through some devious routes and
Waburton went into Tracy's office and
Tracy told him that he was going to
get him for operating still.
"I want you to bring this still
into my Office and do it now or tell
me where it is and l will get it,
said States Attorney Tracy. The
reply of .Waburton was That still

"Up in a little room over Judge
Tracy's office are more than a dozen
stills which have been seized during

 F. E. Davidson, a leading al chitect, went so far as to assert that the 'firep-oof building does not exist, nor can it be constructed" Richard E.

 By changing the title from noun to an adjective you get an appropriate description of Mae Murray in her role of the incorrigible flapper whose creed Is follow your impulses" which was inherited in the blood of her Spanish fathers family She Is called upon to enact an unusually gay young debutante utterly devoid of repose. Those who are even slight ly familiar with Mis5 Murrays work will realize that this sort of role ex- actly fits the star. And mere statement that she performs a dance at one period In a costume designed in her Justly celebrated style for this sort of thing conveys a book full To say that she is picturesque and appealing Is ultra a-conservatism.
 Miss Murray is surrounded by a capable east that includes some well- known names and fine talent. Helen Ware gives an uncommonly good per- formance as a passe dancer and Rob- ert ".

hand, that had the Burlin.. on build ing been lower. or had the street be- tween it and the bu'ldi,gs in which the fire started been as wide as the Burlington building was high, the flames and heat from the original fire would have passed over it.
 Like Woodsman's Fire
 If soodsman wishes to build a fire on windy day" MT. Schmidt said, he seeks a place against a rock or a large tree trunk on it's windward side, for he knows that he can kindle a quicker and hotter fire if he can back 1t up with a wall. That combination of back wall fire and wind is exactly what existed in Chicago when the Burlington office building was damaged. A strong wind blew the fire of the Austing and other buildings against the Bur lington building, which formed the back wall of huge fireplace. The wind furnished plenty of oxygen. also pdAver to direct the flames against the Burlington building, like gigantic blow-pipe or gasoline torch.
 There was not power enough in the wind to blow the flames horizon tally and these would pro bably not have set fire to the Burlington build ing if it had been only as high as the width of the street, or slightly high CT.
 Does this not indicate that our high buildings are too high for the streets, or that the street were de- signed for lower buildings? This ap- pears to be one % the soundest reas- ons for linn ting the construction of excessively high buildings"
 Enclose Stai-ways
 Building ordinan ,es generally should be maneatory in requiring that all elevators and stairways should be enclosed" said .Ir. David- son. Had the stairs and elevators of the Burling' n building not been enclosed the building undoubtedly would have been wrecked"
 MT. Davidson said that certain de- vices which he held could not resist tn" radiant heat eng dered in a general confl, grafton were only worth while in the case of local fires" He concluded that architects and engineers must devote more thought to fire prevention than to fireproofing.
 A case for fireproofing WIS nre- sented by Mir. Schmidt in the state ment that the Burlington buildins stopped further spread the fire ard thus proved that buildings of
