built in Florida the same az they
! would in the North. It Is true that
they put little tile on the roof and
put stucco instead of clapboards. on
the walls; but no consideration was
taken Of possible hurricanes. cyclones
and other tropical features. Great
losses were in tent colonies. In fact.
the east coast had one of the most
elaborate tent colonies in the world,
costing over 100000. the tents having
baths. electric lights and other modern
conveniences. Naturally these can

People living in the tropics have
learned after hundreds Of years that
one story structures with thick and
solid walls are needed to withstand
the earthquakes and hurricanes that
are common in tropical climates.
Moreover, in the more susceptible
regions, these houses are put in blocks
so as to have them doubly secure. The
best thing that Florida could do for
future generations would be to pass
law against the building of any more
frame houses. If the Legislature OF
Florida would pass this simple law
1t would hurt no one and the disaster
would be worth far more to the State
than it has cost. Personally, I believe
that thick. hollow-tile walls. with
earthquake construction, is the best
prevention against hurricane, fire or
any other cause of destruction.

BABSOE PARK. Mass. October q
The latest statistics available Indicate
that about 400 were drowned or other
wise killed and 200 seriously hurt in
the hurricane and food. Of course
this Is q terrible event from a humani-
"a rtan view, but economically 1t Is not
serious. A sudden hot or cold spell in
the weather Will cause many more
deaths than this hurricane caused,
while a moderate influenza epidemic
VIII send 10 times as many people to
The hospitals. 1t was the suddenness
Of the disaster and not its seriousness
which gave us all such a shock.
The property damage Is probably
about 500, 900 900. This is also unfor-
tunate, but the loss consists largely in
structures, which should never have
heen built in Florida and in promotions
which should never have been started.
Although this shrlnkage In values
seems very large at first sight. yet 1t
often takes place In the stock market
in the course of a few weeks or even
~ few days. The real blow Is to the
immediate prestige Of Miami. which
city must now postpone-at least for
a few years--its ambitions to Orertake
Los Angeles. Lot me say. however,
that The ultimate future of Miami is
very bright.
Florida Business Outlook.
lf history repeats itself. the hurri-
cane will tend T. increase wholesale
and retail trade in Florida during the
coming Winter. 1t will give the State
a chance to use up the large surplus
of llilding materials and other things
which were rushed into Florida during
the boom Of l,est year. The hurricane
will make l926-27 q. year OF good EN-
ploynent in Florida while otherwise
there would have been much unem-
ployment and general distress. There
is no doubt but that general business
will be better in Florida. this Winter
on account of the hurricane.
Furthermore. | see no reason why
the tourist business III Miami and the
east coast should he injured. and 1t
may even be increased on account of
the hurricane. Railroads. which had
been planning on Il quiet season, are
now planning on Il very busy season,
both aS 10 freight and TO passengers.
Not only should the tourist business
he very heavy to Florida on account
nf the cold Winter fUrecaSted, but
most lot owners viii want to visit the
State Ia see how their special property
has been affected by the hurricane.
From private reports 7 should Judge
that the chief cause Of the loss In both
lives and property was due TO the
flimsy character OF house construc-
ton. Most Of the buildings in Florida

low the previous weeks, accompanied
by n pronounced Increase in ship

Owing to the great disparity in the

1t is impracticable to make comparf-
