FIRES FORECAST BT ACTUARIES Experts Predict With Accu racy Where and When They Will Happen. New York.—What type of fires to j expect In selected months can he fore told with reasonable certainty by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. The board has found that the arson curve reflects not only the ebb and flow of prosperity, but also, with un varying regularity, the closing of the special seasons In certain commod ities. A precise relation between In cendiary fires and industrial seasons ] Is known to exist. With the approach of the Christmas season, the fur manufacturing trade concludes its brief “year," and as the cutting and sewing machines slow down, the number of conflagrations In these shops Increases Inordinately with other months. Sudden Increases in April. Some important sections of the gar ment trades season eml in April, and from the middle of that month, under writers assert, they may expect a sud den increase in calls for fire settle ments. Similarly with the sporting goods manufacturing, and other in dustries whose period of output oecu pies only a portion of the calendar ; year. A trade map of the country warns ! the Insurance man where to expect sectional conflagrations of unusual frequency. This year they are said to center In New England, where the textile industry is below pnr, but the wave also lias touched upstate New York, and in the last two years the finger pointed to Texas, then Georgia and to southern Illinois Some estimates lay ns high as 40 per cent of the S500.000.000 annual Are loss to t'.te hand of the “Are bug.” His work Is marked by death as well as destruction, for of the 15.000 peo ple who perished in flames in the Unit ed States last year, many died in con flagrations of deliberate origin. In William street, which is to In surance what Wall street is to finance and Maiden Lane to gems, there is is sued a monthly chart for the informa tion of underwriters. It shows in parallel columns the fires which have occurred In various trades and the “business embarrassments” noted in the same industries. “What fires are running now?" Is a common inquiry of an insurance agent returning from a short vacation. “Clothing," or “leather goods,” er "trimmings” may be the reply. Adjusters and Investigators have been warned to scrutinize carefully re ports in the trade which, for the time being at least, is known to be under going an extra hazard. Even the weather has a not Incon siderable influence on commercial fires. If summer Ungers, throwing the fall trade sales behind, the fact Is noted bj the underwriters’ loss committee; If the winter la unusually severe, • closer watch Is kept on the spring trades, for straw hats and flimsy dress goods will be retarded on their way to market and the weaker elements of those trades may be pinched. Unasalmllated aliens often are ths blazers of the arson trail. Underwrit ers hold this type responsible for many devastating conflagrations. Although declared to be widespread arson is a difficult crime to prove, and many claims are settled that Juat failedtobrlngji^j^riminalindictmenL^ Army Officers Work for Roll-Collar Coat Washington.—Adoption by the army of coats with roll collars for all branches of the service, as recently authorized for air officers. Is regarded as considerably nearer by many offi cers attached to the War department. It was disclosed that a definite step In this direction has been made by MaJ. Gen. Creed C. Hammond, chief of the military bureau, who has ad dressed circular letters to the adjutant general of all states requesting the views of National Guard officers on the subject. General Hammond entertains no doubt that the majority preference will be for the roll collar. The proponents of the change assert that the present high and tight-fittlug collar Is a source of discomfort that far outweighs the ‘‘military appear ance” ascribed to it as one of its vir tues by those who advocate its reten tion.

Tokyo.—Modern ideas are breaking Into the last stronghold of old custom In Japan, and Miss Geisha, whos* slight body has been the bulwark of tradition, is longing for bobbed hair. So startling is this phenomenon to constituted authority that a polio* edict has been issued In Tokyo that any geisha who appears in public with her coiffure arranged in any hut old style Japanese will forfeit her profes sional license. The blame for the desire of th* geishas is placed upon moving pic tures. Outside geisha ranks girls are dis pensing with old style coiffures. Wait resses are smiling beneath hair smoothed high over huge “rats," in a style known as “harikara.” a word adapted from the phrase “high collar," and signifying “in the latest mode.” Flappers in high schools are bobbing. Housewives have discovered the ad vantages of “buns” tucked in and fa*, tened with hairpins. DON'T FAIL TO READ ANONYMOUS THE MOST REMARKABLE NOVEL OF THE 20TH CENTURY ||t1 REALITY!
