NEW BRITAIN DAILY h'ERz\lD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1017. Are You Wasting Good Coal in an old, burned out, troublesome range when a new Glenwood would save from 100 to 500 lbs. in every ton? " Just figure the saving in dollars for one year and then for five or ten years, and you will quickly see why it will pay now as never before to trade that old stove for an up-to-the-minute Glenwood. There are hundreds of models to choose from at fair prices. Get a Glenwood and let it pay for itself in the coal it saves. Complete " Gas Range attached to the end of Coal Range RCes s b Vs Sk Clors Aleda MAKE TODAY AND EVERY DAY A FIRE PREVENTION DAY Don't allow children to play with matches. Don't block the fire esoapes, may need them yourself tonight. Don’t leave everything to the land- lord; cellar to garret. Don’t throw away lighted matches, cigars or cigarettes. Don’t smoke in bed;.six fires were caused in this city that way last year. Don't go into dark closets with lighted lamp, matches or candles; we had three fires caused by such care- lessness last yvear. Don’t use insecticide in the vicinity of open flame lights as many such compounds contain volatile inflam- mable oils. Don’t use kerosene, benzine of naph- tha in lighting fires or to quicken fire; three lives were lost here last year for so doing. Don't use gasoline or benzine to clean clothing near an open flame, light or fire. Don't fill any lamp with gasoline, kerosene or other oils while the lamp is lighted. Keep the burners of all oil lamps thoroughly clean. Don't fill kerosene lamps after dark or within fifteen feet of lights or fire. Don’t put ashes in wooden boxes, or barrels. Keep ashes away from boards. Hot ashes will take fire by themselves as they frequently have small bits of hot coal mixed in with them. Seven such fires were fought here last vear, one of which caused a loss of $3,600. Don't accumulate rubbish in prem- cellars or workshops. While eeping it, if you must, place it in a you ses, { metal can. Don’t use candles trees. Don’t accumulate old beds and bed- ding or other trash in cellars.

They may cut off your | means of escape. Don’t store oils, paints, grease of fats in the house, or if you must keep them in metal cans. Keep such things outside. Don't put greasy papers, rags or the like in ash cans. Burn them up im- mediately. ; Don’t neglect to have the chimney. flue cleaned once a year. There were seventeen chimney fires last vear. Don’t have lace or other light ma- terial curtains in the vicinity of un- protected gas jets; swinging or folding gas jets should be rerhoved at once. Don’t use gasoline, naptha or ben- zine in the home unless absolutely necessary, and never at night; and the same applies to other cleaning flulds. Don't pour gasoline or naphtha down the drain. One pint of gaso- line, naphtha or benzine will make 200 feet of explosive vapor. Don’t set stoves close to the wood- works. Put a metal shield behind the stove. Be careful in using gas stoves, especially in lighting the oven. and. if the meat or grease take fire, shut off the gas and throw salt, not water, on the flames. Don't look for a gas leak with a lighted candle or match. You might suddenly find it—to your sorrow. Don't fail to know the location of the fire alarm box nearest your home. Don’t neglect to know the manner of its operation. Don't forget the fire station tele- phone numbers. Locate the station nearest your home and keep the tele- phone number in mind. The phone numbers of the stations are 931, 932, 932, 934, 935, the final number being the designation of each station. Don't neglect to ‘do vour bit”; ob- serve fire prevention day every day. CITY UNAFFECTED War Has Not Increased Juvenile Delinquency Here War has not developed an increase in juvenile delinquency in this city, according to the report of Probation Officer E. C. Connolly which has been filed with Judge James T. Meskill of police court. Sociologists and crim- inologists expected that the courts would notice an increase in youthful wwhreakers but thus far the “wave” has not struck this city. Among observations and facts in the report, the following are printed: “There appears to be a' conviction among many that the war will bring about, or has already brought about, an abnormal increase of juvenile delinquency and immorality in our country and steps have been taken by gather information along this line. ‘While this may be true of the larger citles. careful investigation of the situation in our city and comparison | with former yvears does not bear out | the supposition. { “There is an increase in juvenile | misdemeanors but \only as expected | with growth of “the city. Our local authorities are alive to the possibil- ities and are prepared for any acute | outbreak. Our schools are aiding greatly in preventive work but there is an increasing need for more Boy Scopt troops, cadets, and any form of | recreation which will keep the grow- !ing boy out of mischief after school hours and make for his all round de- velopment “Prevention is better than cure.” “It is interesting to note that a number of the young men on proba- tion were among the first to volun- teer for active service, and whatever BY “CRIME WAVE the Defense League of the State to | faults they may possess, lack of cour- age is not amongst them. They arc now “doing their bit” to make the world a better and safer place to live in. “The number of probationers car- ried over from September 30th, 1916 was 86, placed on probation dur- ing the year, 421, making a total of 1507 made up as follows: 300 men, 21 women, 182 boys, and 4 girls. This is an increase of 78 over last year. “Number who observed terms and were .released 322; number who vio- lated terms and were re-arrested, 79: i number who escaped from court jur- !isdiction, 10; number who remained on prébation, 96; total, 507. i “The amount of wazes and money collected for support of wives, fam- ilies and children is §$9,089.26 an in- creasc of $3,4§7.656 over last year.
