Spontaneous
Combustion

During the last fiscal year 127 fires
were reported to this department as
due to spontaneous combustion, or
more properly speaking, spontan-
eous ignition, causing a damage of
1922, 10000. No doubt. in addition
to these many other fires reported
as of unknown" origin, were in
fact caused by spontaneous ignition.
Spontaneous combustion is the ig-
milton of a substance or body by in
ternal development of heat without
the action of any external fame.
1t often takes place in waste, rags,
cloths, cotton, sawdust and other
substances partially saturated with
oil. Vegetable and animal oils es-
pecially absorb oxygen very rapidly
and thus sufficient heat is produced
to set the oily substance on fire.
These fires occur at night as we'll
as in daytime. They often develop
in cellars, attics, storage closets,
warehouses, shops and other out-of-
the-way places, not under constant
observation, and spread rapidly, fed
by the highly combustible materials.
Often such fires are not detected un-
til they have had a good start, and
so are hard to control and cause
much damage.
New schools, churches, factories
and residences and others undergo
ing repairs or renovation are often a
prey to the flames because some
painter or perhaps the good house
wife has left some oily rags or mop
around.
Linseed oil is the worst of all oils
causing spontaneous ignition, and
cotton seed oil comes next, per-
haps.
The prevention of these fires is
quite simple and inexpensive. Care
and good housekeeping will make
them almost impossible.
Oily waste and rags and oily paint
cloths in use during the day should
be kept in a standard, self-closing,
METAL waste can. At the close of
the day these should be burned up
or otherwise destroyed.
Oily metal filings, behring's and

cuttings, oily leather scraps, excel
sior used for rubbing painted or
vanished furniture or floors, cloths
or mops used for the same purpose,
and oily or wet sawdust should new
Ell be permitted on wooden floors or
benches, but should be cleaned up,
removed and destroyed. Oily over
alls, jumpers or aprons should be
hung on brick wall or stored in
METAL closets. Inky cloths used to
wipe rollers in printshops and litho-
graph establishments should be
burned after use.
Some sweeping compounds con.
tain oil, and the only safe storage is
in a metal barrel or box. Floor oils
and "dust preventatives" contain
the necessary materials for spon-
taneous ignition, and cloths used in
applying them should be destroyed.
Many fires in barns are caused by
improperly cured and heated hay or
grain. Aside from proper curing
and drying, perfect ventilation to
carry away this heat is the best ire
tentative of such fires.
T Cleanliness and care will prevent
most of these mysterious" and
disastrous fires.

INSPECTING HUMAN

M lwaukee has a manufacturing
plant which is one of a series of
three operated in different parts of
the country by the same owners.
The present manager of the Mil
waukee factory has managed each
of the other two. Under his man
agement each factory in turna has
been made to produce more and at
lower cost than its rivals. Moth
ing pleases this man so much as 10

list and then go to one of the other
two and make his new shop beat
his previous one.
A brief consideration of his meth

be in place here because his sue

depends entirely upon the time and
attention he gives to the health and
physical welfare of the factory
workers..
While other managers are Civ

ialist we retain by the year. He told
me that the condition was very bad.
When the glasses were ready the
doctor rock the girl to the window,
raised the shade and asked her to
look out. She gave a little cry of
happy amazement. For the first
time in her life she was really see
ing the beauties of the world about
her. I'mnot worrying now about the
amount and quality of the output
of her bench.
Another girl showed evidence
of headaches. BY little kindly
questioning, found she was COM
ing to work on a breakfast of cof-
fee and little piece of bread or
toast. The addition of couple of
eggs to that girls breakfast has
made her crackerjack operator.
Now we're working upon the
condition of the air. This presents
some difficulties because of the ma
ture of our product and manufac-
turing process. But we're getting
it. Every hour the welfare worker
takes record of atmospheric tenn
perature and moisture. BY atten-
ton we're bringing down the heat
and increasing the humidity with
the result that the workers feel bet
ter and do more and better work
than when they tire out too early in
the work6ay.
"Of course, it's bigger job to
keep human machines in fine run
ming order than it is the iron and
steel ones. Perhaps that's why so
many owners and managers neglect
them. My company, however, pays
me to do the things most impor.
tant to make their business profit
able. It's some personal satisfac-
ton to me to know that aside from
profits and my own increasing sal
airy checks, I'm doing something to
make the employees healthier, hap
pier and more prosperous than
they are in the plants of our COM
petitors. !"
He chuckled gleefully at this
point in his talk. Besides" he
said, I'm getting the cream of the
workers "
