Letter From Sibley

Bearing upon the same subject, The Age-Herald has received the following letter from John w. Sibley:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The recent disastrous fire in the Equt- able building in New York has naturally turned the attention of people to the question of what is a fireproof building, as indicated by the excellent opinions in this mornings paper from the various architects.
 The people at large are interested in fireproof material not only for large office buildines but smaller store buildings and residences.
 The experience of San Francisco and Baltimore in their disastrous confiagra- tions demonstrates most conclusively that the best real fireproof material is burned clay, whether it be in the form of terra cotta. fireproofing or brick. The reason for this is self evident from the fact that the burned clay product goes through baptism of fire in it's manu- facture at higher degree of tempera- ture than prevails in the severest con- fagration. A notable instance in the Baltimore fire was the case of the Con tfnental National bank building of IA stories, built of common and press brick, and trimmed with terra cotta, floors and partitions of fireproofng. with steel frame skeleton Buildings in the same vicinity, in which marble and granite had been used, melted like water. whereas the Continental building passed through this intense fire with practi caliy no damage at all only one "I' beam being found fraction of an inch out of true after the fire. Even in our skyscrapers the ornamental terra cotta is used only on the prominently ex- posed sides. whereas the main walls of the building are almost invariably con- tA1 @f ,x., I~x- x-ff1r
 Recent investigations throughout the country show that with the advance in price of lumber, and the scarcity of same that the comparative cost of a brick residence with the frame. is very little higher, and after two or three years of repairs and painting and the extra cost of insurance, the brick house. is really cheaper.
 If brick work ever gives way it is due to some powerful mechanical force falling timbers, or explosion, or earth quakes--never to fire.'
 The great confagration hazard present in every American city is due to the use of wood in building construction. This Is not theory: it is a fact stated upon the authority of the National Fire Pro tection association. Do you want this hozard to apply to your house?
 In America the fire loss in 1907 was s2sl per capita. In Europe it was. s cents Here is the answer: America used 800 feet of, lumber per capita. Europe 60 feet. Europe used brick. Even Russia, the country we are accustomed to speak of as half civilized. has a per capita loss less than half of ours. If ours had been the samo as Russia's in 1907. we would have saved sll6.o0o.oOo in that. one year. Russia, uses brick
 Suppose that your neighbor has a frame house. If it catches fire in the dead of

night, before you are awake. your own house. if it Is frame, will be ablaze. And before the fire engine can get there it will be a ruin. But if you live within brick walls you are safe. A pail of water with brick is equal to whole fire department with wood.
 You regret your neighbours misfortune, but is there any reason why your house should be burned along with his? That is expensive sympathy. Rather would you be able to offer shelter to his frightened and shivering family.
 As a dweller fin a brick house is pro- tected from without, so is he protected inside. The experts tell us that fires in homes start most often from flues or electric wires in the walls. If the walls are brick, the defective flue or the ''short circuit" can do no damage
 Fire Is spread by drafts There are fewer drafts in house of brick than in any other kind. If fire starts there at all it starts in the open, where it is quickly detected and can be quickly put out It cannot gain headway. as in frame house, hidden in the wall: nor In the floor, because the spaces between the ends of the floor beams are filled in with brick, and there are no drafts.
 We now come to the business mean ing of risk" The whole story of brick versus wood, condensed, is simply this: Generally speaking, the insurance rates on brick buildings are not much more

BOWLING LEAGUE
 LATEST PROPOSAL Athletic Club Will Take Up Subject With Other
 Organizations

Arrangements have been nearly com pleted for bowling contest by wire. Prof. Miles of the Birmingham Athletic club, has formulated plans by which the choice bowling team of the Athletic club will play the New Orleans Y. M C. A. on certain nights, and that inn medIately after the game is over each will wire the score of the match to the other set of bowlers. Then the scores will be compared and the team that has made the highest score will be declared winner.
 This idea grew out of the rifle league. The proposition of Professor Miles is to have several teams throughout the south in d league, and to arrange certain days upon which to bowl
 The secretary of the Y. NJ. IA, Di Bennedetto has written that he has taken up the matter with the proper authorities and that they will announce their decision within a short while. It is expected that New Orleans will accept the invitation Of the Athletic club.
 If New Orleans accepts the invitation it is expected that other clubs through out the south will be written to and an attempt will be made to form a league The ten pin artists around the club are enthusiastic over the proposal.

on them. This sudden change in tenn perature will show whether the con- struction will shrink or fall.
 q consider the modern fireproof build ings, such as the American Trust build ing, to be absolutely immune from fire except that which might mark the de- struction of the wooden furnishings of the offices of such structures.
 Tt is only a question of time. in my estimation, when the use of wooden fur nishings and carpets will be eliminated from office buildings and then it will be possible to build bonfrein one end of the office with no harm whatever re- sulting to either furnishings. floors or walls"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-01-11

than one-half as high as on wooden buildings.
 The vicissitudes of fortune have com pelled many man to sell the house that he built to live In. Here again enters the question of risk One of the first things d purchaser wants to know about is fire protection. If you tell him that your house is brick. you play trumps." You have given the one answer that is sure to be satisfactory.
 We have quoted high authority upon the value of brick as fire resisting sub stance. Expert indorsement, though, Is merely the result of experience, and any one of us can learn, first hand, of the actual achievements of brick. Ask any architect or contractor, ask any insur- ance man, ask your friend who lives In brick house. They will all tell you that brick has won out. Yours respect fully. JOHN w. SHELBY.

 A Baltimore man whose son is .. student at Princeton. has had frequent occasion to remonstrate with his boy touching his extravagance: but the father invariably "comes to the front when request is made for further funds.
 In his last letter to his son, the father. after the usual recital. stated that he was forwarding a check for $50 and he wound up with:
 My son. your studies are costing me a great deal.''
 To which the hopeful in his next letter replied
 ''I know it, father; and I don't study very hard, either"
