ing care In the decoration:
I would like to offer a few sug
gestions to stores, churches nnd
housewives nlong the lines of educa
tion In fire prevention during the
holiday season, when such buildings
are usually crowded.
Light and inflammable material
make fires easy to start and easy to
spread. A match, a gas flnme, an
electric globe may do It.
First, Do not make any changes
In electric wiring without first con
sulting the electrical Inspector.
Second, do not decorate your
Christmas tree with paper, cotton or
any other Inflammable material. Ueo
metallic tinsel and other non-inflammable
decorations only, and set the
tree securely so that the children In
reaching for things cannot tip It over.
Do not use cotton for decorations to
represent snow. If you must have
snow use asbestos fibre. Cotton or
.other Inflammable decorations should
JjC dipped In a solution of phosphate
'of nntmonln And water.
Do not leave matches In reach of
tho children so that they can get
them to relight candles. They fre
quently set their clothes aflro Instead.
Remember the children Imitate their
elders. The tree itself will burn when
the needles become dry.
Electric lights should not be dress
ed In paper petticoats, as there Is
enough heat In each bulb to set fire
to tho paper.
Keep water, sand or fire extinguish
cr handy. Pir: p sheet of tin mulct
the Christmas tree.
Abovo nil don't forgot that tho
fire department Is ready at nil times
to respond to calls n fow minutes af
ter the alarm is turned in. Hut that
you can do yourselves nnd tho fire
department more good by observing
a fow rules of prevention, ns the reni
value of n good department lies in j
the fact that they are giving you most
of tho protection required by endeav
oring to prevent fires.
