MAKE BUILDINGS. SAFER
For many years the National Board of Fire Underwriters
has waged, a relentless campaign for building codes requiring
construction which prevents the rapid spread of fire. But the
public generally is apathetic except after a fire tragedy.
Two disastrous hotel fires may now bring further action
in the interest of fire prevention. Defects in construction and
poorly guarded common hazards are principal factors contri-
buting to the rapid spread of fire and loss of life in hotel fires.
In a booklet entitled’“Fire Prevention and Protection as
Applied to Hotels,” which applys with equal force to apart-
ments and rooming houses, the National Board says: “The
most serious defect of older hotels is unprotected floor open-
ings—stair, elevator and dumb waiter shafts. In many instances
fire stops are lacking at the base and top of interior partitions
and the points where flues and chimneys pass through floors.
These openings act as flues for heated gasses to rise and spread
throughout the building. *
“The story of practically every large hotel fire is primar-
ily one weak, combustible construction with these unprotected
vertical openings serving as the principal cause of the rapid
spread of heated gasses, smoke and flame to all parts of the
building.
“The layman will undoubtedly view with surprise the
statement that very few people are actually burned to death
in fires. In most cases death has been caused by the inhalation
of heated toxic gasses;. This danger exists even in fire proof
buildings if these vertical paths for flame and smoke exist.”
To. promote fire safety, the National Board of Fire Under-
writers, 85 John Street, New York 7, New York, offers without
charge to interested parties its booklet “Fire Prevention and
Protection as Applied to Hotels,”

COMMENTS ON
GOVERNOR’S
RACE IN TEXAS
By H. B. Fox
It’s hard to tell if it .means
anything but the candidates for
governor are kicking up so much
dust, scrapping at each other and
turning so many sommersaults
trying to prove each is the qne to
save the state from Rainey that
the situaion gets a little baffling
if you don’t get in the habit of
returning to first principles oc-
casionally.
The angles though from which
the major candidates for second
place pick to unload on Rainey
continue to be the most amusing
reading in the July heat. Jester
is now assaulting Rainey (with-
out mentioning his name, of
course, under the rule requiring
a gentleman to turn the light
off before sandbagging a victim)
for “undermining the confidence”
of the people in their daily pa-
pers, whereas actually circula-
tions of daily papers are at all-
time peaks and enthusiaasm for
Dick Tracy and Little Orphan
Annie was never higher and con-
fidence is about the same as it
was when Roosevelt kept win-
ning with a big majority of the
big dailies slugging away at him
and crying havoc if he got elected.
Sellers, realizing the Beldon
poll has put him way down the
list, has come up fighting, center-
ing an unusually well-thought-out
assault against Jester for holding
on to his Railroad Commission
job while running for governor,
in his enthusiasm forgetting he
himself is still .the attorney gen-
eral and presumably getting paid
while running for another job.
Smith, feeling like a man who
has lost his last friend, is still
going around trying to get peo-
ple to read the book, “U.S.A.,”
getting so little response he’s now
offering money to get it read.
The' book has fourteen hundred
pages in it and is as closely re-
lated to the issues in the cam-
paign as a copy of the Republi-
can platform for 1914.
Sadler is producing some first-
rate wise cracks and is conceded
to have the best musicians in the
race, and the people are listen-
ing to them. You have to sit
through the commercial to get
the music over the radio, don’t
you?
0,n the whole, though, some
pretty serious and hair-raising
charges are being made against
Rainey, and they will increase in
intensity in the next two weeks,
and if you don’t go back to fun-
damentals it’s hard to keep your
footing.
For example, who was it in the
first place who didn’t want
Rainey as president of the Uni-
versity of Texas? Was it just an
average “board of trustees” made
up of average Texans? Have you
read the brief biographies of the
board of regents that fired
Rainey? Take Orville C. Bulling-
ton. He’s a leader in the Repub-
lican Party and is immensely

wealthy, being tied up with in-
terests in railways, banks, flour
mills, etc. Naturally a liberal
Democrat who reminds you of
Roosevelt wouldn’t suit him. Or
take D. Frank Strickland. He’s
a lawyer for numerous corpora-
tions, active as a Texas Regular,
lobbyist for the biggest chain of
theatres in Texas. Naturally, a re-
presentative- of the movies would
be outraged over a book with
off-color passages in it. What’s
them book writers trying to do,
horn in on the movies’ racket?
Therefore, Strickland yelled loud-
est about the “immoral” book in
the University library, a book
incidentally Dr. Rainey had re-
moved from the required reading
list 24- hours after it was brought
to his attention. Strickland’s
movies haven’t been able to move
with any comparable speed at all
toward objectionable motion pic-
tures. Or take the other regents:
Dan J. Harrison, Texas Regular
and oil and cattle baron; W.
Scott Schreiner, Texas Regular,
owner of immense wealth; H. H.
Weinert, Texas Regular, banker,
oil operator, corporation execu-
tive; H. J. Butcher Stark, multi-
millionaire, tied up with innum-
erable oil and finance enter-
prises. Those six voted to fire
Rainey. They succeeded. They’re
all tied up with corporate inter-
ests.
If they are representative Tex-
ans, you and I are further in the
hole than we realized.
