IRONS CAUSE FIRES
Chief O'Brien Issues Safety Warning
TO City Housewives.

According to Fire Chief John j.
OBrien. some Of the chief causes of
fires is electric irons and other cleo
trio household appliances Most
fires traced to this origin are due to
faulty wiring and careless use, he
said.
The increase in fire loss has in
creased from S16,559,4S in 1916 to
over 10000, 600 in 1921. The great
hazard of the electric iron IS that
the current is left turned on when
the iron is not in use, Chief O'Brlen
said.
OF the 206 electrical fires reported
in a typical week, seventy-six showed
the effect of tampering with wiring
to make extensions, according to
Chief OBnen.

IT Is significant that with all the complaint about

raado no declaration that It would do anything to
remedy these conditions. The Republican State
platform strangely silent the question. On the
other hand the Democrats met the issue squarely

Hamilton said that while Beck has

Sheridan and Hamilton, who have
had engineering training, said they

that installation of automatic stokers
and changes in stacks would be nee
essary only in extreme cases. Even
automatic equipment will produce
smoke unless it is properly handled,
