occupies four large city squares, ex-

square is used for the building itself

Eastern holds the distinction of be-
ing the first high school in Washing

supplies plants for laboratory study,
and it also shows, for the biology
classes, the constant interrelation of
animals and plants. There are two
main gardens-one of native plants
just back of the greenhouse and an
other, larger and more formal to the
front and south. The latter is d.

Carelessness Causes
Many Home Fires
Industrial Commission Issues Warn
ing to Home Owners; Urges
Safety Precautions.

Home, Sweet Home" IS the song.
Why can it not also be a safe home?
1t is not so in Wisconsin. About
two-thirds of the fires of the state
are in places of human abode and
about one-half of the states fire loss
is on such buildings. The majority
cf deaths by fire are in homes and
fully three-fourths of those perish
ing in fires are women and children.
Fires in American homes occur at
the rate of 359 a day, one every
four minutes. At least three out of
every four need not start, as they
are due to carelessness solely which
can and should be corrected.
The home houses wife, children,
keepsakes and mementoes, every
thing most dear to the home owner,
and it is the one class of building
where carelessness and ignorance in
safety matters is most out of place
The home owner often knows that
the chimney IS defective, that it has
not been cleaned out for a long time
and is liable to burn out at any
moment, setting adjacent woodwork
or the shingle roof on fire, he knows
the roof is defective, old and moss
grown, he knows that the stove is
defective, that it has no stove board,
that it stands too close to a wood or
lath and plaster wall, that the
smoke-pipes are too close to unpro-
tected woodwork, he often forces the
fire and lets draughts wide open, he
knows that the basement, attic and
closets are storage places for rub
bish, easily ignited, he knows that
his good wife or the maid use kero-
sene to hasten a sluggish fire, that
! they use gasoline in the house for
/ cleaning purposes, that cloths and
stoves and smoke-pipes that wood is
/ left in the oven over night, that
1 children have free access to matches
at all time and use them to play and
| build bonfires, he knows that a good
rodding system would protect his
home from the lightning stroke, he
/ keeps his ashes in wooden boxes and
barrels and his family uses matches
or candles to hunt in some clothes
closet, he knows that paint rags and
! oily mops are not taken care of, he
also knows that he has no ladder to
reach the roof or to rescue those
dear to him from up stairs windows
| he knows he has no fire extinguisher
or any other first aid fire appliances
he knows all these things, yet true
to his American gambling spirit he
risks his home, the lives of those
near and dear to him, his all
With such stakes, it pays to play
safe, and safety needs only care, fore
thought and a little common sense
Let no verdict sacrificed on the al
tar of my carelessness" come to
trouble the home owner for the re-
mainder of his life.-Industrial
