MYSTERY FIRES
t'-nalli tin- diagnosis of tiros which start with spontaneous
combustion is. eause unknown. "Mystery" tires of combustive
origin destroy millions of dollars worth of property and many
lives every year. The following- <|uestions are taken front a
booklet entitled, " IL’ Ways to Prevent Fires." Those who
can answer them satisfactorily stand a good chance of avoid
ing tire losses from combustion: those who cannot, stand just
a- good a chance of watching the sun come up some morning

before them arc not the remnants of a a nightmare, hut the
remains of their home. The nuosijons a'e simple: FI: ve

In liaise questions are the solution to most unexplained
lire-. A large percentage of lit ban homes, farms,, and places
r k of work are rife with delayed action incendiary bombs. Many
• uf us in the course of a single day may walk past some of
these iniiilis a score of times. After all, a greasy pair of
oyerally or a few oily rags are not a frightening sight. Hut
they are nonetheless lire bombs, which may sooner or later
wipe nut in a- few minutes the results of years of toil.
Spontaneous combustion worts while you sleep, or while
you are away. It seldom unleashes its fury before witnesses.
That is why its visitation is wreathed in mystery.
