A liberal translation of the ancient

Sometimes, too, the quizzical look
caused by this trick eyebrow, upset
the risibles of your elders so much
that you went unpublished.
Perhaps even today you should be
spanked occasionally, but about all l
can do with you is to scold a little.
Seriously, though, your ideas might
produce something dramatic. Even
Joan of Arc attained the heights of

The careless use Of petroleum
and It's products is one Of our most
serious fire hazards. This classifi-
cation means, Of course. gasoline,
kerosene and other manufactures
Of the petroleum industry. The
yearly fire loss in the United States
amount to a little more than SILL
0OO, 600.
Gasoline is the most dangerous
Of these products. owing to its vola-
tility. which causes it TO vaporize
rapidly, and its gas. when mixed IN
proper proportion with air. becomes
highly explosive. II has a heavier
specific gravity than air and con-
sequentlr seeks always the lowest
level available. II accumulates IN
pockets or depressions in garages
or other places where gasoline IS
freely used. and for this reason the
so-called garage repair pit. unless
constantly ventilated, creates a Sc
we're fire and life hazard.
There have been instances with
out number where careless smok-
ers have ignited gasoline fumes
while the tanks OF their automo-
biles we're being replenished. The
housewife dry-cleans gloves or some
piece of wearing apparel, and ia
tai result often ensues. Friction
produced by rubbing silk garments
saturated with gasoline often Gre
ateS enough static electricity TO ig-
mite the fumes which arise.
Kerosene is less dangerous than
gasoline but under certain condi-
tions its vapors will explode and 1t
0uld always be treated with re-
spect. It is a common procedure
with many housewives TO speed up
a reluctant wood fire in the kitch-
en- stove by wetting the fuel with
kerosene. People sometimes follow
this practice for a good many years
without fatal results. but the rec
ords show that in many cases there

Orders to Dry Up City Are

BOSTON, oct. l0-Rl- Orders
we're out today TO dry up" Boston
as vets and drys engaged in bitter
debate to fix responsibility for liq-
conditions during the American
Legion convention which resulted IN
the deaths Of four and necessitated

been fined $3.50 in federal court for

said, had been treated in their out
patient departments. II was be-
lieved that the total treated since
last Saturday night would run close
10 600 persons.
Lewis denied having a hands off
policy for the legion convention
and said the arrest OF intoxicated
persons was purely a local police
function. He was explicit in not
blaming conditions on the legion
stating that II was apparent that
there had been an effort on the
part of liquor peddlers to capitalize
