Congress Convenes.

An important conference is to be held

There has recently been an inter-
change of correspondence among the
prospective democratic committeeman,
who have also corresponded with the

These communications have resulted
in an agreement to meet in Washing

the session to consider informally the
question of whether any tariff changes
may be necessitated by the govern
ment's need Of additional revenue. BY
that time Secretary McAdoo expects to
be in position to give the ways and
means committeeman full and definite
information as to the state of the gov
ernment's finances and possible neces-
sity of legislation to raise revenue.
Also by that time it is expected that

"A FEW FIRE DCN'TS. AND
SEVERAL PREVENTATIVES

lathe oils should not be kept in build
ings.
7.-Gas brackets should have rigit
fixtures; where necessary to have
swinging brackets all exposed wood
work should be protected with sheet
metal, leaving an air space. Meta
bells should be placed over gas jets.
S.-Steam pipes should be kept clear
from all wood and other combustible
material.
9.-Open fiue holes should be pro
tected with sheet iron. and under
stoves should be protected in the same
way.
10.-Electricity, when improperly
installed. is hazardous; see that your
certificate OF approval conforms to the
standard prescribed and covers the
entire installation. Lamp cords should
not be hung on nails or wrapped
around piping. Paper shades never
should be used. Confer with your
City Electrician when changes are
contemplated. Do not allow en-
ployees to tamper with electrical in
stallations.
11.-Stove pipes should be run d.
rect to brick chimneys and never
through floors or partitions; protect
floors under stoves and above them
with brick, cement, and sheet metal
12.-Stairways should be kept
closed and clear at all times; never
place any stock or shelving thereon.
13.-Aisles of good width should be
maintained at all times; never pile
stock in front of windows or against
doors, as it handicaps the firemen in
case of fires.
14.-Fire doors and shutters shoul,'
be closed every night, and stock neye,
should be placed so as to hinder the
ready closing of these fire stops.
15.-See that all fire extinguishing
apparatus is in good working order.
16.-Damp lamp black will spon-
/ taneously ignite; so will slack and
pulverized coal and charcoal when
wet.
| 17.-Paper or rags saturated with
printers ink will produce spontaneous
combustion.
1S.-Never use parlor matches, al
ways the safety match, they cost nc
more.
19.-By requiring all doors to swing
outward, especially in public buildings
you may prevent the loss of many
lives.
20.-All buildings over two stories
high should be provided with fire e,
capes and stand pipe for the Fire De
partment's use.
