YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

There are two great tragedies of fire.
First, is the fact that eighty percent
or more of all fires, large or small, are en-
tirely unnecessary and could easily be pre-
vented.
Second, in : great many fires, damage
is much larger than it should be, because of
fire-fighting organizations to handle the
blaze quickly and efficiently.
The first problem is largely up to the
individual. The community can pass good
building codes and enforce Inspections of
prcperty--but these will be successful to
only small degree. without public inter-
est and cooperation Fires arising from
misuse Of heating plants. from the careless
disposal of waste matter, from inferior wir-
ing, cause damage to the extent of millions
a year. Every one of these fires could be
prevented if the property owner would go
to the small trouble and expense necessary
to assure safety.
The second problem, to most of us,
seems to lie in the province of municipal
governing authorities. They make fire
marshals, hire the personnel, and buy
department. appropriations, appoint IRE
equipment and apparatus. But the in
fhlence of the individual citizen can be ex-
tremely potent here. too He should de-
mand that marshals be appointed on the
basis of fitness instead of political consid-
Grafton, that discipline and training prevail
In the department. that apparatus be of
strictly standard make.
Iake Nc mistake--the prevention and
cueaching of fire is matter that touches
the lives and pocketbooks of us ALL For
saany years, America has led the world in
this waste-an unenviable record. 1t Is time
for the influence of the citizen 10 be felt.
Are you. Nr. Citizen. going TO be in
any way responsible for your next local
fire tragedy?

.HORSESA ARRIVE

NEW YORK, May 25.-When
the steamship American Banker
arrived at this port, she unloaded
a band of recent performers in
some of the greatest English
races.
Included in the arrivals were
John Hay Whitney's two Grand

Dusty Foot, both of which were
unsuccessful in their onslaughts
on England's world-famed classic,
though the former was slightly
more successful, finishing third in

Dusty Foot was the mount Of

Sir Lindsay, a 12-year-old son of
Roi Herode and bred in ireland,

Whitney silks abroad. In 1880 he
won the important National Hunt
Steeplechase and the same year
