INSPECTORS LIKE OMAHA
METHODS OF PROTECTION
ar that They Will Apply the Rales
In Force Here to Other
Cities.
The meeting of the Western Association
6f Electrical Inspectors Just closed in
Omaha resulted In a movement to spread
to a number of other cities a principal of
house protection thi has been in use here.
"It Is one of the rules of our Inspectors,"
ays City Electrician Mlchaelsen. "that In
all tiled rooms and in all bath rooms
where there are ground connections the
fixtures must have ground wires. This Is
a precaution against the chance that the
fixtures may become charged, and when
they do a person with wet hands or touch
ing the fixture with one hand and a pipe
or faucet with another part of the body
would be liable to get a heavy shock. The
ground wire, however, will always carry
off the charge before It can do any dam
age. The Western association discussed
this precaution, and as a result it probably
will be made a part of the rules In a great
many other cities that do not have it now."

EFFORTTOREDUCE FIRE RISK
Insurance Committee of Commercial
Clnb Has Another Meeting.
ASKS FOR EXPERT ADVICE
Experts Tell of Some Things Which
Might Be Changed to Remedy
Some of the Existing
Evils.
The Insurance committee of the Com
mercial club has taken up the question of
fire losses and rates In Omaha in deadly
earnest and has complied some figures
which are startling.
"To begin with," says the committee,
"let us remember that the annual fire
waste in the United States Is something
like $3M,OU0,0O0, or enough to build a
Panama canal every twelve months; that
this, reduced, represents a fire loss of W0
a minute, or 13.30 per capita for the United
States, as against a range of to cents to
SSH cents in Europe,
"Here In Omaha the per capita tax for
tire protection is 2, much higher than most
other places in the United States. .
"In Insurance, as in the payment of
freight rates, the ultimate consumer pays
the bill, and it might be well for those
who are trying to solve the problem of
the high cost of living to Include In their
calculations the enormous tax on every
man, woman and child caused by careless
ness and negligence and the unavoidable
sources that make this fire loss possible."
"The insurance committee knows that it
has g big task before it, but It believes It
has the backing and Interest of not only
business men, but of every citizen of
Omaha in bringing about an Improved con
dition pertaining to fire losses, whether
this be with respect to losses by water and
smoke, Inspection laws. Inadequate equip
ment or otherwise."
The insurance committee held another
meeting Friday and J. R. Rahm, the chair
man had secured the presence of A. Q.
Beeson, fire Inspector of Nebraska, and E.
R. Townsend of Chicago a national author
ity on fire insurance matters. The confer
ence was for the purpose of learning
Omaha ratings and the advantages and
disabilities thereof on an insurance basis.
Mr. Townsend sharply erltinized the city
for allowing frame additions to brick
buildings In the business district within
fire limits. He also named seveial other
conditions which he said ought to be
promptly remedied suggesting more fre
quent inspection of buildings, among other
things.
Oscar Allen, E. M. Andreesen, M. F.
Funkhouser, F. P. Klrkendall, I. W. Car
penter and H. E. Palmer were also at
the conference.

You Can Feel
Your Eczema Heal

"Enema on the head and scalp isva
Common occurrence of a most Common
disease, and It is to be regretted that mo.tt
remedies for ecxema which produce cureu

"The new drug qulntone Is different

"A ecxema on the scalp causes annoy

THIRTY FARMERS COMPLAIN
Complaining Residents Hottril Ttlar
l.lrenae am hers for Front and
Hear of .Mnehlnea Motor,
eyrie Men on Watch.
Complaints made to the Board of County
Commlslonrrs by about thirty farmers liv
ing on the country rond leading Into
Omaha, when the board met as a com
mittee of the whole yesterday afternoon,
led to a decision to have the sheriffs of
fice patrol the roads In search of auto
mobile speed law violators at frequent In
tervals, and arrest all men driving cars In
violation of the law.
Driven almost to desperation by the al
leged speeders, the farmers waited on the
board In a body nnd declared that some
thing must be done to protect them. They
fald that the sight of an automobile dash
ing along the road at a rate of thirty-five
or forty miles an hour Is a common one.
They suggested that automobile owners be
required to carry larger numbers on their
cars and carry thetn on the front as well
as on the rear of their cars. The board
members explained that the board has no
power to require this, and, further, that
owners of machines cannot be punished for
speeding unless It can be shown that they
themselves violated the law. This makes
prosecution difficult, as it Is easy for an
owner to make the defense that someone
else was operating his car when it exceeded
the speed limit.
It was agreed that the only way to Btop
the speeding practice is to station sher
iff's with motorcycles on the roads. TJie
motorcycles will he equipped with speedo
meters. Deputy Sheriff Foster was called
down to the committee room and ordered
to have the roads patrolled. The farmers
went away satisfied.
Among those who made complaints
were: H. C. Gllssman, Wm. Jensen, West
Center; II, Avery, West Leavenworth
street; C. and John Bull, Elkhorn; J. Arm
brust, Millard; Henry Krure, Benson.
