Mayor Calls on City to Observe October 9 as Fire Prevention Day

Tuesday, Oct. 9, will be Fire Prevention day In Indiana, following es - tablished custom. On that day schools and civic organizations throughout the state will devote some time to the rules of tire pre vention, and mayors of various cities; have issued proclamations concern inu the day. It is to be a day of education, a day in which enthusiasm and ood citizenship will be aroused to the utmost. Several schools In South IJep.d have already made plans for observance of the day, and Mayor Keller has issued a statement us follows: "South Lend, Ind.. Oct. 6. "To the Citizens of South Lend: "For many years past. Oct. !. the anniversary of the jrreat Chicago fire of 1S71, has been observed as Fire Prevention day by proclamation of the governor. This is an important observance, especially at this time, when every dollar that goes up in smoke is a dollar which cannot be used in the fight for democracy, when, in our national econ-

It was stated at the navy department that this was only one of a number of such encounters between American destroyers and (lei man submarines which have taken place and the news of which will now be made public from time to time. omy of resources, fire is a form of waste. Our natural resources can be conserved by reducing the preventable fire waste in this country, and Fire Prevention day, as a means of education and example, offers an excellent opportunity to bring the for this conservation bepeople. necessity fore the "In our schools this day should be observed especially. There, in the minds of our citizens-to-be, can be instilled the necessity for constant care which is the only insurance against the danger of life and property. Every citizen should read, and should heed, the warnings given by the state fire marshal, should watch with jealous care, lest, through some fault of his own. lives of property be lost. "South Uend has built up and equipped a lire department of which we may be justly proud. Very few lires, however great the headway gained, have been beyond the power of our firemen. The city has furnished an adequate force to fiKht a lire after it has started, and it is the duty of every citizen to do hla part in making the work of that ;orce easier, in doing the best he can toward fire prevention. "So with the feeling that every citizen man, woman and child will profit by the warnings and instructions which Fire Prevention day will bring- forth, South Bend sfeps into line with other cities of Indiana to make Fire Prevention day fuliru Its purpose. ("Signed) "FIIKD W. KELLER, "Mayor of youth Hend." I'llis Heartily Approves. Dr. Horace Ellis, state superintendent of public instruction, in a letter to Indiana school superintendents, heartily approves of the observance of Fire Prevention day in the schools. "Of all the many days set aside by tradition and by law for special observance by the public schools, from j the material point of view. Fire Prevention day is probably the most im portant,' says Dr. Ellis. "The department of public instruction cordially approves the commendable efforts of the state lire marshal in his aggressive campaign to reduce the losses both of property and of lifd to the minimum in Indiana." i In connection with the day, Stato Fire Marshal H. II. Friedley has issued the following "Thoughts for Fire Prevention Day:" The tire waste of the country j is excessive, and l-i sapping its i prosperity. Reduction of the ! tire waste is an important part j of the campaign for the conseri vation of the national resources. ! Fire losses in the United i States exceed $200,000,000 a J year, most of them due to care- ; lessness. ! Fire losses and the cost of fire prevention in the United States I amount annually to $30u,000, j ooo. j The cost of fires each year is I one-half the cost of the new ; buildings erected in a year. The legal doctrine of personal and tinancial responsibility for preventable lire loss is steadily gaining ground. The annual per capita fire waste in the United States is $2.51; in Europe, ?,:: cents. Cause: The latter has bettor construction, less carelessness, increased responsibility. If buildings in the United States were as fireproof as In Europe, the annual cost of fire losses and protection would be only $90,000.000. Over 5.0C0 are killed and 50,000 are Injured annually as a result of fire. Defective Hues are responsible for 1?, percent of all the fires. All fires are the same size at their start. Every second counts, so re prepared. An ounce of hre prevention is worth a pound of tire extinguishment. The way to get lower insurance rates is to have fewer fires. joins snii:n.Ki-:it.

TO TEST UTILITY

OFMILITARY ROAD

Value of Army Highway Expected to be Forcibly Shown by Experiment. CHATTANOOGA. Tenn.. Oct. . j A forceful demonstration of the value to the nation, a system of military highways connecting the supply bases with the military cantonments. wIU be made Thursday, Oct. 11 when six-two ton motor trucks laden with government supplies for the supply depot of the post quartermaster at Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga., will leave the warehouse of the depot quartermaster at Atlanta for the 113-mile trip over the Dixie highway. At the wine time a test will be made in the transportation of infantrymen, when a specially constructed high powered passenger truck, built according i to specifications of Major-Gen. Leon ard Wood; will transport 16 soldiers from Ft. McPherson to Ft. Oglethorpe, together with their fcuns, ammunition and full marching equipment. The outcome of the test is being watched with the greatest of interest by army ollicers, pariticularlv those in the supply and transportation department. Major R. H. Powers, U. S., Q. M. C. post quartermaster at Atlanta, assisted by Capt. A. T. Dalton, U. S. Q. M. C. post quartermaster at Ft. Oglethorpe will prepare data as to the time required and the cost of making a similar shipment by rail. Official observers will compile data relative to the time required In blading, transporting and unloading the supplies, road conditions, and detailed costs of gasoline, oil, depreciation, etc., on the trip. The Dixie Highway association, the Georgia State Automobile association, the Chattanooga and Atlanta Automobile clubs are giving every cooperation in obtaining the information desired. A large escort of cars from the Chattanooga and Atlanta clubs will be on the road during the day. As the trucks and escorts will be equally divided between the Dalton and the Home routes, the counties through which the highway passes are hard at work making all of the Improvements possible In order that their road may make a good showing in the test. With good wcath conditions, when the highway bet veen Atlanta and Ft. Oglethorpe will approximate those of an all weather military road, it is confidently expecteö that from 12 to 2 t hours will be cut off the time ordinarily required in making this shipment by train. It is likewise felt that a saving in cost may be had when comparison between rail and truck costs is made, particularly in view of the fact that the motor truck can load, transport and unload at 'destination without the necessity of a double transfer from truck to train. However, the saving in time will lie the most Important item of consideration to the government at the present time. The secertary of war and Maj.Gen. Leonard Wood in letters to Judge M. M. Allison, president of the Dixie Highway association have called attention to the high patriotic service the citizens of the Counties can perform in the construction of important links of the Dixie highway so as to make it available for military service. It is pointed out that even where the highway is used for commercial purposes, the service to the nation In providing roads which can be Used for this purpose is just as valuable, as it releases much needed freight cars for the longer hauls, and enables business, which might otherwise he compelled to suspend on account of freight car shortage to continue as near normal as possible.
