Smoking Leads As Fire Cause, Chief Reports Careless smoking continues to be the most frequent cause of fire, according to Fire Chief Paul Am-heiser. This condition exists here in Altoona as well as in all other parts of the United States, he declares.

''For years, the most frequent cause of fire and an avoidable cause it is, too has been careless the chief said today. "We had 137 fires here last year that were directly traceable to smoking, and throughout the nation, according to the National Fire Protection association, there were about similar firs, resulting in damage of about $14,000,000. "Second on the list are fires caused by sparks on roofs. In third position are flres resulting from defective or overheated chimneys and fllues. The fourth major fire cause is defective electrical wiring and equipment.

Spontaneous ignition of fires, while only one-third as frequent as flue and chimney flres, caused nearly as much damage. "It is important to consider these facts now for this is Fire Prevention week. Practically all fires re sulting from these five causes can be prevented. Such nres must ok nvevented if we are to conserve our resources for the national defense program," he concluded. The approximate estimate of the number of fires and losses occur-pinir nnnunllv art made by the Na- tional Fire Protection association from reports of the Fire Marshals of the various states.

Scully's compromise plan to settle a five-day strike of 2,400 hotel service employes was waited today but hopes of early peace still were dim. The Pittsburg Hotels association will give the mayor its decision on the plan at a meeting tomor row. The striking employes of the eight hotels affected flatly turned down the compromise in a week end meeting. The mayor scheduled another session with union lead ers tomorrow.

Meanwhile the Pennsylvania Medical society cancelled its ninety-first convention, scheduled to open tomorrow in the Hotel William Penn.
