an injured person was taken. :.

The results obtained indicate that the
total annual cost Of fires in the United
States. II buildings were as nearly fire.
proof as in Europe. would be 100000,
and that therefore the United States is
paying annually preventable tax OF
more than 1886 200, 600 or nearly enough
to build Panama canal each year.
The author Of the paper made careful
observations OF the great fires at Toronto,
Sioux City. Baltimore, San Francisco
Chelsea and elsewhere. He believes that
no structure OF the future should be bu.ft
Of wood or contain any wood. The il
creasing cost Of lumber and the improved
methods OF fireproof construction, lie
holds, have made 1t possible to build non
combustible structures a no greater first
cost than wooden ones.
Mr.. Gilbreth believes that the perma-
nent elimination Of fires can never lie
thoroughly and completely brought about
without government aid. and suggests the
following lines along which government
assistance can be directed:
Passing laws restricting the use OF
wood in buildings.
Levying taxes discriminating in favor
OF fireproof houses and against wood in
construction.
Educating the people by government
documents on how to build f1reproof
houses.
Establishing a government bureau for
disseminating information regarding hon.
est, unbia sed fire tests on material, to-.
gether with government experiments on
different full-sized buildings.

WOULD LEAVE WOOD

Contractor Believes in This
Way Heavy Loss by Fire
Could Be Prevented.

That modern methods Of fireproof build
ing construction could be depended ,upor,
to prevent fires is the belief OF Frank b.
Gilbreth. a contractor, whose paper or
Fires: Effects on Building Materials and
Permanent Elimination" was recently
read at the meeting of tho American So
ciety OF Mechanical Engineers, New York
city. The paper discussed the enormou.
annual fire loss of the country, showed
the effect Of a destructive fire on typi-
cal steel-frame building and outlined the
methods by which the permanent elimina-
ton of fires may be assured.
Attention is called to the fact that the
total cost of fires in the United States in
1907 amounted to almost half the cost of
the new buildings constructed in tho
country for the year. The total fire loss
including that of forest fires and marine
losses. amounted to more than $456, 49,
coo. In addition to this waste Of wealth
and natural resources 40 persons were
killed and 1854 were injured In fires. The
buildings consumed. IL placed on lots OF
sixty-five feet frontage, would line both
sides Of a street extending from New
York to Chicago. A person jeurneying

AUTOMOBILES AND HEALTH
Doctors Agree That Effects Are Ben
efcial in Most Cases.
From the New York Globe


What is the effect Of automobiling on
health? The question is engaging the at
tention of our foremost insurance COM
panies
Recently D.. James Tyson presented a
paper in Philadelphia on the effect OF the
use OF the automobile upon the heart
HIS conclusions were favorable. 1t gently

air. moderate amount OF exercise, and
mental diversion. things which he says
have an excellent influence in these cases.
In the Medical Record for August -. Dr..
ID. Bryson Deiavar of New York discusses
the matter from another standpoint, that

upper air passages. While admitting tnat
the subject must be carefully investigate

that properly uIad in suitable cases. the
automobile may be valuable thcra-

motoring would seem to be baG thing.
But in many subacute and chronic GA :
tarrhal conditions II appears 10 be dis

patient of long standing has been cured.

concerning the effect upon patients suf-
fering from throst or pulmonary tuber-
culosis appears to be less definite.

itself. And who shall say that the indi-

| While the big Office building in cites
like Washington has become Recognized
as the best possible way in wpich the
business of a city can be condensed INTO
space where il may be carried on Will
| out an enormous loss OF time, there are
probably very few people In Washington
who know much abont the cost or theS1
structures or what is involved in thelT
successful mana cement.
! II is rot at all unlikely that the tefaH'
who arrives at the building every mo n
| ing and is carried all the way from ~"
! or three to ten or twelve stories up IN
his Office BY the elevator has an idea that
the rent he PAYS for the comfort and con-
vcnieuce is somewhat eXtortionate. ana
that the owner. or owners. are obtaining
from the building an immense income. 1t
may be that the rent is. perhaps. $40
per square foot. or in that neighborhood.
and the total income POSSIBLY runs INTO
large figures. but against such there are
innumerable expenses which the average
Washington person never takes into con-
sideration.
In many cities large Office building OF
the first-class type. with ten to twelve
floors for business. costs about Nl.Nb.OO,
which may not be rated high by the per-
son computing offhand on the gross IN

the expense of operating such building
will show conciusivcly that. after all. the
owner receives only fair percentage on
the Investment.
Il is fair to assume that a return OF
~ per cent will he expected. which would
amount to Sl.OoQ.OO. Now if this were all

all the offices be occupied during the
year the gross income would amount to
about a hundred thousand dollars. but it
is exceptional to have a building filled
all the time. Against this amount is an ar
ray OF expenditures that will make it
fade away like a freezer of ice cream
at Sunday school picnic. The first
item of expense is the tax. which will
not be at all too high at $4,000. Not the
considered. is the salary roll Of the agent
and the employees. which, in the case OF
building OF the type and character I'M
der consideration. will amount to about
$4,000. Next comes the coal bill. for
heat and power. about 81 ,2Oo. and $1,000
for the electricity and power. The insur-
ance will call for 5000 more. and the
water tax about 500. The telephone and

about 500. Other items of moment that
