BEWARE! IF YOUR LIFE ISN'T
VALUABLE, GASOLINE Is

In the cities the most stringent laws
are in force for the prevention of
fires from carelessness with gasoline,
but in rural districts every man is
pretty much his own law in this partic-
ular respect
With the advent of the automobile,
the motor truck, the tractor, and the
stationary gasoline engine, gasoline
has become almost as common as ker-
osene on farm. This is most danger
'ous petroleum product in common use.
Even at ordinary temperatures it
gives off very explosive vapor, and
it burns more fiercely than kerosene.
The only really safe place to keep
the gasoline supply is tank under
ground, and it should never under any
circumstances be kept inside any
building where it may be necessary to
take a kerosene or other open light
If the container permits vapor to es-
cape, a spark from the electrical
equipment or a flame from the ex-
haust pipe of any gasoline engine may
easily ignite it.
The vapor from single pint will
render the air in an ordinary sized
room explosive 1t is heavier than
air, and there may be a great deal of
it near the ground or floor. while the
odor would not be particularly notice
able to person standing. For this
reason it is especially hazardous to
set lantern on the ground or floor
near a gasoline container of any kind.
even out of doors.
Open-flame lights should never be
allowed in the garage or the building
containing the farm tractor or gaso-
line engine. and such a building
should never be heated by a stove
1t is safer If the automobile and trac-
tor are run outside before the tanks
are filled. Water. unless applied in
very large quantities, has no effect on
burning gasoline except to spread the
fire.
The gasoline stove is probably the
most dangerous cooking or heating
appliance in use on the farm. II there
is gasoline stove in the house the
fuel tank should never be filled while
the stove is in operation. Even then
care must be taken not to spill any of
the gasoline. The tank should. never
be entirely filled, for gasoline will ex-
pand.
Many destructive fires and even
deaths have been caused by explo-
sions when gasoline was being used
for cleaning purposes inside the
house. Often some cleaning agent
which will not take fire could be used
as satisfactorily as gasoline When
cleaning is done with gasoline 1t
should never be in a room where
there is fire; the doors and the win
dows, IL possible. should be kept open.
