Will Moore, Oregon state fire marshal in conference with fire chiefs and state fire marshal dep uties relative to fire hazards, stat ed that the people formerly, made fire by rubbing two wooden sticks through friction for about fire minutes and thereby creating, a spark. Today all one has to do is to scratch a match and in a frac tion of a second he has a real flame. This proves the march of progress along the industrial ine. Will Moore 0 STATE FIRE MARSHAL, 'U However, when. It comes .to firea and fire losses In the United States it is evident that America la appar ently ' no more civilized. ' than ' it was. one hundred years ago. ,r I am often - asked lf talk on common Hazards oeiore ciuos. Chambers of commerce and fra ternal gatherings. It seems to be an old cat and dried subject.. The average person ' of inteligenee could probably Rive a complete list of .all the fire hazzards surround ing his business or.' home, should he be called upon to do so, how ever, it seems next to lmpossiDie to impress on the people the fact of self preservation. " Will Moore stated that he be lieved the subject of common haz ards' falls in two parts -what is known as strictly preventable and partially preventable. ; Hazard is one of the first terms one hears when entering ' a fire insurance business or any channels connect ed therewith and you are also very early impressed with the real meaning of the word. There can not be too much knowledge or, vig ilance exercised relative to the subject of hazard that may cause fires.' When on recalls the creator gave, us; fires," first for heating. then cooking later- science devel oped the fire for light and power. When man began to use fire In many ways, he .was forced to. de vise at - the ' same time,' material and construction that would keep fire in ks place. Then came the Bcience of protection- llrom 'f ire brought - about through the "'Var ious uses of fire throughout- the world. It appears 'almost"' dally that . new inventions . and discover ies for protective devices and man ufactured. When the discovery of electricity was made ,and its con duct through wire. a covering for the wires were necessary to make surrounding property ' safe from fire.- When-candles. were used, it was necessary to devise some little attachment to protect the wood work In the, house from burning. When gas began,: mantles, globes and other equipment were used as safety appliances. : ' ;ln many of the steel and. con crete buildings the automatic, fire alarms, fire curtains,', automatic fire, doors as . well, as , sectional buildings were, all created to pro tect property , from fire. However, wherever we are en gaged in the fire insurance busi ness, our assured is engaged In another line of endeavor, and tire prevention to him becomes not to important a subject as it la to us Take the manufacturer for In stance, the only thought in mind Is the maximum production and with his Ideas ' concentrated in that channel, he often produces addi tional hazards. Some of our early day writers have mentioned that fire control is man's best friend but that fire uncontrolled, is man's worst ene my.

" The partially preventable ' causes of fires are usually considered as fol lows: Electricity, exposure, explos ions, conflagrations, sparks from machinery friction, ' flying sparks from chimneys, incendiarism, lightnings and spontaneous com bustion. Also at this time, desire to call your attention to the Berke ley, California fire, which happen ed about a year ago was started from a brush fire on the outskirts of the town, started several build ings going and then, with the aid of shingle roofs, frame buildings and poor water supply, spread from one building to another until block after block had been levelled. Berkeley was the latest large fire of this kind, but there have been many other conflagrations of this kind and there will be more. I A word about fire Insurance pol icy. The fire insurance policy is not an insurance policy but a con tract of Indemnity, and, therefore, no assured should profit from a fire insurance policy. Its sole purpose . is to replace oniy mac which haa been destroyed by fire, and the question often arises, who pays the fire loss?
