Less than a month ago the head of
the Bofors concern announced that
it had contracts for delivery of

In striking contrast with this it is
reported that the demand for agricul-

CAUSES OF FIRES
GIVEN BY CHIEF
Watson Believes Fire Pre-

by Study of Experiences.

Fire Chief Watson believes the
best way to prevent fire during the
coming year is to study the condi-
tions that caused most of the fires
last year.
The merchant and the homeowner
do not have time to go deeply into
the causes of fire. but glance at the
following facts obtained today from
Chief Watson will give property
owners an idea of what to guard
against. 1.-The principal causes of
fire in Washington last year included
the following:
Causes Of Local Fires.
"Hot ashes placed In wooden con-
tainers or against woodwork, 80 fires.
Automobiles (backfiring, short
circuiting, carburetor or gasoline
igniting), 304 fires.
Brush, grass and trash burning,
2S9 fires.
DIRTY and defective chimneys, 255
fires.
Electric appliances, IS fires.
Grease igniting on stoves, 81 fires.
Careless use of gasoline. 81 fires.
Careless use of matches, 276 fires.
Careless smoking, 279.

prevent fires as it does to extinguish
them after they start. He has adopt

In his last annual report he ex-
pressed tf.e hope that the force of in

look for conditions that might lead
to fire and direct the occupants to
correct them.
