For Preventing Fires

Electricity alone caused an aver

Disorder and untidiness breed
fires. Careful attention should
therefore be given by the house

.'Ar open lights in . home should
be properly protected. Care should
be taken that curtains or other in

should be placed in front OF open
fire places so that no one can acct

Hot water. not fres should be

Every individual owes it to him

to use every means possible to re-
move the causes of fire in the home !.
He should realize that carelessness
or thou ghtlessness on his part may
not only deprive him of his property

Marcus Daw. general safety engin-
eer Of the New York Central lines
IN a safety address before the Ham
mond Kiwanis club at luncheon to-
day
Mr.. Daw. who is a very forceful
speaker. declared that in the cam
paign to promote caution among au-
tomobile drivers, the railroads of
the country had determined by an
accurate survey that only fifty per
cent of the motorists look both ways
when approaching a grade crossing.
He declared that as long s motor
lists drive blindly onto grade cross
ings there will be fatalities and
when they learn to exercise the ut
most caution there will be no more
horrible grade crossing killings.
CAMPAIGNS SUCCESSFUL
The speaker declared that great
good has been accomplished by the
safety campaigns in the Industries.
on the railroads and in the cities
of the country the past few years.
"If properly conducted a safety
campaign Will prevent accidents.
preserve human life, increase eff
cheney. eliminate waste in industry
and most important of all decrease
human suffering" said Mr.. Daw.
THE New York Central railroad,
after nine years of safety work has
cut death and injuries TO employees
through accidents to fifty per cent
by means of safety lectures, posting
of illustrated bulletins. motion pic
lures and safety committees.
st. Louis was the first big city to
make concerted campaign against
oarelessness on tho streets and in
other public places and as result
of its safety campaigns fatalities
due TO accidents were reduced by
one-half In 1917 there were thirty
seven people killed by automobiles
In St Louis and in 1921 there were
only fourteen, this despite the in
creased number of automobiles in
the city The total children killed
in ST Louis was reduced frow 25 in
1917 to IL in 1921.
TAKE NO CHANCES.
Always remember when you ap-
proach a grade crossing and there
is a moving train in sight that
there are only a few seconds be-
tween you and eternity If you at
tempt to pass over the tracks ahead
of the train
In closing. Mr.. Daw told the club
that it was just as important to
! save a life by teaching safety as it
was TO rescue a drowning man. a
life saved is a life saved" he de-
clared.
