CARELESS SMOKERS RESPON-
SIBLE FOR MANY FIRES

Careless smokers are responsible
for starting more fires in the Unit
ed States than are caused from any
other source. This fact was indi-
Gated as the result of a poll taken
recently by the Automobile Insur-
ance company and the Standard
Fire Insurance company of Hart
ford, Connecticut, in which fire
chiefs in 225 representative Amer
lean cities were questioned as to
the leading causes of fires in their
respective communities. Out OF
this group of centers ranging in
population from 10000 to greater
New York's nearly seven millions,
about 43 percent reported that the
careless disposal of matches, cigars
and cigarettes, showed up on fire
department records as the most fire.
quent cause, either directly or in
directly, of destructive fires.
The second most frequent cause
according to the report, is attrib
utable to poor housekeeping on the
part of residence and commercial
property owners and tenants. Ac-
cumulations of inf1ammable rub.
bish and waste materials both IN
side and outside of buildings was
shown to be the second most i'm
portant cause of fires in the ma
jority of cities queried, and ranked
as the leading cause in approxi-
mately so cities out of the total
group.
Other causes in the order of their
frequency are listed as follows:
Third, fires caused from miscel-
laneous electrical hazards, such As
defective wiring, appliances, fuses
short circuits, etc. Fourth, fires OF
undetermined origin. Fifth, chin

Sixth, defective chimneys. Sew

gasoline or other inf1ammable

posal of hot ashes.

him in the house of God among the
first places. One is found in the
place where his greatest interests
are and so of codrse Jesus was
sought in the temple. He was a
good listener and was so thought
full that he could take part in the
religious program of the hour. Here
are two fine suggestions for us. Do
we hear we'll and are we thoughtful
enough to participate in the work
of God?
V. A. "And all that heard him
We're astonished at his understand
ing and answers" Jesus had used
his opportunities to such a good ad-
vantage that he was SO we'll inform
as to be able to cope with the lead
ers in the knowledge of God. Chill
dren ought to be taught that the
secret of having a useful and hap
py life lies in being at their best
and making the best use of every
opportunity for self-improvement.
v. 48. "And they saw him and
were amazed; and his mother said
to him, Son, why hast thou thus
dealt with us? Behold thy father
and 1 have sought thee Here
Jesus had grounds for reproach in
that they left him without telling
him but he did not make it. 1t was
like him not to do it.
V. 40. And he said unto them,
How is it that We sought me? Wist
We not that | must be about by
Fathers business?" Jesus gave ev-
idence here Of intuitive perception
of spiritual truths and he was
quick to honor God as his Father.
Every child ought to honor God AS
soon as he comprehends the spirit

, years of age is none too early.

stand the sayings which Jesus
spoke" They did not understand
the mission of Jesus.
V. 81. "And he was subject to

parents.
V. So. "And Jesus grew in wis

three-fold development of Jesus:
physical, mental and spiritual, the
pattern for his followers.

PRINCE OF PEACE DECLA-
NATION CONTEST

Rev. Chas. J. Caller of the local
Presbyterian church, has assumed
the leadership Of organizing the six
teenth annual Prince of Peace dec
lamation contest in Morgan county,
at the invitation of the Ohio Coun-
Gil of Churches. Enrolment of
churches is already under way for
this annual speaking competition
among boys and girls of IA to Is
years. Contests in local churches
will be held on or before Armistice
Sunday, Nov. 10. Rev. Caller, in
announcing the plans, suggested
that local churches desiring to par
ticipate get their entries in at once
If they have not already done So
and thereby give their boys and
girls as much time as possible fol
advance study and preparation.

The Boyhood of Jesus, Luke
2:4O-52, for Sunday, Oct. 13:
The childhood Of Jesus in Nazar-
eth to this time is covered by Luke
in the statement that he was sub
ject to his parents and that he IN
creased in wisdom and stature, and
in favor with God and man.
V. 40. "And the child grew;
and waxed strong in spirit, filled
with wisdom; and the grace of God
was upon him." Here is answered
the question as to what kind OF boy
Jesus was. Jesus had natural
growth and added to that was the
ideal spiritual development, an ideal
for his followers. One does not need
to be unnatural to be a Christian
in fact that is the only way to De
truly natural.
VS.. Al, AZ. "Now his parents
went to Jerusalem every year at the
feast of the passover. And when ne
was twelve year old, they went up
to Jerusalem after the custom or
the feast" The law required that
all men (the women if they chose
to do so) attend the Passover
there was a religious recognition or
bows at twelve and SO Jesus accom-
panied his parents to the temple.
II is significant that at this age
many make their Christian decls-
ions. 1t is the beginning of new
period when the freedom Of the Will
exerts itself.
V. 43. "And when they had full
filled the days as they returned,
the child Jesus tarried behind In
Jerusalem: and Joseph and his
mother knew not of it." Note the
word carried" The boy Jesus was
SO interested in Gods program
that he stayed on in the house OF
God after the crowd left. 1t is a
good sign when one tarries in Gods
house. Joseph and his mother trust
cd their son and so allowed him spe-
cial privileges. 1t is compliment
to child when his parents will
trust him.
V. "A. "And they, supposing
him to have been in the company,
went days journey: ana tney
sought him among their klnsfolk
and acquaintance. 1t is possible to
lose Christ when going with the
crowd and not know 1t. But as soon
as we are conscious that we nave
lost him, then we need to seek MIN
in earnest.
VS.. As, As. "And when they
found Him not, they turned back
again to Jerusalem, seeking MIN
And it came to pass, that a1ter
three days they found him in the
temple, sitting in the midst OF the
doctors, both hearing them, ana
asking questions" When one mas
lost Christ then one ought to SEEK

the countrywide contest, while Elsie
Anderson, Pennsville grange, car
ried off second honors. Mrs. Porter,
county juvenile deputy was in

denied his participation in New
York organization politics, only to
be confronted with facsimile of an
official certifcation of his election
as county committeeman and his
membership in one of Tammany's

Perhaps it was slip of the
tongue when he hotly denied paying
an admiring tribute to Sam insult,
only to be faced with his own Ian

was president.

 Apostoli had technically knocked out Steele in non-title fight and previously had knocked out Thil.
 The New York Commission de- cided that Apostoli and Young Corbett would fight for the crown. Apostoli knocked out Corbett. Ceferino Garcia beat Apostoli and Ken Overlin won from Garcia.

The middleweight division has been in such a muddle for the last decade that fistic fans refer to the 160-pounders as muddleweights.
 Except for short periods the Ma tional Boxing Association, the New York Commission and other state commissions have been at odds over so-called world champions during most of that stretch.
 All boxing authorities can agree on only three world champions Heavyweight Joe Louis, Light Heavyweight Billy Conn and Ban tamweight Lou Salica-but none of the divisions have been quite so puzzling as the muddleweights since Mickey Walker withdrew to take on the heavyweights in 1881.
 Just to show you how things went we'll trace the middleweight championship trail back to Walker:
 Two Tourneys
 The NBA. ordered an elimina- tion tournam ment to determine Walkers successor. New York did too. Gorilla Jones technically knocked out Addone Piazza to gain NBA. recognition. Ben Jeby grabbed New York designation by defeating Chick Devlin in 1892.
 The NBA. went along with Marcel Thil when he won from Jones on a foul in France
 The New York version of the title passed in succession through title matches from Jeby to Lou Brouillard to Vince Dundee.
 When Thil, as former President Harvery L. Miller of the NB.A explains it, couldn't lose in Paris and won fight after fight on fouls (when no fouls were committed the NB.A. voted to withdraw title recognition and recognized the bout between Dundee and Teddy Yarosz for the title.
 Yarosz beat Dundee and was champion of both N.B.A. and New York, The crown passed from Yarosz to Babe Risko and on to Freddie Steele
 Then the two commissions fOrked off again on separate title roads.
