A towel does not dry them suf ficiently, even with the most care ful use. It is necessary to let dry air do the rest. Stay indoors just a little while after drying your hands and let the remaining bit of mois ture evaporate Then you can safe ly step out into the wintry air. Be sure that your gloves are eauaily dry before you' put them on If they fit you well there will b«’no rubbins to bring on chafing and consequent chapping. Constant ly removing and replacing them ^ also nibbing “HEADACHE” HEADACHE is not a disease; it is a symptom—one of Natoes warning signs that some part or and ensuing chafe.

November, 1946 THE ECHO PAGE SEVEN. - \ Don’t Let Your Home Be Next On List Over Two-Thirds Of Nation’s Fires Are In Houses, Loss Big Rate Of Fires This Year Is Greatly Increased, Fig ures Reveal Ittiii Every other minute an Ameri can home catches fire. This totals 30 an. hour; 720 a day; 21,600 a month! For the first half of 1946 our national fire loss is already greater than the sum total for any one full year from 1933 through 1940—$297,306,000. Because most of us believe that fire is some thing that happens to the other fellow we have allowed this coun try to build up he worst fire rec ord on earth. All of Holland, for instance, has a lowed normal fire loss than the city of Clevetod. New York, with a population about the same as that of London, has more false alarms than London has actual fires—and four times as many actual outbreaks. In 48 hours, we had three outbreaks in this country which cost more than the total fire loss of Austria and Italy for a whole year. We have become so accustomed to spectacular conflagrations that a two million dollar property loss rates front page position only if many lives are lost. The recent se ries of hotel fires in Chicago and Dubuque resulted in so many deaths that we became vaguely aware that all is not right with our building methods, but we go on staying in hotels without question, ing their adequacy to withstand fire. Something is definitely wrong with out buildings codes and in spection procedures when we al low the construction of a theater having a single secondary exit opening ten feet above the river; a school for blind children with 75 little ones on the third floor of a frame building—and no fire es capes; a million dollar school with chute exits locked at the bottom— and the keys missing for six months; an iristitution for the feeble-minded “protected” by a fire pump that wouldn’t work. Residential fires are the most publicized because they affect the greatest number of people inti mately, yet 65 per cent of our losses accounted for by only 1 per cent of the fires. Dwellings ac count for two-thirds of our fires, but the commercial and industrial property, with only 18 per cent of Crudh W ijour ci^areite the fires pi^ up more than half the total loslg. Much of us commercial fire loss can be Rvented, if only bus iness men wi invest the few ex tra thousandjollars which can provide 99 pe^ent fire immunity. Instead, with ‘emarkable short sightedness, itjy property own ers prefer to ^ing pressure on city authoritie^o suspend ordi nances which ^ct their proper ty. In most cas, the cost of in stalling an au\iatic sprinkler system would pSfor itself in re duced insurance tes. This appallingtss of life and property can be^opped—if the American public jn arouse it self. We must ins on full com pliance with loca,rdinances re garding fire proton.

PKeifSMr IBIIB f/msf Put ^our ashes in eartln Help Preserve The Beauty Of Nature Surely you must have noticed the glorious coloring of the trees at this season of the year: This is one of Nature’s gifts to us every day, as we drive to the plant, on our days off, and when taking that lit tle trip. Have you stopped to consider the scenic wonders of our forests and the length of time it took Mother Nature to nurture her woodland beauties? I feel sure you have and, having done so, you must be one of the careful folk who would not carelessly toss away a burning cigarette in the woods, or leave an unattended camp fire, or burn brush and rubbish without keeping a constant watch to see that your fire does not get out of control. How about you hunters and fish ermen? Do you ever consider how your game and fish preserves would suffer if the forests burn? You do, then I feel certain that you will grind your discarded cig arette underheel and bury your camp fire, wetting it with water if obtainable. Have you ever scanned the areas surrounding our Ecusta plant, and that of Camp Sapphire? Have you thought to yourself what settings we work and play in? You have—then I know that you would abhor seeing an ugly scarred patch of burned out woods in these set tings, that would result from a woods fire caused by some little act of carelessness on the part of a careless person. Let us admonish those we see in careless acts liable to cause fire, and so help to preserve Mother Pul your pipe "artl Refining Control Lab.
