FORTY AUTO FIRES SINCE MAY FIRST

Fire Marshal Issues Bulletin—Warnings That Should Serve to Lessen Fire Danger. ■More than forty automobile fires, causing a total loss of $8,736, have been reported to the state fire marshal since the establishment of ‘his office last May. But six resulted *n the total destruction of the machines. The causes of Indiana automobile fires, as shown by the° statistics gather by the *flre marshal are: Gasoline explosion—l 2. . Defective wiring—3. Overhead exhaust—l. Carlessness with. matches—2. Adjoining fires—L • '*> Of all the automobile fires reported twenty-two were of unknown origin. “Gasoline is naturally the chief cause of all automobile fires,” said the fire marshal. “Since the explosions which occur not only result in fire .but very often in serious injury to owners, they cannot be too careful in seeing that hazards are minimized. “One of the most dangerous practices followed by automobile drivers is the_use of gasoline for cleaning the machine in a closed garage. This is doubly dangerous if the gasoline is sprayed from a tank by air pressure, since the liquid quickly vaporizes and fills the garage with a highly explosive mixture of air and gas. But one pint of gaso-

ine will make more than 200 cubic ::eet of air very explosive.” The fire marshal -recommends especially that all automobile owners take particular precautions against fire in the garage. No driver should put up his machine, according to the fire marshal, withoutflrst seeing that the lights are out, the engine cool and that there are no sparks resulting from .oose battery connections. Smoking, says the fire marshal, is particularly dangerous about the garage. For extinguishing automobile fire the fire marshal recommends the use of the small pyrene extinguisher. Every automobile driver is advised to carry fire extinguishing apparatus with him in his oar at all times.

LINCOLN DAY BANQUET ENJOYED BY REPUBLICANS

Big Gathering at Indianapolis Listened to Speech by Former Governor of Kentucky. The Lincoln Day gathering of Republicans at Indianapolis Thursday was a great success, bringing out many republicans from all parts, of the state. Tomlinson hall was the scene of afternoon and morning meetings and Ex-Governor A. E. Willson, of Kentucky, made a splendid speeeh, urging that the defeat of democracy ean only be accomplished by a united party. The state committee was organized by the election of Will H. Rays, of Sullivan, chairman; Robert W. Morris, of New Albany, vice chairman; Prank D. Stalnaker, >f Indianapolis, treasurer; and postponing the election of a secretary. The republican editorial associa; tion held its annual banquet at the Claypool hotel that evening. It was addressed by Hon. William E. Humphrey, a former Hoosier, who is now r a representative from the state of Washington. Hugh Th. Miller, of Columbus, was at the meeting and was favorably mentioned as a candidate for the United .States senate. Hon. Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, who is seeking the nomination for tenth district congressman, was also mentioned as a U. S. Senatorial candidate. .

“MR. JONES” BOUGHT BIG BILL OF GOODS

Clerks Gave Special Attention, Not Recognising Buyer as Fellow Clerk in Store. Ross Moore, clothing salesman at the Fire Sale, who has worn a mustache for 28 years, decided to have some fun' with the head saleslady in the drygoods department Thursday and .accordingly had his mustache Shaved off and then put dn a fur coat and fur cap and introduced himself as “Mr. Jones, of Wheatfleld,” when the saleslady Offered to wait on him. He proceeded to buy lavishly. Mrs. John Gwfn and Miss Florence Moore giving him their attention. After buying S2OO worth in that department he decided to buy a ladies’ hat trimmed with apples and asked to have the hat packed so that the apples would net freeze. The clerks did not get wise to the fact that the buyer was Mr. Moore, who worked on the same floor with them until the goods were all tied up ready for shipment, when he removed his coat and cap to resumed his station as a clerk.

The clerks are in a dilemma, as the proprietor holds them for all purchases after the goods are tied up and Mr. Moore, alias ‘Mr. Jones of Wheatfleld,” refuses to take the goods. There is talk of appointing a court of arbitration to settle the dispute.

COOKING PAMPHLETS BEING DISTRIBUTED

Congressman Peterson Has Supply for the First Who Ask—Suffergettes Get Busy. iW several years past a large force of scientists in the employ of the U. S, department of agriculture have been directing their investigations into the realm of cookery with a view of furnishing the housewives of the country with data relative to the mo§t economical and scientific wtay of preparing the foodstuffs for the table. The result of their labor have been printed in pamphlet form and Congressman Peterson, representating this district, has succeeded in securing a limited supply for distribution. Six pamphlets, namely, “Fish as a Pood,” “Cheese and its Economical Uses in the Diet,” "Preparation of Vegetables for the Table,” ‘The Economical Use of Meat in the Home,” “Bread and Bread Making,” and “Muttjpn and its Value in the Diet,” have been seelcted as covering the most interesting phases of the subject. Many radical departures from the old style are noted and especially in the vegetable list. By simply mailing a request to J. B. Peterson, 328 House Office Building, Washington, D. C., any housewife in the district can secure copies of these six pamphlets, which are veritable storehouses of valuable information which has been gathered at immense cost to the government.
