of construction. That is. use wood
where wood IL best.
Methods Better.
At present, however. even with
the ratio OF fires in frame build.
ings so much less than in other
types, there are cases where frame
construction Is used for purposes
for which 1t is totally uhsuited;
where, for instance, 1t accommp-
dates occupancies that are serious
fire hazards. But even under such
conditions 1t has been more gen.
orally satisfactory than other types
Of buildings.
The methods of constructing sup
posedly fireproof buildings have
been constantly improved. 1t IL
true that the hazard of occupancies
has become greater at the same
line Though not at the same rate
as improvements In methods have
taken place.. In the face of all
this the per capita fire loss has
not been reduced. In fact, 1t has
steadily increased.
AS far as reduction of losses is
concerned the facts herein set forth
dearly indicate that it is useless
o replace wood where 1t is now
used with other materials. Atten.
ton should rather be given to
ways Of providing for the very
hazardous occupancies and the care

FRAME H 0 j s {
FIRE HAZARD
STUDIED
Mood Construction Not Urged
as superiro Over Other
Types

There Is much discussions as to
/ whether or not frame construc-
ton Is fire menace. AS there are
many frame buildings and many
more built, 1t is interesting TO ex-
anime the facts,
Reports for fires during 1920 in
eighty-three cities OF the United
States have, just been summarized
by the National Lumber Manufac.
turers Association.
The first discovery was that Shere
Were only two-thirds as many fires
per 100 frame buildings as there
were Of other types, although frame
buildings outnumbered all other
types more than three to one.
It has been stated over and over
again that frame buildings with
stingle roofs were the principal
cause of communicated fires, and
that communicated fires represented
the major per cent of annual fires
and fire losses In this country
Yet in eighty-three cities in 1920
0S,T per cent OF all fires were con.
fined to the buildings or place in
which they originated.
1.3 Per Cent Only.
Communicated or exposure fires
were reported as including some
fires that did not have their origin
in building fires. The commune
Gated fires represented 1.S per cent
of the total and only one.fifth of /
per cent of the total extended be.
yond the buildings Immediately ad-
Joining places of origin. The loss
from communicated fires was 7.34
per cent Of the total loss.
No figures are available for the
number Of fires communicated to or
from frame buildings, but it is
well known that the majority of
exposure fires occur in business
and mercantile districts where
frame construction does not pre-
dominate. And then, even il all
exposure fires were from frame
building to frame building, they
would represent only 2.8 per cent
Of the frame building fires.
In the light of these figures the
position of opponents of wood con.
Struction is unsound.
In presenting these figures the
technical and research department
OF the National Lumber Manufac.
turers' Association wishes to en-
phasiZe the fact that the informa.
ton is not presented to create
an impression that frame construc-
ton is superior for all purposes. Il
doies show, however, that for uses to
which frame construction is now
commonly put 1t is the best form

to. the service Of the large press
associations.
Thousands of miles Of leased wire
are centrollVd today by the. depart
ment in gathering the reports that
are broadcast daily to the farmers.
Every large market center has a
staff of experts watching the pro.
eeedings, checking the prices and
the supply, and compiling these re.
suits into a report, which u put
onto the wire and in this means
communicated to the farmers via
radio within the hour.
In addition to reports on the
domestic markets. the departmental
wire service gathers reports from
the world markets. through agents
at Rome, where the United States
il represented in the international
Institute of agriculture. These re-
ports come over by cable and wire
less from, Rome and are put into
the air here for the formers, IN the
same way, though a litf'a less reg
ularly. as the local reports.
VALUABLE INFORM ALTON.
WITH the aid of these reports, the
FARMERS can ,lSAi WllClS tIhCy TSAV~AN
ship their goods, when they should
sell them and even what they
should plant. The news comes to
them in an official way from the
department, via the air, and comes
several days sooner, in some cases.
than their Japers could bring 1t to
them.
Last year 1t was estimated that.
out of the total Of 5000, 900 farmers
in this country, $4,000, or per
cent, were equipped with radio.
This number has at least doubled
during the present year, 1t ID esti-
mated, and steady increase is ex-
pected,
But one of the greatest activities
of the radio section of the Agri-
cultural Department is getting the
message to the farmers Of the value
of radio. Department officials feel
that whatever may happen to radio
in the city. its future on the farm
is a certainty. and the farmers are
the ones who have a practical APP
|plication for the invention which so
far has been only toy for others.

ASSESSMENT PUBLICITY
URGED IN PHILApELP hillA

The Philadelphia Real Estate
Board recommends methods Of
making assessments. in the form
of manual prepared by their
board OF division Of taxes.
They advocate also, as one Of the
best methods Of attaining equaIiza-
ton in assessments, widespread pub.
licity OF the assessments themselves
ana the methods by which they
were made.
The committee recommends also
separate assessments for land and
buildings. 4

lessness Of occupants. Attention to
these matters will go far to reduce
the great annual fire loss.
Looking back over the years. the
d sgree of carelessness Of the occu.
pants Of buildings seems to have
increased in proportion to the added
degree Of fire protection. A resi-.
dence built OF materials that will
not readily burn increases the oc.
cipant's negligence and general
c1lrelessness.

FARMERS FIN D
RADIO NEWS
VALUABLE
Department Of Agriculture Is
Endeavoring to Increase
Wireless on Farms

The Department Of Agriculture is
Selling radio to the farmers. Not
| radio sets, but the idea of radio as
means Of keeping in close touch
4 with the department and with mar.
ket centers throughout the country.
And II is having such success that
2 department in the bureau is kept
busy answering questions from the
farmers of the country as 10 the
best kind aof sets and how to build
/ them.
1t also conducts Geographic news
service. connecting the various mar
kets OF the country with the .+oroad-
casting stations, by which means the
farmer keeps in constant touch with
the situation.
Radio was first introduced into
the department through the efforts
Of little boy, the son of man
employed in the department, The
boy, Harold Wheeler, son OF w. A.
Wheeler; No. $500 Thirty-third street
northwest, was an enthusiastic anna
1teur and got such good results from
his little set in the days of code that
his father became interested and
started exper -menting with radio as
a means Of communicating with the
farmers.
IDEA GROWS. ~
After this small beginning the idea
grew by leaps and bounds under the
direction of Mr.. Wheeler, and later
under j. G. Gilbert, who new has the
work in charge, until the radiophone
came into use, with the opening Of
station KDKA, Pittsburgh.
This old-tfme station, was the
first to ever broadcast market re-
ports by radiophone, and now more
then eighty other stations have fol-
lowed the lead of the pioneer sta
ton in offering this service to the
farmers.
When the average city listener
in" hears the market reports start
coming in through the headphones
or loud speaker, he twists the dial
to another station with some, re-
mark about 'tthe awful programs
the stations are putting on nova
days" He. does not stop to think
Of what these programs mean to
the farmers. ~s..
Mr.. Gilbert has thousands of let
ters in his office at the Department
OF Agriculture from farmers all
over the country commencing the
UepArtIuenC ana the OroaQcaSCtng
stations for this indispensable
service" as many of them call it.
Wide Organizations.
Few radio users, when listening
to these market reports coming
over the air, have the. slightest
idea of the machinery and organi-
Gation' necessary to compile these
reports daily. The Agricultural De.
partment maintains a system of
leased wires and technical field
agents covering the markets of the
country and the world. COMPARABLE

2 UNPAID CHORUS GIRLS
SHARE PAIR OF STOCKINGS

NEW YORK. Aug. 20. - Pretty
little Eve Durant, aspiring but UNI
paid chorus girl, made pathetic mo-
tons to win the heart OF Broadway
and Magistrate Levine in the West
Side court, and ali for a pair of
stockings. Eve was one of seven
teen girls who grew tired Of dane
ing entirely for arts sake and
brought charges against Arthur
Bnclxner, promoter Of the still I'M
seen '.Buckher's Revue, for money
they said was due.
Eve was one of four complain
ants to appear against Buckner.
The magistrate was surprised that
more were not present, and Eve
undertook to explain why one Of
the others was not there.
She's home because she's bare
les ged and can't come out" she
said. 1--WE both live at the Mark
well Hotel, Mildred Mcdonald and
I, and we have only one pair of
stocking between us. Mildred
thought with my name Eve-that
should be the one TO go without,
but we matched and won. / wore
the stockings. Mildred will be here
next time"
