He was kept busy all this morning visit ing the premises of residents who, impressed by his address, con tern plate immediate improvement. He saw some yards and lawns of fine possibilities, and gave ideas for thar improvement through the employ ment of flowers, shrubbery and trees, The lecturer stated in his address that city beautification is ono of the things that no community should ne frlect. The impression upon the vis itor must be taken into consideration, He talked of parks, well-kept lawns, attractive environments for railroad depots, manufactories and the like, I l.t . . m . . aener-Kepi cemeteries and tne un sightly billboard. A flower plat or a srrass plat, properly planted and kept, should be stuck in at every available and appropriate place, he "M. He contrasted ill-kewt nrem- es with those whose owners had gone to some pains and small expense to improve them. vSome of the elides of "before and after" scenes were startling.

Ordinances Passed and Being Enforced Controlling Smoking and Throw. ing Avsay Lighted ' Matches, ' Cigar and Cigarette la ' ' ' Publlo Buildings. '. ' - . New York City is making rapid progress In Ore prevention work under the leadership of the fire prevention department of the city government For some time an ordinance has been enforced forbidding smoking In loft blilldlngs Ot hazardous occupancy, be cause of the numnrous fires resulting In loss ot life duo to smoking. This has been Supplemented by a new or dinance prohibiting the throwing away of any lighted matches, cigars or cigarettes in any building or struc ture or In any public conveyance, uq less deposited in a suitable container provided for the reception - thereof. This ordinance, if enforced, will -elimi nate one of the most fruitful causes ot fires. Insurance Post. SOME FOREST DONT'S. Don't forget that carelessness causes , fires; precaution prevents them Don't throw burning matches or to- ' ' bacco where there is Inflam mable material. Don'B build (larger camp fires than . necessary. Don't build fires against trees,.,stumps or large or hollow logs. Don't build fires In leaves, rotten wood; or other places where they are likely to spread Build them on mineral soil, by first scraping away the leaves and decayed vegetation. Dont fall to extinguish COMPLETE LY all fires before leaving, even for a short time. Dont build fires (o clear land, without taking every possible precau Uon against their spreading. DEFINING PYROMANIA. Pyromanla (fire, madness) is a eymp torn rather than a distinct form of in sanity, but In many cases in which ti occurs It Is the first evidence -ot men tal derangement. It Is difficult to con vict such a person, because no motive for the act of burning can be shown and he may exhibit no other symptoms hich suggest a malady of the mind Later, other marked symptoms of mania, develop. .mAkipg the disease un mifrtakable; but iii the Interval he'maj set a number of "fires: However, he oftener than any their incendiary Is seen while committing the. act, for he has at the time no fear of punishment. The pyromanlac Is seized by an im peratlve desire to burn. While undei this Irresistible impulse he has no ap preciation of the fact that his act, will Injure others and may result in pun ishment to himself. This propensity" of the insane it most likely , to develop In the lilcur able classes of the insane, and in the imbecile, and sometimes is seen In those suffering from epilepsy and paresis. There never comes a time when it Is safe to society for one who has once had an Irresistible Impulse to incendiarism to be at large. The increase In the number of thlt class of burners in proportion to popu lation has been and will be greater each yearvbecaus the increase of the Insane population ! is proportionate!; greater than that Of the sane. Fire Marshal B. B. Buckley. SAVING LIFE AND PROP ERTY. - It is remarkable how much has been accomplished In the last dozen yea re in the way of reducing the number ol fatal and other Injuries due to the us ot fireworks and other 'means of hols? production and display on the Fourth of July. Since the inauguration ot the: "Safe and Sane" idea in connec tion with the celebration of lndepend ence Day, the sacrlfic of life hac dwindled from -463 to 1909 tq" 30 In 1915, while non-fatal . acccidenta have been reduced in number, from 3,983 In 1903 (5460 In 190S) .to UJ5 in 1915 This saving of Ufa and suffering hat surely justified the-efforts of the Na tlonei Fire Protect fcn Association, tht Safety -First Federation of Amerlc and other bodies In the direction lndl cated- The Spectator. , TEH COMMANDMENTS OF SOCIAL f Insurance Is an old business, but !

In the days ot Abraham, 2285-2241 B. C, Hammurabi, king of Babylon promulgated a law that those guilt) of arson or incendiarism should b thrown into the fire. In the 2 2d chap ter of Exodus and 6th verse the grea lawgiver, Moses, caught hold of tht same Idea and wrote as follows: "It fire break out, and catch in thorm (dry grass, piles of refuse and rub blsh) so that the stacks of corn, oi the standing corn, or the field, be con sumed therewith, he that kindleth th fire (through carelessness or an) other means) shall surely make rest! tutlon." Some clear ideas as to per sonal liability were evidently enter talned by the ancient lawmaker! which their modern successors would do, well to cultivate. Fire Facts. INSPECTION OF FIRE RISKS.
