tion-Safety Requires Care.
Casters Magazine: One of the
most difficult things an electrical in
surance department has to do Is to
prove to the lay mind that an installa-
tion which has been In use for several
years Is an Unsafe condition, owing to
the poor condition OF the insulation.
Ihe claim is made. and perhaps rightly,
that the equipment has not given any
great amount OF trouble, 1t is
therefore difficult to convince the as
sured of the possibility of fire from
electrical causes. as they fail to APP
preciate the fact that the efforts of the
fire department are directed toward the
prevention of fires, rather than in de-
ternlining the cause or origin Of q fire
after 1t has occurred.
The old saying that familiarity
breeds contempt" is most applicable to
the average electrical equipment when
under the supervision of persons who
know nothing Of the Inherent danger of
the system. AS a rule. no sooner is an
equipment completed than more or less
changes and alterations are
Instituted. these additions and changes
being made without any regard what
ever to the ordinary precautions which
are supposed to be taken In connection
with electrical work.
1t Is a common thing to find on the
average equipment, after it has been
In service "a short time, the panel
boards or cut-Outs, which, for protec-
ton, were a In cabinets con-
structed of, or lined with, slate, iron
or similar material. used as storage
closets for waste. rags. paper and other
ures are too small for Ibis the
doors are either left open or removed,
and material OF the most combustible
nature Is stored In direct contact with
open fuses, bare u bars and switches.
The ease with which an electric light
or fan a be installed at any point
in a building, or with which changes
can be made in the position of Il lamp.
using for this purpose n flexible cord
and connecting 1t to the most onven
lent source of supply, is perhaps one of
n most common and fragrant VIOLA
lions of prescribed rules. AS 1t re-
quires but Il short time. usually, for the
insulation on this cord Il, become
abraded, or SO dry and hard as to
disturbed, 1t can be seen that this con
dition Is likely to result in trouble
at any place on the circuit.
cOpper wire and
extraordinarily heavy fuses in cut-0uts,
after the fuse originally installed has
operated. is on the same order. This
can be compared in recklessness only
to the tying down OF the safety valve on
a steam boiler. A little knowledge OF
electricity and the laws which gov
ern 1t in It's application to power and
lighting systems. we'll seasoned with
ordinary common sense, would enable
almost any one to understand the av-
erage precautions necessary in the
safeguarding Of electrical wiring and
apparatus, and II hts knowledge, SO
seasoned, were only occasionally APP
piled. the fire losses from electrical
causes would be largely diminished.

How to Make Christmas Tree Fairies.
Dancing Christmas fairies always
enhance the children's delight IN the
Christmas tree, and once made can be
used year after year. Buy dozen or
more five and ten cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the
number some Japanese and colored
dolls. Dress these to represent fairies
in bright hues of spangied gauze, tar
latan or tissue paper and literally
sprinkle their hair and garments with
diamond dust powder. Each doll
should be provided with dainty pair
OF fairy wings made from spangled
tissue paper and fastened to the body
By means of concealed wires. These
wires should be coiled to obtain mo-
ton IN the wings. and nothing better
can be used than the fine spiral coils
that come out Of WORKOUT wire stitch.
