Protection Against Fire
 Aim of Water Works Men
tBy Associated Pressl

LOUISVILLE, May 4.-Progress in the battle to avoid fire losses, which has supplanted the campaign waged against typhoid fever by water con. tamination, will be reported here when the American Water Works Association meet.
 Since the first drive against ty. phoid fever was undertaken years ago by the water supply engineers of the country" said Frank c. Jordan of Indianapolis, president, "the death rate in cities has been steadily re. duced. The association has main. tained it's campaign and devotes a large part of it's efforts to educa- ton as to the best chemical treat ment for water in public use.
 Tn conjunction with the Interna- tional Association of Fire Engineers and the National Fire Protection As sociation we have engaged in the problem of fire prevention and will give it perpetual battle to reduce fire losses in proportion to our cred 1table record in the saving of life"
 Public health officers from many states will cooperate with the water works men in conducting the progra. m

TESTS PLANNED SEEK FLOOR TO WITHSTAND
 MOST EXTREME HEAT
(By Associated Press)

tBy ASSociaCeu Fressp CHICAGO, H., May 2.-The secret of non-combustible floor is be- ing sought in original tests at the Underwriters Laboratory here where anything that has to do with fire or accidents or their prevention is test. ed
 Floors built under secret formulas to withstand the most severe heat and strain soon will be subjected to direct and over-heat of up to g. 200 degrees, the approximate maxi mum attainable, under heavy floor loads.
 One floor has been constructed and another is being built. They will be permitted to stand 30 days be- fore the tests, however, to permit them to assume conditions which would obtain in actual construction.
 Manufacturers, architects and in. surance companies are deeply inter ested in the forthcoming tests which, it is hoped, will produce a floor ca pable of confining the fiercest blaze to a single story of building
 Engineers will observe the floors constantly during the tests, and will use instruments of precision for ob- serving the moment and degree of buskling in the floors and the temper. ature under which the floors give first indications of failure.

FINDS HOW INSECTS
CAN SLEEP ALL WINTER
Russian Scientist Discovers Tenn
perature Drops Directly With
Activity.
ence OF the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, August 2S.-The Russian
scientist NJ Bachmetjew has deter
mined that the temperature of insects
increases in direct proportion to their
activity.
Butterflies, he claims. furnished
much valuable enlightenment on the
problem of the Winters sleep of the
insect species. He found that when
butterflies were placed in a. colder
atmospheric medium their tempera-
ture Immediately began to drop and
continued on the downward scale until
certain point was reached, where
upon the temperature would suddenly
shoot up again nearly to normal and
then register slighter drops. But this
experiment was only possible once.
When tried a second time, the butter
fly invariably died.
Bachmetjew came to the conclusion
that the secretions of butterflies are
cooled by a lower atmospheric tenn
perature and even frozen when the
lowest point is reached. The rise Of
temperature after this freezing point
he attributes to the liberation Of the
animal heat during the freezing proc
eSS.,
This ability of insects to support
cooling down of their secretions with
out actually freezing, the scientist
thinks is the secret of their being
able to sleep through the Winter.

Pursuit of his own lost memory and
pursuit of the man for whose crime
he himself suffered prison sentence Is
the line along which this story runs
Its setting is a remote fishing hamlet
on Lake Superior. Its atmosphere is
that of hardship-the stormy lake, the
arduous life Of the fisherman, the bit
terneSs of elusion and defeat. The
story opens in dramatic moment
the escape Of a prison "trusty," with
the hubbub OF pursuit that follows It,
Beyond this Is very narrowing
realism of man as a hunted thing,
days and days of physical misery and
mental anguish. And the easement
of comparative safety in the lake
hamlet is never complete. There is
always the fear Of discovery. There is
always the strain toward that lost
moment when the murder was com
mitted--by some one. So the story
goes on. with panic always at the ell
bow of this escaped prisoner. Plain
days of work and a little love story
provide the less strenuous, the more
relaxing moments of this tense tale
Hard to keep a theme like this clear
Of melodrama. And maybe this one
is not altogether clear. But it Is, all
the same, robust and lusty action
which at most points does not go be-
yond the possibilities of the human in
ways that are dark, nor beyond the
turns of fate in the ways Of strange
happenings

REVIEWS OF NEW BOOKS

supported by an outstanding pair Of
young folks whose interests and pre-
occupations are not entirely made up
Of loves secret desires. This single
| fact is refreshment to novel read
ers, who nowadays are tired out with
embarrassed and apologize with
drawals from the presence of over
arden and uncontrolled lovers. Some
thing urgent to do is for lovers, as
for the rest of the world, the best of
barricades against the Establishments
of Satan. Immediately around the
two, providing the medium Of romance
itself, Is big business. the prodigious
and perfectly organized business Of a
huge department store Waiting 8
Emporium. Outside the store is Lon
don. Here. and in all England, too,
is the diminishing and protesting aris-
tocracy, gradually letting down their
admission of industry and it's emolu-
ments. This Is the situation At the
head of Watling's is the modern bust
ness giant. 1t is his daughter, charm
ing and intelligent, trying to be al
son to her disappointed father, who
stands as the lady of this romance.
Its hero is a son of the landed leisure
class, come over into trade, first to
make a man of himself and then to
ton here. The quality of the young
folks themselves. The triumph Of in
dustry. The giving way of WORKOUT
class prejudiceS before a triumphant
reality. And to each of these inter
woven elements this author gives its
proportionate part in the story, deal
ing with each also in a clear appre-
citation of its value as both drama ana
picture in the setting out Of character
is
knowing. So is the lady mother of
the youth. The whole is an intelli-
gent and sincere piece of artistry cal
culated to give pleasure to readers
who are looking for a. really good
novel.
CHOICE. By Charles Guernon. author
of Eyes of Youth" Philadelphia:
J. B. Lippincott Co.
We talk of destiny, of fate. Yet
that which we look upon as master
full destiny is of no other stun than
the decisions that we made last week,
yesterday this morning, upon mat
tiers of no great moment at the time.
Such is the line of projection that this
romance takes. The unconsidered act
Of boy and a girl. Then the sequence
of time and far places and unforeseen
events. Then suffering. and tragedy,
and near defeat. Finally. the saving
spark of the Will to overcome. Win
in this big outline is a dramatic ro-
nance by way of which stricken
girl refuses to be overcome and there
by herself overcomeS. The story is
rich in place, moving from one inter
esting point to another-France. Italy,
England. 1t is substantial in its char
acters, who are lifelike men and
women, interesting ones as well. Pos
sibly. at the end there is too strong
suggestion of special providence, but
if this be true, 1t is overbalanced by
the really fine note of courage-plain-
everyday, disable courage-upon which
the story ends. And it's theme, that
Of the stupendous significance OF
choice, decision. is one to whose prime
Importance the author gives compe-
tent and discerning consideration.

Announcement has been made that
the spark sending set in the naval radio
station at Fort Brown is to be replaced
in the near future by tube set, which

and have been forwarded to the navy
department. and the new outfit till be
ordered by this department and shipped
as soon as possible. Installation of a
new set which vii cost approximately
$4,000, has been authorized by the navy
department.
Although no definite plans have been
made, some radio broadcasting will pro-
