The forty million dollar Balti- more fire was due to a careless smoker, The five million dollar Berke- ley fire originated from burning brush. The million dollar Nashville fire grew out of a small boy’s carelessness. The seven million dollar Paris, Texas, fire was caused by a lo- comotive spark, The three ion dollar “Bur- lington” fire in Chicago came from spontaneous combustion. The great Chicago fire started from an overturned lamp. The Collinwood Schoolhouse Fire in which 174 children and i] two teachers lost their lives started from a steam-pipe in con- tact with a wood floor. The Peabody school fire in which 21 little children died was if due to a pile of rubbish. 4 The Cleveland, South Carolina, school fire in 1923, in which 76 persons lost their lives, was due to an improperly protected lamp.

Y. The job is to keep the course clear for the contending craft and to prevent the multitude of steam yachts, sailing boats, excursion steamers, row boats and motor launches that crowd in. Supplementing the guard’s patrol boats, the regatta committees usually supply launches which unfurl a Coast Guard flag and carry a Coast Guard officer to enforce order.

ASK RECESS BE RESTORED Mothers Demand Return of | Old Schedule Providing Recreation Period Protests from mothers of children in the seventh and eighth grad over the abandonment of reces are being heard daily. Many moth- ers who have discussed the subject with a Tribune representative are strongly in favor of the old plan, Without a recess the children are confined to their class room steadily for three hours each morning and three and one-half hours each after- noon. The five minute break be- tween classes, common in junior high schools in other cities, is denied students xt the Will school where one group of students is instructed in the same class room throughout the day as in the grade schools. Need Recess Children of ten, eleven and twelve years, the average age of the junior high student, need the short break in routine that a recess affords is the opinion of most of the women. The break permits the children to attend to physical functions and re- fresh their bodies and minds with a few minutes exercise. Miss Mary Huber, junior high principal, announced today that the present schedule was satisfactory to the faculty and that it would prob- ably be continued throughout the term.
