few days as the result
Of the sending out of questionnaires to
all of1ceholderS In the county, asking
them to register In writing their inten-
ton of supporting Smith. The letter
and QUESTIONABLE was mailed by
Samuel Harry Styles, secretary of the
Democratic executive committee of the
county, who told a representative of
The Star at his Office in the Trans
portation Building in Washington that
the matter was mailed at the command
of the executive committee and not of
his own volition.
The statement which each Democratic
oft1ceholder Is asked to sign is as fol-
lows, 1.-THE undersigned Democratic Of
f1ceholder of Fairfax County, Va,
hereby publicly states that he will vote
for and support the entire Democratic
ticket in the general election to be held
November g."
There are signs throughout the
county that the demand has not only
aroused great indignation in some quar-
tiers, but that it will be ignored by some
of the most influential Democratic Off
Gals Of the county. One man, who has
been prominently identified with the
Democratic party in the county for 20
years, called the letter IAN outrage and
an imposition on the loyal Democratic
oficeholderS of the county"
II have been loyal Democrat all
my life," said this man, "but am 60
ing to use my own Judgment IN this
election"
This QUESTIONABLE is somewhat SIM
liar to one that has been sent to office
holders in Londoun and other Virginia
counties. In Loudoun County those
who sign it, and those who do not, find
their names published in separate col
oumns In the Democratic newspaper OF
Leesburg, In matter designated as ''polit-
ical advertisement"
The Ku Klux Khan in Fairfax County
is organized under the name Of Cavaliers
of America, Inc, and has headquarters
at Fairfax Court House. It is very
active against Smith and is flooding
the country with copies of the Fellow
ship Forum and other anti-Snith iitera-
ture. Many leaders of the Order OF
Fraternal Americans, which is the Vir-
ginia branch of the Junior Order OF
United American Mechanics, are trying
to keep politics out of the order, but
other leaders of this organization are
quietly working againss Smith: The
woman's branch of this order is the
Daughters of America.
Taking it ali together, even pro-Smith
Democrats with whom The Star cor
respondent talked admitted freely in
private that Fairfax County is in very
bad shape"

az the Associated Press.

JOPLIN, Mo-, October Ex-senator
William E. Borah of Idaho in the final

interest-an increase Of the tariff inn
ports on metal ores to maintain the
American market free from foreign i'm
ports.
With his speech to be broadcast over
the radio into the great tri-State lead
zinc mining field of Kansas. Missouri
and Oklahoma, the Senator was urged
by leading mining operators Of the field
and Southwestern Missouri Republican
chieftains to devote large share of his
speech to this subject.
In the preparation Of his address to-
day. the Idahoan called upon the mine
operators 10 furnish him with statistics
about their industry, although he was
familiar generally with its problems, as
metal mining is an important industry
of his own State.
The Senator will devote some time
tonight to discussion of farm relief
and immigration, he said, because he
feels both issues are of considerable in
terest to the State.
After tonight's speech the Senator
will return to Washington for confer
ence with MIR. Hoover.

the economics of farm distribution than
any man in the United States, II not
in the world" said the Senator. He
is thoroughly familiar with every phase
Of the problems connected with agri-
culture and with the marketing and
distribution of farm products.
II believe under his leadership the
farm problem will be effectively and
permanently solved and shall do my
upmost to aid him in his efforts to
bring about this solution"
Senator McNary summarized the Re-
publican plan of farm relief as follows
can adequate protective tariff upon
farm products, reorganization of the
marketing and distributing machinery

the farmer upon higher level. the
creation with Government finance and
leadership of farmer owned and con-
trolled Sterilization corporations, ex-
