ELOPMENT OF THE WEST IS COMING
RAPIDLY

The great expanse Of broad prairie the
South Plains. and in that part that comprises the
most fertile and the best portion OF the State for
general diversified farming. is the verge
of being cut up into small tracts. and placed on
the market for sale to people who want homes. In
fact. several large tracts now being divided up
and some have already been sold in this way. and
to prove that the people Of other sections Of the
State are wanting this land one only has to note
the record Of sales made where the offerings have
been placed at the disposal OF the buyers This
land goes like hot cakes when il is placed on the
market and We heard Of one party who reported
that he would place several leagues OF land on the
market who had more than two hundred inquiries
regarding the land before Il had been surveyed.
he afterwards decided he would not place il on
the market just At this time. but will. within short
while This shows however, that there l. much in
teress being taken in this section Of the country by
homeseekers and with the railroads oriss-
the South Plains and the good market places with

Buildings Should
Have a Better
Fire Escape System

Texas has law requiring s0-call-
n iaudard fire escapes on an pub
hc buildings. and on an buiidings
above two stories high which are used
for school purposes or IN which per
sons are permitted 90 sleep Usually
these fire escapes are 81 IRON strue-
turc placed on the outside Of the
building
Now cbmes the National Fire Pro
lection Association and says that the
ordinary outside fire escpe IA not
adequate. 4 subcommittee Of
which Miss Lloyd Marshall Of New
York City is chairman says Of them.
1T Is true that they have saved
many lives. chiefly we believe. thru
good fortune. bat again and again
such escapes have been blocked by
smoke and flames bursting from
windows on lower floors"
Needles alarm Is unreasonable
but the people should be alarmed n
facts are AS claimed by the National
Fire Protection Association. which
says on the authority Of a report
made By the national committee for
chamber 81 commerce cooperation
with the public schools and the Am
crican City Bureau that more than
81 percent u school buildings are
fire traps
Precautionary measures must be
provided before the fire starts. There
may never be occasion TO use them.
in which even the people are 10 be
congratulated, there may be urgent
call for them. and the public suffers
II they are lacking. The outside fire
escape creates. Il Is claimed. n false
sense of security. They are criticiz-
ed as involving ''severe life 'haz-
ards" where children or sick per
sons must rely on them for safety.
Enclosed interior stairways or
sm0ke-proof towers, either exterior
or interior. are much better, and the
additional cost should not be con.
sidered where human life is concern
ed, according to the president Of the
National Fire Protection Association.
He suggests that in some buildings
the horizontal exits through a divi-
sion wall would prove the simplest
and most efficient method Of safe
egress, and that all rooms in such
buildings where fires are liable TO
start should be protected by sprink-
lers and provided with hand extin-
guishess or fire pals.
Every individual should see that
his home Is properly safegnafded
against fire. Every community
should insist upon all possible pre-
cautionary measures for its schools
hospitals. factories, workshops, ho-
tells, office and other public build
ings in which people gather. IL Ia

ionally, heed proper warnings and
