CLEAN YOUR HOUSE fiOK'I BURN IT DOWN

Fire Chief Evinger Says to Have a Fire Anymore Is Very Bad Form.

Patriotism In many and .various forms is showing up these days. iOne of the very patriotic efforts being made in Terre Haute is the work of the city lire department, of which C. E. Evinger is the chief. Chief Evinger is putting forth every effort to get a reduction on the Are insurance rate for Terre Haute. Since the war 10 per cent has been added throughout the country to thp fire insurance irate. Since Terre Haute is the third city in the United States in the record of low rate of fires, the chief believes that its insurance rate should not be raised.

He explains that although a quarterly inspection only is Required within the city limits, he has a man continually doing this work, and that while the legal requirements for inspection in outlying: districts call for semi-annual visits, these are being made quarterly. He announces that every flue within the city has been seen, and that before fire building time next fell, he expects every one needing repair to be put in first-class shape. With the tire department wlurking as it is to secure ior the public a lower Are insurance rate, Chief Evinger is urging that

this same

public co-operate in the work of look Ing to its own Interest. Ha passes out the following data an issued by the state fire marshal as to how citizens may assist In the under taking, and especially requests that every person in the city read the marshal's advice:

Spring Hints.

"The Indiana state fire marshal is very anxious that all persons be careful when they have bonfires to see that buildings, fences and other property is not eudangered by flying parks and burning brands. "The following points should be borne In mind when burning the winter's accumulation of rubbish: "Burn your rubbish at a safe distance from fences, sheds, barns and other property. "Don't burn trash on a windy day, us sparks and brands may be blown to the roofs of surrounding buildings, and fires caused. "When burning trash, always keep some one on guard to see that fire is not allowed to spread to other [property. "Observe carefully local ordinances regulating the distance from buildings that bonfires may he built the time of day they are permitted, etc. "Do not permit the children to play about the fire. In Indiana last year more tharv ten children were burned to death while playing about bonfires. "Remember, that through your carelessness valuable property may be destroyed! Conflagrations have started from the little bonfire. Pave property and lives by the exei-cise

the great

est caution. "Burning rubbish fires to the number of 83, caused a loss jjf |49,Q00 In Indiana last year."

In the marshal's bulletin also appears the following quotation: Now About Patriotism. "Our enemies are not all in Europe, and It was as a weapon to be turned against those of them who are lurking "here on our own soil that this law was created. They wear no uniform and do no,t fight us in the open but they are here plotting in various ways to prevent the products of our mines and our factories and our forests and our farms from* clothing and feeding and I arming our own fighting forces and) tlioso of our allies." I

Statements concerning Indiana fires during the month of March are made as follows: "Records kept by the Indiana state fire marshal show that seventeen persons were burned to death in Indiana tluring the month of March. Kerosene and gasoline caused the death of nine of these, making a total of eighteen! persons whose lives *&ava been, lost through the use of careless handling of these liquids since January 1st in this state. Eight of the seventeen deaths in March were caused by other fires. "Of a total of twenty-nine badly -injured bv fire during March, gasoline and kerosene were responsible for the injuries suffered by seven persons, and other fire account for injuries to twenty-two people. A very large percentage of the deaths and injuries that occurred from causes other than kerosene and gasoline was the result of clothes becoming ignited from bonfires and trash fires."

WIFE WORTH $5,000.

Floyd, carpenter, of 2430 Second aver.ue, in Superior Court Saturday for the alienation of his wife's affections.

Will Resume Drive.

That an early resumption of the German offensive Is expected was indicated in Saturday's reports. Tt was generally believed that the German high command would strike again as soon as it could reinforce the shattered divisions and bring up field artillery. It was pointed out that the German strategy demanded the continuance of the drive, no matter what It cost or its attainment.

Discontent la Growing

WASHIXG, April 27—Out of the roar of the great western battle came official stories of courage and daring on the line of fire—and suffering and growing discontent among the Teuton peoples behind it.

icans are recounted as indication of the bitter fighting nof going on. But while the German drive in Picardy and Flanders has ,had its rewards at terrible cost, conditions "back home" are not so good.

Austria, Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria and Turkey are quarreling about expected spoils, allied cables say.

Zurich dispatches, announcing the resignation "again" of Premier Von Seydler, emphasizes the "grave crisis" confronting Austria, over the union of the Christian socialists and the German parties with the forces opposed to Von Seydler and his cabinet, because of the manned in which the food situation has been handled. "The question now involved,** French dispatches tonight concludes, "is whether the cabinet will resign in a body or whether dissolution will be ordered by the monarch."

Food conditions in the central em' pi res will grow more acute, at least until the Hungarian harvest, due late in May, begins to relieve the strain.
