To check heavy annual losses
in life and property in the build
ing industry, a code of safety
regulations has been drawn up by
Samuel r. Bishop of New York,
chairman of the committee on
health and safety of the American
Institute of Architects. The rules
are intended for incorporation in
architects specifications for new
construction, and are based on
the theory that safety provision
should begin in the office of the
architect.
The old system, under which
the contractor assumed all safety
responsibility, is both waSteful
and obsolete, according to Bishop,
who declares that insiStence by
the architect on a set of simple
precautions for the protection OF
workers and passers-by would go
far toward eliminating existing
hazards.
The code reads, in part:
First, with regard to tearing
down old buildings, wOrkmen
shall not be permitted to start
demolition until all gas, cleo
tricity, water, and other supply
lines from the outside, except
such as are required for use in
connection with the work, are
effectively shut off,"
GUARD RAILS NEEDED
"GIaZed Sashes and doors shall
be removed at the start of the
operation, and floor openings
shall be barricaded with guard
rails and toe boards. Stairs and
railingS shall be kept in place as
long as possible, and steps and
landings kept free from debris.
walls shall be removed part
by part, and ScaffOldS and stag
ingS erected for wOrkmen, if
walls are too thin or too weak
to work upon. No wall or other
heavy piece of construction
shall be allowed to fall in mass,
except under competent super
vision.
"In excavations, the sides Of
each one shall be sheet piled,
braced, or shOred where neceS-
sary to prevent soil from coming
in on those employed in the ex:
cavatiOn. Every trench five feet
or more in depth shall have

has been developed after a two
year study by a subcommittee Of
the American Institute of Real Es-
tate Appraisers of the National AS
sociation Of Real Estate Boards.
A preliminary check list for use
in the appraisal of commercial
properties has likewise been deveL
oped, covering 176 items the ap-
praiSer needs to check in his pre-.
liminary survey.
Both check sheets, as prepared
by the subcommittee, under the
general direction of the Institutes
committee on research and educa-
ton, were accepted by the govern
ing council of the institute at its
recent meeting in St. Louis, subject
to further study and revision.

Sidewalk sheds shall be pro-
vided wherever required to serve
as protection covering over the

ner to avoid toppIing over or
otherwise being displaced.
Those are a few of the funda-
mental anu essential require
mentS which can be embodied in
every architects specification to
be observed where applicable or
necessary. While they may be
supplemental, or even at va
rance in some cases with local
laws and regulations, yet they
will show that the architect is in
SiStent on safety measures, and
will impose upon the contractor
the obligation to provide nee.
eSSary Sa 'eguardS. Such pre-
cautiOnary measures as these
will tend to cut down cOmpenSa-
ton costs, and benefit not only
the contractor and his employees
but the owner as we'll"
Mr.. Bishop, in a recent state
ment issued by the Institute O
Architects, estimated that acci
. ents in the building industr,
caused an annual loss of thousand
of lives and $50 million dollars il
property.

Experienced Plumber
Declared Essential

The services of an experienced
plumber are essential in construct
ing or undermining a home. The
finest plumbing fixtures cannot
give adequate service unless they
are correctly installed and unless
the supply, waste, and vent piping
in the walls and under the floor is
correctly designed and properly in
stalled.
Heavy expense is avoided and
the health of the family is pro-
tected if plumbing fixtures, valves,
pipe and fittings of good quality
are installed under the supervision
of a plumbing expert.

Making Steps Safer

Householders wary Of their Gel

having the back part of each
step a trifle lower than the front
edge. This helps provide q stead

1t is advisable that the storage
tank be diversified and we'll insu-

 Split Between Flag Viers

Hiding Hagiund, agile center gardener for the Moose team, stands forth as the colossal clouter of the Gastineau Channel League for l937; replacing Douglas Mark Jensen, last years batting champ, who this season sank far toward the tail or the list
 Haglund rapped the apple throughout the regular season for an average of 444, collecting 28 hits in 63 times at bat, and crossing the plate with l9 tallies to lead in the run scoring department also. Next in line behind Haglund is. the per- nnial Island power the plate, iirst-sacker and manager Walt Big Andy" Andrews. Andrews poked out 29 safe blows in 69 official times in the batters' box, to lead all in the matter of number of hits.
 Speed of Foot 'r
 A good share of Haglund's suc- cessful connections resulted from his speed of foot, which enabled him to beat out a goodly share of bunts and infield wallops: while if took lusty smashes to enable the veteran Islander to shake his aged limbs enough to arrive safely at the. first station
 Th,e reason why the Moose and the Islanders are the two teams fighting it out for the league title is apparent from glance at the averages. which show hefty sprin- kling of Paps and Red-clads in the top notches.

 The actual leading pill powderer of the cellarite Elks is Big Mac" MacSpadden, veteran hurler and utility man, who wound up his hit--. ting season just under the select 300 circle.

The impressive thing about thu way Sonny Fraser disposed of tn, field in defending the Atlantic Coas amateur golf title on the Decor City, (N.J) gold club course wa his change of style. Golfers whe have been watching the 2l-year-old Seaview. N. J. youngster over g stretch of years were amazed al the improvement in his swing! He was getting greater distance off the tee without any trace of his olc slugging habits He seldom wan dered off the fairways. He played all his shots with nncanny accu- racy. :.
 All the credit for this new Sonny Fraser must go to his oldest broth CT, Leo, pro at Seayiew.
 Two years ago Leo returned tc the east after having spent 10 years in the midwest. He was pretty dis gusted with what he saw, for he had always carried in mind picture of a youngster with a well-night perfect swing. Sonny had one when Leo headed west.
 Tn the years that followed, Son. ny developed countless flaws. He was punching at the ball, dropping his right shoulder and committing all sorts of gSlfing sins. Leo lost no time in trying to iron out the faults, but it was no easy task The habits were deeply imbedded
 Shortly before the section quali- flying rounds for the national anna teur championships were held, Leo announced that Sonny was ready to go out and tangle with the best of them. Sonny bore this out when he easily qualified in the Philadel- phia district.
 The Fraser boys are sons of the late James Fraser, famous as a pro at Garden City and later pro at Seaview-until he met his untimely death in 1923 in an automobile ac- cident.
 Sonny started playing golf at the tender age of four. At l3 he shot a 69 over .Seaview and was hailed as boy wonder"

REGARDS FARR AS TOUCH ONE;
 GOOD BATTLER
By HYPE IGoE

LONG BRANCH, N. J., Aug. 2l.- The boys and girls who have seer Tommy Farr do his English-rine stuff, tell us that he is no "softie' not "push-over" or even an ha- bitual "convas kisser."
 All of us m m b r the strange antics of Bombadier Wells and Joe Beckett. the fellow who reminded one of Jack Dempsey-he was SC different. Oh, yes, Joe looked like : Dempsey around the eyebrows, but that is where he ceased to resem- ble our lawn.
 Jerry Casselli, Ancil Hoffman's right-hand man. who went to Eng land to help out in the promotion of the bout between Max Baer and Farr. has just returned from Lon don. He comes up right pert with a warning to Mike Jacobs. the Louis managers, John Peterborough and Julian Black, and Brown Joe him self, not to take the Welsh coal miner for a setup.
 Taught Lesson :. The chances are that Louis is quite through with that mistake.
 He'd hardly hold any man cheap from now on. He was taught a les- son in his argument with Max Schmeling. He was certain that he would only have to make his fists say Boo" to Max and the fight would be over. He didn't even take the precaution to tuck in his chin. He was in a mood of utter contempt for the Germans reputed ability to pick chin with right hand. His attitude was:
 | ''Doan dis German man know dat An can hit2"'
 | And so It went through Joe's mind until he was belted right on the chin Schmeling swears that he won the fight in the first round when he nailed Joe with right to the jaw. went back and saw the movies of that fight and Schmeling was right. f v Caselli insists that Farr is a smart puncher." "can take it till the cows come home" lis strong, ? and has the heart of a lion" : On top of caselli's okay is another coming from Johnny Howard, an fold time manager, who saw the Baer and Farr fight. He says:
 Far will give Louis the fight of his life and if he doesn't get too gay, trying to swap punches with Joe, who can hit you know, he will have a good chance. I doubt that he can Ioutpunch Louis. Few men can. only pause to remark that Farr is bet ter fighter than anyone in this country realizes. Upsets have hap pened before in the ring, and there is no better proof of that than Braddock's ten to one victory over Baer, or Schmeling's eight to one Knockout of Louis"
