CHECKING ELECTRICAL FIRES Safeguards Essentisl to the roperty from Current ¥ Proper Protection of Although electrical fires are on the in- crease, says the New York Post, experts believo that many losses attributed to such causes do not so originate, but arc ascribed to that hazard for want of some better ex- planation. H. J. Blakesloe, electrical in- spector of the Hartford Board of Fire Un- derwriters, with other experts, who have caretully studied the electrical fire loss in large citles, thinks that much may be done to safeguard property if the public is prop- erly informed concerning the more common perils. Most of the dwelling loss is due to Improper installation, which might be rem- edied at trifing expense were people care- ful to see that standard equipment was used. In a statoment made to the Post. Mr. Blakeslee sald: “Decided progress has boen made during the last few years in reducing the electrical fire hazard. It is, T think, constantly being reduced.. Unquestionably, many fires are widely reported as of elec- trical origin which are not due to that cause at all. I have had a number of such cases in my own territory. The average person discovers the cause of a fire in a manner similar to the method of dlagosis employed by the young ddctor, who found that the trouble which his patient was ex- perfencing all came from eating a horse because there was a saddle under the bed. It there are any wires to be found in a bullding after a fire, even bell wires, the layman who sees them unhesitatingly as- serts that he knows what caused the trouble, “Electrical fires are not, prevailing no- tions to the contrary notwithstanding, mys- terious affairs. They are accountable for by natural, clearly defined laws, which are as easily recognized as those of gravitation. I belleve that electriclty is the safest method of {llumination in use today. One of the most difMcult things to prevent, how- ever, 1s the disturbance of wires after thelr proper installation by persons ignorant of possible results. And also the dangerous work of the person who knows ‘something’ about electricity. “Property owners should always take it upon themselves to know personally that their electrical work is being properly in- stalled, elther through the employment of a competent person who will have the own- er's interest solely in view, or through sat- istying themselves that the inspection pro- vided in their locality is adequate. Se- curity depends entirely upon the proper installation which may be so planned as to exclude the possibility of fire. When work is finished, it should mever be dlsturbed, and It s to the advantage of every prop- erty owner to see that, so far as possible, an installation is inspected from time to time. Let no one who can possibly afford the expense hesitate to install his wires in iron conduits, regardless of what Is ‘per- missible.’ Different conditions are found in different localities, but such safeguards as 1 have enumerated are of very gefleral importance. —e e PNEUMONIA IS CONTAGIOUS Necessity for Unfaltering Care by At- tendants in the Siek Room. We wonder, says American Medicine, it the fact that patients and their friends ignore the contaglousness of pneumonia is often due to professional negligence. An exaggerated conception of the contagious- ness of tuberculosis is held by the lay world, but pneumonia is, of course, far more contaglous. And patients and pro- tession alike have not realized the new fact that the mortality of pneumonia s in some cities and parts of the country higher than that of tuberculosis. Dr. Reynolds of Chicago returns to this lesson and em- phasizes the neces measures: A Pneumonia is a highly contagious dis- case, the cause of which is a micro-organ- ism in the sputa of those suffering from the malady, and contracted by inhaling this germ. Therefore, be taken to collect and destroy the sputa that is taken in pulmonary tuberculosis, or in diphtheria or influenza. During the illness the greatest pains should be taken to prevent soiling bed- clothing, carpets or furniture with the sputa, and after the ilineds the patient's room should be thoroughly cleansed and ventilated. The fact that the disease {s most pre- valent in the winter season, when people are most crowded together and live much of the time in badly ventilated apartments, makes obvious the necessity of thorough ventilation of houses, offices, factories, theaters, churches, passenger cars and other public places, in order that the air which must be breathed may be kept clean and free from Infectious matter. Laymen should be taught net to be afrald of a patient’ who has pneumenia, fnfluenza or tuberculosis, but to be atraid of lack of cleanliness about him durmg his illne of fallure to emforce prophylactic me ures and of close, badly ventilated apart- ments during the season when these dis- eases most prevail. Since ppeumonia is most fatal at the extremes of life—the young and the aged —speclal care should be taken to ‘guard children and old persons against exposure to the infection of those already suffering with the disease and against cold, priva- tion and exposure to the weather, which are potent, predisposing ceuse: — ROCKEFELLER KEEPS SILENCE Refuses to Talk About Telegrams Re- by Senators Opposing Trust Bills, NEW YORK, Feb. .—An effort was made today to see Johu D.
