DUE TO DEFECTIVE FLUES
Enormous Financial Loss by Fire 10
Credited to Carelessness In
This Respect.

The campaign against the enormous
preventable fire waste of the country
has naturally led to a study of the
principal hazards and those which can
most easily be avoided Hazards are
divided broadly into two classes-phy-
steal and moral-the physical hazards
being inherent in the risk itself and In
its surroundings, while the moral haz-
ard arises from personal factors.
Physical hazards may be subdivided
into external and internal This ex-
ternal hazards include lightning, con-
hagrations. sparks, bonfires and ex-
posture losses. To this cause are due
28 per cent. Of all losses both as to
number and value. The internal haz-
ards are much more numerous and
may be subdivided into five classes
These are: Spontaneous combustion.
the hazards due to the operation OF
machinery, the hazards incident to
processes, those due to the various
systems and kinds of apparatus used
for heating and lighting, while the
NTH division includes all those not al
ready CLASSIFIED.
The various processes of heating
which usually include the actual use
OF IRE are responsible for more losses
than any other cause, and under this
class 1t should be noted that defective
nues are responsible for twice as
many fires as any other physical or
known moral hazards, and for a great
er property loss than any other cause.
Statistics show that 10 per cent of
the total number of fires can be attrib-
uted to defective flues, with a prop
erty loss of over s12,00O.000 annually.
Electricity is responsible for the larg-
er proportion of the losses due to IL
Elimination, although not for the larg-
est number of such losses.-Insurance

In addition, the track was wet and
heavy in the extreme. Being a new

very slow track at best. These fac
