Are TRAPPED

A tentative summary of trappers'
reports from the recent beaver season
indicates that approximately 1000 ami

Find Fire Hazard
High for Autos

Motorists will be shocked to
learn that proven records reveal a
total of over 100000 automobile
fires every year. Only q more
widespread use Of carrying fire ex-
tinguishers In cars will cut this
alarming rate. Paul Kearney writes
in the May issue of Cosmopolitan
magazine.
Naturally every sensible motor
ist has fire insurance. But it goes
without saying that if your car
catches fire AS miles or 450 miles
away from home. your policy won't
cover the vexation. inconvenience
and expense of getting back. On
top of all this there is the fire
hazard.
Fire Commissioner William A.
Reilly of Boston, Kearney says.
recently proposed that automobile
manufacturers equip all cars with
extinguishers. Commissioner Reilly
reveals that IL per cent of all Bos-
ton alarms are for automobile
fires. Independent studies in Buff
falo, Albany, Newark and Evans
vile confirm this ratio and claim
that 20 per cent of these automo-
bile fires occur in private cars.
