USE YOUR BRAINS—
SAVE YOUR PROPERTY
"A match has a head but no
brains. When you use its head
use your brains!”
That’s good advice for every
person in this broad land of ours
adult as well as child. For match
as and smoking, according to
the National Board of Fire Un
derwriters, causes three times as
many fires as any other known
c&use. They are responsible for
four times as many fires as over
heated chimneys and flues; and
almost six times as many us light
fling.
Putting it another way, match
es and smoking cause 27 per cent
of all fires of known cause—and
fires of known cause comprise 83
per cert of the total. That means
that misuse of matches is respon
Bible for the burning to death
of thousands of people every
year—to say nothing of property
destruction running into the tens
of millions.
The tragic phase of this is that
every fire caused by a match or
by smoking material is a prevent
able fire. There is no excuse for
going to sleep in bed with a cig
arette in your hand—but people
do it continually, and a great
many of them never again wak
en in this world. Nothing is eas
ier than to stamp out a cigarette
or cigar butt when you are finish
ed with it, or to properly dis
pose of the ashes from a pipe—
but each year there are untold
instances where this isn’t done—
and in some thousands of those
instances, fires, great or small, re
suit. It certainly does not call
for any great effort to dispose of
your matches and cigarettes in
the ash tray in your oar. instead
of throwing them out of the win
dow—but millions of acres of rav
aged land that once bore mag
nificent timber, offer mute testi
mony to how many times this
simple smoking precaution is for
gotten.
Smoke if you will—but don’t
forget the obligation every smok
er owes to everyone else—and
that is to be ever watchful of
what happens to smoking mater- j
I
I
i ials when he is done with them.
The most common cause of fire
’ is the most inexcusable
—
WHEN
(Philadelphia Record)
A Baltimore court has decided
that an onion is a fruit and not
a vegetable.
Defending a woman arrested
for selling an onion on Sunday,
the bench took the view that “it
is a matter af taste whether or
not onions may be prepared as
a dessert. I have known persons
who would rather eat a pickled i
onion than a bonbon.”
Yet an onion may be neither J
fruit nor vegetable but a flower,
a member of the lily family (al- ;
Hum cepa, if you prefer), and it
does have small white flowers.
What we eat is the bulb.
But wait. An onion is 87.6 per
cent water, which seems to make
it more of a liquid than anything.
N. B.: The managing editor
says this editorial is not strong
enough.
