Per Capita Loss From Fires.
This Year WILDE S4.0
Chief Baker Says
Fires Are More
Expensive Than
Ever Now

Fires were never as expensive
as they are today. Harry NJ. Bak-
er. chief of the Nays Fire De-
partment, said today.
This is reflected in the per
capita fire loss which shows an in
crease of la percent in ten years.
On 1910. the per capati loss was
SIT. Based on the first six
months of 1850, the per capita loss
this year viii approximate $4.64.
Further evidence of the high
cost of fire is recorded in the first
six months of the current year.
In this period, the loss exceeded
the entire year of 1910 by SCI, ST.
900, or nearly 80 percent. In 1910,
the estimated fire loss was $685.
491 600 In the first six months of
1850. the estimated loss was
1861, Ill., 900.
Such figures might indicate that
fire protection engineers are fight
ing a losing battle, but the Ma
tionaI Fire Protection Associa-
ton. a technical non-profit Or
ganization and the source of these
alarming statistics, declares that
such is not the case. The NFPA,
sponsor of Fire Prevention Week
currently being observed, reports
that the increased fire loss large
" reflects the general increase in
property values. The dollar which
measures the fire loss has been
inflated like any other dollar.
Actually. the NFPA reports that
fire protection engineers feel real
progress IS being made. The As
ISOLATION points to the fact that
the number of building fires, esti-
mated at $4,000. Is about the
same as ten years ago. even though
there has been an increase Of
nearly 5000. 900 IN POPULATION. and
increase of SIS million new dwell
ing units. and a great expansion
of manufacturing and warehous-
ing facilities and other buildings,
vastly multiplying the number Of
fire hazards
Just as there has been little
change in the total number of
fires. so has there been little
change in the causes of fire. ac-
cording to the NFPA- Careless
ness with matches and smoking,
use of explosive cleaning fluids;
misuse of electricity; accumula-
tons of old furniture, magazines
and newspapers in closets, base
ments. and attics; dirty and defec-
tive heating plants and stacks:
and flammable wood shingles
roofs continue to account for
roughly 80 percent of all resident
al fires.

Stroke Formation

l. The twin secrets of the Over
head is to keep the ball IN front
of you and to drop the arm and
racket completely down in back
of the shoulder.
2. The Overhead is hit with
the same basis stroke as the fiat
service, but A LITTLE FURTHER
IN FRONT OF YOU.
3. The racket on impact is
angled down instead Of straight
thru as in the service.
4 Face in the direction you
are going to smash Don't bother
about placing the body sideways
to the net as in the start of the
service.
5. Drop the racket and arm
COMPLETELY DOWN AND BE-
HIND SHOULDER. Any stopping
of the arm or racket IN the back
swing viii spoil the smash.
g. From the down position
whip the arm UP and crack the
ball hard. The wrist and elbow
act as whip. Bend IS gone from
elbow on impact. Follow through
completely.
Z. When smashing from the
baSeline, the Overhead is identi-
cal with the service. with the
racket coming straight thru the
ball from behind instead of from
behind and above. This Is in order
to strike DEEPLY into opponents
court.

THE OVERHEAD SMASH
The Strategy of the Stroke


l. The Overhead is a put-away
shot It's all or nothing. You kill
the ball and win the point
2. You always aim for the op-
ponent's DEEP court, or, SHARP
cross-court
3. Take the lobs in the air in
preference to the bounce when
ever you are in a position to do
50. A treacherous wind on rare
occasion will make it advisable
to wait for the bounce before
smashing; or when the sun mo-
mentaTily blinds you.
4 Leave the ground on the
Overhead only when necessary.
But do leave the ground when
the ball will otherwise pass over
your head When forced to leave
the ground. time the jump well
and KEEP THE BALL IN FRONT
OF YOU.
5. The first couple of times
you smash are vital in a match
Nothing discourages an opponent
more than to see his good lobs
killed.
g. Never hold back your stroke
in the overhead, except on rare
occasion when you can put the
ball sharply cross-court for the
point on a ball too high for a
shouIder-high volIey.
7. When a lob does go over
your head. sprint back after ii
and, whenever possible, smash
rather than lob your return
