In view of the many disastrous
fires throughout Texas and other
states, it is not untimely to call at-
tention to some things that could be
done and should be done, in order to
reduce fire risks. An ounce of pre-
vention is said to be worth a pound
of cure. A little precaution may save
thousands of dollars in fire loss. State
fire marshals agree that 80 per cent
o'f the fires are from preventable
causes. Fire losses in the United
States and Canada during the first
two months of 1916 were $46,194,000 1
as compared to $33,491,850 for the
same months of 1915. Information
given out by T. R. Weddell, secretary
of the national committee on Welfare
and Education, is to the effect that
losses throughout the South for the
first quarter this year is $13,000,000
in excess of the previous year.
Here are some things you can do to
prevent fires:
Keep waste paper, packing material
and rubbish cleaned up, and remove
from building at least daily.
Make frequent personal inspections
from a fire standpoint.
Instruct and drill employes on what
to do in case of fire.
Be careful about the use oi match-
es.
Put up “No Smoking Signs,” espe-
cially in hazardous sections.
Locate your nearest fire alarm box
and learn how to turn in an alarm.
See that your electric wiring is
standard and be careful in the use of
electrical devices.
Have all smoke pipes and chimneys
inspected and repaired by a compe-
tent person before starting fires for
the winter.
Keep gasoline in safety cans and
in a safe place.
Keep water barrels and pails filled
and extinguishers charged.
Use only safe floor oils and sweep-
ing compounds.
Feel your personal responsibility
for possible loss of life and property
by fire and act accordingly.
These are the things not to do to
prevent fires:
Don’t put ashes in other than metal
receptacles, and don’t dump them
where they will come in contact with
combustile materials.
Don’t hang electric light cords on

Washington, March 28.—The immi-

Don’t use sawdust in spittoons or

Don’t throw away lighted matches,

Don't use insecticides or liquid pol-

Washington, March 28—The house
Monday expunged from the Congres-
sional Record the “vituperative and
denunciatory” language inserted un-
der the leave to print privilege by
Representative Davis of Texas in a
speech on Texas politics.
‘Amen,’’ chorused the house as the
vote was taken.
Representative Davis is accustomed
to sprinkle all the debates with
“amens.”
ASKS CONGRESS INVESTIGATE
RISE IN PRINT PAPER PRICES
By Associated Press
Washington, March 28.—A resolu-
tion for an investigation of the news
print paper situation by the depart-
ment of commerce was introduced in
the house by Representative Copley
of Illinois. Much of the supply of raw
material for print paper that came
from Germany, Norway and Sweden
was cut off by the war. Other mate-
rial is being shipped from this coun-
try for Europe for use in the manu-
facture of munitions, the resolution
says. An opinion is asked on the ad-
visability of placing an embargo on
raw material.
According to Copley the price of
paper had advanced so far that the
lives of many small newspapers are
threatened.
By Associated Press
Berlin, March 28.—The Berliner
Tageblatt prints a letter from its cor-
respondent at Varna, the chief naval
port of Bulgaria on the Black Sea, in
which he says the Bulgarian troop.;
stationed there are commanded by a
German general and lieutenant colo-
nel; and a German naval officer is
also attached to the small Bulgarian
navy that has its home station at
Varna.
“Here in Varna,” he writes, “I have
seen what the Bulgarian is able to ac-
complish by harmoniously co-operat-
ing with the intelligent will of the
German officer. Starting from noth-
ing the Bulgarian navy has created a
well-defended naval port during the
few months since the war began. A
new power that merits respect is here
being created, and the same splendid
spirit for offensive action inspires
both Germans and Bulgarians.”
The immediate task of the little
Bulgarian navy, the correspondent
says, is to operate by means of sub-
marines against the Russian Black
Sea fleet, by hovering about the Rus-
sian ports.

ENCAMPMENT COMMITTEE
EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETS
By Associated Press
Austin, Texas, March 28.—Members
of the locating committee of the Teptas
Epworth League are meeting here to-
day for organization and considera-
tion of proposals made by various
Texas towns and cities for a perman-
ent encampment site of the State
League. Members of this committee
are Dr. T. F. Sessions, Beevllle,
chairman; Allan K. Ragsdale and W.
N. Hagy, San Antonio; Rev. T. S. Bar-
CU8, Fort Worth, and Rev. W. J. John-
son, Longview, Texas.
For twelve years members of the
Epworth League have been holding
their annual encampments at Epworth
by the Sea, a 17-acre stretch of
beach on Corpus Christi bay, immedi-
ately north of the city limits of Cor-
pus Christi. Due to the rapid in-
crease in population of that city and
the growth of its residential section
toward the beach, the site is now in-
cluded in the residential district. The
property was sold last summer for a
cash consideration of $35,000, and al
ready the site is being built up as a
residence district.

ADMIRAL DECLARE8 DO
NOT GET MONEY’S WORTH.
Washington, March 28.—Rear Ad
miral Fiske, former aide for opera-
tions, told the house navy committee
that “inefficient arrangements” in
Washington were responsible for a
loss of 25 per cent in the efficiency el'
the American navy.
“We do not get our money’B worth
now,” said the admiral. He added
♦hat his much-discussed resignation
as chief aid to Secretary Daniels was
brought about because he thought
other officers might have more influ-
ence with the secretary in recogniz-
ing the need for getting the navy in a
state of preparedness.
THE DAILY HERALD 40c A MOUTH
To the Voters of Weatherford.
Three reasons why I am a candi-
date for alderman of Ward No. 1:
First—Mr. Grogan said that he did
not want the office and would not
run for it.
Second—Because I believe I could
and would discharge the duties im-
posed upon me to the best interest
of the people at large.
Third—Because I feel it just and
right to give East Weatherford a
representative, as we have not had
one for-years.
Would say to the voters of \V
erford, should I fail to see all
it is for lack of time, but wilj
elate anything you will do
And should I go down In de$
