Fire Chiefs Appeal for Caution

vile, Center Line, Fraser made
personal appeals TO the residents
of their fire prevention areas.
LOSS is HEAVY
They pointed out that OF the
10000 people annually killed by
fire 1000 lose their lives in
dwellings. Fire losses in the
United States in 1913 were Sl5,-
l55,4l6.08, and the 1914 loss is
expected to be higher.
Fire Chief Eckhout, Of St.
Clair Shores, pointed out that
one life was lost in that village
so far during 1914 due to fire,
and the 1913 property loss from
fire was S2l, 005.
Calling attention 10 the many
fire hazards, most of them the
result of carelessness, Chief
Eckhout listed the cause of 1877
fires in the village as follows:
Automobile and truck tires,

Arrest Five
Juveniles
in Hot Car

VAN DYKE - Warren town
ship police Monday afternoon
apprehended five juveniles, in
a stolen automobile in a field
between Lorraine and Toepfer
avenues in Warren township.
One of the five youths ad-
mitted TO township police that
he had stolen the car along with
another boy, who escaped from
the police Saturday night from
Packard avenue in Van Dyke.
The car belonged to Edward
Wroblewski, of $3.50 Westwood
avenue, Detroit, who was visit
ing a friend in Van Dyke, ac-
cording to the township police
AS no report was made by
the car owner that it had been
stolen, police were unaware of
the theft until they questioned
the youths. Township police on
Monday afternoon, received a
report from Packard avenue
resident who said that an auto
mobile was travelling in that
neighborhood at a high rate Of
speed. Three patrd cars we're
sent out, police said. and the car
recovered in the field with the
five youths.
Four of the five juveniles ap-
pretended apparently did not
kno' they were riding in a stol-
en- car, police said, as they said
they were picked-up in the be-
lief that they were going to a
pool hall.
The boy that escaped was
identified to police by the
youths as Leonard German,
about II years old, five feet and
10 inches in height dark hair;
usually wearing a red leather
jacket, khaki or green striped
trousers, and frequented the
Motor City Theater and pool
rooms.

ISSUES WARNING
Warren Township Chief Van
Hulle, at a recent meeting OF
regular and volunteer firemen
called attention to the fact that
the season of house fires is now
at hand, and warned against
loss of life and destruction of
property this winter.
Just plain carelessness alone
is probably the greatest cause
of fires,s stated the chief, as ne
related how people will en-
deavor 10 quicken or start a fire
with kerosene and even gasoline.
If those people could only real
ize that there is enough eXplo-
sive power in a thimble full of
gasoline or a glass Of kerosene
TO knock them into kingdom
come, they would probably think
twice before taking the risk"
He stated that too many fires
occur from faulty chimneys, old
pipes, pipes filled with SCOT, and
improper insulation h r o. & h
walls and roofs. He further stat
ed, Before lighting base burn
ers, furnaces or whatever type
of heater is used in house, a
thorough check should be made
TO see that the system is in per-
feet condition otherwise cost
ly fire may result"
Van Hulle continued, when
we read about several thousand
soldiers or marines losing their
lives and of thousands more be-
ing wounded, we shudder and
wish this war would stop right
now. However, We seem to pay
little attention to the fact that
fires take an average Of 10000
lives each year and injure that
many more, and that goes on
every year"
Chief Van Hulle stated that
most usually it is women and
little children who become the
victims Of fires and many carry
ugly scars for the rest of their
lives.

Fire Prevention Week was be-

A strong appeal by Gov. Har-
~ Kelly highlighted the states
Fire Prevention Week observ-
ance. In part, the governors
proclamation read:
Our enemies overseas are
falling back before the on
slaught of Allied war might, but
there is one enemy that still
shows no signs of yielding - the
homefront enemy FIRE. Recent
cstsstrophes of fire and eXpio-
sion have taken a heavy toll OF
American lives and every year
many thousands of our citizens
suffer cruel death or injury from
fire.
To-day, more than ever be-
fore, it is the duty Of all private
citizens as we'll as constituted
authorities to do their utmost TO
stop this needless sacrifice of
human lives and this waste of
our vital resources, and particu-
larly TO safeguard all material
required by our soldiers on
every battle front"
