ington could not carry the heavy load of snow
which fell on it Saturday.
Others, generating the management, point
to other buildings in Washington, which carried
their load of snow without collapsing, and con-
clude that if the Knickerbocker roof had been
built properly it would not have collapsed. Steel
and concrete, they say, are not fragile materials
and if faulty construction is responsible, the
guilty ones should be punished.
Some point to the design, believing that the
engineers may not have been highly competent.
They argue that only licensed engineers and
architects should have the right to design and
supervise the construction of buildings. Among
the states that have laws providing for this pur-
pose are Indiana and 16 other states.
The building code of Washington is under
scrutiny by others, who wonder if its provisions
guarantee a full measure of safety to persons
who visit theatres, places of public amusement,
and edifices designed for public gatherings.
The real lesson of the tragedy is that eternal
vigilance is necessary in places where many per-
sons congregate. Restrictive regulations, appar-
emily limiting the capacity of public gathering
places or providing for stringent safety meas
ures, after all, afford the only true preventive
against long death and injury lists.

Memories of Old Days
In This Paper Ten Years
Ago Today

This was the final day of the high
school and Garfield school terms. The
pupils of the high school were going
to utilize Monday and Tuesday to take
final examinations for the work of the
past term. About 10 students left the
high school at the end Of the term and
were to graduate at the end of the
second term of the school year.
A campaign against smoking within
a square of the high school building
by high school students, was being
staged and many bold young men OF
the smart smokers set were called be
fore the principal to explain their Of
Tense. Several of the boys were SUI
spended from school for the acts. The
school authorities were working to do
away with all sorts of smoking.

The Knickerbocker Disaster Investigation

The determination of Washington officials,
including even President Harding, to see that a
thorough investigation is made of the Knicker-
booker theatre disaster meets with general ap-
probation even if it conflicts somewhat with the
feeling that thorough inspection of the building
should have been made before it thrown
open to the public.
Critics are at wide variance regarding the fix
ing of the blame. Some say the management of
the theatre is culpable for not having inspected
the roof with its weight of snow to see if the
structure could stand the strain. They believe
that the safety of the public should have been the
paramount consideration of the management,
and that it should have known that roof de-
signed for normal weather conditions in Wash

Whereas John D. Rockefeller's vast
wealth literally rolled in on him, Viii
liam Rockefeller's far from modest for
tune is a product of aggression. For
more than 40 years he was the specu-
lative member of the Standard Oil
group, engineering monumental deals
in which millions were moved as
pawns. Before his retirement he was
credited with having been infinitely
more familiar with Standard Oil and
its qualifications than any of his as
sociates-not excluding his brother.
Temperamental opposites, William
Rockefeller and John D. have one
thing in common besides wealth and
memories; both are Baptists.
