CAN CUT DOWN FIRE LOSSES
Abundant Proof That CareIessness Is
the Chief Cause Of Many Disas-
trous Confiagrations.

The Society for Electrical Develop
ment, dissatisfied with a recent re-
port Of the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters In which electricity was
blamed as the chief cause of fire losses,
has made an exhaustive examination,
taking the year 1919 as a basis. II
publishes in the Electrical World the
results of this investigation. The re-
port shows tina in 345 cities, with an
aggregate population of 2s,495,S51 per
sons, there were 13S,553 fires in 1919,
OF which those apparently of electric
origin numbered 3.56S, or 2.57 per
cent of the total.
Reginald Trautschold, writer Of the
report, remarks that "a large proper
tion of electric fires. II not the major
ity, are caused by careless disregard
of quite obviously necessary precau-
lions, such as leaving an electric fiat
iron with the current turned on upon
an infiammable ironing-board.' Though
fires resulting from such causes usual
ly cause only trifing damage, 1t is
easy TO see how they may result In
very serious co~nfiagrations.

FAIL TO RESPECT PROPERTY
Great Body of Americans Need Edu-

of Public Places.

The mental makeup of men and
women who scatter papers along the
highroads, who trample down growing
crops, who break down farmers
fences, and who are responsible fol
surrounding our woodland streams
with a beadwork of tomato ans is
quite easy 10 understand. Such peo-
pie are merely primitive i~ndividualists.
They have not vet advanced in civil
cation to a point where they can
visualize the property rights of others,
There is another group of wayfar-
ers which, though allied closely to the
first. We both dislike and cannot un-
derstand. This is the group which
not only scatters refuse over private
lands. but also LEAVES a trail, which
he who runs may read, over the land
belonging to cities. states and the ma

which each and every one of us has
m inalienable right. To scatter trash

must also build up, in the mind and

VIGILANCE WILL
Save CAR TIRES
Driver Should Realize Proper
Care Is important to Secure
Maximum Service.
GO EASY OVER ROUGH ROADS
Make Careful Examination at Least
Once Every Week and Seal Up
Small Holes With Cement
Avoid Wet Crushed Stones.

Tires are really wonderful pieces of
work 1t is remarkable that they
stand up as well as they do when
you consider the car weight, speed
and rough roads encountered. Yet
the average driver is apt to say that
tires make him tired-especially after
he has to invest in n or more. He
should realize their good qualities and
not think they should stand any
amount of abuse and still give maxi
mum service. Having learned this
proper respect, the next thing is n
proper care through their heightened
career.
To keep down the cost per mile
there are some things the owner must
do. The manufacturers of most tires
issue n pamphlet telling how the tire
is made and how to take care of it.
Get it and read carefully and follow
the advice given.
Look After Small Cuts.
But, despite your care, there will be
cuts In the rubber tread. Go over the
tires regularly once a week or oftener
and look for these cuts. Small ones
shOulu Dt Stilth VII ttiutHl DtlOTt
they get big. Larger cuts may need
the putty-like repair material to be
had of the supply dealer or may need
vulcanizing. But it should be at
tended to at once. Water will get into
the fabric and 1t rots in amazingly
short time, and Their vulcanizing does
no good, for the strength of the fabric
is gone. Sand works in as well as
water and makes ''blisters' alongside
the tread.
Pressure on tires should be kept
at h figure given by the manufacture
er. not by guessing, but by gauge,
and the reserve tire must be tested
the same as those in use. A car sys-
tematically overloaded will wear out
tires faster; procure oversize tires to
correct this evil.
Grease softens rubber. Keep the
tires free.
Fast driving heats the tires. with
faster wear, besides magnifying the
bumps and giving n side swing which
grinds the tires over the road.
' If the front wheels are out of
alignment il also grinds of the
tread.
A harsh clutch does the same thing
in starting abruptly, and brakes ap-
piled too rapidly also slide the
wheels.
Brakes ~unevenly adjusted cause
one tire to slide and grind.
Whirling around corners sometimes
makes all four tires slide, even when
there is no bad skid.
Here is a Good Tip.
On u wet day avoid roads where
crushed stone has been newly applied.
Rubber workers in all the v~ulcanizing
shops wet the knives with which they
cut the rubber. Wet tones with
sharp corners slice a tire like a
hnife.
Inner tubes puncture, but may be
patched easily with the handy kits
sold In tire stores, and there are
handy ~vulcanizlng outfits for larger
cuts which may be carried In the car.
BlowOuts should be taken to the vul-
canIzer. New methods enable the
expert to do wonders with tubes we
used to throw away.
The manufacturer 'ries to show you
how TO save tire cost, and along with
this the fellow who follows his advice
generally has less o troubles with
tires than he who neglects them per
s%istently.

The Men
Who Smoke

Why is it that the big men Of the
big countries are almost always smok-
ers? Isn't it because men who work on
nerve know the need OF something
that makes them let up and rest once
in a while between times?
That's what your pipe-smoker does.
He drops for a moment the matter
that is worrying him. He sinks into
an easy position, lights his pipe, and
after a few absent-minded, restful
puffs his mind swingc back on that
subject fresh and with a bang.
This habit must have something to
do with making great thinkers and
great fighters, for most OF them smoke,
and after a smoke-rest, something
breaks.
Take Einstein, the man who has
upset the world of philosophers by his
theories of time and space. 1t is said
that his ideas are so hard to under
stand that only a dozen people in the
world do understand them. We don't.
But we know that he must be a great
thinker; he must have to concentrate
for long, intense hours on his problems.
