Notwithstanding the fact that fig
tires that make up statistics are us-

your indulgence for a few moments
while I quote some statistics concern-
ing preventable fires in our own State
in order that we may more iuu au
preciate and understand the momen-
tous work that may be undertaken
in. behalf of fire prevention. Between
December 10 1910 and November 3
115 there were reported to the
State Firo Marshall 20239-fires due
to known causes which occurred in
private dwellings apartment houses
"boarding houses and private out-
houses. Of this number 17374 were
classed as "preventable." During the

While it is true that gasolene has
cot caused the largest number or
fires yet in the destructiveness of the
fires which it has caused and the
loss of life that these fires have en-
tailed it stands among the first of
our dreaded fire agencies. Most
housewives would throw up their
hands in holy horror were they to
see their children playing with a
loaded gun or kicking about a stick

OF MUSICAL
Federation there wag a general
discussion of the proposal to organ-
ize the musical club federation. A
committee from the T. F W. C con-
sisting of Mrs. J C. Terrell of Fort
Worth. Mrs. Fred Fleming of Dal-
las and Mrs; Bacon Saunders of Fort
Worth met with the delegates from
the musical clubs and discussed-all
the phases of the organization and
the relations which are to exist be-
tween the musical department and
the T. F. W. C. It was tentatively
agreed that the musical organization
Is to appoinf. a committee to. present
the general- organization plan to the
executive board of the Texas Federa-
tion of Women's Clubs In order that
there may be no friction between the
purposes and workings of the two or
ganizations.
The department adopted Constitu-
tion and By-Laws which will appear
in Sunday's Bulletin.
It is one of the purposes of the
Musical Department to provide the
annual Fine Arts .programs at the
conventions of the Texas Federation
of Women's Clubs. This detail how-
ever with many others is yet to be
worked out by the new department.
There was considerable discussioa
this morning of the question of hold-
ing meetings coincident with those o
the Texas Federation of Women's
Clubs and the constitution as adopted
after much discussion leaves this im-
portant mutter to the discretion of
the Executive Board.
The relation of the new department
with the parent organization is not
definitely determined further than
that there will be no conflict or fric-
tion. and that the Musical" Federation
will be but a component part of the
parent organization except as to the
management of its own peculiar af-
fairs.
