the course extended from three to four
months That will not be done. how

of the Atlantic fleet have been filled prior
to sailing for the Mediterranean October
%
The Secretary intends to extend the
course to six months wherever practical
BILE for the exceptional cases of ap-
prentices who are backward in their
tunity for those who have chosen special
branches. such as radio electricians,
artificers and machinists, to perfect their
knowledge of the chosen branches.
Four Subjects Taught at Newport.
In the school system established at the
naval training station, Newport. r. L.,
four subjects are taught-arithmetic,
geography. grammar and spelling. Each
man receives about four hours instruc-
ton a week, resulting in one recitation
la week in each subject. AS the men
are only detailed for instruction in the

ficient desks to accommodate three divis-
ions of seventy-five men each.
Each Instructor instructs in all branches

much education each man has had. and
then to start in from that point to give
him further instruction. The men who
are willing are given every opportunity
to advance and those that are careless
and inattentive are punished, IL neces-
Sary.

FIRE HAZARD
Is Natural Gas, Says Fire
Marshal In His Re-
port.

The state FIRE marshal in his
regular monthly report has the
following precautionary. remark
to make in reference to the fire
hazard of natural gas:
Natural gas, if properly used,
is one of the safest methods of
beating, yet it has become one of
West Virginia's FIRE hazards that
must be- reckoned with.
1.-The use of the rubber hose for
connecting up stoves is especially
dangerous. These rubber hose are
usually hastily stuck on TO the
hose cock and leaving escaping
gas in the room. The room is
usually lighted by gaze, aud conse.
quently fire ensues.
"These hose when they get a
little old will leak and allow the
gas to escape into the room. There
are n great many fires from this
source reported to this Office and
this fact alone should condemn
their use.
Another common gas stove
hazard is where small stove pipes.
are used. The general impression
is that these pipes do not get hot.
This Office recently made an
inspection OF risk wherein q
small 3 inch stove pipe oharred
about / A of an inch deep thick,
heavy eky light timber, located
some twelve feet from tho heating
stove. This risk was located in
the center OF fine business block.
The condition was just getting
ripe for a midnight fire which
would have been reported in the
papers the next morning as ter
rible FIRE loss, the fire being of
unknown origion.
Watch cut for such hazards in
your home or place of business.
