A. v. Johnson. state IRE warden,
has written . letter to State Superin-
tendent Bishop suggesting that Q day
or an hour Of some day each month be
set aside for the teachers to instruct
their pupils about how to prevent fires
ind what to do in some emergencies.
1t il Mr.. Johnson's idea that II the
children are taught the dangerous use
of gasoline and kerosene and what to
do In case OF explosion. as well as how
to prevent fires by keeping refuse
burned and the danger of permitting
Oil papers to be stacked in an attic
or closet that the lessons now learned
will remain with them always.
Mr.. johnson gave out the following
statement:

possible for the prevention Of fire
waste desires to direct public atten-
ton to the necessity of q general
cleanup during the spring time. De-
bris that has accumulated during the
winter months should be thoroughly
cleared away. The reasons for this
gre obvious. one which might be men,
toned Is that this debris il often re-
sponsible for spontaneous combustion.
which. more prevalent during the hot
summer months than during the cold
or period. is generally regarded by ex-
perienced IRE fighters as one Of the
chief causes Of what are called 'un-
known fires"
Too often houses are built without
giving proper consideration to attic
ventilation: the hot summer sun beats
on the roof. the heat in the attic be-
comes intense and with the attic filed
with rubbish. dust. oily rags. highly
vanished pieces OF furniture or other
accumulations spontaneous combus-
ton is q natural result.
Closets are often used for storing
away greasy overalls. old clothes and
oily rags. such closets should be thor
oughly cleaned and this is particularly
true Of the closet under the stairway,
which Is too often permitted to be-
come q fire trap Immediately under
the only way of escape from the upper
stories of the building.
This Is the season for vanishing
and painting. hence old rags used for
wiping greasy wood and vanished sur.
faces should be burned; II they must
be saved for future use they should
be kept in an iron receptacle substan-
TALLY covered and set away from the
wood buildings.
Paint and oily rags. varnish and
waste. used to wire machinery are
particularly liable to spontaneous COM
bustion.
We desire to suggest that when peo-
pie are removing their stoves for the
summer months. II they would be care
full to see that the hole in the Chin
ney was stopped with a metal thimble
and not with paper or rags it would
prevent a great many fires.

WHAT NORTH COAST
ROAD is DOING HERE

The right-of-way of the North
Coast railroad has been graded
practically as far as the city limits,
and work will be begun within the
next few days on the grade within
the city's boundaries. The streets
in the neighborhood of Ide avenue
have been vacated as ordered by
the city council a couple of weeks
ago, almost two miles of streets
being affected altogether by the
order.
r. E. Strahorn Is making efforts
to get the work finished with the
greatest possible dispatch. 1t is
unlikely, however, that any build
ings in the neighborhood of the
prospective terminal building will

yet. in fact, no action towards this
end may be taken until the present
city hall is vacated, therefore the
quicker the new city hall site is
selected and the new structure
completed. the sooner will the
work on the depot be begun.
Unlike the Milwaukee, the North
Coast has nothing more TO ask OF
the city. All vacations and priv1-
leges asked for have been granted
and there is now nothing to retard
the work. The pay roll has not yet
been materially increased, but it is
certain to be swelled when the
work inside the city limits is really
begun.
