WORLD is WATCHING
PROHIBITION LAW
speeial 10 rhe Evenlng JOurnal.

GEORGETOWN, April 27.-John
F. KRAMER. OF Ohio, first administra-
tor of national prohibition, delivered
an address Tuesday night in Wesley
NJ. e. Church.
Former Judge Henry c. Conrad
was chairman of the meeting and in
his opening remarks referred to the
importance of the eighteenth amend
ment TO the people of the country.
One reason he pointed out why he
is so anxious that the prohibition
laws shall stand is that the eyes Of
the world are on the United States
wondering what solution this coun-
try is to make of the liquor ques-
ton. He pointed to the amendment
being the foundation OF the great re-
form movement and he wants to see
the structure completed so that the
world may not point the finger of
scorn at us. 'If we don't complete
this prohibition structure that
amendment will look ugly in the
Constitution" he said.

Fire Department
AT ROTARY
CLUB LUNCHEON

Addressing members of the Ro-
tary Club at their weekly luncheon
in the Hotel DUPONT at noon today,
T. Alfred Fleming, of New York,
representing the National Fire I'm
derwriters' Association congratulated
Wilmington on the organization of
paid fire department. Mr.. Flem-
ing said he had visited the High
School building this morning and
witnessed the pupils in assembly and
he added, Never have I visited a
high school in the United States in
which I found the equal in the at
mosphere of discipline without re-
straint. It Is a most marvellous
thing and I want you to know IT,"
Mr.. Fleming congratulated Super
intendent David A. Ward, of the
Public Schools, who was present at
the meeting. and he characterized
the Hotel DUPONT as the first in SER
vice in this country.
In order that the Directors OF Pub
lie Safety and the heads of the Po-
lice and Fire Bureau and the fire
committee OF Council could hear Mr..
Fleming, Directors S. X. Smith,
General I. P. Wickersham AND VIII
liam B. Megear. together with Fire
Chief William J. Lutz, Fire Marshal
E. Morton Ainscow, Superintendent
of Police Black and President of
Council Ward and Councilman Abra-
hams were seated a THE speakers
table.
Mr.. Fleming said he saw the Col
lingswood School building fire which
snuffed out the lives of 173 children
and three teachers and he spoke of
blunders in school construction and
school administration that caused
that tragedy. He said that infiam- ,
mable material that was used on the
floors Of that structure TO make the
work of the janitors easy had caused
the fire TO spread, thereby prevent
ing fire drills from being held. This
material, the speaker added, was now
being used on 60 per cent. OF the
school building floors in this country. |
Mr.. Fleming said that 90 per cent.
of the loss of life through fire In
this country was due to carelessness
or ignorance and he was pleased to
see big business men cooperating |
in dealing with the red peril because
apart from the toll of life which |
was $4,000 last year, it meant a per
capita loss of $685. for every man,
woman and child in this country
Following the address a number
Of the members went to the High
School building to witness the fire
drill being conducted there.
