Keep Christmas Merry

Tsw people realize 1t. but the ordi-
nary Christmas tree is one Of the
most fiammable objects known.
It Is nlled with pitch and resin.
Once ignited. q Christmas tree is
almost impossible to extinguish.
Tests at Underwriters Laboratories
show that an average-size tree takes
less than two minutes to burn up;
such q tree can easily start . roaring
blaze in your house before you have
time to call the fire department.
The National Board Of Fire Un-
derwriters' engineers have devised
the following simple rules, which, II
followed, will make your Christmas
tree safe:
1. Choose . small tree, instead Of
q big one. Remember, q small tree
can be as beautiful Is q large one,
as well as being much less hazardous
2. Do not set up the tree until q
few days before Christmas. Keep
the tree outdoors until ready to in
stall 1t.
3. Place the tree in the coolest
part Of the house. II necessary, shut
of the radiator closest to the tree.
LIDO not, under any circum-
stances, use cotton or paper for
decoration on the tree or around the
tree.
IS. Do not place electric trains
Around the tree.
6. Use only electric lights (never
use candles) and see that all Of the
wires are In good condition and not
frayed. Those which have been in
spected by Underwriters Labora-
tories have paper band around the
wire or a statement on the box.
| 7. Provide q switch some distance
from the tree for turning the electric
lights off and on. Do not plug or
unplug the lights beneath the tree.
8. Do not leave tree lights burning
when no one is in the house. From
time to time inspect the tree and see
whether any of the needles near the
lights have started to turn brown
If so, change the location Of the
lights.
8. When the needles start falling,
take the tree down and discard it.
If 1t Is desired to keep the tree up
for q few days longer, do not keep
the tree lighted more than half an
hour at a time.
II decorations are used about the
house, do not permit them to be
around or near to chairs and other
places where people may smoke. It
is preferable to have them up near
the ceiling, well above the head Of
any one standing up.
