Chief Anselm Sees
Increase in Fires

Every winter your fire department
has a larger number of serious blaZeS
TO fight than i'm the summer time"
declared Fire Chief Anselm yesterday.
''One might think that people all over
the country burn up their property
trying to keep warm, for the National
Board of Fire Underwriters reports
sharp increase I'm national fire losses
as cold weather begins.
This year. because Of the shortage
Of fuel oil. even more Of these winter
fires that cause to much suffering and
loss to the victims are apt to occur.
Some folks may attempt TO use make
shift heating apparatus" continued
the chief. Others may install de-
fective equipment in making the
change-over from oil TO coal. Addition
al danger is apt TO develop because
some Of the people who run these new
coal installations are not accustomed
TO handling such furnaces. Let me re-
neat the national boards warning
given early this fall: When conversion
is required all the work should be
done by qualified mechanics familiar
with domestic oil burner operation. 1t
paws 10 take no chances. For those
who are not accustomed tn firing a
coal furnace. the board recommends
the following procedure. especially IL
smalI-Sizp coal is used:
I. Pull hot Goals well tO the front
of the fire box.
>. Put on sufficient coal. slanting
il upward rs it goes to the back OF
the furnace.
g. BE sure to leave spot or hot
Goals uncovered as il il generated.
4. Open the ports I'm the fire door
and do not close the smOkepipe en-
tirely.
Dangerous conditions sometimes re-
suit from rusted smokepipes that may
permit sparks to ny out land ignite
hurnable material. Look for cracks and
holes through which sparks might es-
cape.

s. Burton Heath
Writes:

It is not necessary to have access
to any secret statistics to realize
that as of today. and as of any to-
morrow soon enough to be signifi-
cant. the United Mathis are losing
the battle of the Atlantic.
That fact is iEescapable in the
light of official statements that
axis submarines, mostly German,
are sinking our vessels faster than
we can replace them.
Considering also the official con-
cessions that We never had enough
shipping space for the war job,
the only sane conclusion is that a
bad situation is steadily becoming
worse.
This could mean that we shall
lose this war. 1t may mean just
that, unless we show little of that
American imagination and initia-
tive of which We love to boast.
How can We beat the U-boats,
solve our shipping headaches, and
get to the fighting fronts those
supplies which are useless while
they lie around factories, ware
houses and piers?
Obviously there are three methods
and no more.
The first is to reduce the sub
marine toll. Thus far every effort
in that direction has failed.
The second is to build even more
ships even faster than our astound-
ingly successful current program is
doing. And where shall we get the
raw materials in time?
The third is to cast tradition to
the winds. climb out of the deep
rut we are in, and beat German
initiative with American ingenuity
and initiative by carrying our car
goes where the submarines can not
even see them-much less torpedo
them.
That is what proponents of a
huge air freight fleet, to supple
ment and perhaps even replace the
water borne merchant marine, are
urging.
Aeronautical science has reached
a point where We can build air.
