Reducing Fire Hazard in Mills

This is a mighty good time to talk about mill firps., Any time is a good time for that, however, since this, menace is one that can undoubtedly be'legsened by carp.

Lumbermen's ljnderwriting Alliance, of which Ul S. Eppers,on Underwriting Company, of Kansas City isr At-. torney-In-Fact, has a bulletin out that is interesting reading, going to all their subscribers. It reads in P.art:

"Within the past thirty days a mill that had run 22 years without a fire; another which had barely ended its fiftieth, year; and a third'acquired but,a year ago--a-ll,stlbstantial,. profitable, badly needed mills-feel under the scourge of' the destroying demon, appealed in vain for r.escue from his fiery talons, and helpless, were devoured with.insatiable greed. Can it be necessary that the fire dragonrs hunger be appeased with our most valuable and most essential possessions? No lumberman,will answer in the affirmative who thoughtfully considers the facts in connection with' the passing of these mills."

The Bulletin then recites the cause of the three fires men;, tioned, all of which were preventable. One of them caught. from a slab pit fire (in the South) on a day when the milli was shut down, attd no 'crew was there- to fight the stari; of the fire.

One of them caught from the flame of'an oxy-acetylene gas welding machine brought into the mill to m,ake a weld;. ing job. i

One caught from a hot box on the id.ler under a band' mill, and the flames were whirled all over the mill by. whirling belts.

The Bulletin strongly recommends the generous use of; PAINT or WHITEWASH for the interior of all mills a$" a fire preventative.

A Fine Argument For Good Paint

Here is a paragraph we plucked from a retail lumber dealer's ad that will bear repeat'ing: i

"DON'T buy paint because it costs a few cents less pep, can. The best paint is worth the cost, not only because iti gives better protection, looks better, and lasts,longer, butl also because each gallon covers more surface, a4..d the whole, job really costs less at the start."
