PHELPS z; RHlNELANDER 0

It was a real ball game at Phelps
Sunday when the team from that town
cleaned up the Rhinelander Indepen-
dents to 0. Notwithstanding the ap-
parent one sidedness of the score, it
was far from being one-sided game.
For the first seven innings it was a
tie, 0 to 0. Alright ball was the order
of the day. Not an error was made on
either side throughout the whole nine
innings. Nip and tuck all the way thru
until Phelps went to bat in the seventh
Then that snappy little team pulled a
seventh inning rally which started the
ball a rolling. And they added few
more in the eighth, in the meantime
holding their opponents down to the
cipher until time was called.
Paul and Casey, the Phelps battery,
were in fine form, the big boy getting
IA strikeouts to his credit and allow
ing but three hits. Carroll pitching
for Rhinelander, with Bonnie on the
receiving end, got elgnt StrIke-outs and
was holding Phelps we'll nigh hitlless
until that fatal seventh and eighth.
Eleven hits are chalked up against the
paper mill city pitcher. Each hurler
allowed but one pass.
! 1t was a game worth going long
way to see and the full house that
attended will be there strong next
Sunday to see the two teams clash
again. Rhinelander is determined to
even things up at the next meeting.
Phelps is equally as determined that
it shall not happen, and right there
you have all the dope that is neces
sary for corking good game of ball

Gasoline Is Dangerous
Unless Rightly Handled
FIFTEEN MILLION GALLONS or
GASOLINE CONSUMED DAILY
IN THIS COUNTRY

The American Petroleum Institute
states that last year 5.382.OOO.OOO gal
Ions of gasoline we're consumed in
this country, chiefly for fuel and mo-
tive power.
In view of this wide use by a motor
iously careless people, it is, perhaps, a
wonder that the loss of life and prop
erty from gasoline is not heavier.
Safeguarding America Against Fire
gives this description of gasoline: So
long as gasoline is kept under con-
troll, it will do mans work But let 1t
escape and it will kill and burn.
though aanY ATous, nothing even slight
lY 1llye us attaches to its proper
ties or its power. The laws that gov
ern the behavior of gasoline are famil
lar. Like kerosene it is derived from
crude petroleum, but is far more
volatile; that is, it vaporizes more
rapidly. This vapor is not like some
lighter gases, disseminated in the at
mosphere. Being heavier than air this
vapor will settle to the floor and flow
along like the water Of a stream, fill
ing every hole and depression. There
Eit remains for days, If there is no cur
rent of air to dispe1 it, lurking men
ace, unseen and unsupported, until a
chance spark or flame touches it off.
Proper ventilation preferably forced,
is therefore essential in any place
where gasoline is used and stored.
This propensity of gasoline fumes to
seek the lowest level renders especial
| " hazardous the garage pit provid
ed for convenience in working under
meath car
Many fatal explosions have occurred
in these pits. In newer garages, an
overhead, open-track runway takes the
place of the dangerous pit.
In vapor form gasoline expands SO
enormously that one gallon will pro-
duce many hundreds of cubic feet of
gas. Properly mixed with air, this gas
is more explosive and powerful than
dynamite, and is more easily fired.
The vapor from one gallon of gasoline
has as much destructive power as 8S
pounds of dynamite.
Where gasoline is stored and handl
ed it is well-nigh impossible to pre-
vent the escape of fumes, so that rules
against smoking and carrying open
] lights should be strictly enforced.
Using matches or lanterns to ascer-
tain the quantity of gasoline in a tank
causes many explosions. Smoking
around garages and in dry-cleaning
rooms has brought many disastrous re
suits. This is also true of using gaso-
line for cleaning in doors.
The Standard Oil Company has plac-
ed over many of its service stations
the needed warning: Stop your motor
Better be safe than sorry
Static electricity and sparks from
iron tools and horse shoes have fire
quently exploded this deathIy mixture
of gasoline vapor and air.

CEMETERY BOARD
DOES GOOD WORK

OF the many improvements noted
in Eagle River in the past few years
there are none more striking and
pleasing than the appearance of the
Eagle River Cemetery. For many
years its management and upkeep was
solely in the hands of individuals
who were interested because of tie
graves of relatives or friends there
AS a whole it bore a neglected ap.
pearance as every cemetery does un-

ment and control.
Last year an association was form
cd working under the authority con
ferred by the state laws. 1t made an
effort to enroll as large a member
ship as possible from lot owners, us
ing the funds. secured to hire a care
taker and supply the necessary tools
for keeping the grounds in condition.
The results last year we're more than
satisfactory and this year man has
been steadily employed to keep the
grounds moved closely, including
the streets and alleys and all lots
occupied. A visit out there this week
found it looking nicer than it ever
has before and the marked change
over the former state is one appre-
ciated by every one who has loved
ones of their family lying there. As
a result, the graves are more care
fully looked after as the number of
potted plants and fresh flowers
plainly indicate. The cemetery does
credit to Eagle River now and is a
sign of civic progress that every
passerby can comment on with appro
val and mention as a place where
the dead are shown the respect due
them by the town in which they lived
and helped to build.

available, the association plans for a
complete installation of a watering
