CLOTHING. FABRICS, CAN
BE HONE EREPRO OFED

Fireproofing children's cloth
ing, rugs, window curtains, and
draperies, would go a long way
to reduce fire losses. The great
est fire hazards are ironing
boards, curtains and rugs near
stoves or flues, pot holders and
certain types of clothing.
Material may be given a fire
proof treatment with little Or
no effect on the color or ap-
pearance of the material. It is
inexpensive and provides ef-
fective fire resistance. Articles
that are washed should be fire
proofed after each washing.
To prepare the fire proofing
solution, use Z OF. of borax, 3
OF. of boric acid to two quarts
of hot water. Stir until the solu-
ton is clear. Put the dry ma
terial into the solution, wiring,
and hang up to dry. Iron with
a moderately hot iron when
the material is nearly dry. If
the fabric is too damp or the
iron too hot the borax will de-
post on the iron.

In Florida Put al
20 Million; 7 Dead
BY tho Associoted Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 20.
The hurricane that smashed
across Southern Florida left seven
dead, hundreds injured and prop
erty and crop damage estimated at
$40 100000, a survey showed today.
1t didn't set any record in dollar
loss. BY comparison, the winter
freeze of l945 damaged Florida s
crops an estimated $50,0Oo,0 900.
The worst toll appeared to be in
the area between Fort Lauderdale
and West Palm Beach. where the
storms center first struck. Pre-
liminary estimates placed the Palm
Beach damage at $4,000, 900.
Groves Still Under Water.
Citrus grove losses near Fort
Lauderdale were placed at S6,000,-
900. The groves were still under
water. Twenty-seven homes were
destroyed and 400 damaged.
Miami, lost from outside connec-
tion with the world for three DAYS
except for a cable connection to
Havana, counted its losses at around
$l,000,00o, while hotel and beach
property losses at nearby Miami
Beach was estimated at $4,000, 900.
Delray Beach estimated its loss
at s1,000,0G0, including a wrecked
municipal building. Airfield dam
age at Boca Ration amounted to
nearly 100000, while Fort Myers
on the Gulf Coast placed its fig
ure at $500,0Oo.
Grapefruit Loss at 1917.
The Florios Citrus Commission
figured that overall loss to grape
fruit would not be more than 10
per cent. Based on last years pro.
duetion,- this would be about 81
250, 900. Preliminary reports showed
the Indian River citrus section and
Fort Myers groves to be the heavi.
est losers. Latest estimates showed
that about half Of the maturing
fruit south Of Vero Beach was blown
from trees. Along the east coast,
some growers believed their citrus
crops were harmed by salt water
spray. 7N@'t <H7i'R 2',5"s
Early reports showed that several
thousand acres Of early vegetable
paintings were destroyed or dam

The heaviest blow to vegetable
crops was in Dade County. Lake
