rags in your home to burst into
flames.
This study is part of the ef
fort being made to reduce the
nation's fire loses.
Within the past year fires
have taken nearly 11,000 lives
and caused an aggregate prop
erty loss of $715,000,000, with
supplementary losses running
several times greater.
Few householders realize that
there are a number of common
substances which heat up by
themselves and under certain
conditions cause serious fires.
Experts have found four general
classes of such substances:
1. Substances not themselves
combustible, but which may
cause Ignition. Commonest in1
this class is unslaked lime.
when it geU moist, It heats up.
2. Substances which catch
fire below ordinary tempera
tures. These are chemicals like
hydride of phosphorous. You
don't have to worry about these
unless Junior has a chemistry
set.
3. Substances which oxidize
sufficiently at room tempera
tures to burst Into flame. These
Include oils, such as linseed,
soya, cottonseed, olive and oth
ers, when spread on rags or
clothes. The oily mop you
leave In your cellar can burst
Into fire. Some metals, such as
Iron, will Ignite spontaneously
when reduced to powder. Char
coal and soft coal will heat
when left to themselves.
4. Hay and grain which are
In a class by themselves. There's
.still a lot of mystery about ex
actly how a pile of innocent
looking hay starts to get hot
without any aid from man or
woman.
The commonest theory is that
this la due to what the scientists
call microbial thermogenesis.
It means that microbes in the
hay get busy after the hay is cut,
and soak up a lot of oxygen.
This causes a chemical reaction
and chemical reactions always
produce heat.

to produce more heat. The next
thing you know, Farmer Jones'
barn is blazing.
All the experts can do about
this so far is to warn the farm
ers not to cure their hay before
putting it In the barn. Moisture
seems to speed up the microbial
thermogenesis.
Also, farmers are adviseed to
take the temperature of their
hay. If they stick a theremom
eter into the hay loft and find
the temperature reaches 212 de
grees it is time to call the fire
department.
Householders, too, get a few
tips from the fire experts Throw
away all oily rags, they urge.
Don't store newspapers or com
bustible materials such as Chris
tmas decorations in the attic.
Warm weather can speed up
chemical reactions.
If you must keep oily mops,
hang them up where plenty of
air can circulate around them.
The air carries away the heat
that might be generated. Or
keep such mops in metal cans.
The can keeps the heat-producing
oxygen away from the oil.

Moscow Tito has become the
principal target of Soviet politi

several weeks.
This applies not onlv to the
Moscow press where many poli

Yugoslav political leader have
appeared but with equal force
to the provincial press.
He is shown often as a "pug
dog" frequently with paws be
spattered with blood and almost
always on a chain being held
by a hand labelled Wall Street
or Uncle Sam or Britain and the
United States.
He is often portrayed as an
executioner carrying an axe or
gallows.
Invariably he is pictured
wearing an officer's hat often
with the emblem of skull and
crossbones on it and always re
sembling the type of hat which
Himmler wore.

resigned recently when he moved his residence to Portland.

chairman, replacing Mr. Collins
when the latter became chair
man. Al W. Lbucks was elected con
gressional committeeman to fill
the vacancy caused by the death
of George Manolis.
All three selections were by
unanimous vote of the same 40
precinct workers attending the
meeting. Appreciation was ex
pressed to Hager for his work as
chairman, a post he held since
last January, and also respect
was paid to the late Mr. Man
olis, long an active worker In
the committee.
Several precinct workers ex
pressed favor of a plan to hold
a series of meetings by the cen
tral committee official and pre

in various sections of the coun

organizing neighborhood units,
emphasizing the program as one
