City Club Committee
Urges Steps to Aid Safe
ty of Children.
SPRINKLERS ASKED
IN EVERY BUILDING
Fire Officials to Obtain
Data Gathered Through
Investigation.

Regular fire drills and more pre-
ventive measures against fire dan
gers in District public school build
inGs were urged in a report submit
ted before a meeting of the public
safety group of the City Club held
at the clubhouse, Farragut Square,
last night. The report, made by
the Ere protection committee Of the
group, was signed by George B.
Farquhar, chairman.
1t is. hope, members claim, that
through the recompendations of
this committee cogniZance of the
need for better Ere precautions in
the District schools will be taken
by the DisNict Commissioners, the
Board OF Education and Congress.
The members of the committee will
submit their recommendations TO
the Fire Department and officials of
the Board of Education and will re-
port more fully at a later meeting
Of the public safety group, at which
time a vote will be taken on the
recommendations.
Pointing out that none of the
school buildings are equipped with
the sprinkler system for fire pro-
lection, the committee urged that
this system be installed in all base
ments, wOrkrooms and laboratories,
The committee also recommended
that all school stairways be en-
closed; that all schools be equipped
with proper fire escapes; that win
doWs opening on IRE escapes be run
to the hoOr to allow easy access,
and that all windows opening on
dre escapes be glazed with wire
gIass to prevent flames from break
ting the glass, heating the fire escape
and thus cutting OF escape. The
committee pointed out that ire
drills should be held regularly and
should be conducted seriously and
scientifically.
Dealing with fire protection in
general, the committee recommend
ed that all buildings in the city be
regularly inspected by uniformed
members Of the fire department
Purpose of Inspections
One hour a day of such inspec-
ton work would accomplish won
derful results" the report read.
The inspection would famiIiarize
the hremen with the construction OF
buildings in their respective terri
tories, and would aCQuaint them
prOach in event of fire
The committee commended Fire
Chief Watson for sending two of
his men to New York to take a
three months course in the Fire
partmenL
Headlight Laws
Delay in the enactment of anti
glare headlight legislation was
criticised by the group, and a
committee headed by c. H. War
rington, which last night drafted
what were regarded as ideal head
light regulations for the District,
was instructed to urge the imme-
diate prOmulgatiOn Of some form
Of legislation. 1t was pointed out
that only e few days ago a fatal
accident was caused by headlight
glare.
Failure of aUtomobilists to il
luminate adequately the license
numbers on the rear of cars was
criticised severely. 1t was esti-
mated that not half of the tail
lights are sufficiently bright to
make the license numbers visible.

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS

Kansas State Headquarters of the 4
American Legion has been urged to
send out the following information
concerning vocational training: Coon
gress has recently ruled that it is nee
essary that vocational training be
either definitely accepted or rejected
within a period of twelve months
from the date that a disabled man is
notified that he is eligible for voca-
tional training, unless his physical
condition makes its possible to enter
training within the twelve months
specified Many men have expressed
desire to defer their training for an
indefinite period, and the Federal
Board has been very 1enient in grant
ing such requests. However, the
present law will make it impossible
for the Board to extend this time limit
beyond he period of twelve months"
Kansas Department Headquarters
Of the American Legion has just been
| advised that arrangements have been
completed with the War Department
to have all lists of drafts deserters
| sent to the headquarters of each state
| department. This is being done in
| order that the lists may then be for
warded to the post at the county seat
| corresponding to the draft board
from the records of which the list
| have been compiled. Each post will
| then be requested to carefully check
| the list before they are made public
| With the close of the mo Bachelor
| Posts in Kansas" campaign, many
| Auxiliary units have equal1ed the
membership of their Legion posts, and
some have exceeded these memberships
All percentage increases are based on
the membership of the Legion post

CARRY A SPARE TIRE

Why spoil the pleasure of a motor
trip by setting off without a spare
tire? With view to economy many
drivers are carrying no spares to-day,
but it is form of economy that
does not pay. A spare tire of good
quality rs one of the absolute essen
tials for cart is the tire you de-
pend on to bring you home.
The spare ought to be covered to
protect it from the effects of sunlight
and heat, says the United States Tire
Company. Sunlight has bad effect
on rubber even in the coolest weather,
for it produces cracking" or
checking" the surface which rap
idly extends to the interior, causing
deterioration. Heat has an even
more destructive effect. Spares some
times are carried uncovered near the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1921-05-19

CANNOT BE SUSTAINED.

Senator Watson of Georgia is another gentleman
who apparently has opened his mouth and put his foot
into it. His charges that American soldiers were free
ly shot and hanged in France during the war without
the formality of court martial are nowhere borne out
by records of the war department, or the testimony
of officers and men who have thus far spoken. The
American Legion has been appealed to for any testi-
mony that can come from its ranks, confirming or re-
futing the statements of Senator Watson.
Senator Watson, himself, his presented no evidence
worthy of the name and is inclined to bubble over
the manner and form in which evidence or testimony
shall reach the senate.
1t is altogether likely that he Georgia senator has
been imposed upon by greatly exaggerated and wholly
false information which led him to make his sensa.
tional charges in the senate.
Surely no such facts as have been alleged could
have been kept secret from the men overseas who
we're present at the time and are now private citizens
In the first place the Georgia senator is making a
charge that is wholly un-American in character and
repugnant to American military methods, and one that
VIC do not believe can be sustained for a moment.

AN IMPENDING CALAMITY.

DR.. Austin oMalley. noted snthro-pologist OF Phila-
delphia says that within two generations there viii be
no blondes in the United States below the forty-ffth
parallel. Even the Scandinavian population of Min
nesota will not be able to cling to their fair skin and
light hair. The American race is gradually growing
dark and In time will be almost Mediterranean, and
The future type of American beauty will be the
brunette.
Prepare, o We devotees of the light, ye worshippers
will cover the earth and be upon the face of
p and woe will be ~everywher south Of forty
he blonde will be no more. This angel of
-yes and sun-kissed hair will survive only be-
-sn forty-fve and the Arctic circle-in heaven and
n the dreams Of poets and the pictures Of painters.
The type that has driven all worth while men wild
with desire for possession, from the time of the his
orical Helen Of Troy to the day Of the Pollyanna of
lotion, is to vanish and leave only d~esolation and hope
fulness by her going.
She has wrecked the hopes and lives of countless
thousands. She has tossed her graceful head and war
md destruction have ensued. She has smiled and
nen have laid down honor and fortune. One glance
from the azure depths of her lovely eyes and the rich
est jewels of all India repose at her feet.
She has made great havoc upon old earth but-we
eve her, we worship her. She cannot do anything
more to US than she has done to other and better men
make fools of us. And who wouldn't delight TO
De foolish about q blonde?
Even when she is banished north Of forty-fve she
will not languish in Loneliness and waste her lowell.
iess upon that wilderness-we will all be there pros
rating ourselves and offering adulation at the same
old shrine.
