FIRETRAPS NUMEROUS.
Urgency of Erecting Safer Build
ines for Public Use.

In a statement made public last night
Richard L. Humphrey. engineer in charge
of the structural materials laboratories of
the government, discusses recent fire hor-
rors and asserts that fire traps as bad or
worse than that which cost the lives of so
many school children at Collinwood Ohio
exist in nearly every village and town,
and in many of the large cities He urges
the passage of laws to prohibit the erec-
ton of anything except a structure of the
highest fire-resisting type. especially when
il is used school, hospital. theater or
other structure in which people assemble
in large numbers.
The city of New York is full of fire
traps he said. and il is a miracle that
q great fire has not wiped out the greater
part OF the business district.
1T IS matter of record borne out by
insurance statistics that this country
spends enormous sums of money in pro-
vidinS equipment for fighting fires. while
foreign countries spend their rnoney in
building structures which offer the great
est resistance TO fire. The per capita loss
in this country yearly exceeds S. against
an annual loss of II of the principal cities
of Europe of 81 cents per capita. Esti-
mating the population of the country at
S0W0.OOO. the loss from fire here Is $40
OeoWo. If we had the same conditions
that prevail in European cities our loss
would be but S26 400, 0O0 year"
