Surprised At Wykoff
One of the chief topics of the vii

dashes and that Gene Venzke didn't
win place in the 300 meter run.

SUGGESTIONS ON
FIRE PREVENTION
BY CHIEF BAKER
cooPERATES WITH NATION
AL BOARD OF UNDERWENT
Frs IN WARNINGS AGAINST
FIRE IN DIFFERENT WAYS

For safety's sake during the
holiday season, Fire Chief Harry
Baker joins the National Board of
Fire Underwriters in making sug-
gestions to prevent destruction OF
property and endangering life.
In series of "Don'ts" publish
ed as a guide to folks there is set
forth number of commonly pre-
valent conditions at this season
that should be avoided.
Especially is the careless use of
electrical wiring mentioned. Smok-
ing near Christmas trees. The use
of paper, cotton or celluloid orna-
ments. Allowing children the use
of toys requiring gasoline, kero-
sene or alcohol.
In using the small moving pic
ture machines be sure that the film
is that known as acetate film,
which is safety film. The other
known as nitrocellulose, is highly
inflammable and while burning re.
leases fumes that can and may
cause death.
One thing particularly stressed
by Chief Baker is the necessity of
removing trees, especially rssinous
ones such as pine and fir, right
after Christmas. They soon be-
come dry and in this condition are
readily set on fire by some bit OF
carelessness or thoughtlessness on
the part of q child or grown per-
son.
And last but not least use no
lighted candles on the trees. In
this electrical age, when small null
ticolored bulbs can be bought, OF
hired. for a small sum, there should
be no need for endangering life
and property by the use of candles,
which have been the case of many
disastrous fires and loss of lives.
