I There was an intcrc"tinp meeting

.it the home of Mrs. S. D. Brook*.
! There was a Rood representation of
clubs and other organisations, whose

Itiou of the wealiieiiuar., we arc ex-
pecting to see Norman's parks, lawns,
gardens and waste places things of
I beauty and a joy—if not forever, at
, least until late autumn time.
The fly problem is receiving the
J immediate attention of the club, as
"an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" never had a truer ap-
j plication than in this worrisome ques-
j tion. It was decided to have one more
meeting the first Monday in June, and
| it is hoped that all members, and anv
j others who are interested in making
Norman an ideal city will plan to be

Personal responsibility for the ef-
fects of a Ore originating on one's
own premises is likely to be enforced
by law within 'he noxt few years la
Uie United btates, as it has been for
many years in European countries, if
the efforts of those active in lire pre-
vention work are successful, says the
New Vork Spectator. New York City
authorities, in particular, are aiming,
as a first step in this direction, to se-
cure the enactment of a statute im-
posing upon the owners or occupants
of properties in which fires originate,
after such parties have been notified
to remove hazards existing in their
premises, the burden of the cost of
fighting such fires, which has hereto-
fore been a general charge against tiio
city as a whole. Tlie theory upon
which this endeavor is based is that
most fires are due to carelessness on
the part of occupants of the proper-
ties In which fires start; and the de-
sign is to produce, if po; lible, a con-
siderable decrease in the number of
fires by imposing a penalty upon those
to whose carelessuess fires are due.
An extension of this idea of personal
responsibility, making the occupants
of ^premises where fires originate lia-
ble for damage to neighboring proper-
ties, following the European system,
may later be pressed in the Legisla-
ture. If these /dans succeed and are
found praiti ble in r tng the fire
waste in New Vork, similar action
may be anticipated in ■ her States,
so that ulUOiidely the • < of the
whole country may t)e ; i eatly di-
minished.— The Chronic h .

No raiment In the campaign
against lire was'.e of ti . i nited States
has been more effective tlian the com-
parison of the fire losses here and In
foreign countries. The fact that tlie
foreign losses have been about one-
tenth of those in this country has
opened the eyes of the people to the
impoi !ar , " ' ct! n,
strictly-enforced laws and a sense of
individual responsibility for fires.
The difference between America and
Europe in this matter was well put
by the Hon. Robert Stone of Topeka,
Kan., in a recent address before the
business men of that city. He said:
"We are a nation 'of money makers,
Europe Is a nation of money savers.
We are a people of waste, they are a
people of thrift. We figure that the
most important thing is to make a
dollar, and they that it is of equal
importance to save one. This is evi-
denced in our hurried construction of
inflammable buildings, and in their
slow and solid masonry; in our will-
ingness to pay a high rate of fire
insurance with the attendant risk, and
their insistence on a low rate and un-
ceasing care; in our elaborate fixtures
for the putting out of fires and their
precaution in presenting fires. We
regard a fire as a misfortune and sym-
pathize with the man who lias had
one; they regard fire as a crime and
investigate and punish the man who
is guilty. Our temperament is also
shown by the different view we take
of an Insurance policy. Here, if our
property is insured and we have a fire,
we do not count it as a loss; simply
that we have transferred the loss to
other and distant shoulders. There,
the insurance is regarded as a tax,
which is ultimately borne by every-
one. Here, we regard insurance as a
gamble, and if there is a fire the in-
surance company has lost the bet.
There, it is regarded as a means of
reducing the loss to a certainty and is
borne by the whole community. Here,
we figure that the insurance company
restores the lo3s; they, that It merely
indemnities the owner for a loss which
can neVer be restored. We endeavor to
extinguish the fire, they labor to pre
Tent it. We are losing a fortune ev-
ery year, they are saving one."

A burned city does not replace it-
self.
Fire insurance dof not replace lost
property.
Food, clothing and shelter are pro-
duced only by human effort: hence
labor expended in replacing waste is
withdrawn from legitimate producing
for the satisfaction of human needs.
National waste impoverishes the Na-
tion, as family waste impoverishes
the household.
Tlie fire waste Is not really paid for
by insurance companies Fire insur-
ance is added by ■ inmifartiirers :'nd
merchants to the cost of the goods,
and whoever buys a loaf of bread, a
hat, a coat, or shoes, pays It. The cost
of the fire Is concealed in the price
of the goods. Every fire is paid for
by all the people. Insurance is col-
lected from all and paid to him who
has a lire; hence the man who has a
