Dineen of the fire de partment urges Omaha to observe simple precautions against fire dur ing Christmas season. "The Christmas tree is an old and beautiful symbol," the chief said, “and one that we all wish to see preserved. But is becomes nonetheless attrac tive when it is made safe, and it can not even approach safety when it is decked with lighted candles. If the tree must he illuminated, colored elec tric lights arc more ornamental, and. if properly rigged, safer. Of course, a bright electric light focused on the tree, in a darkened room, is a safe method and gives, perhaps, the most striking effect." "It is not only on the tree, however, that randies are dangerous," con tinues the chief. "Placing them in windows, where there are inflam mable curtains and decorations, is extremely hazardous. It is a pretty custom, though, and I suggest, there fore, a safe way for those who wish to continue it. Ret them purchase an electric candle, operated by a small dry-cell battery." The chief would avoid toys re , qulrlng alcohol, gasoline or kerosene for their operation, and also flimsy motion picture machine* using in flammable films. ■ JEWISH CHANUKAH STARTS SUNDAY Omaha .Tews will celebrate the I »ight day feast of Chanukah, starting I Sunday night.
