Mjgrcater in proportion to the population 13 than thnt in most of the stales." I j ! This rather startliug statement is g;j!mailo in a bulletin recently issued by M I Harvey Wells, state insurance eotnmis M sioner. tJ' Soon after taking charge of this de- H pertinent, lnfornmtion was place.! he- t vi. wn.. ti.,,1 t,;,., 1...1:...-.. j that the alarming inereiise in fires t cnnltl Ita stunned, if the nnhlic whs I properly informed, especially regarding the prevention of fires. With this in mind, the "Fire Preven tion Bulletin" was issued by Mr. Wells in which fire prevention is discussed from all sides. In. Oregon alone, for the year of 1914, the fire loss was over "$4,000,000. From information so-, snred by the 6tatc insurauce coiuuiis sioner the largo fire waste in Oregon during the lust year was duo to five, causes: First: Poor construction. Second: Great carelessness. Third: Lack of individual responsi bility. " Fourth: Lack of popular education in fire prevention. Fifth: Too much relative attention to fire fighting, as compared to fire prevention. As a start in the right direction, Mr. Wells favors A state fire marshal law, and in connection with this law, there should be fire prevention associations, with influential .business men as offi cers. The duty of this organization should be to enforce ordinances gov erning flues, electric wiring and pro viding added restrictions looking to the lessening of criminal fire waste. .j 1 1 uu ('uiiint-Lireiuiier i ui uie opinion M 1 that a donartment known ns "Fire Pro- venters" might also- be a good institu tion, as woll as a- fire department for the extinguishing of fires. A man at the head of this- department might make a careful study of every fire, a '.id aid in tho investigation of alleged arson eases. Kven the Credit Men's associ ation . of Orogon, who have much in side information regarding fires, are endeavoring to create a state fire mar shall, who shall make., it is duty to in vestigate every fire. .-i.

Mr. Wells suggests that the lamp should be .entirely denned out occasionally, and when two thirds of the oil is used, it. should bo turned back in the oil can through a piece of cloth to filter it clean. More than half the fires caused by spontaneous combustion originate from greasy rags. Cotton rags, assisted by scraps of silk, with alive or cottonseed oil, make a hot fire. Many fires occur in burns from hay or alfalfa, stored before it is ported ly dry, as the pres ence of moisture is always necessary lor spontaneous comliusion. Mr. Wells also notes that bonfires are a frequent cause of fire losses.

CAUSE OF SUICIDE lering ashes and curries the embers to some nearby building or to some in flainablo material. Rats and matches are also noted by tho commissioner ns a frequent cuuse of fires. Jt is a pretty hard proposition, to attempt to eliminate the rut but care can be taken to keep matches in a tin Hint ii box. When there is a firn in tho home, he makes tho following suggestions: Get a ladder so that water can bo carried to put on the roof where the tiro is located. Besides Hie convenient lad der, there should always be standing in farm houses, a bucket of water. Jf the blaze is just starting, thrtw wator on the material that is burning, not the blaze. A bucket of water will dc more good if thrown little at a time. Another suggestion: Small fires may be smothered by a rug or carpet, or even with a wet broom. Fires that start from kerosene should be smoth ered, as water spreads the flames. Every school child should know how to turn in a lire alarm at the fire box es. The instructions for tho ordinary fire box is as follows: Turn the handle to the right, open the door, and pull hook dowa all the way and let go. Then wait until thu firemen come so ns to direct them to the fire. The commissioner also suggests fire drills for scnools, factories and other places where people congregate. Fire drills should be held in school at least once a week.
