24 E136 Crescent match, and always remember that out of every 700,000,000 matches struck ina day there is a loss of 330,281,840 annually. Be careful of fires whether they are open or in a lamp or stove. Keep a screen before a fireplace and never dry clothes before any fire. Build bonfiresiin safe places. The lamps must be kept clean and filled by daylight. Protect the floor about a stove with zinc. If fat blazes. cover it with an iron lid or with salt or flour. Clear away ashes often. Nearly 555,000 are lost each year by dumping ashes near buildings or in wooden boxes. Rubbish is a splendid food for Hames and must be cared for. Burn up all old clothes, boxes, and papers. Keep greasy rags in tin boxes. Leaves are good fer- tilizers and should be buried. Tin cans and bottles should be dumped in some swamp. Oils, such as gasoline and kerosene. are useful if taken care of. Keep them in cans away from the house. Never use kerosene to start a fire, or gasoline for cleaning. Do not smoke in a garage or in an automobile which is being filled. Sand or a chemical extinguisher is best for put- ting out such a fire. Gas, electricity and acetylene are com- monly used for lights, therefore every- one should know how to care ,for them. Do not let gas escape or touch live elec- tric wires. Clothes must not be dried over electric bulbs. Acetylene is a dark gray. brittle substance, used most often in auto lights. It explodes when in touch with water, and should therefore be kept in metal boxes. Forest fires are very common and very harmful. Railroads are the first cause, then come careless burning of brush and waste, campers, and careless smokers. The last seems the most unnecessary. The habit -is unhealthy, especially for small boys, as well as dangerous. You can help in this by putting out matches, cigars. and cigarettes dropped by the smoker, and by seeing that No Smoking signs are obeyed. If the fire has already started use brooms, water, sand, or chemicals to put it out. When you build a fire your- self, put it out before you leave and you will be helping to lessen the 347,000 lost each day by forest fires. In case of a serious fire in the house at night, open doors carefully to make sure that the fire cannot enter the room and close them again behind you. If you must jump from a window, toss out a mattress to land on or make a rope from the sheets. When there is a suffocated person in some room enter on your hands and knees, as the smoke is thinner near the Hoor, tie the person's hands together and drag him out. If the person is breath- ing, wet a handkerchief in ammonia or vinegar and place it over his nose. ' If not breathing, lay the person face down with the head on one arm. Straddle the body and place hands with the thumbs just above the small of the back. Press hard with your whole weight, then let up gradually. Keep this up until the person recovers, then make him comfortable and call for a doctor. If you will always keep cool and remember where the valuables are kept and the safest way out, you will be doing a great deal in case of fire. MABEL Hom, '29.
