During the week which ended June 20, which might be considered the first generally full week of the summer vacation period, the fire losses on school buildings through out the country is totaled at $305,- 000. These figures Illustrate very plainly the reason the warnings sent out by the North Carolina In surance Department for several weeks prior to the time of the clos ing of the schools for the summer months. It urged careful inspec tion and a general clean-up of all buildings. It asked that closets be freed of all rubbish, and especially of oily rag* and mops whi?h are so carelessly put away in closets and dark corners only to reach the stage of spontaneous combustion and start a fire which will result in losses of hundreds and thousands of dollars. A significant comparison is here fflyen to illustrate the error of the belief of so many that school buildings do not burn during the vacation months, when it is brought out that the losses in the lumoer fires, one of the most hazardous forms of risks, amountod to $330,- 000 for the same period of time.

"Our armies need food; dop't let it burn I" is the slogan adopted by the Conservation Association ol Michigan recently, and it might well be adopted as the slogan of every association and of every in dividual in the country at this time, vast numbers of association* and Government agencies throughout the country are urging every hour the growing and conservation ol food stuffs. The earl.) reports from the Department of Agriculture in dicate an enormous yield lor the year. Hut planting and raiHirig the crops will riot suffice. Every care must bu exercised toward tne pre vention and . destruction of the food after it hhas been made anu housed. Just a few days ago a grain ele vator In Chicago was destroyed oy fire and with it wheat sufficient to make 50,000,000 loaves of bread. Ta king this amount of Oread and esti mating the amount of flour used by bakers in making bread and fig uring by the army quartermaster department's allowance for feeding a soldier, this wheat destroyeu would furnish the necessary bread for the American army now in Franco for five years and two months. These figures are based on the estimate that (len. Persh ing's expedition is composed of Ift,- 000 men, which estimate Is arrived at from newspaper report* concerning the army movements.
