GASOLINE IN GARAGES
Omt Danger in Qaragee Consist!
Mainly in Improper Handling af
Oaaolina While Repairing.
Gasoline is generally retailed in ga
rages, where automobiles, motorcyclei
an d gasolines rope lied machinery is
general are repaired. The danger to
garages consists mainly In lmpropet
handling of gasoline and fumes from
gasoline whUe repairing is being done
All gaaoltne kept should be kept Id
metal tanks burled at least 2 - feet
underground, tanks to have filling pips
and proper vent, made so that it is
Impossible to open filling pipe without
opening vent. In no case should ait
presure be allowed on these tanks,
and all gasoline drajrn from tank
ahould be drawn by an approved pump
This pump, vent, and Ailing pipe
ahould be so constructed that fract
ure of either or all would in no man
ner free or expose the gasoline in the
buried tank. If over 160 gallons ol
gasoline is kept, same should be kept
in tank, buried at least 100 feet from :
any building. The vent pipe to all j
tanks should extend in the air to a,
point higher than any surrounding j j
building. The filling pipe should, ex- j j
cept when tank is being filled, be
kept securely locked.
SPRINKLERS!
All Buildings Can Be Equipped With
Sprinklers.—Piping is Hardly
Noticeable by Customers.
There is hardly any variety of struc
turea, lt«. flrrnp*nry into
which sprinklers have not been of
cannot be introduced. The most elab
orate finished department stores, as
well as the plainest factories, hotels,
schoolhouses. theatres, and even ves
sels, have been equipped. The princi
pal Panama-Pacific Exposition build
ings have been sprlnklered. In some
buildings the piping Is concealed, but
even where exposed it not objection
ably noticeable. How many customers
notice the sprinklers in the stores.
A sprinkler In operation will throw
12 gallons a minute under 5 pounds
pressure, 18 gallons at 10 pounds. 30
gallons at 30 pounds, 40 gallons at
50 pounds, 50 gallons at 70 pounds.
To give a better mesns of compari
son, let us refer to rainfall. The great
est continuous rainfall for ten min
utes recorded by the Weather Bu
reau office at Hartford averaged .076
Inch per minute. From measurement
the average distribution per minute
on the floor 10 feet below a sprinkler
operating at 25 pounds presure was
.0907. That is to say, the downpour
under average conditions Is 1.2 times
as heavy as our heaviest rainstorms
Under higher presure It might be
twice as heavy—Hartford Agent.
EDUCATION AND PUB
LICITY
Educational Campaign Being Carried
On By State Department to Pre
vent HarnrJcus Construction.
The campaign of education and put)
llclty which Is being carried on by the
State Fire Marshal Department Is in
tended to teach the property owners
to remedy faulty construction and the
occupants to eliminate hazardous con
ditions. It is also Intended to instill
into the mipds of the people, the In
suranceibuylng portion especially,
the fundamental fact that the lnsur
ance companies do not pay the Are
losses. The payment Is made by
those of os who buy fire insurance
through atfefitlb of the Insurance com
panies. Along this line of Are pre
vention. bulletins have been distribut
ed with the purpose of calling atten
tion to the careless acts that cause so
many fires —the sins ot omission and
commission. Their purpose i s not
only to reach the parents, but theif
children .and to encourage more care
fulness "In the homes.—Fire Marshal
C. P. Hirt.
IMPORTANT.
Tn view of the ever increasing con
sumption of Inflammable liquids, th
question of SAFETY Is of vital Im
portance. Storage and distributing In
stallations must be made safe and
the all too frequent eplosions must
cease.
Since the advent of the automcfofle
and other gasoline-driven machinery,
the wholesale use of gasoline in clean
ing clothes, and the other general
uses of gasoline, the product has be
come common, and the public has, in
a sense, disregarded the danger of
gasoline explosions, and "familiarity
has bred contempt", so to speak. Bnt
the fact remains that the ratio of loss
of Ufe and property has Increased ac
cording to the amount of gasoline care
lessly stored and used.

A TRIP ACROSS THE CONTINENT
Continued From Page One.
not be surpassed in
sci not be surpassed in
any part of the western world;
the beautiful colorings of the
mountain sides, and green of the
mountain spruce, the clouds over
and beneath the train,,-make this
trip to Cripple Creek one which I
shall never forget. After Crip
ple Creek, which is the highest
incorporated town in the world
is reached, the tourists have din
ner at the hotel, roam about the
town, which now has about fif
teen thousand inhabitants, and
to. me is a typical mining town, for
its citizens all IOOK like the min
ers of which one has read, and
there are thirty saloons there
which make one think of the
wild and wooly west which we
see often in the moving pictures.
The return trip is over the same
route and the train pulls into the l
station at Colorado Springs all
too soon, for one would like to lin
ger for months in the beautiful
places of the mountains, enjoy
the delightful air and drink in
the beauty of the'surrounding
scenery.
A drive through the Garden of
the Gods is one of the most de
lightful experiences which one
can have around Colo. Springs, j
and every one should take it,
however, it does not appeal to
everyone, but to me it was one
of remarkable beauty. Tlie roads
are of the finest macadam, and
at the time I was there grass and
other vegetation were of the
most luxuriant growth and the
wonderful formations which rise
into view from all sides make the
garden a fascinating, charming
and beautiful place. Most of the
formations are of a reddish brown
color, about the same shade as
the clay which we have in Pied
mont North Carolina. This beau
tiful rich color, together with the
green of the trees makes a very
wonderful combination for a col
or scheme. These reddish for
mations rise into the air to a
heighth of from one hundred and
fifty to three hundred feet high,
and many of them form most
fantastic shapes. One of them
is called ti>e "kissing camel,''
and one can readily see the out
line of two camels lying down
with their noses together. An
other one is a perfect form of an
Irish woman bending over a wash
tub, still another shows the per
fect head of a lion. As I was
driving through the garden the
sun was just beginning to set,
and the beautiful shadows which
were formed made a very artis
tic spectacle indeed, and was a
delightful close of a perfect day
around Colorado Springs and

Cripple Creek.
The Cave of the Winds is an
other interesting point in this
section and one which is very
popular, as it is estimated that
sixty thousand vfsitors conie to it
annually. , The road leading to
the cave is full of intefest? I went
in an automobile to a height of
about three thousand feet. The
road is a new one, just complet
ed in 1915, and offers many beau
tiful scenes of the surrounding
mountains, and at certain points
the dangers are somewhat thrill
ing. After reaching the top of
the mountain one enters the cave.
It's a formation very similar to
other caves in different parts of
the world, an immense place hol
lowed out of the mountain, it is
supposed to be caused by some
subterranean disturbance, and
has some of the most gorgeous
stalactites and stalagmites, geol
ogists tell us that it takes a 1000
years for these to grow an inch
and some of them in the cave of
the Winds are three to five feet
long, so one can imagine how
old this cave is: it is not as large
as the Mamouth Cave in Ken
tucky, but its beauty is marvel
ous. The guides turn on-the elec
tricity and one begins to view
this freak of nature. One of the
many openings which are found
in the cave, and which are form
ed in the shape of rooms, is call
ed Old Maid's Kitchen, and ev
ery woman who visits the cave
is told that if she leaver a hair
pin in this room she will meet a
husband before the year is out,

pins left there, the two ladies
who were in the party with me.

Pike's Peak is perhaps the
most famous spot around Colora

far and wide as one of the most
celebrated mountain climbs in

FIRE WASTE IS ATTHTIN6 ATTENTION
Several States Have Realized Enormous Destruction by Fire and
Established Legislation to Prevent Some of Waste
The flre waste throughout the coun
ttr is attracting more attention tfcau
ever before, and several states have
shown a disposition to recognise the
principle that the enormous destruc
tion of property annually is an eco
' nomic waste of the country'" resources
with the result that they have ex
pressed a decided sentiment in favor
of establishing special legislation,
! which will tend toward greater conser
vation, and are abandoning their for
mer attitude of assuming that as long
as property is insured there is no loss.
In the face of facts, the attitude
I mentioned is absolutely erroneous,
and it can be corrected by the educa
tion of the public, starting with the

open to instruction in the saving of
