Wammg of Danger in Use of Gasoline Six deaths have resulted from gasoâ€" line fires so far in 1936, and many persons have suffered sever>s and disâ€" figuring burns. In the most tragic fire repcrted this year, four young children were burned to death and their father was sadly burned when a bottle of gasoline brcke on being taken into their warm heome in Western Ontario. A few woaeks ago, a London service staâ€" ticn attendant succumbed to burns he received in a garage fire. At the time Hon. Arthur W. Roebuck, K.C., Atâ€" torneyâ€"General for Ontario, issues a strict warning against the dangers of using gasoline for cleaning purposes fcllowing a terrible loss of life and seriâ€" ous personal injuries in Ontario in reâ€" cent months which has been reported to him by Fire Marshal W. J. Scott. Nct only is there the personal danger to the user of the gasoling, but also the highest court in Ontario in a recent case held a concern liable for $11,000 damages resulting from a fire which ocâ€" curred when washing a garage floor with gasoline. Both danger and damage from fires through using gasoline for cleaning purposes can be avoided, says the Attcrneyâ€"General, by using one of the recognized cleaning solvents preâ€" pared by the leading oil companies which ars not only as efficient as gasoâ€" line, but also somewhat cheaper in Jrice.

The court case as to the civil liaâ€" bility from the careless use of gasoâ€" jline was the action of Hutson vs. United. Motor Service, in which the |L()m:ario Court of.Appeal gave a judgâ€" ment the: end of February in which the defendant garage proprietors are comâ€" pellsd.to pay $11,000 and costs to the owner of the building and his insurance companies following a disastrous fire ‘causeq by using gasoline to wash the flcor in‘<<the garage. In delivering the judgment, Mr. Justice Middleton says in part: ‘"Gasoline is a dangerous subâ€" tance. Gaosline vapour is far more . Incluided â€"in. the igniting sparks for these gasoline fires were a furnace and an electric cord connection, also an acetylene blow torch, all of which ircadfly ignited the very inflammable ‘vapours from the gasoline. Petroleum products accounted for 138 fires in the first three months of this year. Alâ€" though gasoline was the most serious to life in this period, kerosene was also responsible for many injuries, espeâ€" cially when used in the common pracâ€" tice of lighting stove dfires. In one inâ€" stance, an <xplosion occurred while kercsene was being pcoured on a slowâ€" burning fire, burning two persons Jsadly and damaging their home. of~the accident he was cleaning the ficor with gasoline. A short time preâ€" viously two garage employees were th» victims of painful burns inâ€" similar fires also cccurring when washing the floor with gasoline. Another death was reâ€" perted from Windsor from the use of gasoline for cleaning purposes. After scrubbing floors in a Windsor home with gasoline, a domestic was enveloped in. flames which burneéd clothes and inflicted most szrious painful body injuries. . TIMES THE WORLD .. ...... .

Valliquette‘s story was to the effect that he hid the parcel under a coal car but that when he went back to get it he found it gone. It is expected that after Valliquette left the parcel under the car someone came along and tessed the package into the car, proâ€" sably not knowing or bothering as to what it containeu. The finding of the parcel, however, will come as a great relief to the authorities, whose chief worry was that the poison might fali into the hands of children who might test it or leave it lying around whers it might cause tragedy. The North Bay and district police were just as anxious to find the dangerous â€"parcel as the Timmins police nave besn in recovering the hundreds of dangerous detonators stolen recently from Leo Mascioli‘s ofâ€" fice at the gravel pit on the ocutskirts of the town.

DRINK " TEMACAMI RICKEY ¢* > A Tingling, Refreshing Beverage and Mixer Mail and Empire:â€"An English girl whose heart stopped beating for 185 minutes said when she was restored to life, "It was like nothing I have ever known before.‘" But perhaps she hadn‘t been around much. "The mighty Moose River, dark and sullen, that rolls into James Bay, up Moosornee way, no doubt is jealous of the attention being given its namesak® down in Nova Scotia. But likely, in its day, the northern river also has seen many tragedies." An editorial nots in The Toronto Globe on Monday of this week says:â€" Aiter an article had been publisied in last Thursday‘s issue in regard to a number of cases in Ontario where atâ€" tempts had been made to sell counterâ€" feit gold as the precious metal itself, word come‘ from Toronto in regard to still ancther of these cases. Abraham Shafir, of Spadina avenue, Toronto, has license to deal in cld gold ,but h claimed he was astonished when two men walked in on him ilast week and wanted to sell him a canvas of what appeared to be pellets of pure gold that didn‘t loosk old but rather new. The contents of the bag weighed sight pounds and was supposed to reâ€" present $2,000 worth of gold. While Shafir was looking at the "gold" two Toronto detectives walked into the store and projected themselves into the "bargain." The detectives asked more questions about that "gold" than Shafir had thought of and the final scene in that part of the chapter was the arrest of Phillip Matte, giving his address as Sherbourne street and Louis Bellmore, who. said he lived on Sullivan street, Tcronto. The firstâ€"named was a man of 56 and Bellman‘s age is givén as 39. The Toronto despatches give no further descrip:tion of either of the men. The two men will be jointly charged on a of attempled fraud. An analyâ€" sis of the pellets is said to show that they are simply lead painted over with gilt paint. The moral would seem to be that no one should buy "highâ€"grad>" gold because that is against the law, and no one should buy "fake‘" gold as that is against common sense. All these ‘"fake‘"‘ gold cases at present should impress the lesson that there are no philanthrophists in the highâ€"grade busiâ€" ness, and also no honest men peddling gold from door to door.
