CHRISTMAS WARNING

1t has been the annual policy Of
the fire marshals office to warn peo-
ple of the dangers of fire during the
Christmas celebration. Among the
many dangers that have heretofore
|supplanted Christmas enjoyment
with sorrow and gloom in many fam
lilies, are: Burning candles on
Christmas trees or among other
combustible decorations; using fire.
works in an unsafe or careless way.
where sparks may fall into COM
bustible materials; open lights in
windows. likely to ignite. curtains,
etc: lighting matches or cigarettes
near Christmas trees or decorations
using loose cotton for snow, etc.
One carelessly discarded match or
cigarette may start a fire that de-
stroys your home. See that all
Smokes" are safely disposed of
Keen matches away from small
children
Teach everyone how to smother
fire in clothing by wrapping with a
blanket or rug.
Millions of dollars and thousands
of lives have been lost every year on
account OF cdfPl6SSHeSS with IRE.
Many fires could be prevented if
people would Just be q little more
careful, Because people are so care
less and thoughtless, they do not
take time to take the proper pre-
cautions
Fire extinguishers. water buckets
or garden hose. kept always ready
and used quickly. may be worth
more than the entire fire depart
ment ten minutes later EQUIP
your home for fire fighting.
Don't fail to remove all package
Wrappings, decorations, Christmas
trees, etc, from your dwelling
promptly after they have served
their purpose
These warnings have been issued
by this department every year, but
we sometimes wonder if people pay
any attention to them Remember
the old saying, can ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound Of cure
This applies to the yuletide season
more than to any other time of the

TlHE studio couch is coming into
Il it's own in the modern home.
Twentieth century hospitality in
cludes the ability to ask guests to
stay the night even though the
apartment be small and only one
bedroom available. This accounts
for the extraordinary sales of
studio couches and the transforma-
tion of the living room itself into
a combination studio-bedroom. Sug-
gested below are a few ideas to
incorporate the studio couch into
a lounging nook by daytime and
destroy none of its advantages as
an emergency bed.
A framework of rough 2 sea-
soned lumber is built to the neces-
sary size. This is then covered with
pressed wood and trimmed at the
joints with ordinary decorative
moulding obtainable from any lum-.
ber dealer. Book shelves, radio,
liquor or linen compartments can
be built into the end sections and
it is well to include also on the top
of each end section an electrical

socket for lamps. In the unit pic
tured here, the back is hinged at
the bottom and swings down and
open to allow the storage Of blan-
kets, sheets, pillows. Units of this
type can also be constructed to
make use of extra box spring and
mattress of either standard or spe-
cial size. A midwestern hotel was
recently remodeled and refinished
and leather divans were fitted into
units of tfis type in modern pri-
vate dining rooms.
Pressed wood is suggested for
use here because 1t is easy to
handle and offers none of the join
ing and finishing problems of regu-
lar lumber. 1t can be purchased in
sheets up to x IL feet and the sur
face is smooth and it needs no
finishing. 1t can be painted to fit
the general color scheme of the
room, but the rich, brown luster
Of the fabricated wood offers a de-
lightful combination with other
colors either in harmony or
contrast.

Chevrolet Makes
DriUe To Get Rid
OF All Old Autos

DETROIT, Mich, an 2-Chevro-
let Motor Company started the new
year with a 100000 cooperative
plan to help move its dealers stocks
of used cars, and to retire unworthy
vehicles from the highways OF the
country, it was announced here to-
day by M. E. Coyle, president and
general manager of the company.
Beginning on New Years Day
and continuing throughout January
Mr.. Coyle said, two important spe-
cial activities run concurrently.
First: Chevrolet will pay to the
dealer $4,000 for every old automo'
bile accepted in trade on a new OF
used carr that he disposes OF by
scrapping or junking.
Second: Chevrolet will pay q
bonus to statesmen whose efforts en-
able their leadership to sell more
used cars in January than it sold IN
the same month of 1885.
Mr.. Coyle disclosed the plan
when he was asked what lay before
the automotive industry in the new
year. After briefly reviewing 1885
commenting on it's SIS, OO0, 900 ex-
pansion of Chevrolet production IA
cilities, and its increased sales OF
cars and trucks, Mr.. Coyle declared
that the progress made by Chevro-
let in the past year in raising the
standards of used car merchandls-
ing was probably the most note
worthy development from the point
of view of the dealer.
