Preventing
H Fires
By LORETTO C. LYNCH.
When 'we read over the fire report
at the 'end of the year even the
most conservative among us is apt
to le shocked. ?The loss of prop
erty, not to mention lives, is un
believable. And. the worst of it is
that the majority of these fires orig
inate in our, homes from some pre
ventable, cafise.
And right now. at the beginning
cf the new year, American house
wives should pause for a moment
and consider the possibilities of' fire
in hc home. Take the kitchen;
Each year niore and , more women
arc comings to use gas for cooking,
Ko one should depend on the small
gs cocks for' safety at aU times,
livery woman should see to it that
Jier range is fitted; with either a
lock or a main valve so that the
tipply of gas can be completely
hut off before' going, to bed at
night or when leaving the bouse
untenanted"1 '" ,
Ttciy leaksiv ofteri occur and the
gas collects in' the oven. I unfor
tunately, this sometimes occurs at
night. , Then the housewife, with
out opening the 'door of the oven,
attempts lighting one of the burn
ers. The result is an explosion, a
lire and loss of property or life or
both. 1
Another cause of fire is the wear
ing of a highly inflammable loose
Kuwn, with the' long, flowing
kiinptio sleeves, by a woman ; m
working about her stove. The
semi-fitting 'washable gown, 'with
short sleeves "on the order of the
bungalow apron,, is inexpensive, "de
cidedly more becoming to most wo
men and .a thousand Ter cent Nnore
safe. v ,J- .
The storing of matches in paper
boxes or similar containers is like-
Mice gnawing through paper boxes
containing nfatches and consequent
ly setting fire to. these matches has
been the cause of more than one bad
fire. Therefore store matches in a
tijjhtjy covered tin or gjass con-j
tamer. : , s , '
Another cause of fire is the over-'
heating of fat. or oil. When y6n
are using deep fat for-frying under!
no circumstances Ueave- the room
even for a few , minutes without
taking the paa of fat entirely off
the stove.. A story is told of a
woman who left her kitchen for a
moment, as she thought it would
he. to: answer the telephone in a
neighbor's apartment. She did not
bother taking "the-pan of hot fat i
from the stove, v Over the tele-'
phone she received word of the acj
cidental death of her husband. She
swffoned. In thf excitement which
ensued the neglected fat caught fire.
Jn less than half an hour, from the
time the woman left the Kitchen the.
entire building was in flames.
It may not be clear to every wo
man thgt overheated fat flashes into
flame inside the pan. Of course,
before this happens there are warn
ing clouds of black smoke, but if
no one is present when the warn
ing is sent out, : disastrous results
follow. - , '
If there": arc smokers in the fam
ily he sure to proide-ash receivers.
.-" ." '-e-i: k .- -t
Bad fires sometimes occur because
a careless smoker flips glowing
ashes into the scrap basket already
full of paper. Providing several
hahdy ash receivers will be a help n
the right direction, but ot coarse,
after all, it is tip tb the man to be
careful in depositing cigar ashes.
Every leaflet on fire prevention
warns fojks to be careful not to
pcrmrt rubbish to accumulate, as
this is" often the cause of spreading
.fire.' Yet a man engaged in inspect
ing the coal in cellars in houses dur
ing the coal shortage s"ay it , is
shocking to see the rubbish thM is
accumulated ., in many cellar.
4 .Not only does this fubbish form
a -good starting place for tires, but
it is the breeding place of danger
ous bacteria or germs. And a good
houscwifewill take her cehjr into
account and get rid of all trash and
rubbish at onqe,
' Then, too, 4he "careful housewife
will have on hand one of the pat
ent fire extinguishers. These are in
expensive and quite wort!' their
weiglit in gold when one discovers
a small blaze anywhere, about the
house, '
An asbestos ' blanket or eyen an
ordinary wool blanket should be
handy at all times. This will
smother a. fire or help in extinguish
ing trie flames from, some inf ;rtu-
