Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10 S^dom does the editorial page scoop ’ the news columns. This is an exception. A tremendous disaster ti C ^A Oday - Sporty valued at 51,466,744.44 was wiped out and 41 persons lost their lives by fire The destruction proceeded continuously through 24, hours; very hour $61,115.60—every minute $l,OlB 59— every second $16.97 was wiped out! This is another way of stating what the National Board of Fire Underwriters, the highest authority on the subject, tells us—namely, that our national annual fire loss is $ 535,372,782. M hat this means may be comprehended from a few comparisons. Our annual production of gold and silver is $103,1 19.741 —less than one-fifth of our annual fire loss. As a people we protduced wealth of $1,900,287,000 in our 1922 corn crop; but we wasted more than 28 per cent of that amount by fire. Our 1922 cotton crop amounted to sl.192,461,000; our fire loss was 44 per cent of that sum. In 1923 we paid Government internal revenues, excluding income and inheritance taxes, totaling $309,015,050. We wasted by fire that same year more than half again as much as T'ncle Sam collected in these revenues. What is the cause of this loss? Fire department chiefs, insurance actuaries and other experts tell us that 75 per cent of our fires are partly wholly preventable, the results of one form or another of carelessness. Carelessness certainly is to be denounced. But it is a delusion to Hi ink that the time ever will come when it will not be necessary to forestall the results of carelessness. If you expect people to cheer you you muot take a chance on them laughing sat you.

' *!!g—— ——— ———, , THE FAVORED FOUR Because of Supreme Quality, New Performance Results, Advanced Engineering, Superior Workmanship

Out of the Chrysler engineering and manufacturing skill come the extraordinary performance and value of Chrysler Four—plus quality and beauty never before equaled in its price class. The Chrysler Four is, in the most precise sense, a fine car—fine in principle, fine in materials, and fine in its standards of manufacture and assembly. It is built with painstaking care, and to a degree of aceuracy and precision, heretofore unknown among cars of its price—in the most modern and scientifically equipped manufacturing plants. Obviously, when such quality is combined with the unusual roadability which results from Chry-
