MANY FIRES DUE
T0ELECTR|C IRONS
CareIessness in Operation
by Leaving Current on
Is Scored.

One Of the chief causes of the rapid
increase in the number of dwelling
fires, with resultant danger to wom-
en- and children. is the multiplication
of domestic electric devices, and es-
pecially of electric irons. Most OF
these fires are due to defective in
stallation and carelessness in opera
tion. 1t is evident that the public
must be educated on these hazards,
especially as regards changes in the
wiring and leaving the current on
irons not in use, and that the au-
thorities should improve their elec-
trical inspection methods. loss of
$25,O0O,OO0 a year from electrical fires,
with hundreds of deaths, schlehy
among women and children, is too
heavy a toll to pay for the American
habit of carelessness.
One of the remarkable developments
of modern life has been the increase
in the use of domestic electrical ap-
pliances Housewives are looking for
every possible laborSaVing device,
because of the difficulty in securing
help; the appliance manufacturers are
advertising widely, in order TO sell
their devices and the electric light
plants are also pushing their use as
a. means of increas sing the sale of cur
rent. The result has been to intro
duce many serious electrical hazards
into millions of homes, with a nat
ural increase in the proportion OF
fires due to electrical causes from
Sl6.559.433 in 1916 to $20,7S0.307 in
1918, while it is estimated that the
loss in 1919 was s25,000,00O. Most OF
these were in homes, with serious
danger to the lives OF women and
children.
Reports on $40 Fires.
The National Board of Fire Under
writer's, which has been tabulatlng
the causes of fires, investigated the
electrical fires reported during a
typical week recently and found that
of $40 fires 252 were caused by nat
irons, SO by defective cords and 2O6
by all other causes. The great haz-
ard of electric fiat irons is that they
are so frequently left standing with
the current on, and although numer-
Gus devices have been developed to
prevent this. they have not yet been
made foolproof. Misuse of properly
installed electric cords by amateur
electricians is also cause or fires

fires tabulated during the typical

over the background of the brick,
which could be varied into attractive
patterns by different arrangement of
the brick bond. AS consequence,
main, three different types of bond
which are used at the present day,
with various notifications, to secure
attractive effects in pattern.
The first and most obvious of these
bonds is what is called running or
made up of stretcher courses. hav-
ing at the corners a header which
appears as stretcher on the return
side. This bond has the merit of be-

quently. 1t is modified into what is
called common or American bond by
laying a course of headers about
every sixth course. AS a type of
running bond, headers instead of
Is very slight structually, 1t should
not be laid except for panels or, other
ornamental effects. The headers may
also be laid without any bond at all,
in order to secure reticulated or
Checkerboard effect.
The method of using headers, as in
common or American bond, in order
to secure transverse strength of wall
can be treated In a way to produce
very much more pleasing effects, as

Flemish bonds.
The English bond is made up of al
ternating courses of Stretchers and
headers. This produces a very pleas
ing series of Greek crosses and ripple
lines up and down the surface of the
wall, and the English brick builders
claim for 1t the great merit of CIV
ing transverse strength to the wall.
1t, however. has a certain monotony
that has lead to a modification which
greatly beauties it as pattern by
breaking the joints of the successive
stretcher courses. This is called Eng
lish cross. or Dutch, bond and results
in a very attractive pattern in the
wall of Greek crosses running IL
diagonal lines.
Various Notifications.
The Dutch bond differs from the
English cross bond only in the way
the corners of the wall are treated.
The Flemish bond is secured by lay
ing each course in alternate stretch
ers and headers, the header resting
upon the middle of the stretcner In

BOND In BRICKWORK PREVENTS
WEAKNESSES IN HOUSE WALLS

Bond in briofwork is the overlap
ping of the brick one upon the other.
either along the length OF the wall
or through its thickness, in order to
bind them together in a secure
structural mass. 1t is true mortar Is
used to cement the brick together
into a monolithic whole, but the real
bond is the overlapping Of the brick.
which the mortar serves to maintain.
A glance at any brick wall will make
this clear, so far. at least, as the
outer surface of the wall is con-
cerned. 1t will be seen that the brick,
instead of resting directly -one above
the other, are shifted back and forth,
so that the vertical joints in two
successive layers, or courses" do not
como into line. We speak of this
arrangement as breaking the joint.
In dealing with brick bond two
terms are constantly recurring, wiz,
"stretcher" and header" When a
brick Is laid lengthwise of the wall,
thus showing its long. narrow dimen-
sion, or face" on the surface, 1T is
called a stretcher If its length ex-
tends back into the wall, so that its
short dimension shows on the sur
face, it is called a header.
Terms Are Defined.
The stretcher secures strength in
the length of the wall The header
serves to form the transverse bond
that is, the strength of the wall
throughout it's thickness. When a
brick is broken, as the case may
require, the fragment is called a
"bat" While at certain points of
the wall these bats may be neces-
sary, they should be sparingly used
and then only according to the best
practices of the craft.
In the old days, and, indeed, up to
comparatively recent times, brick
bond was used only structurally-
that is, to secure the strength of the
wall as a solid mass-but in the
seventeenth century European build
ers began to see an artistic possibil-
ity in the bond as 1t appeared on the
surface. They began to see the fine
tracery of the mortar joint running

records OF one of the important elec-

irons, Is per cent had toasters, 10 per

of Electrical Inspectors Is seeking to
reduce this hazard by education of
the public on the Importance of proper

SIMPLE CUTTERS BEST.
Great Variety, However. in Kinds
Now Being Used.

There are a great many different
kinds Of cutters. Some are boxed in
with the roof. Some hang at the
edge of the caves. The simplest
kind is always the best. It is\almost
invariably true that the open type
of gutter called the hanging gut
ter" is the most efficient and the
least expensive. 1t can be repaired
with less expense than any other
type. If 1t should happen to leak the
water falls away from the building.
1t costs less to put it UP and less to
keep it in repair than any other type.

he did not believe that the motion
picture industry was developing into
such wonderful art that it was
crowding out the legitimate stage,
nor did he think it was an evidence
of the general degeneraCy of the mod
erns. He praised it as an agency
for the presentation of simple picto-
rial narratives such as Robin Hood, s.

He brought ont the fact that the
industry was Young. the first picture
