reports the number of Ohio fires for
December at 440 and the Are loss
$906,473. This Is a reduction of $41.-
900 over the loss ot December. 1921.
"We hope that the year's figure* will

"(bough this has been a bad year for
fire* all over the United States."
Detective flues and sparks from
chimneys caused 102 Ohio fires in December with a loss of $77 857. Electricity caused 43 Ares with $:i2,681 as the
toll. Match carelessness was responsible for $26,096 of the loss, and rubber
gas tubes were responsible for two
fires. Tbere were 10 Incendiary blazes
loss $4,1 SO, and four coal oil stoves
blew $11,820 worth of property into
the loss total column. Spontaneous
combustion in 8 fire* ate up $137,899
and 11 gasoline Ores cost $5,182.
From figures just compiled b.v tbe
Are marshal 376 people burned to
death last keur In Ohio. This is an
Increase of 33 over 1920, due to the
unvented stove, gasoline and coal oil
und other coal substitutes. Of the
dead 138 were babies or children, 192
youths and middle aged, and 46 were

injured by Are last year was 746, an
increase of 78, Of these 177 were babies and children; 639 were youths
and middle aged und 28 were aged

gasoline and coal oil, matches and
bonAres. There wus a decrease in Injuries due to open Aims, home Ares
and electricity.
