Fire Takes 500,000
Lives In 50 Years
BOSTON (UP) — Fire claimed
some 500,000 lives in the United
States and Canada during the
first half of this century.
Improved construction tech-
niques and new fire - fighting
equipment apparently have fail-
ed to cut fatalities. The annual
toll in the United States alone
has averaged 10,000 deaths for
a considerable period, according
to the national Fire Protection
Association of Boston.
Strangely enough, some of the
biggest fires resulted in little or
no loss of life. Blazes confined to
one building often have taken
more lives than sweeping fires
that leveled entire cities.
MORE OIL DEMAND
DALLAS (UP) — Markets re-
quirements for crude oil and re-
lated products will be at least
11 per cent higher this year than
in 1950. the Petroleum Engineer,
authoritative oil publication, es-
timates.
The magazine said demand for
the first six months of 1951 av-
eraged 7,464,000 barrels daily, 13
per cent above the demand
through June in 1950.

Houston Building
Drops Off Sharply
HOUSTON (UP)—Officials dis-
closed today that home building
has dropped $32,000,000 in met-
ropolitan Houston this year and
$40,000,000 in the 37 counties, in-
cluding Harris, compromising
the Houston F. H. A. district.
The figures which are for the
first seven months of this year
compared to the same period last
year were given to the August
meeting of the Houston Associa-
tion of Home Builders by B. D.
Tucker, F. H. A. director of the
Houston area.
Home builders gasped when
they learned the magnitude of
the slump in F. H. A. commit-
ments, which commonly consid-
ered a reliable index to the true
situation.
For the first seven months of
1950, the money value of commit-
ments in the district was $72,-
225,000, for the same period this
year, $31,953,000.
