(UP) -- The business depression is showing itself in the fire losses of American cities, according to Dr. L. C. Johnson, fire director of Kansas City, and has increased one type of fire. This is the incendiary blaze which "smoke eaters" had dubbed the "firefiction fire." Incendiary fires in Kansas City were 13 times as great in their damage last year as they were in 1931, Dr. Johnson reported. In 1931 they amounted to $712,300, or 42 per cent of the total fire losses. Some of these were set down to fire insurance companies, directly on owners of buildings who saw a good chance of collect insurance. The friction fire, according to Dr. Johnson, was given its name by "the friction of a $10,000 stock of goods rubbing against a $40,000 fire insurance policy." The result is a blaze which the depression-harried storekeeper deliberately plans in order to recount his business losses.
