In a series of “Don’ts’’ publish- ed as a guide to folks there is set forth a number of commonly pre- valent conditions at this season that should be avoided. Especially is the careless use of electrical wiring mentioned. Smok- ing near Christmas trees. The use of paper, cotton or celluloid orna- ments. Allowing children the use of toys requiring gasoline, kero- sene or alcohol. In using the small moving pic- ture machines be sure that the film is that known as acetate film, which is safety film. The other known. as nitro¢ellulose, is highly inflammable and while burning re- leases fumes that can and may cause death. One thing particularly stressed by Chief Baker is the necessity of removing trees, especially resinous ones such as pine and fir, right after Christmas. They soon be- come dry and in this condition are readily set on fire by some bit of carelessness or thoughtlessness on the part of a child or grown per- son. And last but not least use no lighted candles. on the trees. In this electrical age, when small mul- ticolored bulbs can be bought, or hired, for a small sum, there should be no need for endangering life and property by the use of candles, which have been the case of many disastrous fires and loss of lives.
