Chile has advanced with such rapid strides that today it stands well up on the list of important countries in the western hemisphere. To the mother country—Spain—Chile bears very much the same relationship that the United States does to England; in fact, they have the same manners, customs and language. But in some of the laws Chile is! different from other countries. And| in one law in particular Chile holds & unique distinction. This is the law regarding fires. For! in Chile the danger from a fire does not end with getting burned your- self or having all your household goods and treasures destroyed. ‘As in France, a man is guilty of a crime until is proved innocent, 0. in Chile & man is considered guilty of having set his house on fire until he proves he had nothing whatever to_do with it. 4 For when a fire occurs the owner or occupant of the burned buildi; is promptly arrested and.brought be. fore ‘a court of law. There, legally aking, “the burden of proof is on him* until he convinces the court he is guiltles: Needless to say, there are very few “fire sales” in Chile and such a thi as a joke about a fire ia never heard. The satisfaction of a large settle- ment from an insurance company is of little comfort in Chile. It is not only: personal loss which is suffered, but real embarrassment in publicly appearing and proving yourself inno- cent of having set your own house on fire. | | | Man of He Knew Her.
