troIIed Conf|agration.

Picture in your minds eye pine for

the existence of several building filed
to the roof with dynamite and other
explosives. Then place in the picture
1000 sturdy American soldiers fighting
desperately TO stop the flames before
they reach that pile of ammunition.
That was the thrilling narrative re
lated by Engineer Commissioner Bell
AT the fire prevention mass meeting at
central High School last night to en-
phasize upon his audience the danger
and havoc that may follow in the path
of a tink spark.
Cites Instance During War.
It happened at one of the larae sup
ply depotS of the American Army in
France during the World War Maj.
Bell said. Several buildings containing

Gated near a small wooded section. and
one day the brush and trees caught
fire. After working feverishly for
many hours, the jor said. the SOL
diers succeeded in clearing d space
large enough to check the spreading
flames before they reached the explo-
sives.
Had the soldiers failed in their
task every creature within radius
Of several miles probably would have
been killed. said Commissioner Bell

when a bolt of lightning from
the heavens strikes a tree and starts
a forest fire. that is an act of Provi-
dence we cannot prevent. But l find
no evidence in the annual report of
Chief Watson that Providence had
anything to do with the fires that
occurred in Washington last year.
Mr.. Cooper then related the sta
ristics of the number of fires that
occurred last year because of care
less smoking, careless use of matches,
careless operation of furnaces and
similar preVentable causes.
Mr.. Cooper said he saw the Wash
ington Fire Department go into action
. at the fire on F street Monday morn
I ing, and he complimented the men
on the speed with which they
"smothered the blaze"
'1 am glad that Fire Pro ent ion
week comes once a year. because it
gives us an opportunity to tell our
iiremen how much we appreciate
their valiant public service" said Mr.
Cooper.
Fire Chief Urges Co-OperatiUn.
In brief talk Fire Chief George
watson thanked the public for the
cooperation it gave the fire depart
ment last year in reducing Washing
toms fire loss by approximately mil
lion dollars, and he asked for con-
tinued cooperation to bring the fig
ure still lower during the year to
come.
Charles w. Darr, chairman of the
fire prevention committee, presided
and introduced the speakers. A mo-
ton picture film showing the careless
shabits that start fires was shown as
an added attraction for the meeting.

RADIO CONFERENCE
REPORTS RUSHED
Committee Begins Task of
Co-0rdinating Matters to
Come Up for Action.

Consolidation of the reports OF the
seven subcommittee of the third
national radio conference was start
ed today by the co-ordinating com
mittee which will draft recommends
tions for presentation to the general
conference. The Co-ordinating com
mittee is composed of u members.
three being chosen from each of the
seven subcommittee.
Several of the subcommittee chair
men have expressed the belief that
their work could not be completed
until tomorrow morning, which will
necesSitate the holding of the con
ference until tomorrow afternoon. II
was generally agreed, however, that
all of the committees would be able
to offer TO the conference plans for
the solution of virtually all the radio
problems which have been referred
to them for Consideration. Several CT
the committees, particularly that
dealing with the problem of radio
interference, have held night sessions
in order to speed up their reports to
the conference.
Would Ban Class c.
The report of the subcommittee on
the ALLEGATION of wave lengths recon-
mends the elimination of class c sta
tlUHS, lHOSe ol iJU-"dIJ power, re-
leasing their wave lengths to relieve
congestion in one group, those of
1,000-watt power.
A revision of present wave-1ength
assignments among broadcasting sta
tionS to create new channels of
transmission and thereby remove as
much as possible of the congestion
that has existed also was recon-
mended.
The revision of wave-length as
signments and redesignaton of the
classes of broadcasting stations, ac-
cording to reports of the committee
radical changes in the organization
of broadcasting, but would bring all
broadcasting stations within the
wave lengths of from eos to 545 me-
ters. Such an arrangement, it was
explained. would release added wave
lengths for marine use, a field in
which the demand for them is very
great. Likewise, it would take all
marine broadcasting out of the broad
casting station range, reducing one
of the greatest problems of interfer-
ence.
In assigning wave lengths to
broadcasting stations, the wave
lengths of the Atlantic coast stations
would be duplicated by the Pacific
coast stations because of the lack of
method, the committee stated, would
add 10 channels to the class 1 group
otherwise not enjoyed.
