NUMEROUS FIRES
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 15. Viewing
actual photographs of scores of flro
hazards, arranged on lantorn slides,
and what romalns of numerous "flro
proofs" nnd "flroloss" buildings nnd
equipment, a largo audlonco listen
ed to J, H. Stevens, former fireman
and now manager of tho Pacific Flro
Prevention Durcau, talked on flro
prevention horo recently.
Stevens asked that tbo business
men get bohlnd Flro Chief Loyal
Mooro and bolp htm reduce tho fire
hazards In tho city.
He warned the business men that
there Is something radically wrong
with Sacramento it the city baa as
many flros as aro reported, and said
while ho did not havo tbo time to go
around and put his fingers on the
axact causes, It Is up to tho peoplo to
seo that tho proper firemen do.
Stevens stated that there was no
such thing as a "flro-proot" build
tng and he offered to go into any
homo or building In tho city and
point out flro hazards existing thero
that aro waiting only for tho
proper elements to corablno to burst
Into flamo.
Tho most common hazard flro de
partments are called upon to rem
edy, he said, Is tho habit many
people, havo of wrapping the electric
light cord around a bod post so
thoy can aoo well to 'read boforo
going to sleep at night. Tho thin
covering of the cord wears through
and coming In contact with outside
material causes any number of
fires.
Ho warned his hoarers against
"fixing" their electric light troubles
themselyos. "Many a man thinks be
Is pretty smart tiecauso' hecan go
to the fuse box when tbo lights
In his bouso go out and put In a
little piece of copper wlro or some
thing and mako the lights go on
again," said tho speaker. "Out soma
day tbo same thing that cauiod the
fuso to blow out in tho first place
wilt occur again and this time there
will bo serious trouble.
"Fuses aro specially made to act
as firemen while householders sleep.
nnd If trouble occurs they blow out.
However, If a substitution has btftn
made of a wire of your own manufac
ture It can't burn out and. then tbo
flro will begin."

LONDON, Doc. 29. (Dy Mall)
Labor leaders aro domandlng urgent
legislation to solve In soma way the
problem of unemployment in Great
Britain. Warnings havo been given
of a sorlous social or industrial up
heaval, of some kind of startling
"direct action" unless the British
government acts promptly.
"If nothing Is" don wlthln'the next
six weeks," said J. -R. dynes', mem
bor of' parliament the 'other day -to
Dr. JIacnamara, the minister of la
bor, In thtCioni of a jdlcaIon
with labor leaders, ''a situation may
develop thatwwUl threaten the life
of thejtato Itsolf."
Thoro la said to bo an ugly temper
among many of the 1,000,000 or
more unemployed ovor what they re
gard as dllatorlness on tho part of
local and governmental authorities
In taking steps to meet the situation
adequately. About 100,000 of these
Idlo men are In London.
Homeless and destitute, they havo
seized about 30 suburban public li
braries, baths andr assembly balls.
From somo of these- they- havo boon
forcibly ejectod. by the poltco and
this has. caused mora ilL-fcellng.
Delegates fromiemployod commit
tees In. a score ot London bor
oughs, havo recently, formed a cen
tral, council; wMch. U holding secret
meetings at. which-''direct action" Is
planned.
What.fonn.thla "direct action" will
take Is not divulged by the leaders,
who. proclaimztheir- Intention to act
Independently- ot the labor party or
trades uniens: bujt Dennis Jonnett,
the'.chalrman.ot, the committee, told
Tho Aasoclatedt Press reprosontatlvo
they will bo- of. a startling nature.
"Seventy-fivo percent ot tho Lon
don unemployed are ex-servtco men,"
Jonnett. said. "We are. not out tor
loot, but wo want work provided at
once. Deputations to cabinet minis
ters result In vague promises and
don't help us. Relieving acute dis
tress Is by no means our full pro
gram. Wo want to reshape tho rela
tions botwoen capital and labor.
Workera of all trades must be ad
mitted to control of ontorprlscs. We
propose to make this our main Issue,
nnd get all workers to adopt thts
Idea. This, we roallzo, Is not attain
able without a hard fight, and wo nro
certain thero will be a big social up
heaval this winter."

Cats and Dogs
War Degenerates
(By Associated Press.)
BUDAPEST, Dec. 26 (By Mall)
Even tho cats and dogs ot central
Europe have degenerated as a re
sult of tho war, says Professor Dal
kanyl, director ot the veterinary
school here, who Is Investigating
how tbo habits ot domestlo animals
have been Influenced by that cause.
Most of the town-bred cats in this
part ot tho world retuso to drink
milk because it Is unknown to thorn,
due to tho lack of milk during tho
war, tbo professor asserts.
"Both cats and dogs are relaps
ing to tho savago ways jot Jhelr un
tamed ancestors, ho says. "Tho
vagrancy of dogs Is startling." Pot
dogs elopo from heart-broken mla
trosscs, Joining packs of many vll
lago dogs, whore tboy live in com
munist equality."
The same authority says that,
besides hydrophobia, nervous dis
eases aro froquont among animals.
I am afraid domestic animals in
eastern Europe are degenerating and
tho stock must bo repllshod from
overseas. .
