WOULD GUARD AGAINST FIRE
National Board of Underwriters
Urges Greater Care in the Con-
structon of Dwelling.

Realizing the large annual losses
sustained by thousands of home own
ers through construction which tends
to spread fires instead of retarding
them, the committee on construction
of buildings of the national board of
fire underwriters has issued a book
let of 115 pages on methods of in,
creasing the fre-resistive qualities Of
dwellings, says Engineering Record.
Builders everywhere, especially in To-
calitfeS outside the control of build
ing ordinances (and by far the ma
jority of ordinary dwellings are built
in such localities), will find valuable
information in this presentation of
methods for making houses reasonably
safe from fire. Particularly import
ant, not only for builders, but for.
owners and the general public, are
the sections devoted to floor and roof
construction; chimneys, flues, smoke-i
pipes and fireplaces; fire stopping
and general precautions for fire pro-
lection.
Generally recognized dangers from
| such old offenders as shingle roofs,
unlined chimneys, unprotected stair
/ ways and shafts are strikingly illus
trated, and many simple and effective,
while relatively inexpensive, devices
in construction which retard the
spread of fire are clearly explained.
Every potential house owner will find
it profitable to become familiar with
these building precautions, which may
prevent loss of life as well as of prop
erty. Engineers, through their posi-
tions in building departments and
their participation as plain citizens in
civic associations, chambers of COM
merce and similar organizations, can
let it be known that ordinary dwell
ings can readily be improved as tc
their f1re-resistive qualities, and can
direct interested parties to the proper
source of information.

Coal Dust and Phthisis.

Though coal dust does not kill germs
reason is found for thinking that it
prevents phthisis. DR.. ]. S. Haldane,
in an address to British mining en-
gineers, stated that the phthisis death
rate among golfers is lower even than
that among farm 1aborers, whose oc-
cupation is so exceptionally healthy.
1t is suggested that the smoke particles
inhaled by town dwellers and smokers
may have the effect, in moderation, of
training the lungs against really harm.

Choose Graceful Footwear.

Cold-bloodedly considered, no wom-
an with broad, short feet can improve
their appearance by encasing them in
a short vamp shoe that accents their
already too wide and too short ap-
pearance. But that is exactly what
the woman with the fat, pudgy little
foot does. Watch her in the subway

u. S. REPLIES TO
NOTE OF ALLIES
ON TREATMENT OF
SUBMARINE BOATS
Continued from Page one)

have not set forth any circumstances,
nor Is the government of the United
States at present aware of any circum-
stances, concerning the use OF war or
merchant submarines which would rem
der the existing rules of international
law inapplicab1e to them.
In view of this fact and of the no.
tice this warning of the allied powers
announced in their memoranda under
the government of the United States to
notify the governments of France,
Great Britain, Russia and Japan that,
so far as the treatment of either war
or merchant submarines in American
waters is concerned the government
of the United States reserves it's liberty
of action in all respects and will treat
such vessels as. in its opinion, be-
comes the action of power which
may be said to have taken the first
step toward establishing the principles
of neutrality and which for over a
century has maintained those prin-
ciples in the traditional spirit and with
the high sense of impartiality in
which they were conceived.
In order. however that there should
be no misunderstanding as to the at
titude of the United States, the gov
eminent of the United States Announces
to the allied powers that it holds it
to be the duty of belligerent powers
to distinguish between submarines OF
neutral and belligerent nationality and
that responsibility for any conflict that
may arise between belligerent war;
ships and neutral submarines on ac-
count of the neglect of belligerent to
so distinguish between these classes
of submarines must rest entirely upon
the negligent power.
