INDIANA FIRE LOSS SHRINKS i Indianapolis, Nov. 22 —(UP)—lndia J na fire losses were one million dollars Fess in the year ending Nov. 1 than [they were in 1926, according to Alfred mogston, State Fire Marshal. During [the same period city fires decreased [noticeably in number, but country fires [were slightly more numerous. [ "The reduction in fire loss was due largely to the fact that people are becoming educated in methods of fire prevention, and are taking greater care in handling and storing combustibles," Hogston said. ‘‘Fire fighting equipment also is being constantly improved and residences and business buildings are being constructed of non-cum-I bustable materials to a much greater [degree than formerly. ‘lt is interesting to note," he con- | tinned, ‘‘that while fire in the southI ern part of the state outnumbered I those in the north almost two to one, [the fire loss is just about equally diI vided. There are several contributing reason/br this. The southern districts are handicapped by a spare population, resulting in homes being more scatter- | ed and less able to aid one another in I case of fire. In some cases there is al- [ so a lack of adequate water supply | and a dearth of modern fire fighting I equipment. Incendiary fires are much i more frequent south than north,” he I added. - ■ o David H. Swaim, Os Bluffton, Completing 69th Year As An Editor Bluffton, Ind., Nov. 22 —David H.

ideal woman of the day was sensible enough to know her first attention should be for her home and children. "But in these days”, Bromfleld continued, "It is not necessary for her to give her entire time to home and childres. It is far better for her to have sqme other interests. “A woman's success in business is not dependent on the loss of feminine qualities."
