This is a loss of nearly a million dollars a day, much of which could be avoided if better attention were paid to the causes of fire. Electricity is not the most common cause of fire, but its misuse does result in the loss of many homes every year. Electrical Inspector V. W. Hannum wants to take the opportunity during this National Fire Prevention Week, to point out some of the common electrical hazards and to urge all citizens of the community to survey their own premises to find and eliminate all such conditions. "I wish I could visit every home in the community this week," said Hannum "and go around with householders, looking over their electrical equipment. But since I cannot do so, I want to suggest how such an examination can be made." "The basement is a good place to start. In this location, see if metal enclosures for wires are rusting away at any point due to dampness. See that the wires are not being used for supporting garden tools, or being otherwise mistreated. If temporary extensions have been installed, call a competent wireman to substitute a permanent, safe wiring material. Give the fuse box a careful inspection. It is important that these electric 'safety valves' be in good operating condition. Unscrew them out of service immediately. In replacing cords, buy those which have been approved as safe by Underwriters' Laboratories. Cords approved by the Laboratories have bracelet-like labels wrapped around them so that they may be readily identified. "It should not be necessary to warn against leaving flatirons connected when not in use, but such carelessness causes more fires than are caused by any other electrical appliance. The newer automatic irons turn themselves off when they get too hot and are consequently safer, but it should be made a rule to disconnect the iron by pulling out the cord, whenever the operator leaves the iron. "In other rooms of the house, inspect lamp sockets, wires on chain fixtures and all extension cords. If sockets are coming apart or fail to operate, have them replaced. If receptacles no longer hold attachment plugs securely, an electrician can easily install new ones. Have worn out lamp cords and extension cords replaced. “If householders will follow these simple precautions and will maintain their electrical apparatus in good repair, they need not have fear of fire from this source.” Democratic Rally Slated Saturday Event to be Held Following Parade Through Streets of Santa Ana Congressman Harry R.

The line of the parade will be from the Pacific Electric depot on East 4th street, west on Fourth street to Broadway, thence down Broadway, to First. West on First to Ross, and thence South on Ross to the high school auditorium. Each of the different various towns or communities in Orange county will participate in the parade, and will have their banners displayed in the parade." to start.

If temporary extensions have been installed, call a competent wireman to substitute a permanent, safe wiring material. Give the fuse box a careful inspection. It is important that these electric 'safety valves' be in good operating condition. Unscrew the fuses to see that they have not been tampered with in any way, and see that the fuses are rated not over 15 amperes, which is the proper size for most home circuits. "Then go up into the kitchen and look over the cords and appliances. If the heating element in the toaster has become detached from its support, or if the wires in the hinge of the waffle iron are worn out, or if the attachment pins of the percolator have become loosened, or the electrical parts of any other appliances are out of commission, take it to a competent repair man before it becomes an active hazard. Inspect the condition of all attachment cords, paying particular attention to the points where they enter plugs or appliances. If the cords are badly worn, have them replaced, and if they are frayed to the point of exposing the copper wires, take an electrician can easily install new ones.
