To Guide Public. ! For the guidance of the public the | Chamber of Commerce of the United | States has offered suggestions de- signed to eliminate fire hazards in the home. The importance of the problem is seen from the fact that thou of persons were killed and inj la year and property valued at $560,000,000 was de ed. It is ex- plained that _ordir precautions | F'mlu have eliminated much of this| oss. Particular attention is being paid to the question of heating homes which is now uppermost in the minds of people in every part of the United | States except the far South. “Before the fires are rted,” a statement issued by the [xhled States Chamber of Commerce, “it is nportant that careful attention be | given to chimneys and flues; for, if | they are neglected, the entire home may be destroyed by fire. 1In 1925 erty valued in-excess of $21,000, d-*\uu\(d because of fir originated in defective chim nd flues. The larger part of | could have been prevented ns had been made, soot cleaned out and the necessary repairs ade before the heating units were it into operation in the Fall."” Persons are warned against ss use of oil; and gasoline. It is pointed out that they can be made perfectly safe by the exercise of a little caution, They are said to have | caused fire destruction of more than $10,000,000 during the year 1925. Disorder and Untidiness. Many lives are lost,” says the statement, “through using kerosene and gasoline to start fires in stoves and furnaces. This is a most danger- ous practice. Oily mops and rags often cause fires from spontaneous combus- tion. They should, therefore, be kept in closed metal containers where air cannot reach them.” Upward of $15,000,000 in damage is traced to improperly installed and used electric wires for light, heat and power. Everybody is urged to have all electrical apparatus installed by skilled workmen aand frequently in- spected. “'Disorders and untidiness breed fires,” it is stated. ‘“Careful atten- tion should be given by the house- | holder to the removal of all rubbish from cellars, attics and cupboards.” Last, but not least, the tobacco smokers are warned to be careful. Attention is called to the fact that lighted matches and cigar and ciga- rette butts were responsible in 1925 for a fire loss exceeding $30,000,000.
