pRECAUTION WITH GAS
CLIP THIS OUT-STlCN 1T UP.
BLAME NO ONE IF YOU GET
BloWED UP.

As a result Of the explosion of
natural gas Tuesday the home of
William Eldridge Of Kansas City was
destroyed and several members OF
his family seriously injured The eN.
plosion was caused by carelessness
and the failure of the family to oh.
serve the ordinary precautions which
should never be neglected. An emf.
nent local chemist discussing the
accident gives the following advice
which should be carefully considered
by Ardmore people who are about
to use natural gas for domestic pur.
poses:
TOO much care cannot be used to
prevent the escaping OF natural gas
in homes. Because it is odorless natu.
raj gas is really more dangerous
than the manufactured kind. 4 room
may become one-tenth filled with
natural gas and yet an occupant
propably would not notice It. except
perhaps for a slight heaviness.
"The gas would not suffocate him
and yet If he should light a match
in the room an explosion would oc.
cur Of sufficient force to destroy the
house. This is why natural gas is
so dangerous and why every pre-.
caution should be taken to prevent
1t from escaping. In the Kansas City
home which was destroyed gas
jet or burner on stove had
probably been left open allowing
a great deal OF gas to acs iu.ulate In
the house. This being the case. an
explosion was lnevltabi ren 4
match was lighted.
THE action OF manufactured gas
is different. A person in room
which had become one.tenth filled
with II would soon succumb to as
phyxiation, and yet II a match were
lighted In a room there would moi
be sufficient gas there to cause an
explosion.
There are three important thing,
to be considered in connection with
the use OF natural gas. 1t is hotter
than artificial gas. 1t blows ou
easily and it is odorless. Thes,
things make 1t constant menace un
less great care is used. Every "a,
crate should be stone or bricl
lined. Most of them are not. Ga
stoves are frequently set too clos,
to unprotected woodwork.
ut Is essential to be very careful
not to turn natural gas too low
either In stoves or CRATES. or or
jets for Illuminating purposes. An!
draft is liable to blow 1t out, fre
quently with disastrous results"

Disney evidently thinks so. And

In case the republicans do give
their sanction to his scheme the
people will become so Thoroughly dis
