that three-fourths of all dwell
ing-house fires in the United

Is evident that carelessness is

1t Is estimated that the an

piled to the erection of new

Quartered. 1t is said that q
dwelling fire occurs on an aver
throughout the entire year.
Unfortunately fires In homes
are often accompanied by loss
of life. Although the number
of lives sacrificed annually In
fires can only be approximated,
1t Is certain that half of the
thousands Of fatalities occur In
the homes, and that most of
those who lose their lives are
women and children.
The foremost cause OF DWELL
Ing fires are defective chimneys
and flues. Fires from these
sources are due to inferior
chimney construction and care
lessness in maintenance. Many
blazes have their inception in
sparks which come in contact
with woodwork through CHM
ney cracks and openings at the
roof line. Firm chimney foun-
dations and proper ffue Innings
of fire clay would eliminate
much Of this trouble.
