20 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1925 PICTURES FIRE -._._. oN) | Northwestern Scene of Cook County Tournament The Cook County municipal golf THE GARAGE DANGER IN HOME State Fire Marshal Gives Home-Owners Advice Men will guard closely their places of business against fire hazard, but are nrone to neglect their homes and families against those same dangers, declared John G. Gamber, Illinois state fire marshal, in a talk before the Wil- mette Rotary club this week. "How many homes, for instance," the fire official asked, "have even the precaution of a single fire extin- guisher? Yet statistics show that 80 percent of the victims of fire ravage are women and children--most of them presumably safe in the homes or schools." Mr. Gamber, in citing several great fire catastrophies of the past two de- cades, showed that, in virtually every instance, the deplorable tragedies were attributable to the carelessness of one or a few persons. ] On the subject of oil burning devices for the homes Mr. Gamber, in declar- ing that oil heating has come to stay and would eventually supplant coal for home-heating purposes, added that of the 300 or more oil-heater devices on the market today only about 25 had been approved by the fire underwrit- ers. He cautioned the users of oil championship is being decided at the Northwestern Golf club this week. The first matches are played between various clubs on the north and south sides of Chicago, to determine the north and south side winners who then plav against each other for the Cook County Municipal Golf Championship cup. In a match with the Edgebrook Golf Club last Sunday Dick Skaer, Arthur Boyke, J. S. Marshall, Jr., and Dick Hughes, playing for the North- western Golf club, won with seven points to their opponents' four.

Grades of oils to be used are specified by the underwriters, he said. Every community should enact an - = - - ordinance regulating the installation of oil-heating devices, the marshall declared. Proper installation, and safe storage of oil are important as a safeguard to the home, he said. Oil, if in large quantity, should be stored underground and brought to the heat- ing plant by means of a hand pump, he suggested. It was his opinion that gravity feed was often unsafe. "Look after your furnace in the fall, before you start the fire," was Mr. Gamber's parting advice. "You wouldn't let your car stand idle all winter and drive it away in the spring without first going over it thoroughly. Then why not take the same precaution with the heating system in your home? Autumn brings most of the fires be- cause of failure to inspecting heating systems." 617 and 1834 Gas at Filling Station Prices Greasing $1.50 to $3.00 No labor charges for changing o'l in your crank case or filling transmission and differential with grease.
