Flammable Liquid
Fire Costs High
In Ohio 1854

Mr.. Charles r. Scott, State Fire
Marshal, reports that there were
SGT fires in Ohio last year caused
by the misuse, careless handling or
improper storage of flamInable IL
guilds. These fires destroyed $6ll,-
020.00 worth of property.
Some recent flammable liquid
fires in Ohio were:
AN eight year old boy was hos
pitalized with second and third de-
gree burns over the lower portion
of his body received when he and
a friend threw lighted newspapers
onto gasoline that had been spilled
in the street.
"A three year old boy and his
mother were burned seriously
when he upset glass jug of gaso-
line near water heater. The fuel
was for a power mower just re-
Gently purchased by the boys faith
er."
Two gasoline station employees
were killed in an explosion and
blaze which destroyed the interior
of a filling station. The explosion
occurred when employees attempt
ed to use blow torch in the build
ing containing gasoline vapors."
"A couple narrowly escaped SER
ious burns wien gasoline they
were using to clean a jacket burst
into flames. A piece of plywood
was layed over the flaming gaso-
line and this was covered with a
rug. Thinking the flames were out,
the plywood was lifted to carry
the gasoline outside, when it re-
ignited burning the couple. They
suffered first degree burns on
face, arms and hands and had TO
be treated at the hospital. The kit
chen was severely damaged by
smoke"
"A 38 year old man died of burns
received when flames from a gaso-
line explosion enveloped him as he
was pouring gasoline into his auto
tank from a drum. The auto and
garage were destroyed"
Common flammable liquids are:
benzine gasoline, ethyl ether, nap
tha, toluol and acetone.
Mr.. Scott points out that flam-
mable liquids are dangerous be-
cause of their volatility, giving off
vapors which are readily ignited
when they are mixed with the pro-
per mixture of oxygen and come in
contact with heat
It is of the utmost importance
that flammable liquids be stored
in such manner that vapors can
not escape the container. When us
ing flammable liquids, the area
must be well ventilated so that
dangerous quantities of vapors can
not accumulate and the area must
be free from any sources of heat
that could ignite the vapors.
Mr.. Scott suggests that small
quantities of flammable liquids be
stored in safety cans, never ir

twenty Marked In
Ohio holiday Toll

Columbus, Ohio Twenty or
more Ohioans may be marked for
death over the Memorial Day Hol-
iday, Director u. c .Felty of the
Department of Highway Safety de-
clared today.
Unless there have been some
drastic changes in the attitudes of
some motorists, there is every rea-
son to believe that the toll will
reach that of last year when %
were killed during the four-day
period" Felty declared. Many
drivers have accepted their respon-
sibility but a small percentage
still prove they are unfit by disre-
garding common courtesy on the
streets and highways.
Most of those who die in traf-
fic are the innocent victims of
careless drivers the estimated
Is percent who cause the major
ity of accidents Some drivers have
absolutely no regard for the safe
ty of others.
The Department is calling up
on every enforcement agency in
the state to be alert over the holi-
day for reckless drivers and be
especially watchful for the driver

are preferred, slightly narrower at
bottom than the usual slacks.
Quilted skirts are very stylish,
shorter and fuller than last year.
Saddle oxfords are replacing flat
shoes again. Wool scarfs, long or
short are worn high, wrapped
around the throat. Some girls wear
gold metal bands on top of the
head.
st. Christopher medals are a

blue enamel, with silver trim or

their steady girl, but all youths
seem to be wearing them.
