- Many accidental deaths each year are caused by carelessness in the home leading to fires. Such causes are leaving plugged in irons unattended, standing next to gas heaters wearing combustible clothing, hiding frayed electrical cords underneath rugs, placing pennies behind fuses, smoking in bed, dealing with electrical equipment while bathing, burning rubbish in unventilated areas, leaving open paint buckets and oil soaked rags lying around, and using gasoline as a home dry cleaning fluid. With the latter, commercial dry cleaning establishments are subject to safety regulations which are not present in the home. And commercial establishments are run by those who know the dangers of the materials with which they are working.

- DirectorJames A. FitzPatrickStarsJames A. FitzPatrickPenrhyn StanlawsCarrie Jacobs BondThe drive from Riverside, California to Phoenix, Arizona is affectionately known as the Cactus Trail. The prickly pear cactus is the most common cactus variety in this area, with other cactus varieties being the saguaro - the flower from which is Arizona's state flower - and the organ pipe. Other noted plants species in the area include the slow growing Joshua tree (which many mistake for a cactus and which is one of the oldest known plant species), the ocotillo (its scarlet flowers which are known as the firecracker of the desert), the misnamed century plant (which lives only up to seventy-five years) and the yucca. Starting in Riverside, other sights of note include: the Mission Inn in Riverside whose unique style was the brainchild of Frank Miller; the Chapel of St. Francis in Riverside, which, because of its dedication to aviation, is the site of many weddings associated with aviators; the Camelback Mountain outside of Phoenix, so named for its shape; and the Camelback Inn, a resort in which to rest and relax and after the journey from Riverside.
