Eight Causes Given
I For Fires In Homes
r * *
Use of defective equipment^ or
carelessness causes most of th* nres
which destroy hundreds of farm
homes in North Carolina every year,
says David S. Weaver, agricultural
enginnecr of the State College Extension
Service.
He lists right specific causes for
the majority of fires in homes: (1)
poorly constructed or defective flues
and chimneys; (2) inflammable roofing
material which ignites when
sparks settle 01 it; (3) lightning; (4)
spontaneous combustion; (fl) careless
use of smoking materials; (6)
improper handling of kerosene and
gasoline; (7) defective stoves and
furnaces; and (8) lack of sate and
adequate wiring for electricity, or
the wrong use of electrical appliances.
Weaver suggests that the homeowner
make .an analysis of the fire
hazard by going from room to room
j with a paper and pencil and check
I over the above mentioned items. The
I kitchen, the basement, store-rooms,
attics, closets and stairways offer
j the greatest p -oblems, for it is there
that most of the fires start.

ROPE treasures
After being tied to the surace of
the earth for countless ages, mankind'has
begun in the past few years
to explore both -the heights above
and the depths beaneth.
i We fly high above land and sea
* with the ease of the bihcts and at far
1 greater speed. In submarine boats
we swim under water like the fish,
j There are still higher heights and
. deeper depths about which we know.
. nothing. While one group of
scientists explores the stratosphere
in balloons, another group is trying ;
to discover. what lies at the bottom
of the ocean's deepest valleys.j
The Carnegie Institution of Washington
has made a steel rope seven
i miles long, with which its explorers
I are bringing up specimens from the
! bed of the sea. '
: One of the most interesting' dis"
coveries so far made is that there are
greater concentrations of radium far
down under the ocean than have yet
been found on dry land.
Since every river has been depositing
the minerals washed dawn from -.
the hills into the sea for millions of
years, it is probable that the greatest
store of treasure on earth lies miles
under water. Whether much of it
can ever be recovered is a problem
?
to which there is as yet no answer. JEWS

In awarding the American Hebrew
Medal for 1938 to President Roose- .
velt for the most outstanding service
of the year in promoting better un-*:
derstanding between Jews and
Christians, the committee of eminent,
^ channel ot^all creeds.^,
.said, they selected Mr. Roosevelt'.
| ' ,Jv'"
They selected him because by all
his words and actions since he has
been in the public service he has pro!
muted belter understanding among |
1 ail races and creeds, because in the
pasi year lie took the initiative at
every crisis in Jewish affairs and did
by the agricultural engineer to stress
fire preventon: "Do the members of
your family have habits which" are
conducive to good fire control? Do
they use kerosene or gasoline in
starling fires? Are they careless
about smoking conditions? Are the
oily greasy rags used about the
garage put into metal containers or
immediately burned, or are they
allowed to accumulate as a possible
hazard? "Are the children allowed
to play with matches? Is the electric
iron disconnected immediately when
the ironer leaves the ironing board?
"Many simple habits conducive to
correcting fire hazards may be instilled
into the minds of members
oi' the family by a general discussion
of fire hazard problems,"
