America Fights Fire Menace
Each year, the fire demon
takes 10,000 American lives
and destroys $300,000,000 in
property. Of this, 7,000 fatali
ties and $100,000,000 damage
is caused by residential fires.
During 'Fire Prevention week, most of the 25,000,000 homes in
America will be inspected for “fire susceptibility 99 by firemen, 4-H
dubs, rural scouts, state fire marshals and others. They will look
for such menaces as forgotten rubbish piles and faulty heating
plants. Many fires are caused by carelessness, but the more impor
tant consideration is that modi fires are preventable. The bare
truth 'is that America has one of the highest per capita fire losses
in the world. Every two minutes of every hour, an American home
catches fire.
Here are the greatest fire hazards in order of their importance:
(1) rubbish; (2) defective chimneys; (3) combustible roofs; (4)
defective heating equipment; (5) matches and careless smoking;
(6) gasoline and kerosene; (7) electrical defects, and (8) hot
ashes. Watch for these menaces in your home and help keep down
America*s fire toll. Remember that every 24 hours, 19 persons
—half of whom are children—die as a result of fires; burned to
death, suffocated or asphyxiated!

Too Precious
A minister was called out late one
night to visit a man who was very
ill. After he had done what he
could for the man, who was at
death’s door, he asked the relatives
why he was fetched.
“I don’t think 1 know you,” said
the minister. “Haven’t you a min
ister of your own?”
“Yes,” was the reply, “but we
couldn’t risk yjj^with typhoid.”—
