able failure to realize the intensely vo-
lattle and dangerous nature of the oil
products in constant use about the
garage. The ancient bromide regarding
the contempt bred OF familiarity applies
most aptly to the common careless han
ding OF gasoline in the garage.
Thomas P. Brophy, acting chief OF the
New York Bureau Of Fire Investigation,
recently stated: My experience in tnves-
tigatlng garage fires in the greater city
has convinced me that Is per cent of all
these Confa grations are caused by en-
ployes smoking in defiance Of the regula-
tlons in force"
Nor is the car owner entirely gIiltless.
How often does said owner stroll jauntiy
into the garage carrying a lighted cigar?
In nine-tenths of all garage fires the
reason given by those implicated is
''back-fre." The popularity Of this ex-
cuse lies in the fact that It shifts the
burden Of responsibility from the man to
the machine.
In many cases where back-hre Is al
legged to have started the trouble, Mr.
Brophy says that he has found half-burn-
The Washington herald., 1916-05-13

ed cigarettes or stubs Of matches near
the scene OF action In many other in
stances, while the fre marshal may be
morally certain a fire was started by
some cigarette-smoking chauffeur, he is
unable to find tangible proof in support
Of his belief.
The criminal invariably lies. and un-
less he has left actual traces behind him
II is practically impossible to bring the
misdeed home TO him, and the cause of
the blaze stands on the records as the
hard-worked back-fire which is due for
a well-earned vacation.
Here is a case in point After a small.
but potentially dangerous blaze in a New
York garage, Mr.. Brophy began an in
vestgation. The alleged cause was the
usual backflre. In the course Of his in
vestisations the fire marshal discovered
two half-smoked cigarettes and a burnt
match With these mute witnesses he
extracted a confession from one ftwo
mechanics employed in the establishment,
on the promise to try to save the mans
job for HIM il he told the truth. The two
men had lighted cigarettes and the flame
Of the match had caught a current of
vapor emanating from a pail of gaso-
line some feet away, with disastrous re-
suits. The man who told the truth Is
still working in that garage, and 1t is
safe betting that he is cured OF his fond
ness for cigarettes.
In another instance, a mechanic had
been making repairs in a cylinder, the
head Of which had been removed. He
had put down in the cylinder an electric
drop light to enable him to see what he
was doing. In pulling the light out the
glass bulb broke against the edge Of the
cylinder and a disastrous fire was started
by the inCandescent wire.
