TEN more weeks of standstill bus
mess, then a general revival
about July /. That's the opinion of
Judge Robert S. Lovett, after a long
trip through the middlewest. He's
chairman of the board of the Union
Pacific Railroad.
Lovett found stocks of necessary
merchandise very low all through the
west. But many things have to be
bought, good times or bad. Mer-
chandise stocks can get just so low,
then buying is compulsory. Hence
Lovett's prediction that "the end is
in sight"
More optimistic is the Harvard
Committee on Economic Research,
which believes that "the period of
general decline of business and com,
modify prices may be near its end"
Money Rates Loosen.
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston
reduces its rediscount rate from 7
to 6 percent. Period of easier mo.
ney has started This is further in
Dictated by revival of speculation.
New oil stocks are being floated
more easily.
Ordinarily it is several months
after easier money rates and revival
of speculation, before general bust
ness picks up. But Federal Reserve
System may have shortened the gap
so that speculation and business will
revive almost simultaneously.
Credit is being kept extremely
tight by cautious bankers in the
southwest. CattIemen are hardest
hit.

SCHOOL FIRE PROTECTION. !


Toosmuch cannot be said about the
extreme Importance OF taking every
possible precaution against fire +, in
school buildings. If it is at all pos
sible, freproof construction should be
used throughout. It's unique value
is universally conceded, and it is es-
pecially important in large buildings
where many pupils are assembled.
If such construction can not be used
throughout, it certainly should be em-
ployed in the more essential parts OF
the building, particularly the base
ment, halls, and stairways. At the
very least, the entire side walls and
ceiling of the boiler room should be
plastered on metallic lath. The boiler
room may we'll be outside the main
building, either in a separate structure
or in an extension of the basement
Such an arrangement decreases the fire
risk, rninimizes room disable for school
purposes, and removes the dirt and
dust from the school building proper.
Heaters should never be located under
halls or stairs.
The difference in cost between fire
proof, tsemi-freproof, and non-freproof
construction is not so great as it for
merly was: Frame construction with
inclosing walls of combustible material
can not be recommended for approval
except in rural districts and in small
village districts of com paratively low
valuation.
1t is of extreme Importance that all
wastes, such as sweepings and paper, if
kept in the building even for a few
hours, be- placed in metal cans in a
fireproof. room. To prevent distribu-
ton Of burning particles by the wind
a Wire cage may be used for the burn

ling of paper and other wastes. Atten-
ton should be given to, proper protec-
ton Of hot air and smoke fues; chim-
neys should have tile Innings for
smoke hues, and no wooden fues of
any description should be used in the
heating and ventilating systems.
