DEATH

yawns at us from every side. We who would learn the mysteries of creation must spend our time dodging death. On every side lurks treachery—water drows, the earth consumes and fire burns. All unnatural deaths and calamaties could be averted. Earthquakes and storms could be prevented if we only knew how. Take fire —it always starts small. 95 per cent of all fires could be nipped in the bud with a 35-gallon chemical tank and hose. Such a tank throws chemicals sixty feet and discharges seven minutes, r Many (cities are getting the chemicals to ithe fire in a hurry by having them (mounted on fast, sure-starting Oldsmobile trucks. —Hugh Kirk.
