YEARS FIRE LOSS
TOTALS S919,982
Exceeds Previous Twelve
Months by $490, ,104 When
Federal Buildings Burn.

The District of Columbia suffered
fire loss of s919.9S2 during the last
fiscal year. according to the annual
report of Fire Chief George Watson.
submitted to the Commissioners yes
terday afternoon. The loss was more
than covered by insurance, amounting
to s14.953.s5s.
The fire loss for the past twelve
months was $49O,1O4 in excess of the
total for the preceding fiscal year.
Government Building. Destroyed.
Chief Watson tells the Commission
ers this increase was due principally
to fires in government buildings. as
follows: One on December IL. 1920,
at Walter Reed Hospital, with a loss
of s30.13O; one on January 10. 1921.
in the building occupied by the United
States Department of Commerce, with
an estimated loss of $4,000; one on
October 16. 1920, at the United States
naval air station at Boiling Field, with
an estimated loss of $450,000, and one
on April Is, 1921. for a fire in an air.
plane attached to Boiling Field, with
an estimated loss of $4,000. Deduct
ing the loss cauSed-by fires in build
ings under the jurisdiction of the
CHiteu otdteS government, $oOU, ,lSO,
there remains a fire loss of $419,S52
for the remaining LII fires. which
loss is decrease of s1G,026 in the
loss for the preceding year.
Inspection Every Six Days.
The chief told the city heads that
progress was made during the year
in the fre-preVention campaign in
augurated several years ago. The
main feature of this campaign is the
inspection Of every apartment house,
hospital, school or similar institution
by fire inspector at least once every
six days.
The report shows that the gallant
hre horse, admired by all as he gall
lops by. is rapidly passing out of
service. There are now only seventy
four animals left in harness-forty
less than a year ago.
The fire chief expresses the belief
that living costs and the findings of
the reclassification commission JUS
tify further increase in salaries. 1t
is understood. however. that the
Commissioners have decided not to
seek another increase this year for
the police or firemen. whose pay was
raised a year ago.

600, 100000 TAX,
SENATOR SMOOT PREDICTS
Tells Rotarians Enormous Burden
to Last Half Century Required
Within Seven Years.

Forecasting that in seven years the
United States would face a $5.000,000,
900 tax, which he said would continue
at this rate for half century. and
advocating the abolition of the nasty
little, nagging taxes" Senator Reed
Smooth of Utah. addressed a meeting
of the Rotary Club at the New Will
lard Hotel yesterday afternoon.
Senator Smoot advised the Rotarians
that any tax legislation passed by
Congress at present would necessarily
be of temporary nature. and that
unless conditions in the world changed
materially civilization will be a fail
ure.
Il believe that I can claim to be a
careful student of the tariff and tax
in the past that l could write salts
factory tariff bill or satisfactory
tax bill. Today if 1 were asked to
write the tariff bill. couldn't do it,"
He then pointed out the effect of
changing conditions on any tariff bill.
conditions in the world must change
or civilization be a failure, and
don't believe civilization will fail"
Senator Smoot declared that, due to
the chaotic condition now existing
lii ouSHoul tHe WOTlQr tne european
countries would have difficulty in
meeting their obligations. He told
how he predicted in 1918 that the ex-
penses of the government would new
er be less than 100000, 900, and
stressed how the Treasury Depart-
ment denied this statement at the
time.
Il tell you now" said the senator,
that within seven years from now
the taxes of this country will be five
billions of dollars
Outlining his proposed plan of tax
alton, Senator Smoot dwelt at length
on the advisability of the sales tax of
8 per cent on manufactures. He said
that revenues could be obtained from
six sources. eliminating all the mas
ty little, nagging taxes of every name
and description"
Senator Smoot denounced the excess
profits tax, stating that when it went
above 81 per cent it drove rich men
into buying tax-exempt securities and
predicted that unless a law to stop
tne issuance of tax-exempt securities
Is passed the American people will
wake up some day with a tax burden
from which they can never hope to
get free"
Several times during the senator's
address he was interrupted by cheers
from his auditors. and in concluding
was rendered a rising vote of thanks.
CHARLES w. Semmes, recently re-
turned from vacation. was back in
the chair, and Roland Robbins, chair
man OF the. program committee, in

THE directoire, late eighteenth

fiuences in the styles, are all disput-
ing the claims Of the ~straight-line or

costumes appreciate the adaptability
of taifetas and organizes, to bouffant
skirts, and the charm of a flavor Of

NOW IS POPULAR
Chief Charm Is the Simplicity of
the Exterior.

Only Within Recent Years That the
Beauty of This Type Of Home Has
Come to Be Recognized by
American Architects.
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
PAPER. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority

1t was not until the last few years,
comparatively, that American archi-
tects recognized the beauty of the
homes that were erected in New Eng
land during the first century after the
landing Of the Pilgrims. Many of
these homes are still in a splendid
state OF preservation and still are oc-
cupied. But until recently their own
ers could not e any beauty in their
plain lines and weather-beaten eXte-
riors.
Now, however, this type of archi-
lecture, which was originated by the
builders of the Seventeenth century. is
most popular. Colonial homes of all
sizes and constructed Of all the differ
ent sorts Of building materials are
erected throughout the country. The
chief charm Of the exterior of a Co
lonial house is its simplicity and bal
ance. Each window has a counterpart
on the opposite side of the main en-
trance door, which is placed exactly
in the center of the house; there is

room has a g0Od-siZed closet. Stairs
the high pitch of the roof is rather
large and provides ample storage
for the family.
The cellar of this house Is exca-
waited the same size as the walls. and
provides a large amount of storage
room, besides n place for the heating

The cost Of this house Is not great.
Its design being such that it can be
erected with the utmost nom in
time II provides accommodations for
a family of more than the average
size. The arrangement Is such that
the work Of caring for il can he done
with a minimum of effort. while all
the rooms are airy and comfortable.
Home builders who are planning up
on erecting that long-contempiated
house this year cannot do better than
select such a design as this. The CO.
lonial is a style Of architecture that
marks its owner as an American who
is proud of the building genius of the
early settlers; at the same time. the
colonial. to many minds. IL the most
beautiful Of all styles of homes.
During the last few months the
cost OF building. like almost every
thing else. has come down remarkably.
While prices still are higher than in
1914. when II cost less to build than
at any time during the last half CEN
fury, they are much lower than during
any Of the war years. or the last two
years. Homes are needed and needed
badly, and everyone connected with
the building business predicts that
this will be a banner year.
This being true. 1t is good Judgment
to start building operations as early
as possible.
