 While some officials, notably those at the state department, have advised the President that he asiss full power to arm merchantmen without congressional ac- ton. others feel that such step would be stretching the law and therefore would be inadvisable.

the course of year.
1t is safe to say that most OF these
fires are entirely preventable and can
be charged to nothing but careless
ness On the part of the user. Vari-
Gus safety devices have been added
by certain of the manufacturers or
these articles. and among them are
some that are fairly effective. but
there is one absolute precaution
which should be borne in mind at all
times by every user, namely, that
of shutting off the current when not
personally and continuously super
yising the use.

new form of fire peril is coming
into prominence as cause of de-
struction, and its fires are so directly
associated with carelessness that it
has been deemed necessary to issue
a special warning to the people OF the
United States. Because OF their con
venience, small electric devices, such
as pressing irons, curling irons, toast
ers. electric pads or blankets, electric
plate warmers and electric sterilizers
or heaters are now to be found In
almost every community. If these were
used with proper care the danger
would be negligible. but, unfortunate
", proportion of their users does
not realize the peril of leaving them
in circuit when not in use. In such
cases these devices tend to become
overheated. whereupon they are Ike
ly to set fire to anything combustible
with which they are in contact.
Most of these fires are small, but
the aggregate loss is large, and occas-
ional instances show extensive dam
age, as in the case of the S350,000
fire in the Boston residence of Elk
Governor Draper; this was traced to
an electric plate warmer in the but
ler's pantry.
Fires of this class furnish a special
peril to life, being most frequent In
dwellings and often breaking out at
night. a characteristic example Is
that in which an electric pressing
iron is left upon the ironing board
with the current turned on, and then
forgotten. In such a case the ire
may not occur until some hours lat
err The burning Of the residence o.
John Wanamaker, several years ago
was due to an electric pressing. iron.
That this form of hazard is alread!
assuming large proportions appears
from the statistics. For example, the
actuarial bureau of the nationa
board OF fire underwriters in one da.
noted approximately one hundred re
ports of fires from this cause, out o

days reports and 1t estimates thai
