knowledge of flood control conditions
obtained by a personal inspection two
years ago, will work to the benefit
of their projects. There are one or
two divisions of the Federal service
that are particularly hopeful of in
creased appropriations because the
President has an intimate knowledge
of their needs by reason of. his long
service in the Cabinet of his prede-
cessor
In keeping with President Hoover's
policy of utilizing the services of pri-
vate citizens on government missions,
the Secretary of the Interior has
created a special committee of nine
to assist in the direction of a nation
wide study of high schools, Junior
high schools and junior colleges.
Representative educators have been
appointed and have volunteered TO
give their services free to the govern
ment. In addition to the consulting
committee of nine an advisory COM
mittee of thirty will be named within
short time. Congress felt the need
of reliable data on our educational
systems and appropriated $4,000 for
the current fiscal year. There has
been so much dispute over the subject
of education that it is expected three
years will be required for the special
investigation.
The first touch of Christmas has
come with the publication of sched-
ules by the Post Office Department
showing the latest day for mailing
gifts to foreign countries. About the
only group thinking of the holiday
season so early in the fall was the
merchants stocking up their shelves.
The government now directs attention
to this happy custom of gift bearing
by directing attention of the public to
the time required for delivery at dis
tant points. OF particular interest to
those shipping Christmas presents
abroad is the customs formalities UNI
der which baggage is inspected and
often delayed. The Post Office De-
partment anticipates the heaviest
holiday business in its long career.
Underneath the surface there is
bitter controversy raging between
professional weather forecasters. One
of these prophets sells his services
while the other represents the govern
ment forecasting agency. With the

.F|RETRAP KILLS SEVEN
Clues Point to Incindiarism;
Terror Crazed Guests Fight
For Exit.

Seattle, Wash.-Seven are dead and
Is injured as result of a fire which
broke out in an old firetrap hotel in
the Skid road" district of this city,
trapping guests at the head of a STAIR
way, the only exit. Some of the in
jured are expected to die.
The hotel was an old three-story
structure tenanted by loggers and Ia
borers. The fire, which is now be-
lieved to have been of incendiary orr
gin, broke out on the second floor and
those on that floor were unable to
reach the stairway which was roaring
like draft furnace. There they piled
up, screaming and fighting, some dy-
ing in the tangled mass of legs, arms
and bodies. Others had jumped, some
dying in the attempt to escape.
When the firemen arrived the
wooden hotel was a mass of flames,
but which was soon brought under
control. That there was no further
loss of life was miracle in which the
firemen contributed much as three of
them were overcome and one injured
in fall.
1t is believed that a number of JAP
anese were also burned to death in
the living quarters of the Japanese
proprietor.

HINTS ON HEALTH
prepared and Furnished by the
Public Health Education
Committee of Minnesota
State Medical ASSN.

Many people are driving about the
country today in closed cars, dressed
in furs or other heavy wraps. They
think they are getting fresh air.
Some of them are getting neuralgia
and carbon monoXide poisoning in
stead.
An automobile that is completely
enclosed needs to be ventilated on the
same principle as room. There
should be some slight openings for
fresh air and then an outlet through
the roof for the Overheated air and
for the purpose of providing a place
of dismissal for any gas fumes which
accumulate. Some of the up-to-date
and best types of cars provide such
ceiling outlets.
In warm weather there usually is
no danger from carbon monoXide for
the windows of the car are kept open.
But in cold or stormy weather, when
the car is shut up completely, there
is considerable danger, especially if
a heater is provided for the car.
Heated taXis may not be the luxury
they are supposed to be when one con-
siders the opportunity they afford for
carbon monoXide poisoning and for
Overheated air. Windows should al
ways be partially open in taxi, es-
pecially if one is riding some distance.
Z For the protection of those who are
subject to neuralgia attacks from
drafts in closed motors a careful Studv
of windows openings should be made.
Usually window opened at ones
side is better than one opened in the
front of the car. Those riding in
front seats are not subjected to the
drafts which others sometimes feel.
