The latter. combination of pennies and fuses, is dangerous and might re- sult in a fire that would destroy your property. G. M. Houren, chief of the Win- netka fire department, on one of his recent rounds of inspection in the busi- ness district of the Village, came upon a case wherein pennies had been used in the manner just mentioned. He says that he {frequently finds pennies in fuses, and is constantly warning against the practice. Chief Houren says he finds that peo- ple do not appreciate the danger of the practice, and they do not have to be warned the second time against it. For the reason that there may be many who are not aware that the electric light fuse is not a safe place for pennies, in more ways than one, this warning by Chief Houren is given.
