- , Resolutions befog In order with the
coining of the New Tear, Fire Marshal
Edward Greafell has pointed out that a
few regarding fire prevention might well
be adopted. ;
. The average householder or business
man is a careless person when It comes
to Cres," he said. "Unthinkingly they
will do things that are the cause of
great loss by fire. It is not tntentlonal
but merely toat they do not consider
the effect of their acts."
. One of the commonest causes of fire,
he" Mid. was carelessness by smokers.
Indiscriminate throwing of cigar and
cigarette stubs and burning matches was
a thing that" could be prevented and
was one of the things the marshal sug
gested as resolving against. t
The resolution to dean chimneys too
. was most heartily approved by the mar-
ahaL alone- with a proviso that the
', structure of the flue be inspected. This,
ha said. "Would prevent a large number
. of residence fires and not make the use
of apparatus on such cans so common.
Motorists are implored by the marshal
to make and keep a resolution, .not to
' took In gasoline tanks .With a .maum.
Disastrous results .can be easily pre
vented, he said,, by simple precaution
about the use of an open flams' where
velaxOa snlrtts arewtored. That appin
to .the use of gasoline, ben sine and ether
for cleaning clothes In homes.
Some of the other things to be avoided
daring the year, as pointed out by the
' marshal are:
: Accumulation of rubbish In basements.
puma- wood, and kindling against the
. chimney in the basement.
Pntttas' ashes In wooden barrels.
' Leaving Abe electric Iron on while the
operator is lit some other part of the
. Leaving matches where children can
get them or where they wlTt Be
walked ecu
One of the 'most important thtngs to
reaohre, he said, was to remember the
telephone number of the fire department.

Senator Miles Poindexter. chairman of
the senate naval affairs committee, who
at the instance of the White House
stopped the progress of the soldier bonus
bill in the I senate, in an exclusive in
terview with International News Service
declared today that congress would pass
a soldier bonus bill early next year.
Poindexter declared that opposition to
him and other senators by the American
Legion' on 'the ground that the bonus
bill had been killed, is unjustified.
1 did not move to UU the bill," he
said. T simply moved that it be turned
back to committee. vBlnce this action

candidates t for reelection, have been
condemned by ' soldier- or raniaaflona

The . senator win probably be un

which is practically equivalent to elec

heavily Republican. He was emphatic
in his denunciation of soldier and other
organizations which sought, in what he
called an Undue manner, to influence
the course of legislators.

With the work on five new school
buildings progressing rapidly, bids are
again being advertised for wrecking tne
old Couch school at ' Seventeenth and
Lovejoy streets, which In its time was
as modern a building as any of tne new
structures.
The old Couch school was bunt In
1882. at a cost of nearly $30,000. It i
regarded as quite tne latest dtoom id
school architecture and especial pride
was taken in its ventilation, plumbing
and lighting. Nearly 11 pages of the
annual report of 1882 were devoteu to
descriptions and pictures of the new
building. Recent advertisement for
wreckage brought only one offer, a sum
too low to be even considered by the
board.
Of the new buildings, four will be
ready for occupancy the beginning, of
the second term, and the new James
John high school will be finished in time
for the opening of the school year next
September.
The third unit of the Rose City fane
school. East Fifty-seventh and Sacra

H. G. Doering. Bids for the plumbing.
