FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Fire Prevention Week is here. What are you going to do about it? If you are short-sighted, you will do nothing. If you have any interest in pro- tecting your property and your family’s} lives, you will use Fire Prevention Week as an occasion for taking the simple, es-! sential measures that usually suffice to} make homes and places of: business. safe from the most eommon and dangerous fire | hazards, Fire Prevention Week is not’ designed: It is designed to serve— to conserve—to protect. During t Week | insurance companies, civic bodies, fire ex- | perts and public officials will use the | radio, newspapers, .displays and printed | literature in an effort to make you think | and to make you act. In the average home grave exist of which the owner knows Ignorance, as well as_ carelessness, prolific source of destructive fire. The simplest and most easily cor- rected causes are responsible for the great bulk of fires in dwellings. A slight fault in a heating plant may devastate a home. Accumulations of papers, clothes, furni- ture and other odds and ends require only a spark to burst into flame. Improperly stored fluids such as gasoline, benzine and | kerosene are a constant’menace. Amateur repairs of electric: appliances and_ light | cords cause millions of dollars’ loss an- nually. Paint or oil-soaked rags are often the cause of spontaneous combustion. An improperly protected hot electric iron, or cigaret ashes invite fires, It costs you nothing to eliminate these hazards, and takes little time. . That small effort may save you thousands of dollars —and infinitely more important, save a life. Fire Prevention Week was in augurated to serve you. Make the most of it. hazards | nothing. is a} | | TIMES HAVE CHANGED What American regard as natural and proper in the year 1937 was not so re- garded a quarter of a century ago. . Take for example the costume worn by women in public swimming places this past summer: Can any reader imagine what would have been thought of a “nice, respectable” girl wearing such a synco- pated suggestion of a bathing suit in 1912? The freedom of women in this respect in the United States is not general through- out the world. For example, the veiled women of Yugoslavia, we are told, are no longer denied the privilege of bathing in public swimming pools but have been warned by their Moslem church authori- ties that they must keep their faces veiled and wear bathing suits that reach below | the knees! WILD ANIMALS INCREASE Citizens who have been worrying about the slaughter of wild life in Africa and fearful less the great beasts of the forests there become extinct can take heart. from the report sent to this country by Mxs. Martin Johnson, who recently re- turned to Kenya after an-absence of three years. The woman explorer says that phants have become a nuisance in Uganda and that local authorities are encouraging the killing of zebra which have overrun; the plains. On the Tanganyika plains | alone, she estimates, there are more than 10,000,000 wild animals and they continue to increase in spite of the licensed toll of the natives, ele- THEY MIGHT DISCOVER A WAR, | Statesmen interested in upholding the j sanctity of treaties can learn a little fri | the affair, not war, now proceeding in t It seemg that some nine powers, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE: BY Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files — The Gibbs Gas Engine Com- pany, of Jacksonville, is prepared to put two gas engine ferries, | capable of carrying twenty auto-' mobiles each into service on the Oversea Highway in 60 days. The eraft will cost from $20,000 to $25,000 each, depending on the nature of their motive power. The county commissioners decided in special session today that the ferries offered are what they must have, but that an order can) be placed for them only after ad-} vertising for bids for 15 days. George Gibbs, president of the company, is in the city consider- ing the matter with the board. He proposes to construct boats 24 by 110 feet to draw three and half feet of water, and will carry 20 automobiles and 100 passen-! gers. They will have a speed of} 10 miles per hour, with a Fordson Power Plant at a cost of $20,000. Practically the same type of ves- sel with a better power plant, fully equipped, can be constructed for $25,000. These boats wil), have a large promenade deck, state; rooms for cases of illness or €mergency, and cabins for white and colored. Two of the boatscan_be delivered in 60 days. The third in 90.
