Defective Chimneys and Flues
Account for Heavy Fire Loss

This IS the first or a series Of
articles prepared BY T. p Sarran,
Brownsville fire chief. In connec-
ton with Fire Prevention Week,
Oct. 5 to I'D
The great toll chargeable 10 de
fective chimneys and flues' is the
result OF poor construction. Besides
being built solidly from base to
cap on a stable foundation laid in
the ground. a chimney should be
built with a fire-clay flue lining
and cleaned Of SCOT accumulation
at least once a year. Bricks used
for chimneys should always be laid
flat and not ION edge. the latter
method resulting in a weak struc-
ture having a tendency to develop
cracks. through which sparks es-
cape. II is dangerous TO support
chimneys on the timber construc-
ton Of a building, or to hang them
on brackets. and both practices
should be discouraged.
Smokepipe Connections
Frequently the smokepipe causes
fires by igniting nearby materials
of wood construction. either be-
cause OF improper installations or
through overheating. 1t is impor-
tant, therefore. that stove and fur
mace pipes should not be close
enough 10 woodwork or 70 wooden
ceilings Or partitions. TO heat them
unouly. If any nearby surface is
found too hot for comfort when the
hand Is placed upon II. Il may be
concluded there is danger of ig-
milton.
No smokepipe should pass through
any floor or through a nOn-fire-
proof roof. Where II passes through
a wood lath and plaster or other
combustible partition or wall. a
section OF the partition or wall

wall should be removed and the
smokepipe so placed that no part
Of II shall be nearer than six inches
to any combustible part OF the
partition. When not in use a
smokepipe opening in a chimney
flue should be sealed with a safe
metal cap and never with anything
less inflammable.
Loses Heavy
The total fire loss in Texas
caused by defective chimneys and
fluesr since 1925 to 1929. inclusive,
approximates s2.222,5l9 with an ap-
proximate number of 2.l95 fires or
iginating from this cause during
this period Of time. This means an
average annual fire loss during this
period caused by defective CHM
neys and flues' Of approximately
s444.4 03 and a total Of approxim-
ately $50 fires from this particular
cause each year.
AA4A2 G0A-G aNl04A@AC 40 4AA -
fire loss Of approximately S23,-
600. 900 in the United States.
1t is the general impression
that every time the fire bell rings
one or more insurance companies
suffer loss. This is partially true,
but the loss sustained is only for
a temporary period. Insurance COM
panies are but collectors and dis
tributors Of the fire loss. They pay
losses as they occur. thus enabling
the establishment Of business,
with the cost of doing business
all being collected in succeeding
years in the form OF insurance pre-
miums. The rates paid are large or
small in proportion 10 the fire loss
this being proof that fire pre-
vention'' is good business for the
public.

DARROW CONSIDERS
 EMERSON APPEAL
Famous Lawyer to Confer On
 Case Of Two SQuaWs

Buffalo, N. Y, April 2s (UP)- Clarence Darrow, who for several years has been calling himself ;l former lawyer" was drawn back into active practice today by the appeal of a. New York Indian chief to save two of his tribes women from the penalty inflicted by the state for murder.
 Although determined he would not be lured from retirement at his present age of B and warned by the Indians that they were too poor to pay a fee, the urge to Ego into the matter" proved irresistible to the man who has spent 4S years at the bar defending erring humanity.
 Due to Confer Today
 He was due here today to confer with attorneys for Lila Jimerson and Nancy Bowen, alleged murder CTS Of Mrs. Clothilde Marchand. He has promised to announce whether he will join the defense staff after going over the available facts with them. Conferences are to be held at his hotel room.
 Darrow's Buffalo friends are con- fident he will be persuaded by the Indians appeal after learning de- tails of the crime with which the two women have been charged and a part in which both have admitted.
 In some respects the case they will tell him about is similar to that of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, young murderers of Bobby Frank. whom Darrow saved from the gallows. As in that trial, which made Darrow world famous, there is no apparent legal defense. The defender must go outside the writ ten law into the realm of sociology and psychology to make his case.
 Already Has Pleaded
 Lila Jimerson, a young woman, already has pleaded guilty to second degree murder, but now wants to withdraw her plea and Judge r. Bret Thorn has indicated he will grant her a new trial. The state contends she plotted Mrs. Mar chands death to rid herself of a rival for the attentions of Henri Marchand. an artist, for whom Lila had posed. Intimate relations be- tween them were admitted by Mar ohand when he testified at her trial.
 A mistral was declared when the first jury was about to receive the case because tubercular hemor- images made it impossible for the defendant to go on. Yesterday she was discharged from the City hos pital sufficiently recovered, physi- clans said, to stand the ordeal of n new trial.

GRAF TO STUDY WEATHER
Dr. Eckener Says Extensive Obscr- vations on Elements Will Be Made On Trip.

Berlin, April 20 UP) P)-Meteoro- logical studies will be made on tho flight of the dirigible Graf Zeppelin to South America and the United States next month, Dr. Hugo Eek ener said today in discussing the forthcoming voyage. -~" .-
 The flight will be no mere den- onstration, he said, but will be for the purpose of studying conditions under which regular air service across the Atlantic ocean will func- tion. The trade winds probably will be dangerous and the dirigible will be compelled to fly in high attitudes over the South Atlantic, he said
 The route will be from, Seville to Pernambuco, in Brazil, thence over Cuba, and Florida to Lakehurst, with possibly an intermediary land ing at Havana, weather permitting. The total distance from Friedrich shafen to Brazil and back he esti- mated at 17,767 miles, compared to about 1S6SO on the flight around the world last year. @

 Inspectors also audit gasoline sales in the state to insure colleo- ton of the proper tax, the commits sioner says. This tax is paid to the state by distributors, and the num- Der of gallons received by each dis tributor is checked against the num- Der put out for sale, allowance be- ins made for exemptions under laN and for shrlnkage.
