THE EXPERTS SAY

When gasoline takes fire it is a seri-
Gus matter. But the most dangerous
accessory to fire is panic.
The average person has such an un-
reasoning fear Of gasoline that he loses
his head completely. The first few fires
will leave one completely unnerved
for time. but after little experience
in fighting them one will acquire self
control.
The novice stands ashast as the first
burst of flame comes from the carbure-
tor. The experienced man jumps for
the nearest preventive. At least one
small fire extinguisher should be on
every car. The large chemical devices
are too bulky and cannot be laid in any
position. whereas the ordinary instru-
ment may be slowed away in a small
space.
The best place is beneath the hood
on the carburet6r side. This is where
the fire starts and may be reached by
raising the hood. Some carry them on
the running board. but this is objec-
tionablc on account of theft liability.
II placed under the seat or secured by
a lock they are not readily placed in
service and the machine may be badly
damaged meanwhile.
Always turn off the gasoline at the
tank to stop feeding the flames. Ordi-
narily there is not more than two
ounces in any float chamber and this
Will not last long. All the parts about
the carburetor are metal and not easily
harmed. II is well also to use the self
starter to turn the engine. This will
draw the flames into the manifold.
Quite often the whole fire may be ex-
tinguishcd II this is done in time.
greater danger arises from per-
hitting an accumulation of inflam-
mable material in the drip pan. once
this becomes fully ignited the situation
requires prompt and efficient action.
The work of extinguishing should be-
gin right here, leaving the carburetor
till the last. Otherwise the burning
gasoline at the bottom will continue to
ignite that at the carburetor.
So remember, always start at the bot
tom and work upward. If there is a
flame on the ground beneath the car,
use the self-starter with gears in mesh
to move TO another position: Sand is
good If available, but never throw sand
on the carburetor or any other parts of
the machine. 1t falls away leaving the
gasoline free to burn, and also gets
into the mechanism. On a fiat surface
sand any other dry powder is excel
lent. Even flour has saved many a
home where gasoline has been used
carelessly.

CHICAGO GRAIN

; Chicago. April 17.-Wheat prices
crashed down today as much as 141s
cents because of wild selling, chiefly
the result OF government action, which
made millions of bushels of Canadian
wheat in the United States free Of
duty and which opened the door for
importing without limit wheat into this
country from Canada. After day of
tumult. the market closed unsettled,
1h to II cents net lower, with May

Violently contrasting conditions
faced the wheat trade at the opening
as compared with the bullish outlool,
of the day before. Instead of a dearth
| of wheat for immediate delivery and to

altered so radically over night that in

selling was again a potent influence

from that quarter inducing further
public liquidation, although many

the heaviness of certain specialties.
