State Fair Marshal Roc Says They
Are Necessity and the Lees-

Soon.
WANTS THEM FIREPRoOF
Suggests Certain Requirements In the
Construction Of Buildings to
Make Them Near Flreproof
~ Possible.

Drastic rules should be adopted by
the state governing the erection OF
buildings in the cities and towns OF
the state for the prevention Of life and
property loss by fire. Improved meth
DDS OF construction should be added
by property owners to protect build
ings from fire and lightning, accord
Ing to Recommendation made by
State Fire Marshal Roe in his an
nual report which has been filed with
Governor Clarke.
II am firmly of the opinion Mr..
Roe says in the report, that the state
should by law provide certain max
imum requirements as to the construc-
ton of buildings within the fire limits
jof any particular municipality
Mr. Roe suggests certain require
ments which should be made in the
construction of buildings, such as the
material used, which should be Of as
near fireproof nature as possible. Fire
escapes should be such as to be easily
| located in case Of fire. The report
further says: Il am firmly convinced
that in the future no hotel, opera
house or other place Of public enter
tainment should be constructed in any
city unless the same Is absolutely
fireproof. No school building should
be more than two stories in height,
and should be equipped with practical
fire escapes
The report shows that sixty-three
Iowans met death in fires during the
past year. OF these, twen.y-one were
directly due to carelessness. The total
! fire loss was $5,473,642.
4 The report further recommends
many methods Of preventing fire
losses as follows:
! Provision should be made in each
town having electric lighting service
for thorough inspection Of all electric
wiring.
In no case should gasoline or other
highly inflamabfe matter be allowed
| to be stored In any store building,
but should be kept underground or in
a detached building.
M
All windows should be equipped
with shutters or be Of wire-screened
glass.
All buildings of three or more
stories should be equipped with fire
escapes.
All stairways should be constructed
lof non-combustible material.
/ Keep fire extinguishers in condition
for constant use.
Impress upon all employees the i'm
lportance OF guarding against fires.
i Equip all buildings with up-to-date
lightning rods.
i Inquire as to the safety of the
places of amusement the members OF
your family may attend.

DEBATE ON PROGRAM

An interesting program was render
ed and good time genTally enjoyed
At the Trinity mems bazaar and oys-
tier supper given at the church last
evening. Although the inclement
weather made the number present
somewhat smaller than had been
|hoped for, the AFFAIR was most en-
ioyable one nevertheless,
The supper, consisting OF oyster
$stew, crackers, celery. pickles and cof
fee was served shortly after Z o'clock.
When the supper had been finished,
the guests made raids on the various
booths, exclusively mems affairs. Div
ers ways OF spending money were pro-
vided at tlls booths.
In one end of the basement, where
the entertainment was conducted, a
/ two-seatad shoe shining parlor, known
officially as the Metropolitan shop,
was conducted. At this place 1t was
! sometimes possible to get either one,
or both of your shoes shined, although
as a rule it required considerable per-
suasive powers to get the second shoe
properly groomed.
Those who were philanthropically
inclined found an outlet for their in
clinations at ths 10 cent, grabbing
booth, where for the sum of two
nickles could be obtained large and
valuable looking package containing
an object of unknown quantity and
quality. A much patronized stand was
the booth conducted by Lester Bsver,
and Warren Neil where candy, pop
corn and peanuts could be obtainer
for the asking, when the request was
accompanied by coin Of small de
nomination.
Many south-paws, perhaps some
day to be moundsmen for a Federal
league team trtsd their skill at the
throwing rack where presents were
awarded to those able to throw ball
into barrel through small opening
at the top of the receptical. A booth
much patronized by newly married
couples was the one where furniture
made by the young men Of the class
had bean placed on sale.
The program entertainment for the
evening was exceptionally good. One
Of the big features of the evening
| was a learned debate on the proposi

be slim than fat. The affirmative was
conducted by Irving Ackerson ane
Lester Knapp, while the negative was
debated by Harry Reed and A. G. Pet

the relative merits of the two condi
tons it was ruled that the affirmative
was undoubtedly in the right.
