13 PARADE IMPRESSIVE OF FIRE PREVENTION SOME OF THE ATTRACTIVE ENTRIES IN YESTERDAY'S FIRE PREVENTION PARADE. THE SUXDAT OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND, OCTOBER 10, 1915. On one of these occasional gusty, dusty days of ours, riding along in your open car, hasn't it struck you that it would be a fine idea to have a Sedan Top, a top that would let in all the scenery and the sunlight, and keep out all the blow and bluster? On the other hand, if you already use a Sedan, hasn't there been more than one occasion, when friend sun is not burning things up, and lungsful of air and breezes on the brow are the things you're after, when you have voted the Sedan oppressive? If this dilemma has troubled you, you'll be interested in the KisselKar, for its Detachable Top arrangement enables you to have a closed car when it's chilly or rainy, and an open one when it's warm and pleasant; and you can secure the two bodies at a price very littte in excess of the touring car alone. The top is fastened by means of six small inside bolts and the same top irons used to carry the "Summer" top and windshield. You and one assistant, a' wrench, and twenty minutes' work, and the deed is done. Cost of Useless Blazes Last Year Averages $6.67 to Each Person in City. CAMPAIGN BROUGHT TO END Organizations, City Officials, Stn dents Unite in Spectacular Dem onstration to Bring Home Itn- porta nee of Early Action. Every man, woman and child in Portland lost J6.67 through useless fires last year, and a formidable street parade yesterday morning sought to Impress the significance of this fact upon the public. Doubtless the parade made a decided Impression. Those who were responsi ble for it hope it will be a lasting im pression. The parade was the most spectacular feature of the "fire-prevention" cam paign which had raged here all week. It marked the clirr.ax of the campaign and was followed by a luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce, at which the business pecrple of Portland gave sincere recognition of the services ren dered here in the last year or so by Jay W. Stevens, fire marshal, who has reduced the fire losses hero materially. Credit lven Marshal Stevens. The business men and the insurance underwriters who attended the lunch eon insisted that Marshal Stevens, single-handed, has been responsible for the improvement in Portland's fright ful fire record. Mr. Stevens modestly protested, though, that his co-workers in the Portland F"ire Department have done all the creditable work. Anyway, it was a day of education and inspiration for the people of Port land and should have been one of Joy and gratification for Marshal Stevens. The parade was the big event. It started at 10:30 and moved along the principal business thoroughfares that were lined by many thousand people. A squad of policemen, followed by tho police band, headed the procession. Then came Mayor Albee. the City Com missioners and other city officials in automobiles. The city administration has been giving official aid to the fire prevention movement. Many Take Part in Auto Mne. Followed then a long automobile line containing representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, the Credit Men's Association, the Underwriters' Kquitablo Rating Bureau, the Progres- Klve ttuslness Men's Club and other or ganizations. McBlroy's band furnished the music for this section. Attached to some of these vehicles were banners proclaiming the startling information that 16 lives were lost in Portland last year through fires that could have been prevented and that the per capita economic loss was $6.67, while the per capita loss in Europe was 33 cents. A whole volume of advice was con tained in this declaration on one of the forward machines: "If you have a metal can for ashea that's a good can to rush." Forntry Display Is Attractive. An attractive display was that of the United States Forestry Service in which a pair of uniformed foresters rode with some of the equipment used in check ing fires in the forests. Banners ap pealed for extending the fire preven tion movement to the forests. County officials and their deputies rode in machines immediately preced ing a long section representing the Portland Fire Department, headed by the departmental band. Scores of pieces of apparatus and hundreds of in dividual firemen in uniform were in line. Somi of the men rode in private automobiles but most of them manned the engines, trucks and other vehicles used in fighting tires. - Cloth banners attached to the fire wagons appealed strongly for preven tive measures. "Demand safety matches." said one. "If your grocer won't supply them swat him." Attention Called to Fire Alarm. "Where Is your nearest fire alarm box?' asked another. "When you need it, you need it quick." "Gasoline is as dangerous as gun cotton." proclaimed a third appealing for caution fn handling this commodity A splendid representation was that of the various public schools that have been most active in fire drills. Su perintendent Alderman and other school officials headed this section. JefTerson High School boys followed in a string of motorcars decorated with a serpentine effect in fire hose Ockley Green School displayed the silver cup recently wo in the grade school contest for excellence in the tire drills. Other schools that made good show ings were Holladay. Couch. Clinton Kelly, Montavilla. Sunnyslde. Hoffman Kern, Alnsworth and Washington High.' tome of them were supplemented by their drum corps. Bringing up the rear was a company of Washington High School boys car rying the tire extinguishers that they use in their Are drilia ih HIBERNIANS TO INITIATE Monster Banquet to Follow Cere many in East Side Hall Today.
