BURNING FLUES CAUSE FIRES
Chief Earl kurtz Tells of Preventiv,
Measures Against Danger.

A combination OF cold, crisp air,
choked chimneys and dry roofs is ac-
countab.e for the fires Columbia has
had within the last few days, accord
ing to Chief Earl Kurtz of the fire
department. OF the nine alarms turn
ed in this month, five of them have
resulted from this cause-these being
the ones that have caused the largest
damage.
Last year sixteen fires were of this
origin, and the property damage was
$685..
Several preventives for these fires
have been suggested by the Chief.
The first is the use of asbestos or as
phalatum roofing. This, he says. is
better than a slate or tile roof being
cheaper and lighter. The cheaper
preventive, since the blazes are caused
by sparks form flues, is the burning
out of the f1ues when the roofs are
damp. This can be done by opening
the draughts and stuffing lighted pa
per into the stove or furnace.
Other remedies are having the
chimney swept by professional
chimney-sweep, or by occasionally
putting coarse salt in the stove on a
bed of live Goals. A quart to a half
a gallon of salt should be used. ac-
cording to the size and height of the |
chimney.

ON ART IN BUILDING
DIR. John Pickard Calls MissOurfs
CapitOl One of Best Examples.

Capitol One of Best Examples.
DIR. John Pickard of the University
faculty gave an illustrated lecture on
Mural Art in Public Buildings" be-
fore the d. A. r. which met at the
home of Mrs. E. A. Logan yesterday
afternoon.
Doctor Pickard showed the interior
and exterior of many public build
ings, starting with the national capi-
tol at Washington. Capitols of many
of the states were shown. In his lee
ture Doctor Pickard said that the new
Missouri capitol, when finished, would
compare favorably with that of any
other state and that it compared most
favorably with the Minnesota capitol
which is considered by many to be one
of the best examples of public build
ing in America. The Missouri capi-
tol will be larger however than that
of Minnesota.
Doctor Pickard is one of the six
members of the committee selected
by the Missouri Capitol Commission
to direct the work of the decoration
of the capitol at Jefferson City.
E. w. Stephens. chairman of the
capitol commission, told the society |
the progress that had been made on
the building. The society voted to
the redecorating of the Missouri room
of the Memorial Continental Hall in
Washington, ID. c., which is main
tanned by the ID. A. r.

Kansas Quintet Shows
Strength THIS Year.

Kansas showed its basketball
strength last Wednesday night when
it defeated the Washburn quintet by
the one-sided score of SIS to 9. This
shows the Jayhawkers have a real
team this year and will cause more
trouble in the championship race than
last years team did. Gibbens, their
diminutive forward, who also was a
star performer at shortstop on the
baseball team, is going great this
year and scored six baskets in
Wednesday nights game R. Uhr-
laub, left forward, also Gagged six field
goals and appears to work we'll in the
offense. The whole team took part in
the scoring, everyone but the last SUBJ
stitutes getting at least one basket.
