Mexico. George Robertson was
elected president, DIR. ]. w.
Million, vice-president, Nate Phil
lip, secretary, and W. w. Pollock,

The object of the club as set

tons, to aid and encourage enact.
ment of suitable legislation for
traffic regulation, to aid in the
building of good roads in Audrain
county and other parts of the
state and to mark the Audrain
county roads.
The membership fee will be
$500 a year, and every automo-
bile owner in the county is solicit
ed to become member. Thirty
four persons have already joined
the club.
The Club expects to stand for
effective road work in all parts
OF the county, and on that ac-
count should commend itself as a
very worthy organization.

An Unusual Record.

A. p. Pollard and wife, now of
Fulton, formerly of Mexico,
moving from here 20 years since
are still alive, so to speak, and are
healthy and happy. Mr.. Pollard
is So year sold and his wife is 70.
They had eight children and they,
too, are all living. The oldest is
90; she is Mrs. Will Holt, of near
Concord. This daughter has a
son, Ned Holt, who is a prosper
GUS farmer living three or four
miles northwest of Mexico. Mr..
Hollis wife was Miss Florence
Fry, daughter of Mr.. R. w. Fry,
the latter a grocery merchant OF
this city. Mr.. A. P. Pollard is a
highly respected citizen. Before
coming to Mexico he was in the
mercantile business at Concord, a
town at that time as important as
Auxvasse is now. While he lived
in Mexico Mr.. Pollard was asso-
clated with w. W. Harper iii
business. That he and his wife
and all their eight children are
still living is a remarkable record.

ELY BLOCK CONDEMNED.

g. The condemnation by the city com
mission of the old Ely block will meet
with popular approval. This block
was condemned a number of years ago,
in fact it is said that on two different
occasions in past years, the building
vas examined and pronounced unsafe,
hut no steps to actually close it up
were taken until the new commission
found the condition hat it was in.
City Engineer Anders after an ex-
animation stated that the building
was out of plumb about two feet on the
north side. The structure is merely a
brick Veneered building, built on a lot
that was formerly a slough and there
was the danger that it might buckle"
and collapse at any time, with extreme
danger that some person would be
badly injured OF killed.
The building has beer ordered clos
ed and sufficient space around it will
be roped off to insure the safety of the
public. 1t is unfortunate that the own
er should be put to loss, but the safety
of the public demanded this action on
the part of the commission and they
are ito be commended for the prompt
way they handled the matter.

PAY THE BOYS.

The Forum has started d subscrip-
ton list to raise funds to pay the
prizes that were awarded last summer
to the school children's garden contest.
1t appears that there are no funds
available for the purpose and the eff
fort to raise them has been neglected.
The city annot afford to let this go
by default. In fact it has been ne
elected too long already. To the child
who spent long weary hours in taking
care Of a garden in the hope of reward
and who was told that he had won an
award, this failure to receive what he
had been promised is almost a tragedy.
1t leaves an impression that will take
years to efface.
Only the small amoun of 1925 is
needed to pay off these prizes and The
Forum commends this subscription
list to all generous Fargoans.

Fire Safety Without Fire Escapes
Work Out by New York Engineer

James w. Collins in Boston Tran
script: The triangle waist" fire in
New York city, two years ago yester-
day, by which nearly $50 persons lost
their lives, took place in the Asch
building, a structure of the modern
loft type, and. resembling. hundreds of
others, ranging in height from twelve
to sixteen stories, that have been
erected within recent years for flight
manufacturing" purposes: Until that
fire, such buildings were to
be IMMUNE from disaster of the. kind,
Tor the building laws, were definite up
on details of construction, especially
a sto fire escapes and the size and
placing Of stairways. The stairs were
usually in separate towers, cut off by
fire walls from the main building ex-
cept for. a door on each floor. Ap-
parently nothing on earth could be
SAFER than that, for it seemed that in
case of fire people had only to step
into the tower and walk down to the
street unframed. -:
But that disaster taught people diff
ferent. In a little office uptown there
was an industrial engineer, FL. F. J..
Porter, who had made a speciality of
fire prevention and of organizing fire
drills in factories. There had never
been enough fire drill demand to keep
m engineer busy. Among the many
concerns he had approached, offering,
without success, to install a fire drill,
was the company whose employees
were then lying dead and injured.
now, suddenly, commissions pour
ed In. So many firms wanted fire
drills organized that for a fortnight
Mr.. Porter had a couple Of young
engineer assistants going about maxi

The demand came largely from the
big modern loft buildings. Mr.. Porter
a seldom had occasion to study such
a building. in connection with q fire

confined to admitted fire-traps-

fire drills for loft buildings, he dis
covered something that kept him
awake several nights and eventually

envy of fire drills. For he found that
gency to get the people out OF a
twelve-story factory building. The

they would empty the building
