WINTER FIRE HAZARDS

An alarming number of reports of
chimney and roof fires are coming in.
Because of scarcity of hard coal,
soft coal is being used in stoves and
furnaces intended for wood or hard
coal. The smokepipes and chimneys
become clogged in short time Then
dangerous experiments are tried to
remove the SCOT. Waste paper and
excelsior are burned and drafts op-
ened, sending flames through the
pipes and chimney. The more fool
hardy resort to powder, gasoline or
kerosene.
This practice is more than likely to
set the shingle roof on fire The
flames overhead the pipes and CHM
ney and find any defect in either.
Thus woodwork near the pipes or in
contact with chimneys becomes ig=
nited.
Soft coal gases and fumes disinte-
CRATE the mortar between the brick
creating openings for the dangerous
spark.
Often these defects are in concealed
places as in attics Or between ceilings
and floors and bad fire may develop
unnoticed.
Frequent, thorough cleaning of
chimneys and smokepipes is the only
safe remedy.
In 1919 over one-fourth of Wiscon-
sins fire waste was due to heating
plant hazards.
Many of these fires occur at night,
thus greatly endangering the lives of
sleeping occupants of homes, hotels
and apartments.
In 1919, in this State, 73 persons
died and lat were injured through
fire. Women and children were the
chief victims.
Is your family and home free from
fire and life dangers ?-Industrial
Council.

ROUNDING THEM UP

The one bit of satisfactory news
that has come from the Shipping
Board of late is the announcement
that some, at least, of the rascals who
have been using the Board as a base
for wholesale robbery of American
taxpayers are really in imminent
peril of being brought to book for
their crimes. Admiral Benson, Chair
man of the Board, has made the spe-
cific announcement that prosecution
of graft cases will begin at once in
New York, Norfolk and other cities
wherever the crooks can be corralled.
By graft" cases the Admiral means
presumably the briberies, payroll
paddings, collusive contracting, rob-
berries in gross and thieveries in de-
tail, of which the pitiful helpless
Board has been for so long the victim.
This of course leaves uncovered the
criminal Indifference, the wanton
squanderings, the sheer imbecilities
through which the Board was flched
of the peoples money confded to it's
care. That is altogether too vast a
field for exploration. The millions or
billions which have run through that
sieve are hopelessly gone. Those re-
sponsible are hopelessly beyond the
reach of the punishment. But the
,Io1 i
thieves, remain. They are in many
cases within reach. And now, it
seems, the Shipping Board has suffi
GENTLY emerged from its complacent
trance to reach for them.
This is what Colonel Golf, counsel
of the Board, promised a couple of
weeks ago. His promise would have
lost nothing in convincing quality had
it been couched in somewhat less
famboyant language. However, let
him produce results in a full bench
show exhibit of convicted scoundrels,
and all that and a vast deal more
would be forgiven him. With nothing
less than this will the American peo-
pie be satisfied. The country has been
sickened by the long drawn revela-
tions of crimes innumerable. It wants
a relief in the form Of rogues march
to the penitentiaries.
A good example has been set in
periurers, blackmailers, and shyster
lawyer accomplices in the building
trades plunderings. There should be
a similar roundup of the Shipping
Boards crew of scoundrels.-Har-
vey's Weekly.

\ CHRISTMAS FIRES

Annually many children are burned
to death in America by fires from
Christmas candles-poor Christmas
cheer.
Set the tree on firm standard so
that it cannot be tipped over. Use
metallic tinsel and other non-inflam-
mable decorations only, and powdered
mica and fibre asbestos to represent
snow
Do not permit the children to light
the candles except in presence of
adults. Electrical illumination is
safer, but should be installed by an
electrician.
Remove the tree before the needles
become dry.
Special caution must be exercised
in churches, schools, stores and ba-
zaars where fires are liable to cause
panics and holocausts.
Let no preventable fire mar the joy
Of Christmas.

formed Concerning Their Gas.
Electric and Telephone Service.
Members of the Wisconsin Gas,
Electric and Telephone Associations
at meeting in Milwaukee organized
a cooperative public relations Util-
tiles Bureau.
Offices have been established in
Milwaukee, with Frantz Herwig, a
former Milwaukee newspaperman, in
charge
The bureau proposes to place the
facts. concerning the operation of the
public utility companies of Wisconsin
squarely before the people of the
state in the firm belief that when the
people-the customers of the utilities
know the truth they will be fair
and just in their conclusions.
"Our bureau will disseminate au-
thentic information throughout the
state regarding all phases of the pub
lie utility industry which we believe
will interest the public" said Mr..
Herwig. eve propose to deal with
human interest as we'll as economic
facts.
"The utilities seek nothing else
through our bureau except fair play
and just treatment so as to enable
them to supply the public with the
very best gas, electric or telephone
services and so to conduct their in
dustries as to enable them to pay
their employees more than a mere liv-
ing wage, and to provide the men who
have invested their money in the in
dustry with reasonable return on
their investment.
1--WE believe the public has come to
realize that the prosperity of a COM
munity is dependent upon the pros
perity of the public utilities that serve
it. We further believe that the public
has learned that the utilities not only
provide the comforts of life but near
ly all the necessities as we'll We do
not believe the people wish their util-
tiles strangled to death for lack of
financial sustenance.
Wherefore, Our bureau means to
tell the people the truth and then be
content to let the people judge the
merits of the utilities case, for after
all it is the public that suffers or pros
pers as the utility suffers or pros
pers."

GROWTH Of ELEC-
TRIO RAILWAYS

That the prosperity of country or
community are intertwined is well
illustrated in the comparative growth
of the United States and the electric
railways in this country since 1888 to
the present day. In 1888 there was
but eight miles of electric railway in
the United States-or the world for
that matter-or this country was the
pioneer. Figures compiled Tor the
year ending 1919 show that there
were 9O1 electric railway companies
in the United States operating 49,484
miles of track, or nearly enough to
circle the earth twice.

ENGINEER
ADDRESSES
CONFERENCE:

Washington, D. c., Dee. l The
big feature at the annual meeting of
the American Association of State
Highway Officials here today was the
address of A. R. Hirst, State High
way Engineer, of Wisconsin, on the
Relative Service Value of Different
Types of Rural Pavements". Mr..
Hirst struck new note in his address
which is the cause of much discussion
in the convention.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Hirst criticized the "sehoolmen"
type Of read engineers whose whole
thought was bent on certain theories
of the alleged true economics of
highway construction and lost sight
Of the economics of the traffic situa-.
tion today. The mileage of the high
er types of roads which can be built
with the funds available is exceeding
ly limited, which means that a large
part of the traffic would be nucared
for and would be carried at an eco
nomic loss. In the ordinary state
this mileage would not be sufficient
to cover the primary highways in
ten year period. Are we in the mean
time to allow the unbuilt peritions to
go totally unsurfaced and uncared for
because we are seeking a relative per
fection on a small margin? He said:
I'VE have thought too little about
the basic function of highways which
is, of course, to offer facilities for
travel. We have been too prone to
concentrate ourselves upon the con-
sideration of a specific length of high
way and upon an endeavor to eco
nomically design and build this
length, rather than concerning our
selves with the more important traf-
fic situation as a whole in the unit of
government in which we operate.
eve have been content to design
and build few miles of highway
each year and to look forward into
the far distant future with the hope
that some day the contemplated sys-
tenn would be completed and traffic
would be free to come and go as it
pleased. We have closed our eyes to
the fact that in the meantime we had
on our hands scores or hundreds or
thousands of miles of highway which
are difficult for traffic at all times and
impossible at some"
He advocated following the exam
pie of the railroads who built to ac-
commodate the traffic with the funds
available originally and built the
the whole way. As traffic became
more intensive, justifying larger ex-
penditures, the railroads were re-
built. First accommodate traffic,
building with the money available,
and after you have accommodated it
the necessary betterments will follow.
The important factor in determining
on program is what program will
be of the most benefit to the traffic in
designated area.
Referring to the problem Of motor
truck traffic, he said it is not going to
be possible to permit the turning loose
on highways of any Behemoth that
human ingenuity might devise. He
believed that it was imperative that
the states adopt uniform standards
for he loads to be borne by roads of
different classes Of Importance, and
that traffic on these roads be required
to conform to these standards.

CANNON SHOULD STAND ON
COURT HOUSE GROUNDS.

We believe the proper place for the
permanent location of the cannon do
mated to this city by the U. S. Gov
ernment is in the court house grounds.
The court house is the seat of city
and county governments and the yard
is spacious and the cannon would
show off to better advantage than
anywhere else. The T. B. Scott Lii
brary Park would be our second
choice for its location facing the Wis
consin river on First street north.

A safe worker is valuable-a
change -taker is not
Safety first, last and always.
Sooner or later you must get the
Safety habit if you expect continued
employment by any manufacturing
concern in this country.
One think BEFORE an accident is
worth a million thinks afterward.
Practice Safety yourself Others
will follow you.
Bear in mind that many accidents
occur on the winders and calenders.
Get the habit of watching yourself.
Then you won't need to watch the
casualty list.
One mans effort toward Safety
may seem small, but all together We
can do a great deal.
Safety first pays dividends in
health. ,----~---..-------.-----
Do it safely or not at ALL
The pull-together spirit wins in
Safety.
When hurry interferes with Safety
cut out the hurry
Your body is a big part of your
capital. Don't invest it in the "Bank
of Careless Habits"
1t is better to lose a minute in
avoiding a possible accident than a
month in nursing an injury.
Safety First never had a failure
The chance-taker is the accident
maker.
