PUBLICITY CHtCKS NtW LOSSES BY FIRE

Warning of Avoidable Blazes Has Proved Effective—2,678 Fewer In Year.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—Through its campaign of education the fire department has materiallyy reduced the number of fires in the city, according to the report of the Are commissioner,

Robert Adamson, submitted to Mayor Mltchel. Hundreds of thousands oC olrculars telling how fires may be prevented have been circulated among business houses, theater employes, schools and trade bodies. The campaign has progressed so far that even in 1,200 pulpits clergymen have cautioned their congregation to adopt tho safety measures urged by the flre department. "Fire prevention day," on October 9, was only one of the methods taken by Mr. Adamson to thoroughly awaken the public to the fact that most of the thirteen thousand fires in the city last year could have been avoided if the simplest precautions had been taken.

Mr. Adamson informs the mayor that he is certain the destruction or many hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property and the loss of many lives may be prevented if the publio can be aroused and kept aroused, to the necessity of observing tne simple "Don't" prescribed by the fire department.

Aside from this awakening of the public to the necessity of caution and vigilance, the commissioner, through his flre prevention bureau, has established regular inspection of lodging houses, business places, theaters, film storage plants and even residences.

Most Fires Avoidable.

"Despite all the efforts of the department," says Mr. Adamson, "there Is a vast amount of public disregard of simple precaution against flre, as is shown by an analysis of the reports of fires for the year just closed. "For instance, glancing down the list of the principal causes of fires, It appears that cigars, cigarettes, and their careless handling, caused no less than 1,079 fires last year, with an estimated loss of $306,335. The careless handling of matches caused a property loss in New York of $131,888, the totai number of such fires being 1,175. Children playing with matches caused 588 fires last year, with a loss of $32,243, making a total from this cause of 13?(••"'"Another fruitful source of careless and entirely avoidable flres was the bonfire, and fires from brushwood igniting fences. These flres numbered last year 1,058 and cost New York $10,280. Thus, out of a total of 12,9."8 fires for the year 1913, we have 3,900. or more than an entire third, caused by culpable negligence.

Thoughtlessness Is Blamed. "Taking the other main causes ot fire, such as careless handling of gaslights and illuminants, stoves, furn-

JACK EDWARD CRITCHIiOW.

Jack Edward is tho ore-year-old so of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Critchlow, of 1417 Orchard street. He is sho wn in the attitude of calling the house to order and when he does, you bet ev erybody listens.

aces and steam pipes, the misuse ot benzine, fires in chimneys from failure to clean flues, and such items, it appears that thoughtlessness and ia^k of care cover practically the entire list, with the exception, perhaps, oi those fires which were deliberately set for the purpose of arson or through pyromania—tho disease for setting fires.* "Fortunately, may persons are beginning to 'think flre beforehand' and to heed the thousands of warnings which have been sent out by the flr6 department. This is shown in the fact that we have had in this city 2,678 fires less in 1913 than there were In 1912 with an estimated monetary saving of $1,601,583. "Despite the decrease in the number of flres, however, there are still large numbers of careless flres. There Is no reason whatever why New Yoric should have 12,958 flres in one year, as was the record for 1913. The estimates of monetary loss here given do not include the economic loss, or the loss of employment from flres and the consequent loss of business nor does it include deaths and injury by flres. If all these elements were included in tlw calculations New York would be astounded at the total flre loss."

Scouts Beneath the Waves Keeping Ta on Hostile Fleet—Submarines Improved.

LONDON, Nov. 80.—It Is impossible to overestimate the Importance of every indication of the uee of submarines and their success or failure in the present war, because war experience with under-water craft hu never hitherto been available, writes H. C. Ferraby in the Liondon Daily Express.

The report of the torpedoing of the Pathfinder by a German submarine is in this connection of interest, but its importance is less than the Indications of the use of submarines for scouting purposes.

Many people must have been considerably puzzled by the official statement that the success of the operations which led up to the engagement at Helgoland, for example, was due in the first instance "to the information brought to the admlr by the submarine officers, who have during the last three weeks shown extraordinary daring and enterprise in penetrating the enemy's waters."

However was it possible, they may well have asked,' for a blind bat to aot as a scout?

The plain faot of the matter, of course, is that under a veil of secreoy submarines have been built In the laat three years that are a remarkable advance on the earlier craft about which so much was written ten years ago. The whole theory of the use of the submarine in war has undergone revision.

Germany, until quite recently, looked upon the submarine as a weapon of a weak power that only wanted to guard Its own coast line, and had no pretension to the command of the seaShe has, to some extent, modified that view, as we have seen in the Incident of the attack by U-15 and her coneorts of the first light cruiser squadron, and in other incidents that are not equally well authenticated, though they are generally believed in naval offices to be correct. But it is the British naval officer and naval constructor who have developed the submarine to its full use as a weapon of offensive warfare.

It is not merely a question of sight, though the development of the submarine has been accomplished by even more remarkable development in the perlsrope, the eye by which the submerged submarine looks acrosa the surface of the waters. The original periscope consisted of a lens and prism in the top of a tube, and the image of the surface of the water was thrown, in the manner of a camera ob scura, on a sheet of paper.

This was a primitive contrivance, full of shortcomings, but In all the Improvements that have taken place the principal remains the same. The sheet of paper has, however, vanished An enlarged view all around the surface

The commander of the submarine who Is scouting does not therefore keep his eye glued to a small keyhole all the time, but is free to move about his craft as to the officer of any abovewater vessel.

This freedom of movement, which may also be called habltuality, Is one of the most striking features of the new submarine. Psychology plays a far larger part in the science of naval warfare than many people realise, and psychology long ago dictated the increase in size of the submarine.

The present Rear-Admiral B&oon was one of the first naval officers to realize this, and I remember hearing him say on one occasion, ten or more years ago, when underwater warfare was being discussed, that small submarines would never be of much use.

LOST HUNTERS ARE FOUND.

Ann Arbor Men 8uffer From Cold and Lack of Food. MARQUETTE, Mlch„ Nov. 20. Weakened by hunger and exposure, but otherwise In good condition, George Millen and George Huntington, two Ann Arbor business men who had been lost In the woods since last Monday, were found in a deserted hunting camp dug out, nine miles north of Camp Newton, from which they set out on a deer hunt. A runner from Grand Marals brought the news to Camp Newton last night

Millen and Huntington were found by Joe Desjardlnes and Matt Olll, of Grand Marals, experienced woodsmen, who started south of that town yesterday. The men were In condition to be moved and were brought in today.

The runner said the two hunters had suffered intensely from the cold and had had nothing to eat for nearly three days.

THE CASE OF LEPERS.

Present Conditions In This Country Outlined by Dr. Dyer. Ir. Isadore Dyer, of New Orleans, offered these facta and opinions ooncernlng the national care of leprosy at the recent convention of the American Medical associatl: "Since 1890 leprosy has been systematically studied In the United States, and cases have been reported for nearly half of the state of the union. Louisiana, New Tork, California, Massachusetts, Texas and Minnesota have been more notably afflicted than other states, and in each of these states some attempt at action has been made. Leprosy has been shown to be indigenous in Louisiana, Texas and Minnesota, and, probably, in New Tork. The medical journals continue to report Imported cases, showing that there la no difficulty for these casea to pass quarantine. Massachusetts has made, state provision, and Louisiana has establtshed a leper colony with over ninety cases. California takea systematic care of its lepers, and Minnesota, Oregon and Texas have promulgated laws, laws. "The lack of any general plan for the segregation of leprosy, however, has resulted In their migration from state to state Increasing tne danger of Its spread. The federal government has so far failed to take serious action with regard to leprosy In the United States, notwithstanding Its paternal function in Its colonies, where ample provision has been made both In money and In facilities. The opportunity for reasareb In the bacteriology, treatment and cure of leprosy is one which should appeal to the federal government even If the sanitary side has no significance. As yet the work on leprosy In the United States has been independent and conducted In the laboratories of colleges and of private Individuals. Morevvcfc be«i done in the study of leprosy in the United States proper than In -the colonies, notwithstanding the restriction in facilities. ''While leprosy Is slowly contagious and probably mildly contagious, Its usual horrors argue the danger of neglect. There are in the United States, according to the last formulated report, nearly Ave hundred cases. This Is probably only a fraction of those in existence. At least two bllla have been presented to the national congress for enactment ooverlng the establishment of a proper institution for the care of leprosy, but both died in committee. More exact knowledge should be stimulated among public health officers and the medical profession regarding leprosy, with a view to a proper recognition of its occurrence, with such recognition there may be stimulated a widespread demand in the national congress for a proper action which would take care of lepers within the confines of the United States."—New Tork Times.

UNABLE TO NAME ASSAILANT.

Woman Victim of Thug Dies Without 8peaking. AURORA, 111., Nov. 20.—Miss Jennie Miller, 55, who was struck down by an iron wrench and left unconscious in the yard of the Free Methodist church here Wednesday night, died today. She had not spoken since the attack. Miss Miller was the daughter of a former mayor of the town, and was considered wealthy. The police waiver between a theory of robbery and a belief that a lunatic seized the woman and crushed her skull.

To the last minute the physicians tried to bring the woman back to consciousness that she might give some clew as to the Identity of her assailant. A delicate operation in which two pieces of bone pressing on her brain were removed failed to produce the effect desired.

Dandruff must be removed and the hair roots nourished to stop falling hair and ltohing soalp. It is unnecessary to have thin, brittle, matted, stringy or faded hair. No matter how unsightly the hair, how badly it is falling, or how much dandruff, Parisian Sage fubbed into the scalp is all that is ever needed. The hair roots are nourished and stimulated to grow new hair, even all dandruff is removed with one application, and itching scalp and falling hair cease the hair becomes soft, fluffy, abundant and radiant with life and beauty.

Parisian Sage, a daintily perfumed liquid, is one of the most pleasant. Invigorating and refreshing hair tonics known, yet perfectly harmles3 and inexpensive. After the first application you will be surprised and delighted with Parisian Sage, for there is nothing that will so help to double your present attractiveness as luxuriant, glorious hair, and this tonic treatment is all that can possibly be desired.

Be Sure to get Parisian Sage from Baur's Pharmacy, or at any drug or toilet counter, as there is no other so effective.
