KELLER TELLS
OF CHRISTMAS
FIRE DANGER
State Fire Marshall Tells How Holi-
day Flames Can Be Avoided and
Give List Of Don'ts''
URGES USE OF ELECTRIC LIGHTS
Asks For Cooperation in Carrying
Out Suggestions Made To Minimize
Possibility Of A Conflagration

Charles b. Keller, of St. Paul, state
fire marshall, has issued a list of
Christmas don'ts which are given out
with the hope that they will decrease
the amount of holiday fires which
otherwise would be the result.
Carelessness at Christmas time In
creases danger Of life and property.
The rapidly approaching Christmas
season brings grave fire hazards with
it. The flimsy materials used in
store decorations are of a highly in
flammable nature, usually in close
proximity to kerosene, gas, actylene,
electric and other lights. Electric
lights properly safe-guarded are the
ideal light for decorative purposes,
but improper handling makes them
decided fire menace. Electric bulbs
should never be wrapped with tissue
paper or cloth for colored effects, as
the heat from light of small cali.
bre will ignite if kept in contact with
the wrappings for a short time.
The average Christmas tree offers
unusual opportunities with gaily COL
ored candles is a veritable death trap.
Churches, halls and, school houses
where public celebrations are held
are usually packed to suffocation
and in many instances the aisles and
other means of exit are filled with
people, making escape almost impos-
sible, but in any event imperiling the
lives of all who attend.
Keller Dont's
Do not decorate Christmas trees
with paper cotton or any other in
flammable material. Use metallic tin
sci and other non-Inflammable decor ;.
alton only, and set the tree securely
SO that the children in reaching :or
things cannot tip it over.
Do not use cotton to represent
snow. If you must have snow use
asbestos fiber.
Do not permit children to light or
re-light the candles while parents
are not present.
They frequently set fire to their
clothing instead.
The tree itself viii burn when
needles become dry.
Keep matches out of the reach of
children at the holiday time.
Candles are meant to be lighted
and if the children can get matches
they will experiment with them.
"a House of. Merriment is better
than house of Mourning"
Don't Use Cotton
The fire marshal does not wish
to be understood as opposing the pro-
per celebration of the Christmas sea-

LET WAGNER LIVE
WHERE HE PLEASES.
From the Newark Post.

From the Newark Post.
What's all this hullabaloo over
where the Commissioner Of Education
Wagner shall live? The Dover In
dex has simply raised old Ned be-
cause he didn't rent one of their va
cant houses. In an editorial a
column and then some long, by this
lack Of charity on Wagner's part the
Index has proven conclusively that
he's not equal to the job-they al
ways wanted a Delawarean any way.
Then here comes THE EVENING
JOURNAL with a column (extra
wide) Of statistics showing where
every body lives.

residence, Newark without doubt

Senate one day that it might be wise
TO turn the whole State machinery
over to Newark and every body 60
home Senator Rinehardt showed
similar symptoms OF wisdom.
Newark is the head OF the educa-
tional system Of the State. In grant
ing the recent new charter for the
College by the General Assembly

ton of the College to the Public
School System. This is an express
sion Of the College on the wisdom OF
cooperation whereby both would be
better able to serve the needs Of the
State
Commissioner Wagner was invited
by College authorities to make his
headquarters at Newark with the
view OF close relationship between
the institution and the Public School
System. He decided otherwise and
for reasons. personal to himself per-
haps At least It is none OF our busi-
ness where he lives. It's his service
with which we are concerned. And

LEwEs, REHOBOrH ANp rRAINs

From the LeWes Pilot.
This is true story illustrating
what Lewes and Rehoboth are up
against. A prominent Philadelphia
physician was casting around for a
place to send his family for the sum-
mer and mentioning the matter cas-
ually to a former Lewestonian, Lewes
and Rehoboth we're described to him
In detail. He was intensely inter
ested and was referred to the Sussex
Trust Company for house large
enough to accomdate his family and
servants. But how about train
seryice?" he asked, and when he was
told how many hours were required
to get there he threw up his hands.
rs it possible?" he exclaimed in
amazement. He did not write TO the
Sussex Trust Company; he said he
could not even consider Lewes and
Rehoboth Notwithstanding the fact
that this was just the kind Of a place
that he was looking for. The beastly
train service made il impossible. ITO
spend Sunday with my family would
lose half a day going and another
half a day coming back: would not
get into Philadelphia until almost
noon on Monday. Impossible" he re-
peated again.
This is only one case and doubtless
hundreds of others just like It could
be cited. How can Lewes and Reho-
both grow to what they ought to be
under such circumstances? How
long shall We stand for such in
justices?
We are more grateful than we can
say to Mr.. William Horn. of Reho-
both, for his valuable assistance in
our efforts to arouse the people of
Lewes and Rehoboth TO the unjust
discrimination against them in the
matter of train service. Every per-
son who brings up this subject
wherever people congregate and ex-
presses this sentiment for better
train service, is also helping in the
movement. but it is Mr.. Horns novel
way of bringing It to attention, as de-
scribed in his letter in our last issue,
that causes us to mention his work
especially. Mr. Horn requests us ito
keep it up" and with so much real
and substantial encouragement on
every side, we certainly shall keep II
