After discussing some of the de.
partments, and how to report the
same, the subject of the great suffer
ing and want among the miners Of our
state was brought up. The appeal
comes from Gov. Willis to Mayor Per-
rine and the great distress is not the
effects of a strike as some may sup
pose.
A committee was appointed with
Mrs. E. F. Altenburg, 217 East Ham
tramck street, as chairman. to solicit
provisions and send barrel or more.
1t was suggested flour in 5 and 10 h.
sacks fill one barrel, and another
with general supplies (nothing of a
perishable nature).
All who wish to assist please leave
at Mrs. Anna Cunningham's, 109
South Mulberry street, by Saturday.
The barrel will be packed Monday.
1t being Mrs. Walkers birthday, a
very pleasant feature of the evening
was when Vice President Mrs. Man
vile, in a most touching manner, pre-
sented to the president, Mrs. j. Walk
er, a beautiful red letter Bible, and
was responded to by Mrs. Walker in
words of love and appreciation for all
her women.

cream were served.

WAY To FIREPROOF
CH|LDRENS GARMENTS

child being burned while playing nears,
bon fires or with matches. The rec.
ords show that the accidents occur
both to the children of the rich as
well as the offspring of the poor. The
COWBOY and Indian suits which are SO
popular with our children are partic-
ularly dangerous, as they have a film
sy fringe which becomes ignited very
easily. These suits should never be
worn unless rendered impervious to,
fire.
In order to give this ammonium
phosphate solution severe test I ex-
perimented with some strips Of fiimsy
gauze, which ordinarily take fire and
burn up completely in few seconds.
One of these strips | placed in the
ammonium phosphate solution and
then allowed it to dry The flame OF
a wax taper was applied to the edge
of the gauze for one minute, at the
end of which time the gauze wasa.
blackened at the edge, but remained
whole in substance.

In the course of my duties while

tended twenty-one children who were
burned to death in this manner. I
have compiled the statistics for 1914,
which show that there were 1856
ceaths from accidental burns in
Brooklyn alone, and at least 80 per
cent of these cases resulted from
carelessness. | sought for a means
of preventing accidents of this char
acter, and the following description
of my plan shows how this can be
accomplished without trouble or ex-
pense.
There is an easy and efficient meth
cd of fireproofing the clothing of chill
dren, which every one should know.
Many tragedies can be averted by
fireproofing the children's play suits,
as well as lace curtains and such
other articles of an inflammable ma
ture as may easily come into contact
with fire and SO cause serious acci-
dents. A solution of ammonium
phosphate is used for this purpose
and can be made quickly and easily.
Dissolve one pound of ammon-
ium phosphate in one gallon Of
cold water, and a clear solution is
formed in which the fabric to be
fireproofed should be soaked for
five minutes. The garment can
then be taken out and allowed to
dry, after which It may be worn
with perfect safety, as it is abso-
IuteIy fireproof.
The solution produces no more
harm to the material than would the
same quantity of ordinary water. 1t
will keep indefinitely, is nonpoisonous
and can be used for several suits.
Ammonium phosphate is common
white crystalline powder, not patent
ed in any way, and sells for about %
cents a pound at any drug store.
Any article fireproofed by this
method will remain non-infiammable
until washed or drenched with rain.
The use of this solution is a safety
measure which should be employed
for pageants, carnivals and receptions
where fiimsy draperies play an i'm
portant part in the scheme of deco
ration. 1t should also be used for
scenery and properties in theatrical
productions and as a safeguard at all
amateur Christmastide and New Year
displays.
