; of the nation. Newton T. Miller, fire i marshal of Indiana, points out in appealing for strict observance of fire laws and the constant exercise of can- | lion by every Individual, from the school child to the community leader. ’’Whether he suffers a tire loss or not, whether he curries insurance or I not, ev-ryon.' must contribute something to the <o.t of fire," Mr. Miller I asserts. ’’Fire costs are added to | the prices of th" clothes we wear, the (food we ent, ,rad the taxes we pay, because insurance rates, and replacement and restoration charges must be met and uro translated Into the prices the consumer has to pay." The cost of conducting the insurance business and of maintaining fire departments and water systems is largely made necessary by carelessness and heedlessness. "The only remedy for this waste, this toll on every one’s own funds, is an awakened, public consciousness; a broader understanding of personal responsibility in preventing fires. Constant education and training is the need. New babies are being born every day and they will never knftw auy of the reasons or purposes of fire prevention unless the whole people can be broughf round to see those reasons and purposes, and everyone begins thinking and acting in terms of fireprevention." The 1922 fire loss in the United States was’ $521,000,000.

Staff Correspendent) Tokyo.— (By Mail to United Press'. —The first two orders of the Reconstruction Commission, appointed to re build Tokyo and the devastated district were: “No red tape. No pull." The orders specified that everything must be done in the most expeditious manner. regardless of pre cedents and rules and regulations—and that nobody was to have a fat job. or any kind of job because .of family connections of political pull. The next order or rather appeal, was for everybody to exercise the ut most e.s.-noiny. and uot spend money in useless personal extravagances.
