Two Harvard

In Se111i-Fiinals
Seller, Hemingway and Whit

By Jack Masters

Inc three remaining matches in the
fourth round for the Class B national
squash tennis championship we're de-
cided yesterday Afternoon on the courts
OF the Squash Club. and as result

Club; E. H. Hemmipway. Harvard

and Thomas Coward, Yale Cub (the
latter qualified on Wednesday,, will
meet in the semi-finals to-day
Seller advanced at the expense of
basll van Gerbig, of the Squash Club.
IN a match that had its quota of thrills
tor a packed gallery. Van Gerbig took
an to 8 lead in the opening came,
but Seller warmed up and gathered
eight points. while holding his op-
ponent scoreless, and a real battle en-
sued before Seller was returned the
victor.
Van Gerbg improved his tlay con-
slderably IN the second game and
made some really remarkable gets.
He held the Montclairite at all stages
and won easily.
Fine Rally by Seller
The final game was exciting from
start to finish. Here again tn Squash
Cub player went to the front eariy.
with a 3 to advantage, anu it was
thought by many that he would upset
the dope by defeating Seller. With
matters apparently against him, the
NJ NJ Montciair player, sprang one of the
most sensational spurts witnessed
during the tournament and collected
the full string of fifteen points, while
Van Gerbig was scoring only two
more markers.
Another contest which brought
rounds of applause from she spectators
was that in which r. V. -Mahon, of Co
lumbia. was eliminated by f. S. Whit
lock after three hard-fought games.
Mahon won the first with point
advantage and Whitlock returned the
compliment in the second.
The deciding tilt developed into a
most unusual conflict. With Whitlock
serving, the Harvard man, to the
ama4ement of every one present, in
cluding his bewildered opponent, ac-
tually ran points in a single hand.
Then followed several handouts and
three more points for Whitlock, who
now had his man 12-0.
New Racquet Helps
Mahon decided to hunor his SUPER
stitious streak at this point and left
the court to change his racquet. He
returned and registered 8 points, while
Whitlock could do nothing to increase
is total of IL points. The Harvard
man rallied here and ran the string.

on lights of all sorts, even electric
lights are a constant menace.
Electric wiring is another hazard
which is doubly dangerous because
people know so little about electric
lighting systems, as a rule. Insulation
is weakened or destroyed by hanging
a lighting wire from a nail, which
means an eventual short circuit, and
often a disasterous fire. Wires, even
though we'll insulated, may become
exposed through rotting of the insula-
ton, through the gnawing of mice, and
for other causes. Electric irons, cleo
trio vacuum cleaners, and similar at
tachments, are responsible for many
home fires, often because they are at
tached to a house circuit not designed
to take this extra load"
Open fires, without adequate spark
screens, take their annual levy of
homes. Dirty flues, stovepipes run
through wooden walls or partitions,
and half a hundred other items of
careless construction or handling of
cooking apparatus cause thousands
of fires every year. Some patent

and destruction through conflagra-
tons. The family garage, since the
motor has come in to such general
use, has added tremendously to the
fire hazard to homes. Smoking in
and near garages causes thousands
of fires, which are particularly diff
ficult to control. The natural in
clination to throw water on a fire
helps along a gasoline fire tremend-
ously. The lighter gas floats on top
of the water, which runs about carry
ing the flaming gas with it, spreading
the flames to nearby buildings and in
volving them in the disaster.

GOVERNMENT TRYING
TO CHECK HAZARD OF
COSTLY fire LOSSES

BUFFALO, New York-That the
United States is literally on fire, and
that something must be done about 1t,
is the message which the government
authorities OF every degree, from the
president down, are trying TO impress
upon the country by instituting fire
prevention day.
The United States loses several
times as muck of its wealth by fire as
any other civilized country, and
large part of this loss is due to care
lessness and is therefore preventaAle
Complete figures for European ma
tons is not available for the years
since the beginning of the World War,
but in the year preceding its outbreak,
the comparison of figures puts the
United States in a bad light. The
average fire loss for each man, wo-
man and child in France was 40 cents;
in England, 80 cents; in Germany. Is
cents: in Austria-Hungary, % cents.
in Switzerland, Is, cents, and in Hol-
land only IL cents. In the same year
the average fire loss for each Ameri-
can of every age was S2.10.
Another comparison based on 1913
figures shows well how carelessness
of all sorts in regard to fire cost Chi
cago $5,513,237 while in Vienna, then
a city of about the same size, the fire
loss for the year was only 5000, 200. In
the same year New York's fire losses
amounted to four and half times the
fire loss in London. Fifty years ago
the terrible fire occurred, but the aw-
full lesson of that catastrophe seems
almost forgotten.
Organizations interested IN reducing
this useles loss have compiled figures
showing that the American fire tax,
If it could have been avoided, would
have served to build 283,275 new
homes or would have built enough
miles of macadam road to girdle the
globe at the equator more than five
and half times. The loss for the past
five pears would have built the Pana-
ma canal four times over.
For tho five year period, careless
use of electricity is said by insurance
men to be the chief cause of Ameri
can fires. All Of this is preventable
Of course, and does not argue for re-
duced use of electrical appliances. Care
lessness with matches and with pipes
cigars and cigarets stands a close Sc
cond to electricity. Defective chin
neys and flues hold third place. Fol
lowing these. in the order named, the
main causes of American fires were
stoves, furnaces, and boilers; spon

taneous combustion, lightning, sparks
on roofs, petroleum and it's products.
Firecrackers and fireworks, formerly
a cause of very many fires and thou
sands OF injuries and deaths, during
the past five years have been held re-
sponsible for fire damage amounting
TO only $1,499,S54. which is not high
figure compared with the total IRE
loss.
The state Of New York led all other
states in the amount of loss sustained
through conflagrations. Pennsylvania
came second, Illinois third, New
Jersey, fourth and Massachusetts fifth.
Well up among the leaders were the
states of Ohio, Texas California Michi-
gan Minnesota, Missouri and Georgia.
Fires occur in the United States at
the rate 1900 every day-an average
Of more than one every minute day
and night. This tremendous unneces-
sary loss of national wealth is so seri-
Gus that the President of the United
States and several state governors
have issued proclamations calling at
tention to the necessity of care.
Ordinary care is far more effica-
Gus means of battling the fire demon
than all the fire companies in the
world, once a blaze gained Roadway.
For some curious reason the Amer-
can people generally require some aw-
full object lesson before sufficient in
terest can be aroused to correct public
evils. The Iroquois Theatre fire had
to occur before the people of this
country demanded and secured proper
theatre exits. The Great doors of the
Iroquois. opening inward, were jam
med shut by the panic-striken crowd,
trapping hundreds of patrons of the
theatre in the flames.
Remember Chicagos Fire
But even great fire catastrophes
seem to be forgotten all too soon in
the United States. Building regula-
tons are loose or disregarded in many
cities. Carelessness seems to mold
sway strong as ever, despite scores
of terrible examples Of what it costs.
Even in his own home, representing
the savings of years, perhaps, the
American citizen continually runs the
risk of fire without giving it a second
thought Rubbish will be piled high
in the attic or cellar, or perhaps in an
unused closet. A mouse gnawing a
match left in the pocket of an old coat
often will mean the destruction OF fhe
home.
