CHIEF BERNARD A. LYNCH POINTS OUT COMMON CAUSES OF FIRE

Always cm the alert to keep to ‘k mlnimuih' the t6l! of lives and thousands of dollars in property damage taken yearly by fire, Bernard a. Lynch, popular chief of the Indianapolis Fire Prevention Bureau, has issued a public warning years ol experience and an intimate knowledge of human nature, have shown’ to be necessary with the coming of cold weather. The most common causes of Are, the chief points out in a clear forceful way, are due tc carelessness, ignorance, bad management bad-ha-bits, housekeeping. The actual'meat* upon which the guant, grim spectre of thef'tlre hazzard thrives consist <#'•1116 'iollbwliig:' dirt, dust, and futihpih; stbrage ' in closets, celfairt' aihd httiqkr ttiT, points, greases afrd fats; gasoline, benzine and napthaf ’ RertttlOne'*' li< dll; stoves. Sparks from smbke^ ksheis 'aPd cinderai; ;CelVrtd5, gas; gasiuMpyies; stove, or,smoke ; pipe*.; ,,matches; (Jryjn&.fih)thea.ap4. laundries., rfettT, BUSY* AN#‘‘RUBBISH.— A ’dirty’house burns faster than a clean one. Dirt and dust are a help to'Are ip getting started and spreading.’ 'Dust'’ hurts ; fikd powder, and when there is enough of it to be stirred up by the draft of the Are, an explosive condition is created by the Are. This happens in buildings of large area, either great length or breadth, or of great height of the rooms, such as exist in theaters, church, car barns, and railroad terminals. Rubbish in a pile or heap or loosely scattered about makes a bonAre waiting to be lit. A spark from any source, a match thrown

down, a dfb’pped cigar dr'cigarette, any increased heat, any i’ctuhl and direct cause of - Are is enabled tc do its work just because the rub blsh 'is there to be operated on. Without dirt and rubbish, most of the direct starters of Are would be made harmless. It is not alone that dirt and rubbish are'handy to start a Are, but they are ready • and waiting for a small trail of Are that is looking for something to feed on. Many Area that are started and spread would die out harmlessly if they | did not reach a convenient pile of rubbish. Then the thin trail of Aame bursts into a full grown Are, the entire room or Aoor i« fl'ir'* . with smoke and Aame and there is no proof or evidence oi how C i*;Are started. If someone had been there at the start, they would have seen the Arst spark or flame and would have been able to uei-ect real cause. Many if not most flres that have to be put down as not ascertainable are probably explainable in this way. Certainly'every Areman can tell of numerous cases where Ares were caught before they had spread beyond their starting point or had left their trail to indicate their beginnings. What is true of dirt and rubbish in starting and spreading Ares inside buildings is equally true of outside Ares. In case of Are in adjoining, nearby or distant buildings, dirt and rubbish are a great factor and conAagrations in many cities are said to have been due to rubbish and old wood in the rear yards knd open spaces.

The expected emergence of “hard” liquor from the dark shadows of the bootleg “stach” to a place of legalized respectability has wrought already marvelous changes in the manners and modes of Indianapolis colored people. The furtive threads in the semidarkness of the “hootch” joints have given way to a triumphant march to the “bar” where shortly all known varieties of mixed and unmixed drinks of more-or-less •aged in wood whiskey, wet and dry gin, run champakne (a thing practically unknown in the colored sections) Rhine wines, and other bases for the “great unconscionable Thief of man’s better judgement” will challenge the jaded thirsts puntsh-ment-loving inveterate alcohol
