Insurance Men Promoting
Fire Prevention Week

insurance rates adversely. Prop
erty owners should have a per-
sonal interest, as we'll as respon-
sibility, in the prevention Of
fires for rates and losses naturally
maintain a faily constant ratio,
and insurance companies cannot
lower fire insurance rates until
the fire waste of the nation is
reduced.
Fire insurance has been built
up in this country to take care
of every honest loss at the lowest
possible rate, but fire insurance
companies do far more than pro-
viding the public with all the
protection needed. Insurance
Companies combine and cooperate
in fire prevention campaigns.
They point out fire hazards,
suggest Improvements to make
property fireproof, distribute lit
erature on this subject, and spend
large sums of money every year
in this service.
The Washington times., 1932-10-11
By FRANK F. LOOMS

This week has been proclaimed
Fire Prevention Week by Presi-
dent Hoover. The week, which
always includes october 9, the
anniversary of the Chicago fire,
is observed to call attention to
the seriousness of the fire wastes
in this country, and to show
how fires can be prevented.
Fire destroys lives. homes and
jobs and places a tax on every
one. Fire is responsible for the
loss every year of about 10000
American lives, and a property
waste of approximately $500, ,O00,,
600.
so Per Cent AvOidable
A large proportion of this is
due to carelessness. Fire author
tiles say that over 80 per cent
of fires are avoidable, for with
reasonable care and forethought
fires can be prevented entirely
or put out before they cause
damage.
Every citizen should give his
wholehearted cooperation to the
national movement to prevent
fires, not only during Fire Pre-
vention Week but at all times.
Few persons realize the true sig
nificance of the destruction Of
property by fire and its effect on
the economic structure Of the
nation.
The nations fire loss of $452,-
100000 last year was a big factor
in retarding business recovery and
in furthering unemployment.
When property burns, the ma
terial destroyed represents a def
mite portion of the country'S
natural wealth, and the continued
loss of the nations wealth
through fire waste means en-
dangered industries.
Unemployment Results
Unemployment is the result OF
an industrial fire and the accom-
panying loss of wages lowers the
buying power of workers, conse-
quently affecting other busi-
neSSeS.
Heavy losses naturally effect

SCORED
BY THEODORE KOSLOW


NEW YORK, Oct. II 0.N.SO.
The curb market staged a brisk
comeback today, under the com.
bined influence of pre-holiday
short covering and speculative
buying for turn.
The list discarded its recent
reactionary tendencies almost
from the start.
Bears Are Trapped
In one or two instances, the
bear faction found itself in more
or less of a trap, such as in
Electric Bond and Share which
opened almost 2 points higher,
and efforts to extricate them
selves merely resulted in a fur
ther mark-up in values.
The persistent firmneSS shown
by the run of pivotal leaders en-
couraged quiet demand on reces-
Sions from the early highs, and
advances of substantial proper
tions were the rule in a number
Of the more volatile favorites.
Bonds Come Back
Electric Bond and Share was
the days outstanding feature,
pushing ahead to % for a gain of
3 points on heavy buying, Amer
ican Gas and Electric advanced
2H points to 273s, and gains OF a
point or thereabouts were made

BERGER OF BRAVES
MAY BECOME A CUB
Trade Said to Be in Making, With
Bruin Hurler Being Given
for 0utfelder.

By the Associated Press.
~HICAGO, June 1.-THE old
I rumor that the Chicago Cub
Y 4 are about to make deal for
an outfielder had popped up
again today.
The latest candidate was Wallie
Berger Of the Boston Braves, a strong
hitter last season, but not so strong
this year. President William L. Week
has conferred with President Emil
Fuchs Of the Braves, but has not re-
vealed the topic Of conversation. The
reports said a pitcher-not named
would go to the Braves for Berger.
The major league rule requiring clubs
to be down to the 23-man player limit
by midnight of June Is, was no imme-
date source Of worry to either the Cubs
or White Sox. The Cubs were down to
% men and the Braves to %. after
sending Outflelder Jack Rothrock to
Toronto of the International League
yesterday on option.
