CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES

How the Danger Of Parior CoaaaGrn-
tions May BE Minimi1ed-
Several accidents on Christmas ere
and day each year recall the fact. appar-
ent only on that day. that the Christ
mas tree Is quite ms dangerous as Il Is
pretty. and that the proud father per
sonAting Santa Claus should take the
Precaution TO equip himself with ashes
tos Whiskers. About the usual number
Of fires are recorded in the country each
year as a result Of the iniammahle ma
ture Of the Christmas tree and It's dec
oFations and their careless handling.
This warning always follows Christ
mas just as the cutlery against toy pis-
tois is raised after the Fourth Of July.
OF course no rose Is free from thorna,
and apparently no holiday can be OBJ
served IN the conventional fashion with
cat risk Of accident to the merrymakers-
Sputtering candles on q Christmas tree
are q very real danger, aal the same may
l be said Of the trees themselves. the
wreaths Of evergreen and the mistletoe.
I After a day or two they become dry AID
1 innRmmable TO a high degree. and IN the
/ joy Of the celebration risks are run and
! precautions neglected. A tree thus load
| ed down with presents and decorations
may become in an instant q torch -capa'

cities discovered the other day, to theii
great cost and TO the serious discomfort
Of their FIRE departments.

nds Of dollars win be saved every year
Trees should be bought late and KEEP
