C. Hoskins, "but penalties for shirkâ€" ing are enormous." "Fire Prevention Week is here again," said the Chief Edw. C. Hosâ€" kinâ€" today,"â€"one week, October 9â€" 16â€"in which most people think and take safety ‘measures that they ought to take every week, every year. "Fire prevention," said the chief, "isn‘t something to be left to exâ€" perts and specialists. Medical exâ€" perts have done a wonderful work in this country in stamping out disâ€" eases like typhoid, small pox, and diptheria, but our country still shows the highest fire loss in the world, Fire fighting is a specialists job, but preventing fires is the duty of every man and woman â€" and every child old er.ough to understand simple warnings." Fires in homes, account for about one third of all fires, which annually exact a toll of some 10,000 human lives and of property destruction in the hundredâ€"millions. And at least 75% of these fires are preventable. Asked what Mr. Average Citizen should do, as his part of this imâ€" perative fire prevention job, Chief Edw. C. Hoskin said, "First, let him realize that the one great cause of fires is carelessness, Then let him check up on his own carelessâ€" ness, in his own home. Here are a few specific things to look for â€" "Start in the cellar, since more than half of the residential fires start there. Remove rubbish and waste paper and all unnecessary combustible materials. "Look ifor oilâ€"soaked or paintâ€" soaked rags or mops.. They cause spontaneous combustion. Keep them in tightly closed metal cans or wash them and hang them out to dry. ©""Look over your heating plant, or have it looked at, and put it into sare, ccamcieuy ~coomuraun ~Lur ser vice this winter. Hazards to look for are chimneys clogged with soot, and parts of furnaces and pipes that heat up too near inflammable maâ€" terials. 5 "Have your electrical system inâ€" spected for possible faults, Most electrical fires start in walls where they gain headway before discovâ€" ery.â€" Throw out all broken connecâ€" tion wires and plugs. Keep a few fuses on hand, always. Don‘t reâ€" ;:i.l“ blown fuses with coins or tinâ€" "If you have matches in the house, be sure they are safety matchesâ€" and keep them out of reach of chilâ€" dren. ~Also, make sure that every match is out before you discard it. "Be eareful in smoking. Always be sure that your cigarette or cigar butt is completely out. Have plenty supply of ash trays on hand. "Part of fire prevention," the chief continued, ‘"is to observe a few don‘ts." Don‘t use gasoline as a cleaning fluid, it‘s more deadly than dynamite. Don‘t leave small children alone in the house. Don‘t leave your electric iron turned on while you go to another room. Don‘t pour witer into a pan of burning Mrs. W. W. Ramsey Speaks at Opening Meeting of D. A.
