MUMPS AT AGE 99 SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 7. W S. B.

Heating Systems Blamed for Most Fires in Homes Baby diapers and other cloth ing hung up to dry beside an overheated stove have a top prior ity on tne list oi ways ot now to burn down your house, Charles R. Ross, O. S. C. extension for ester, has learned from the state fire marshal's office. Rural or farm homes face the greatest danger from fire, Ross adds, since Immediate help from tire departments or neighbors is usually not close at hand when the emregency arises. One way or another, heating systems are responsible for the majority of home fire losses. The state fire marshal states the number of fatalities in home fires this year is disturbing. His statement is emphasized most tragically by a recent fire in Linn county. There, five persons were killed in a home which burned at night. Specific reasons for that fire cannot be given; howevr, evidence pointed to several possi bilities which are all too often duplicated in other homes. A wood stove loaded Just before the family went to bed or an untend ed trash burner may have been the cause of the disaster. Ross believes that rural people do not pay enough attention to fire prevention. Ranking second to the home heating system as a "house burner." he lists careless habits of smokers, the use of gasoline to wash clothing in en closed rooms, Inflammable liquids used near open flames, improper electrical fuses, ashes stored in cardboard boxes and dried leaves and moss on roofs as Important causes of home fires. If these fire hazards are either removed or guarded against, Ross claims about 90 per cent of the fire hazards In the home will be eliminated. He also recommends keeping a ladder and fire extin guishers handy where they may be readily available in the case or tire. wait until after we get somr some crosswalks paitned to ans wer that."
