America has encountered its usual
seasonal problem this year— that of
keeping warm without burning up.
Fires started by faulty heating
systems spread rapidly and are e x ­
tremely hazardous to property. The
number of such fires increases with
the coming of cold weather, accor­
ding to Tne National Board o f Fire
Underwriters,
which also
reports
that fires from all causes take an
annual toll o f 10.000 lives and a l­
most a half billion dollars in prop­
erty in America.
In the average
dwelling the soot which is permit­
ted to accumulate in the chimney
and heating plant not only impairs
their efficiency but is an actual fire
hazard.
Chimneys may
develop
cracks, furnaces
and stoves may
need parts replaced, pipes may rust
out and develop holes which would
permit sparks to escape. These or
similar problems are also found in
other buildings,
but on a larger
scale. Other factors which would
make for safety are placing ashe-
in metal containers instead of wood
boxes or cartons, and keeping p a­
per and rubbish away frvm stoves
or furnaces.
Sometimes when houses are built
pipes are placed too close to burn­
able materials or the heating sys
tern is improperly installed. Spec
ifications fo r correct installation of
these plants and the
building of
chimneys may be obtained from
local inspection bureaus or insur
ance agents,
When the
heating
element is electricity, oil or gas
an entirely new series o f problem s
is developed, and unless the appli­
ances comply with standard speci­
fications and are
maintained cor
rectly, destructive fires may result

world.
Every schoolboy knows the story
o f Franklin's
suspicion that the
lightingbolt was simply
a larger
specimen o f the spark he drew from
a Leyden jar. He proved the like­
ness with his historic experiment
o f the kite and the key during a
thunder-storm. The invention o f the
lightning-rod soon followed.
Franklin's diplomatic feats make
too long a list for a newspaper
column, but it was
he who first
sought to bind the Colonies together
in union. He performed many sav­
ing services for the Colonies before
the Revolution, ami
during that
struggle
his influence
in France
provided the factor that turned the
Revolution to victory fo r America.
Even at 81, Franklin’s deeds for
his country were not yet ended, for
in 1787 he performed the culmin­
ating service o f his long and great
career with the fitting act of be­
coming a member of the Convention
that wrote the Constitution.
Throughout his life he was a de­
voted admirer o f George Washing­
ton, and the
friendship o f these
two men is one o f the fairest pages
in early American history. On his
death, on April »7. 1790, Franklin
willed his cane to Washington with
the famous words: "M y fine crah-
tree walking stick,
with a gold
head curiously wrought in the form
o f a cap o f liberty. I give to my
friend and the friend o f mankind.
General Washington. I f it were a
sceptre, he has merited it and would
become it.”
