Effect of Wooden
Single Roofs.

This conflagration, together
with two of the other fires oc-
curing at the same time, em-
phasizes the east with which
spreading fires may develop in
cities where wooden shingle
roofs predominant, even when
the fire department is mainly
we'll equipped and manned. 1t
illustrates the startling sudden
ness with which such fire may
grow into a conflagration under
favorable conditions.
For the period of eight hours,
the remaining part of the city,
including the business district,
was practically without fire pro-
lection. A shift of the wind
during the progress of the fire
would have resulted in a CORE
spending change of the path or
devastation, and might have in
yolved the business district
where the high values of the
city exist; for it would have
been impossible to stop the
spread through the shingle-roof
area, which even now extends to
the edge of that district.
AS already stated, the chief value
of such an analysis consists in thu
possibility of its application to otheI
cities. Ten years ago, the United
States geological survey. after an ex
haustive study, made this statement
The danger of conflagration
is present in every city and vii
lage of the United States, and
with 1t the possibility of large
loss of life. The most efficient
fire department in the country
is powerless when once a fire
gets under considerable head
way in locality where bad con-
struction prevails.
This statement is largely true to
day. A few cities have taken steps
TO reduce their hazard, but the vas
majority are heedlessly waiting fol
their own conflagration to occur
Conflagrations are not necessary
evils. They may be avoided by tho
mere taking of proper precautions
National board engineers have made
exhaustive surveys of more thar
three hundred leading American
cities, and in each case have worked
out plans which, If adopted, woulc
for their safety, Their re
port on San Francisco conditions
published six months before the grea'
contained these words
San Francisco has violated all
underwriting traditions and pre-
cedents by not burning up.

CHICAGO GRAIN BOARD
TO BE CLOSED UNLESS
RULES ARE AMENDED

Chicago, July 1S.-Joseph p. Grit
fin, president of the board of trade.
issued circular today IN which he
appealed to the membership to rally
to the support of the directors in a
vote to be taken tomorrow relative
to amending the rules so as to give
the board full power in suspension
or enforcement of existing rules. One
sentence caused much speculation. It
follows:
1.-THE responsibility OF keeping this
market place open no longer rests
with your board of directors, but
rather the responsibility is yours"
1t is learned that some members
object to the boards recent action
fixing maximum grain prices and
the proposition to amend the rules
has solidified their opposition.
The faction is said to be headed

If You're a BOnehead
Jam Down Your Hat;
Price of Ivory Scars

If your are a bonehead you are
worth 25 per cent more today than
you were one week ago. To wit:
The price of ivory has gone up.
Charles Devling and his associates
who are travelling through the United
States in the Interests OF the ivory
dealers of New York and London,
gave indirect notice to all of the 10 d.
cal stores that deal in ivory goods
that an immediate advance in the
price of ivory had already been sched-
uled and that further advance
might be expected.
OF course, they blame II on the
war. The struggle in African sec
tons, where ivory has been a stable
product has materially interferei
with the trade. The elephant can
now carry his trunk and tusks with
certain degree of safety, for the
ivory hunter is too busy trying to
shoot people to think of his tooth
brush.
Shipments of ivory from the usual
marts in Africa and elsewhere have
been greatly curtailed. Northern
ivory supplies have fallen off to
large extent on account of the short
age of hunters and there are scarce
ly any ivory imports from Norwegian
sources that have heretofore oper
ated in arctic waters and made game
and money of the walrus.
The advance will affect all classes
