Woman's House Burns,
But Insurance Protects

The home of Mrs. Teet, at the end
of Park Row, near the city limits
in Brooklyn Heights, was totally de-
stroyed by fire about O'Clock Mon
day night, together with contents. The
fire had a good start when the fire
department was called, and was fully
enveloped when it reached it. Be
cause of the elevation, the fact that
only 4-inch water main serves that
section, and that 1900 feet of hose
were required to reach the house,
there was not enough water to com
bat the flames The fire is supposed
to have started from a kerosene lamp
burning in one of the rooms. Insur-
ance of $1,000 on the house and the
same amount on the contents were
carried.

A DAILY COLUMN
GIVEN TO CURRENT
EVENTS AND FRANK
COMMENTS

WHEN IS President Harding going
to take the first steps toward
getting the great powers together to
discuss the question of armament
limitation?
Some of the leading Republican
J new ars are beginning to ask this
N very pointedly. So pointed
~, in fact, as to show considerable
'mrritability and impatiencc.
ga The unofficial explanations from
Mse White House that the president
Anust approach such delicate matter
with the greatest caution and tact,
lest he jeopardize the result, is not
as potent with the Republican edi-
tors as it was when first made.
To these editors and to lot Of.
other people as well, the thought is
beginning to occur that perhaps a
little more ACTION and a little less
tact is called for by the urgency of
the situation.
Ever since the war the great
powers have been engaged in the
maddest armament race in their his
tory. This is especially true of the
United States aud Japan, whose war
preparation budgets are many times
greater than ever before. This in
spite of the fact that their people
are groaning under the weight of
their tax burdens, from which there
Is little possibility of relief except
by cutting armament expense.
Of the resumption of specie pay
ment after the Civil War, Sherman
said, 'The way to resume is to re-
sume."
The other day in Washington,
Budget Director Dawes said to the
members Of the cabinet and bureau
ehlefs,@''The way to economic is to
economize."
1t isn't going to be long before
some powerful Republican editor,
backed by unanimous public scnti- |
ment, IS gong to say to Mr.. Harding
Mr.. President, the way to dsarm is |
to dlsarm. We can't do it alone. !
Forget this tact stuff and get busy. (!
Let's find out right now whether the !
other nations are willing to meet us !
