Ghozi's Crash Death
Much Like That of
Col. Lawrence
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BAGHDAD, April 4.-King
Ghazi, killed last night in
an automobile accident while
speeding to his ornate palace
of Flowers, met much the same
death as his hero, Lawrence of
Arabia"
Col. Lawrence, the famous
British agent who forsook
honors to become "Aircraftsman
Shaw" in the Royal Air Force,
met a violent end when he was
thrown over the handlebars of
a motor cycle he was driving at
high speed down a lonely Eng
lish road May 10, 1885.
Ghazi never had met Col.
Lawrence, who was a close
friend of his father. the late
King Feisal, but he always had
admired Lawrence's spectacular
exploits.
When Col. Lawrence died,
Ghazi was grief f-stricken. He
said: "It is particularly poign-
ant that a man of such dis
tinction should meet death in a
motor cycle accident after
surviving countless perils Of
desert warware."

Farm Fires
Very Costly

Farm fires take an annual toll
of $500 lives and S9O,O00,OOO worth
of property. One farm family in
every ten has suffered from ac-
cidental fires in the last five years,
as estimated by the National Fire
Waste Council. And the average
farm fire costs more than $500.
In addition to these direct losses
there are indirect losses, known to
be large even though no aggregate
figures are available. When fire
wipes out farmers home and
barn his insurance may aid him
III rebuilding the structures but
The expense and inconvenience in
volved in finding quarters for his
family, livestock and equipment
may mean a staggering loss.
There is much information on fire
hazards available to farmers from
insurance companies and fire pre-
vention and protection organiza-
tons, but all the literature ever
published will never save single
life or home unless the advice
given is used. A few things that
may be done by farmers to pre-
vent fires are the following:
l. Avoid placing wet crops in
Barns. Hay and other crops may
ignite spontaneously when moist
Watch for signs of heating and pro-
vide adequate Ventilation.
2. Provide necessary fire breaks
to protect exposed property and
fields from brush or grain fields.
3. Use a spray at the base Of
the blower during threshing to lay
the dust, prevent weed spread and
prevent Tres
4. Always remove rubbish from
house or barn and burn in a proper
incineratOr at a safe location.
5. Keep kerosense and gasoline
safely stored and in properly lab
eled receptacles, and use oil and
gasoline stoves with due care.
6. The use of kerosene in kindl-
ing stove fires kills hundreds of
persons each year and the use Of
irflammable liquids as cleaner
costs many lives Safe cleaning
fluids are available at moderate
cost.
7. Keep chimney flues clean and
protect wall and floor from stove
by metal or asbestos plate

dren.
g. Be sure to have electrical
equipment properly installed and
use appliances with due care. Avoid
the use Of badly worn electrical
cords.
10. Get rid of oily rags as they
ignite spontaneously. Keep waste,
rags and mops in metal contain
,EC.
In addition to correcting fire haz-
ards on their premises farmers
should also be prepared to control
such fires as may occur. Extinguish-
ers and small hose and ladder
equipment should be kept ready
to use before a fire can spread. If
there is rural fire department
with a pumping engine in the sec
ton, the farmer should provide
water supply by. damming a stream
or building a cistern If there is no
rural fire company in the section
steps should be taken to have one
organized.
