labor building at Kansas and Overland

drill which was arranged for the ben

billions Of fire drilling ever held in
FL Paso, and was witnessed by a
crowd Of several hundred people who
repeatedly applauded the firemen in
their efforts.
Il required but a few minutes to
raise the four story aerial truck TO
the roof Of the building Then fire
men began a hasty ascent, some car
rying lines of hose on their backs and
others working on the too Of the
building with a rope with which hose
was tapidly drawn up. A 80 foot lad
der was also placed under the fire es-
cape at the southern end Of the build

placed around his legs and waist
The new life belts and life saving net
were also used by the firemen.

Government to

London, Eng, Feb. 19.-It is an
nounced that the government has de-
cided 10 close the great museum in
London. including the British museum
with the solitary exception of the read
ing room. which will only be open for
a few hours daily.
The result Of this will be a direct
and notable blank in LONDON life, as
viewed from the heights OF art, science
and literature. very important
phase of this decision viii be that a
vast army Of students, professional ar
lists and researchers among the arch
ives of the state vii be absolutely cut
OF from their occupations and even in
some cases, from their means OF liv-
ing.
On the other hand, the government
claims that the priceless national
treasures stored in the British museum.
Natural History museum and other
great galleries are absolutely at the
mercy OF Zeppelin raids and that these
must be stored and carefully hidden
away in safe keeping ere another
sweeping attack is made on the British
metropolis. To this has to be added
the great saving that would be fol-
lowed by their closing to visitors, do
nestle and foreign.
