Improper building construction. 2. Defective wiring or other improper in- stallation of equipment furnishing heat, power and lights. 3. Careless storage or handling of explosives and inflammable liquids. 4. Handling and use of nitro-cellulose films. 5. Accumulations of trash and rubbish. ‘ 6. Carelessness* with matches and in dis- posing of cigar and cigarette butts. With the exception of the first named, all the eauses of fires may be largely eliminated he or no expense, Summed up, the fact is that at least two-thirds of the fires which destroy more than $500,000,000 worth of property and about 15,000 human lives each year may be traced directly to pure carelessness. Tt ts « terrible price to pay for stupidity and reckless disregard of danger. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN - KEY wesr's LOCATION STRATEGIC "IN NEW , SENSE “Strategic,” so often and so. truthfully ‘ap- plied to the geographical location ‘ef Key Wesi fond new means and new application! last“Sunday when, the newspapers of the world, describing the | run on the 66 branch banks of-the Royal Bank of Canada and the National City Bank. of New York iy Havana and throughout the Island of Cuba, told how a-special train was speeding from .Atlanta, Ga., to Key West, carrying a vast sum of $43,- 600,000 in paper currency. “Other shipments of inoney made a total of $80,000,000-sent’ from the United States for the relief of the financidl situa- tion in the Island Republic, a situation’ attributed th polities in some quarters, and in others’ to the fright of small depositors who withdrew. their sav- ings. fom the branches in Havana,-+Marianao, Vedado, Cerro and other points, 4% Perhaps the financial systeni of ‘the’ United States has never been called upon to, do’a more spectacular thing; and perhaps it has.” In any event | and in many ways history has here written an epic. It thrills one’s imagination to realize that the-fidtion which set Cuba fré¢ in ‘the days not so long ago, is rushing again ‘to its assistance in a finigneial crisis—shipping -vast quantities; of moncy by special train under heavy guard ‘away Off dowr. here at the end of the country where the United States flag lest flies over Americaii soil.: + +. Ametica's warm heart and far-extending arms reaéh forth to help a sister nation in; a eataclysm devoid ot the spectacular, but rich nonetheless in tragedy. Betayse Henry M. Flagler built ~ his marvelous Oversea Extension:into Key. ‘West, which brings 4 America within 90 miles of the:Cuban capi- . tal, it was possible when the eall for assistance came, to send a “Klondike Special” over the East Opast rails to the dockyards here; and with speed and safety gain much time in this rushing of finan- |- cial relief to Cuba. More spectacular still would have been the use of An aeroplane in the last lap of the journey— but safeby often waits on lesser speed. \ THE GOOD CITIZEN AND TREES Very sdon now comes the “week” in which this ta will “Save the Forests.” If only that a piece of work could really be accom- one Week of concentrated effort, how jit would be! For there would be the bddy, loves trees, Everybody knows by little abovt ‘the importance of forests, to a thriving nation. But not every- petsonal responsibility to arly special or ¢houp of trees or to the country's forests, s oF proposed. So the adoption of sound state forestry policies is slow, and a of education is necessary. Ptiucdtion is what national “Save the April 18-24—will help along.
