serious consequences wrought thru
the near proximity of gasoline and
lighted cigarettes, but when a horse's
tail enters the train of incidents, the
effect apparently is overwhelming,
judging from the story received from
Evanston, 111.
There, a milk truck driver, smok
ing a cigarette, parked in the dairy
yard to refill the gasoline tank. Fuel
overflowed on the ground at the mo
ment he flicked ashes from his cig
arette. Instantly, the gasoline flared
up and ignited his coat, which, in
hastily removing, he threw on the
tail of one of 12 horses in a nearby
barn. This annoyed the animal so
that he switched his burning tail,
tossing the flaming coat onto a pile
cf hay.
Result: A policeman managed to
lead out the frightened horses but
the fire loss included the barn, five
trucks and some wagons; damage,
$10,000. The National Board of Fire
Underwriters estimates that careless
use of matches and smoking caus
ed fire losses of over $29,000,000
in 1927, while petroleum and Its
products resulted in losses of more
than $12,500,000. It is well to treat
these products with due care.
