States to live? Yea. if they ohtain passes from American consuls in Ger-
Wilbur E. Mallaliau, president of the National
Fire Protection association. Here is an author
ity, eminently qualified to speak, and absolutely sure of" his facts. His findings can be accepted
asj trustworthy.
Since this has been written $1,000,000 worth
of. property has been consumed by flames and
mbre than .50 persons have been victims of the
fire god. .Every minute of the day a fire some
where in ! the United States is destroying prop
erty, i I And who pays the bill? All of us. Mr. Mai
laHau estimates ' the per capita fire loss in the
United States $2.10, compared with 49 cents in
France, 33 in England, 28 in Germany, and 11 in
Holland.
What is the cause of this deplorable loss of
property and lives ? Mr. Mallaliau answers, "Just plain American carelessness." That's what his association is trying to fight. That's why Fire Prevention Day is to be cele
brated on Oct. 9. "If you don't want a fire, don't start one," is the motto for the day. An excellent maxim, well worthy of our consideration, to be written in large letters and kept constantly before us at home and in the store and factory. "Our annual fire loss, which exceeds $300,000,000, is equivalent to 5 percent interest upon a capital fund of $6,00,000,000," says Mr. Mai-
- J , i - , w V .
a permanent investment of $6,00,000,000 in the expensive habit of playing with fire. The outlay does not represent money transferred with attendant stimulation of business activity; it represents resources blotted out of existence. Whether insured or uninsured, there is no fire which does not leave the country, definitely and permanently poorer. Worse than all is the fact
fort will be wasted.
Fire Prevention Day should summon us to
duty. Let every resident of Richmond examine
his premises and remove combustible matter. Let him see that matches are kept in safe receptacles. Let him instruct the children in the
dangers of fire. Let him see that the flues of his house are not potential fire causes.
In a day of high building costs, fire preven
tion assumes major importance in our household
affairs and in our municipal economy. The in
dividual and the city have an obligation which they should not ignore. Richmond has been spared a conflagration. So far the fire department has been able to cope successfully with blazes in residences and" business blocks, but we
have no assurance that a fire, fed by combustible materials and fanned by a high wind may not
some day wipe out a whole section of the city
Other cities, with fire departments fully as effic-i r
ient as our own, have suffered this calamity. To prevent a conflagration, join the move inent for the prevention of fires.

Know Your City There is considerable food for refection in the observation of City Engineer Davis that many of us are unacquainted with the scenic beauties, historical points, and attractive features of the city in which we reside. Residents of other cities, to use an example, know about Glen Miller park, and it is a common sight in the summer months to see hundreds of
automobiles from outside points parked under the trees while their occupants explore the beauty
spots of that sylvan nook. Many a city of metropolitan proportions would give thousands of dollars for a park possessing the natural beauty of Glen Miller. And yet, hundreds of our own citizens let summer after summer pass by without enjoying a picnic under its trees or taking a walk along its many paths. And there are many more places of interest jn Richmond. The plan devised Mr. Davis to advertise among ourselves the advantages of our city deserves support. You cannot boost your own city, its beauty, its resources, its factories, its streets, its parks, its manifold advantages until you .yourself know about them. 1 ...

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
THE BIG TASK OF BEING HONEST Honesty is much more than a policy it is a big business! Dis honesty is to steal not money especially but something. And to steal, you don't have to take from somebody else. People steal every day from themselves. When- you do less than' your best in anything,' you are dishonest with yourself. And when you cheat yourself, you do wrong to the atmosphere of
the entire world. For we are all in-
termeshed as a body spirit about the general good and happiness of the All. It is a big task just to be honest. Where folks fall down heaviest in this great job of being honest, is in the attitude they take toward themselves and their work. The very act of carrying on one's fight, shifting no burden or responsibility, of playing the game according to the rules whether anyone is looking on or not here in themselves are suggestions toward becoming more fit in honesty. The complainer is a very dishonest person. Not the protestor, mind you
but the whiner! We are all born with the instinct of honesty within our hearts. We drift from our best as we seek dependency. There is a sort of regal splendor about the mind that has vision with the courage to act back of it. Most of us are able to dream: but to execute the things we see that is one way of playing honest with our inside eyes. Nature doesn't cheat. It is honest to the core! So that the nearer we consult the natural leanings and bearings of our nature, the more honest we are sure to become, as well as be. Guard the things that belong to you alone your honesty most of all.

"Why?" asked her friend in surprise. "I cannot enjoy the games. The cheer leaders, shouting at me with their megaphones, make me so nervous."

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today
The health officer of Chicago warns us that another flu epidemic is coming, so it is best to know the precautions to take when you get the ailment. They are these, according to the best au
thorities: Stay in bed, stay out of doors, don't breathe cold air, don't breathe hot air, take doses of whisky, don't violate the Volstead act, exercise a great deal, sit or lie still all day. We often find ourselves wondering what became of the aviator who started last spring to hop fr,om Australia to the South Pole. Where did he hop to
from there, if anywhere? Nero, sitting on the wall of his palace, ceased twanging his lyre, and gazed at his favorite.
"History," he said, "Is wrong.
"How come, O noble asked the maiden.
"History is wrong in that I am not to allow Rome to burn while I twang my lyre and then go and fall on my own dagger. I know history says I have got to commit suicide, but life is sweet and I have an idea." "Yes, yes, O Fat Prophet of the Universe." "I am going to take my lyre and go on a concert tour through America.
Any foreigner can do it, even worse players than I can do it. And I'll tell the world I need the dough as badly as the next one."
$200 WINS MAN $50,000, TESTIMONY OF P0N2I BOSTON, Mass.; Oct. 1. Charles Ponzi testified Thursday that he set tied for $50,000 a suit of Joseph Daniels based on a loan of $200, because the action brought by Daniels for a division of profits had tied up Soli'.OOO
of the money invested in Ponzis gei-i rich-quick scheme, and with a run on j
Ponzi needed the money to meet demands. When he opened offices, Porszi said, he bought his furniture from Daniels, paying $50 in cash, and having no further funds, borrowed $200 more from the furniture dealer. It was this $200 which Daniels claimed as the basis of a partnership with Ponzi, and on which - he sought to recover $1,000,000.

t ' CLIMATE. For balmy airs I've always wishci', and now I have my heart's desire; the finest climate ever dished surrounds me as I crank my lyre. The summer brings no sizzling heat, but from the sea cool breezes blow; the winter has no snow or sleet to fill rheumatic lega with woe. But when I lay me down to sleep, I dream of Kansas every night: of Kansas, where wild blizzard sweep, and summer heat is just a fright. .Some day, no doubt, I will depart for Eden, where all things are fine, where scalding teardrops never start, and grief and woe take in their sign . There with the saints I hope to roam along the crystal river's shore, exulting in that final home where sor row soaks us nevermore. But still my thougths will wander thence at times, when choruses are stilled; I'll lean against the jasper fence, and with strange longings I'll be filled. Strange longings for the old elm tree beneath whose boughs I used to stray; strange longings for the Kansas breeze, that blew our county seat away. New splendors rise at every turn, new glories every hour I find; yet my old heart
