er, who always states: "HOw
quick and how fast it burned, no
one thought it would spread so
fast"
Within a short time in this city
there have been three fires in the
usual type of three-story brick
buildings, with joisted floors and
wood lath and plaster partitions,
where total of twenty-four unfor-
tunate people have been burned to
death. In each instance the fire
started at the foot of the wooden
stairway at the first floor and there
was no combustible material, other
than the wooden material of which
the steps were made.
The exact cause of these fires was
never determined. The important
fact is, that a fire starting at the
foot of wooden stairway will as
sumo great headway and burn so
fiercely that within the short space
of perhaps minute, the stairway
is roaring mass of flames, smoke
and hot gases turning the interior
of the building into a veritable
roaring furnace and causing the
unfortunate inmates to either be
killed by the fire, smoke or hot
gases, or by jumping from the
windows.
The fire is so fast and fierce, one
would be led to believe the stairway
had been filled with gasoline soaked
hay, straw, shavings and excelsior.
In AtticS and Easements
How many easements, attics and
out of the way storerooms are
packed full of worthless junk, wait,

Danger in the Home
Records show the greatest num-
Der of fires occur in the home.
These fires occur in the basement
or in the attic Here are usually
stored the old unused articles, rub
bish and junk that it no longer
needed. If this storage of material
is not directly responsible for the
fire from spontaneous origin, still
the old worthless junk is there to
add fodder for the fire to consume.
Once started the fire spreads up
ward with lightning-like rapidity
and causes ruin to the house and
its contents, and perhaps death and
injury to the unfortunate inmates.

two states represent but one-sixtieth
of the nations population.
Equally remarkable is the fact that
out of 4S states, twelve do not know
where they stand in this serious situa-
ton.
The menace lies not alone in the
huge volume of community waste now
polluting streams. In manufacturing
centers industrial wastes are being
poured into waterways at rate which
has caused a few farsighted states to
call halt. This type of waste is even
more difficult to combat than commu-

Michigan has taken the situation in
hand and has ordered all offending
communities and industries to submit
a report on their plans for treatment
plants to the state board of health
within six months of notification.
Texas is following much the same
plan, but co-operates in solving individ
ual problems, placing state engineers
at the disposal of communities. Hi
nois has passed conservancy district
bill which allows districts to form
themselves int0 a conservancy district
and compel treatment within that
area. Other states are following slowly.

The survey of stream pollution graph

Nineteen states, shown by solid

10 per cent Of their sewage in treat

work to the fire department.
There are times, especially in the
spring and fall, during dry spells,
when more than one hundred fires

these fires could be prevented by
burning this material in wire en-

Chicago is no exception, and in

OPPORTUNITY
FOR AMBITIOUS MEN

San Antonio, as well as all of
Southwest Texas, is in the midst OF
an era of progress and development
which has never before been equaled,
and the business outlook is good.
San Antonio is the largest city in
Texas, and all of the industries will
be found here which go with city
of this size and population. Men with
ambition can succeed here, but COM
mon sense should dictate to every
family moving to San Antonio that
they be sufficiently supplied with
money to take care of themselves over
q reasonable period of time in getting
located, the same as the would ex-
pect to do il they were moving to an
other city in their own state where
