by the news OF a holocaust at Babb's
Switch, Oklahoma, when a Christ
mas tree caught fire from decora-
tive candles and the resulting fire
burned to death thirty-six and SER
iously injured or burned forty more
of the men, women and children
gathered in the one-story frame
school house for the annual festival.
Twenty bodies were buried in one
grave as they could o be identi-
fled. Every year lesser tragedies
mark the holiday and firemen have
come to dread the day, knowing the
inevitable prospect of fire and death
at a season when joy and security
ought to be universal, unmarried
by needless suffering.
The observance of the few simple
precautions given below will re-
move most of the hazard:
1. Dc not use paper cotton or
other inflammable decorations I'M
less they have been treated with
fire retardent. Test a sample with
a match and If it burns do not use
it. By all means do not use in
flammable decorations on electric
wiring, fixtures or light shades.
Metallic tinsel, being a conductors
of electricity, is also unsafe in SINH

CHRISTMAS A HOLIDAY
FOR POSTAL employees

If Postmaster General New has
his way about it, Christmas Day.
this year is going to be the biggest
and best for all the employees of the
postal service and especially for
the ever-faithful letter carriers.
He has issued orders to post
masters throughout the country that
their offices will be closed all day
Christmas except for the dispatch
of special delivery letters and par
cells and special handling letters
and parcels.
In order that the vast army of
carriers and clerks may enjoy Christ
mas Day to the fullest extent with
their families and friends, the CO.
operation of every man, women and
child in the United States will be
necessary.
Under the leadership Of the Post
master General a campaign is
under way throughout the country
to instill into the minds of every
body the necessity for shopping
and mailing early in order that
there will be as little congestion
at the post offices as possible dur
ing Christmas week and in order
that both the sender and receiver
of gifts and remembrance may
reap the happiness that is o IN
templated by such an exchange of
presents.
Once more the Post Office De-
partment urges the American pub
lie to do its Christmas shopping
and mailing early. 1t the shopping
is done now the buyer gets just
what he or she wants and if the
gift is mailed before December Is
it is sure to reach its destination
in plenty of time before Christmas
Day.

WHAT THE HOME DEMON
STRATION AGENT DID 1925
(Miss Marjorie Eells)

Having just finished making out
annual reports we thought the
people in the county might like to
know how we spent u time and
and where SO the following is a
short summary of the work we have
done in the past year.
Clothing has always been our
most popular project and there
have been more demands for that
than for any other project. We
gave more demonstrations on the
cleaning and use of the sewing
machine and attachments, made
and showed four groups of women
how to check up their forms. how
to alter them If the measurements
were not correct. and how to use
them in fitting patterns, lining coats
and making underwear. We have
drafted and made kimona dress pat
terms for twenty-eight women and
have showed forty-three women how
to make and trim summe dresses
and house dresses.
At Irma Flat we gave a demon
stration on tying and dyeing and
a talk to the womans Club in
Cody on textiles and tests for cot
ton, wool and silk
Last spring we had hat making
groups in ten communities and the
women made sixty-six hats with
a total saving which added up to
$1O6.64.
I We have also given childrens
clothing in a number of communi-
ties and have helped eighty-four
women to make little girls dresses
and thirty women in the boys clio
thing project This winter we ex-
pect to give work in making chill
dren's coats.
The girls too like to do clothing
work and last spring we enrolled
1874 girls in sewing stubs at Pow
ell, Garland. Penrose. Pioneer and
Meeteetse. Each girl was required
to make four or five articles of
clothing under the supervision Of
her local leader. One hundred and
fourteen of these girls completed
their sewing and have sent in rec
ords of their work.
Miss Sherman. our nutrition spec
ialist gave several demonstrations
early last spring at Powell. and
Sage creek on the use and cooking
of vegetables, fruits, cereals and
milk, the home demonstration agent
followed this with demonstrations
on fruits and vegetables in seven
other communities and expects to
do more nutrition work newt wear
We also gave three cheese making
demonstrations and -four in canine
and ~ielly-making.
The girls canning club Of which
Mrs. Edmonds of Powell was lead
err reported that they had canned
ass quarts of fruits. vegetables and
meats.
Twelve pressure cookers were or
dered thru the Home demonstration
agent at a saving to the women
of $4,000.
The leaders camp for women wa'
held at Wood River for three
DAYS in July was the first CAM
of it's kind we have held in thi.
county, thirtv-two leaders from five
counties were there IT camr and on
loved the recreation and the worl
which had been planned for them
We hope to make this camn IN an
nual event which more women cal
look forward to.

lar locations because of the danger
Of a short sircuit.
2. Do not use candles If 1t is
possible to substitute electric tree
lights. When buying these light
ing sets get those made in America
and approved by the city electrical
inspector or the Underwriters Lab
o%ratories. Beware of imported for
eign units, because they almost al
ways are nearly as hazardous as
candles.
3. Fasten the tree securely to the
floor or to a wide. substantial base
to prevent o%verturning. Most of
the ready made bases are far too
small.
4. Have a large chemical fire ex-
tinguisher, or two buckets of water
with dippers. near every Christmas
tree, especially if candles are used.
These are needed particularly when
crowds are present in churches,
schools, etc.. but no one who values
his home or the lives of his family
will neglect them. A garden hose
attached to a kitchen or bath room
faucet will generally reach any part
of the home. Keep it coiled in
a convenient place for quick use.
---5. Never place candles where
children can reach them, either di-
rectly or by pulling at the tree or
table covering.
6. Do not place lighted candles
in windows where there are cur
fainS nr nfhnr dronnrfaC OF ooro
mon sense outweigh your desire for
a dangerous spectacle.
z. Avoid toys which require or
invite the use of fire. Preference
should be given electrical toys US
ing current from dry batteries ra-
Their than those connecting to the
house lighting system.
8. Do not connect Christmas tree
lights or other temporary lights to
a house lighting circuit If 1t will
result in an overload. No branch
lighting circuit should have a fuse
with a rating higher than fifteen
amperes. The number is marked
on the plug. If the 15-ampere
fuse blows out, the curcuit is in
a dangerous condition and a COM
petent electrician should be con-
suited.
3. These suggestions apply as
well to mercantile establishments
as to homes or other places. Stores
are usually lax in housekeeping
during the holidays because of the
rush. Accumulation of packing ma
terial and rubbish are always dan
gerous but are more so during the
holidays when crowds are larger,
more smokers are present and other
hazards are increased or neglected
10. Remove all trees and lee
orations Immediately after Christ
mas as they dry out rapidly and
become almost as inflammable as
g%unpowder.
IL. Remeber that no one normal
ly expects to have a fire. You are
probably no different from all those
who have had fires. You may be
the next. Follow these suggestions
Plan now, in advance, as tho you
knew there would be a fire. Place
your tree where it will cause the
least damage If fire occurs and
where 1t will not block a quick
exit on the part of the observers.
Locate the nearest fire alarm box.
Learn how to turn in a fire alarm
either by telephone or fire alarm
box. See that a cool headed adult
is present at all times to take
charge in an emergency. Never
leave children alone with candles
lighted or with fire in any form.
Do these things and you may pre-
vent the occurance of another Xmas
horror.
