ANNE MAKES AN ENEMY
jpHE dance at IJurkliaHor's was
already In full swing when Anne
and Douglas came In sight of the
ranch-house on the following night.
A riot of motion and color wavered

tho open windows.

Around three sides of the room
was a denso fringe of spectators
for the Jiiost part elderly. At llie

platform, was tho orchestra.
There was something vaguely fa

"Who's SliebV" the latter asked

stammered, llo was aa red as a

Douglas winced. Ills face went

Is It
Your Problem
or Ours?
Suppose the Stock. Fire Insurance com
panies bad not fostered fire prevention.
What then would have been America's
record of loss by fire? Frightful enough it is
in spite of the efforts of the Stock Fire
Insurance companies, working through the
National Board of Fire Underwriters and its
departments of Building Construction,
Public Fire Protection, Engineering, the
Arson Bureau, Underwriters' Laboratories,
and other sources and avenues of activity.
The reduction of the fire waste or the loss
of life by fire was not primarily an insurance
problem. Insurance companies must charge
for insurance on a basis sufficient to cover
losses and operating expenses, regardless of
how reat the losses may be.
s
Therefore viewing the situation from
their selfish interests only they need be no
more concerned than are other industries in
working toward a reduction of the fire waste.
V
For the Public Welfare
However, for the welfare of the country
as a whole the 239 Stock Fire Insurance
companies,.membcrs of the National Board,
voluntarily undertook the task of heading
up the forces opposed to the destruction of
life and property by fire.
The results have been encouraging. People
are building better. Obvious hazards are
being removed. But there is pressing need
for further improvement.
Future progress in this work depends
largely upon the degree of co-operation ex
tended by you and others in the use of
available safety devices and measures, and
in the elimination of the many known
hazards which continue to threaten life and
property.
Inquiries relating to this movement and
to the various services .provided for its ex
tension are invited.
