Show HE'S ALL OF THAT. The match dropper Is a constant menace to life and property. Now ho lets the little brand fall into a street grating, to fgnite trash In a shop or factory cellar, for a liter conflagration costing a vast sum. Again he tosses It from a window to drop upon the hat of a woman passlug below, causing her to be bady burned Sometimes he sets fire to his own premises by flip-ping flip-ping his fire into a wastebasket or pile of papers. He never looks to see where tho SDark falls and never cares until later, when he realizes that his single act of carelessness has destroyed de-stroyed great values or taken human life. Every match dropper is a poten tial firebug and should bp treated as a dangerous person. Washington Star. |
