Mrs. O'Leary the careless creature.

Everything was blamed upon the
grown-ups whose carelessness makes
the starting of these fires possible.
Each and every one of them is a mai
or or minor fiddling Nero at the burn
ing of some Rome or other. Mrs.
O'Leary was pointed to as not only a
shining but a blazing example of
what not to do TO prevent fires.
To bring their carelessness home
to all the potential Neros and Mrs.

development, the association planned
