MANLEY Mrs. Thomas McKay returned home on 'Wednesday last after convalescing with her parents, Mr, and Mrs. C. Eckalt one week after leaving the hospital. The many friends of 'Miss Ileen Eckart are pleased to learn she is improving from -Iter suffering with a felon on her finger. (Rumour had it that Mr. George Welsh had returned to our burg from Stratford, but the telephone message was a 6tb. Mr. John A. Eckert is the busiest man in our burg taking care of his baby chicks and rebuilding used bat- teries of all kinds, which seem to have as much pep as ever. John is a hustler as, a machinist. I SMELL SMOKE (Half -past three in the morning, Mr. John Doe, asleep on the top floor of his salburban home, is partially arous- ed, then sits up with a jerk. Smoke! He leaps out of bed and in two jumps is across the •floor. He yanks open the door. Poof! Mr. Doe is done for. What happened? Well, Mr. Doe did what thousands of others have done -he inhaled air heated to a tempera- ture around 700 degrees. Though the fire that heated the air was 3'5 feet below, it killed him. That blaze broke out in the cellar. The cellar door was, of course, light- ly built. The flames ate their way through it. Pent-up until now, this outlet increased' their fury. Smoke and intense heat poured into the ground -floor hall. With a swish they were sucked into the open stair well, and in the next moment a solid col- umn of heat was pushing against the hall ceiling on the top floor. Right at that moment Mr. Doe jerked open his door. And since his windows were open, creating a perfect draft, the heat 'whipped through his door like a streak of lightning. This may all sound unreal, but it is exactly what causes more fire deaths than any other single happen- ing. I've counted 13 bodie's in ono. upstairs room, all dead without a cu amuseelhx ed #lxte#,� -vllie�, ho ,,A 11afo u a d 'e" ng'► Qv loncinno es to :tbel tap; fieb , S n, Oielih.tthe #ire wisp ba plainl1*, Ontined to the cellar, , If 'yltu ars e'er ,taug'h't in this Pre- dicament, never ppm that door until you have felt it with your fiat band and found it cool, If it ins hot, matte for an open window immediately. If the height is such that you an get out safely.go. If not, yell for help. As long as that door is closed behind you, the time you can safely wait for rescue will be prolonged.; If it ie op- en, your chances are prejty thin. Twenty-eight people die every day from fire in this country. Most of them die in their homes. Every two minutes of day and night a home burns soanewhere in the United States. To my mind the curse of this country is its poorly built houses with deadly open stair wells; with flimsy ` ground floors that let a cellar fire loose in fifteen minutes; with defective chim- neys on unsound foundations; with furnaces built close to wooden parti- tions; with tinderbox roofs; with cheap lath -and -plaster walls and no fire stops .between floors to prevent flames . from racing through their en- tire area. ' • Our failure as home builders seems to be that we would rather have a sun porch than a fire -stopped cellar; or a cute little breakfast nook instead of a fire -resisting door. But having been a fireman for forty-three years, those dead bodies on the top floor always impress me more than the handsome orchid -and -green bathroom that we saw when we went through on the overhaul. "Fire -stopping" is probably the most important single factor of resi- dence ,building construction from the viewpoint of fire safety. Walls and floors have hollow spaces. Unless proper care has been taken in con- struction it will usually be found that these spaces connect with each other and in effect act as flues', reaching from the basement to the attic. A fire originating in the basement or closet is likely to creep up through these concealed spaces and thus in- volve the whole house almost before it is discovered. "Fire -stopping" con- sists in closing off these open spaces in the walls and floors at intervals so that there is no free path for the spread of fire. If done 'when the house is built, the expense is almost negligible. If a building has not been "fire -stopped," the most effec- tive measure that can be taken is to protect the basement ceiling complete- ly from wall to wall, leaving no holes or cracks, using plaster on metal lath or a substantial gypsum wall- board. .1 LIVE STOCK MARKET Toronto, March 10. -Shipments by rail were about even in volume with the previous Mon- day, but arrivals by truck were light, due to bad roads following the week end storm, and the offering of cattle for sale at the Union Stock Yards was down some 200 head compared with the same day last week at the 3.70 were' et were' M► 1. t ;geed kfflere, aodl sie}X 't om t2uth, trading 'tomato' ipml eve + ia' trloae,, At 4•c a 1, QR 40,44 bs k.
