Over 1,5OO Persons
 Die In House Fires
Needless Loss of Life Reported Annually in U. S.;
 Importance of Fire Prevention Week Stressed

New York, N. F., Oct. 8.-Despite the many measures taken in this country to prevent loss of life from fires, statisticians of the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance company point out that conflagrations- starting chiefly in homeS-cause the death each year of more than 1,50O per- sons, 6 figure which does not in- clude loss of life in burning ships, automobiles, airplanes and other vehicles, or in mine disasters.
 Emphasizing the importance of such campaigns as that conducted during National Fire Prevention Week, proclaimed by President Roosevelt for the week of October 4th, the statisticians point out the '.regrettable fact that the death rate from confiagration has shown no definite improvement in the past quarter century"
 Referring to the mortality experi- ence of their company, the statisti- clans give some details of how this loss of life from conflagrations is distributed. The maximum death rates, they say, occur at the ex- tremeS of life-during the pre- school years and the advanced ages, while about twice as many men as women die in conf1agrations. Among men in the principal working period of life, almost one-third of the deaths in confiagrations arise out of or in the course of employment.
 Children in schools, patients in and the staffs of hospitals, inmates of penitentiaries, factory workers, and dance-hall and theater patrons

are the chief victims of catastrophe fires" the statisticians explain. '1n spite of the large number of deaths due to such major catastrophes, the bulk of the deaths, possibly as many as two-thirds, result from the burn ing of dwellings, hotels, and apart ment houses.
 Needless Loss
 'It is unquestionahly true that many lives are needlessly being lost in fires. Tn fact, it is difficuIt to understand why many precaution- ary measures which have been in- stituted, and which should have had favorable influence, have not been reflected in lowering of mortality. A more thorough study of the causes of fires than has yet been made is needed to determine what influences have been at work to offset the benefits of these precau- tions. A thorough analysis would serve to bring out the points of at- tack which would yield the greatest returns.
 'The problem of decreasing the number of lives lost in burning buildings is largely one of reduc- ing the number of conflagrations in homes. But the terrible calamities by fire in schools, hospitals, peni- tentiaries, and in other public build ings, which have been all too com- mon throughout the past two dec- ades, point to the need for still more stringent supervision of such public structures and for check-up on the fire hazards present in the con- struction and management of exist ing institutions

Political Gossip :-:

claiming that Senator Matthew A. Daly, democratic candidate for rejection in the 9th district, is 8 "push- for his republican op- ponent, Attorney Edward J. Lynch. The latter is brother of State Auditor Frank Lynch of New Ha- ven, prominent Knights of Co., lumbus man. Daly, it is claimed by the republicans, lost many supporters because of his ham, ding of WPA matters while state administrator.
 Four are in the race in Plain- vile for the republican nomina- tiols for the house of representa- tiveS. They are w. l.. Corning, John E. Ls -nb, Attorney Robert Sneideman and Attorney Milton Koskoff. As there are only two nominations to be had the quar- tette will have to battle it out at tonight's caucus. Plainville usually sends republican representatives to the house.
 Residents of Granby have de- cided to set up a bronze tablet in honor of the late George s. God dard, who served as state li- brarian for many years. The tab- let will be set into the face of a cliff along the -tate highway in North Granby near MT. Goddard's former home. Chief Justice Will jam Maltbie is among those who started the plan going. The place selected for the memorial is in 8 narrow gorge along the road to Granville.
 Contests were scheduled in about one-third of the 29 towns in Hart ford county today in the g. o. p. caucuses being held to nominate for the house of representatives. In Burlington the contestants are George w. Hull, Town Chair man Morris Hogan and John Backes. Headmaster N. HI. Batch elder of the LOomis school in Windsor is being mentioned for the nomination there. In Mans field Representative Edwin c. Smith is being opposed by former Representative Annie o. Vinton. In Avon Mrs. Mary Brainerd Hewes, wife of Governor Cross executive secretary, is being men, tioned for the democratic nom- ination as representative. MT. Hewes is now a member of the house and Mrs. HeweS would take his place.

 The salaries of the ten men will cost the state $14,760 year says the Wethersfield legislator. MT. Swartz and his democratic col leagues and the ten brand new state capitol policemen who are receiving some $15,000 per year of cur money will weep on the night of November 3rd without the in- terposition of any tear gas at all" he declared.
 The absence of Representative William McDermott of Nauga- tuck from the next session of the legislature will be noticed by many. He was not renominated by the borough democrats, his place being given to Richard Dur kin. McDermott was an active member of the 1885 legislature. pepresentative Joseph l..

 A bitter fight which may have a serious effect on the vote for the democratic state ticket in Derby next month will be decided at the party primary next week. Three are after the two nomina- tions for state representative. They are Representative Frederick P. McEnerney, Thomas Woods and Thomas F. Molloy, veteran legis- lator who is attempting to stage a comeback. Woods is an ln- structor in the Connecticut state motor vehicle department. Derby is a democratic stronghold and usually turns in a majority or 800 for the state candidates. owing to the representatives fight two years ago this majority was cut to 800. This years flght is likely to be felt on election day, too, it is claimed.
 Miss Josephine MacTaggart and Warren A. Field seem to be waging the closest battle at the uresent time for the nominations for state representative. William P. GiIitz has withdrawn from the race, stating that he believes one of the nOminatio.-3 should go to woman. This is taken to n;dl- cate that he favOrs Miss Mac Taggart.

The Despondent Grasshoppers

a SEASONED maxim of the copy
4 n books is that frequently a
real cry does a person good. Leon
ard Bailer, once a Nebraska farm
er, is sure of it.
Rain washed away the railroads
around his Nebraska lands; the
drouth hit him squarely; then the
dust storms killed every living
thing; then grasshoppers arrived by
millions and settled on his farms.
Wasn't a thing for the 'hoppers
to eat but they were too tired to
move on and Leonard almost lost
hope. AS a last gesture, however,
he rushed out among the despond-
ent grasshoppers, and planted sew
eral sets Of the strongest and hardi-
est onions he could buy.
To his surprise the onions ma
tured quickly. The moment their
bulbs appeared above ground the
grasshoppers pOunced on them, ate
ravenously and burst into tears.
"And that" Leonard recalls proud
ly, sis how my farms were saved.
The land was drenched by the tears
of the grasshOppers and as soon as
they had drowned themselves 1 was
able to raise a normal crop"

Champion of the Oil Fields

Champion of the Oil Fields
4 SIX any Texas or Oklahoma oil
driller who's the best in his
business and he's certain to answer
why. Kemp Morgan, of course!"
Ask him why and he will tell you
it's because Kemp had more un-
usual experiences than any other
seeker after "black gold' ever did.
For instance there was the time
Kemp lost his best drill. He was
working in soft ground but he no.
ticed that the drill kept going slow
er and slower the farther it went
down. Pretty soon it stopped COM
pletely. When Kemp tried to pull
it out, it was stuck fast. Come to
find out that he had hit an alum
mine and the hole had shrunk up
around the drill so tight that even
Kemp couldn't bulge it.
Then there was the time Texas
'norther" swOoped down on Kemp's
rig. But it didn't stop him-no sir
rec! He just kept on drilling, and
brought in a 22-inch gusher. 1t was
so cold that the oil froZe as it
spurted upward so there was a solid
column of frigid oil. Kemp just
took out his knife, hacked it off in
three-foot lengths and shipped it
to the refinery on fiat cars.
That was in Texas but Kemp
had a funny experience once in
Oklahoma. He drilled a well so
deep that it tapped rubber mine
way down in Brazil. She began to
gush pure rubber, so Kemp just
blew his breath on it to make it
solid, cut it off in 11-foOt lengths
and shipped 1t to the place in Ohio
where they made tires for trucks.
When the average driller brings
in "duster," he moves his rig
away from there pronto. But not
Kemp Morgan! He knew what a
tough time the Kansas farmers had
digging postholes in the summer
when the ground was baked hard.
SO whenever he'd strike a dry hole,
he'd just take his two hands, pull
it up four feet and two inches at
a time and saw it off. Then he'd
ship a carload of these lengths
across the state line where they al
ways found a market.

Private Life of Jonah

l. lowed Jonah, theories Stanley
Suchwalko, it was a big-mouthed
fish In northern Michigan. His
friend, Laddie Hornik, captured the
monster in 1890, but couldn't decide
what to do with it. The size seemed
to destroy the fish's commercial
value and imagine Laddie's sur
prise, says Stanley, when the first
stranger to arrive bid fabulous
price for the fish's scales.
Laddie yelled "Sold!" Then he
recovered his poise, sheared off the
scales, counted the money and
gave them to the stranger.
"What'll you do with 'em?" asked
Laddie.
I'm a spade manufacturer from
Moline, Ill.," replied the buyer.
1--WE got material here for 6,400
spades Of the best chilled steel"
Buyer after buyer paid stagger-
ing prices for different parts of the
fish and Laddie, says Stanley,
didn't get wise until tremendous
price was bid and accepted for the
fish's stomach.

slit open the fish's belly and re-
vealed the golden throne upon
