Electricity Makes Pleasure of Household Drudgery

it's population of 5,621.15I, there is a variation in the proportion of fires of electric origin of only two-thirds Of one per cent. In other words the re- port shows that the fire hazard from electricity is very nearly the same in the large as in the small cities.
 The match and cigarette fire hazard is far more serious than the electrical, according to the society's investigation. Reports from 96 cities give 700 electri- cal fires to 1923 caused by matches and cigarettes.
 The report is a testimonial to the protection afforded users of electricity 5y the electrical industry from the contractor who does the wiring of the home to the manufacturer who puts out the appliances and the central station which furnishes the current for light, heat and power.
 It has been a custom in many places to lay many fires of uncertain origin to electric causes and to classify with occurring in vehicles, on transmission lines, etc.
 An instance of this inaccuracy is described in the case of Chicago. The fire marshal reported to the society 562 electrical fires out of a total oi 14,407 for the year 1919. These fig ures were referred to the chief in- spector of gas and electricity of Chi cago and it was found that only 116 fires were of electrical origin and oi this number 16 were the burning out of motors or generators and six were caused by the short circuits in auto mobile wiring, leaving really only 9A fires of electrical origin.

uninsured properties, while the under writers figures cover only fires on which adjustments were claimed plus an arbitrary addition supposed to cover the many other fires.
 Actually, the percentages established by the investigation by the Society for Electrical Development are very apt to be somewhat excessive in the ma jority of cases. For instance, the rec ords for 90 towns of about the same size give as the proportion of fires of electrical origin 2.93 per cent of all fires. An analysis of these records show that in 65 per cent of the towns the proportion of electric fires was less than the average and in only 35 pei cent of the communities was the pro- portion of fires of electric origin any higher. Much the same condition Is found in examining the fire records in other groups of cities of about the same size, and also in comparing the re- ports from all the communities.
 Though the percentages as derived from the society investigation may rod be quite accurate, they are eminently fairer and more reliable than those which appear to be advanced by the Fire Underwriters. The latter com pilations are quite valueless as basis upon which to attribute the causes o1 fires.

ILLEGIRLE WRITERS

About the only thing busy business man writes with his own hand is his name and that. as often as not, is il- legthle. His letters are typewritten with a ruled line at the end where he carves his name in cabalistic strokes. It may be relic of the old idea that in order to forestall forgery there should be something peculiar, even cryptic, about a formal signature. but however it be, the fact remains that many men boast a signature that is as good, or as bad, as anything Horace Greedy ever did. The trick or affectation of il- legibility is an irritating habit and it is surprising that some efficiency expert hasn't figured out before this how many working hours are lost every day because of the puzzled efforts of re- ceivers of letters to decide whether the communication is from Rudyard kipling, author, or John Smith. junk dealer.-Toledo Blade.

First Lamps Would
 Be Joke Today

The first commercial electric lamps. made in 1881, consumed nearly 100 watts and gave about 16 candle-power, having an efficiency of about 5.S watts per candle. They lasted about 5000. hours b1t bIackened very early in their life. the lamps giving a very small part of their initial power when they finally burned out
 It is interesting to compare this with the present day lamp which gives about seven times the amount of Ieht for the same energy consumption.
 Tn the fall of 1881 it was realized that 5.S watts per candle was an un- desirably low efficiency and the stan dard was changed to 4 66 watts per candle giving a total life of 300 hours.

Spanish Adobe Home In Los Angeles To
 Be All Electrical

Within short time, an adobe cleo trical home will be opened for inspec- ton in the New Windsor Square dis trict of Los Angeles. Unlike the old Spanish adobe houses formerly con- structed in California, this new adobe house incorporates in it's construction all of the most modern electrical fea- lures of present building methods, in cluding IF outlets, 37 of which are convenience outlets of the latest plug In type. These make possible the convenient use of electrical household appliances and all the labor savers that are so necessary in the home of today.
 This home will be completely and handsomely furnished by we'll known company of house -furnishers in Los Angeles. In addition to the furnish ings the home will be equipped with about fifty of the very latest and most practical household appliances. Dur ing 1920 there were four electrical homes exhibited in California. The adobe house is the. first electrical home of 1921 to be exhibited.

FIRE HAZARDS REDUCED BY
 ELECTRICITY

A national survey of fires through out the country and their origin for the year 1919 has been made by the Society for Electrical Development. Reports from $50 cities with 5000 or more population, representing in the aggre- gate close to 27,5o0,000 people or about half the population of the country now electrically served, show that there were 129,959 fires in these communities during 1919. Of this number only 3.64S in residences, commercial buildings, etc., are attributed to electrical origin. Carrying the figures to percentages, the data shows that only PSI per cent of the fires damaging buildings can be charged to the fire hazard of eiectri- city, or about one electrical fire to every s6 due to other causes.
 The annual fire losses of the United States are estimated at between $250,- 100000 and S300,000,00, or comparative ly, as the society points out, our prop erty losses by fire per capital is six times that of Great Britain, 12h times thet of Germany, eight and one-haif times that Of Austria and more than two and one-haf times as costly as in Russiai
 This tremendous loss increases each year and at times people who are not given to a close study of cause, are inclined to say that electricity is a leading cause of fires. Generally, writers on the topic of fire hazard, roughly estimate the fires caused by electricity as around per cent
 In this country wide survey, which has taken nearly a year of effort, dur ing which questionnaires were direct ed to every city of any size in the coun- try. the society has definitely fixed the percentages of fires due 10 electrical origin by classification. which are youched for by official fire depart rnents of cities throughout the country.
 It is interesting to note that though the data assembled represents records from communities of only 5000 inhab- itants up to Greater New York With

Boats First Lighted
 By Electric Lamps
 With Pulp Fiian7es7fs

The steamer Columbia was equipped with an electric light plant which was started on May 2, 1880, the 115 lamps having carbonized paper filaments. Three 60-light dynamos were in- stalled
 On land the first commercially in- stalled plant was made in January, 1881, in the establishment of .Hinds, Ketchum & Company, New York city. In August, 1882, the. first central sta- tion plant was established at Appleton, Wisconsin. and the second was the Pearl Street station in New York City in September, 1882. During 1881 about 300 lamps were made and sold at 9 dollar each.
 During 1919 it is estimated that the worlds output, not including minia- ture lamps, was about 400,oQ0,000 lamps, worth about $100, ,00o, ,0O0.

proportion of 0.65 per cent of electrical fires in a city which has 1o,309,5l7 electric lamps and more than 5e0,000 horse power of electric motors, includ- ing 1,006, 900 with irons and other elec-s trical appliances.
 The society's statistics are icompre- hensive enough to add an interesting page to the history of fire hazards and their causes in this country. It is not difficult to draw from the records the astonishing fact that the number of fires by electricity is less in heavily populated centers than in sparceiy To- cated communities. And does not this. indicate that the uses of electricity serves to reduce, not increase, the numbers of fires?

They Stilled the Still
And Stole Away to Get
Man Some Other Day

The price of corn whisky Is slated
TO rise in price in the fair city OF fu-
eblo. The reason for these high prices
IA that the honorable prohibition en-
forcement squad composed of Officers
Osborn and Porter and directed by De-
tective Mcdonald. made a protitaple
raid Wednesday afternoon that prom
ises to shut off considerable OF the
city.s supply of the sparkling fluid
thus making the price jump.
Tho squad brought to the station
copper still that was almost four feet
high and had a capacity of approx
mately 80 gallons. More coils than are
seen in a thousand rattlesnakes made
up the cooling section of the still. The
still is pronounced n beauty by the
squad, and the members are said to be
taking turns In polishing It. They
probably think the junkman will pay
more for 1t polished.
The history of the raid starts when
the officers knocked at the door OF an
ordinary looking home IN the 300 block
on Currie avenue. There was no an
swer, so the cops entered and made
themselves at home, as is customary,
the first place to visit Is the cellar on
professional calls of this nature. The
fumes OF $50 gallons OF fermenting
mash greeted their nostrils coming
from fifteen 80 gallon barrels.
A little scouting around disclosed
the still that was so large It could
not be overlooked. Evidence showed
that the still was kept buried under
the stairway when It was not In use.
while the mash was working.
Tho officers went into tho parlor
for several slow passing minutes to
await the return OF tho owner of the
young brewery that can turn out
about 10 gallons of real corn whisky
