Mrs. Arthur C. Watkins, executive secretary of the national organization, stressed the educational feature of the convention's program, declaring it to be one of the most constructive factors of modern civilization. Since the publicity end of the Par- ent-Teacher associations is considered highly important, a "Publicity In- stitute" was conducted by the Publicity Bureau of the National Congress. Classes were held, informing the mem- bers about news value, and how to write publicity articles. Assignments were given members attending the classes, and these were criticized. Joy Elmer Morgan, editor of the Journal of the National Education association, was among those who lectured. ONE THINGS SURE /A NICE COLD BATH -- ALWAYS COOLS OFF SUMM ERS =~ .

"We are con-! United States, Fire Chief G. M. Houren of Winnetka, points out that one of the most effective ways to re- duce the fire danger is to give such buildings as we erect the highest de- gree of incombustibility. "It would be impracticable, of course, to build an all-fireproof stru ture," Chief Houren continues. "In a residence of this nature the beds would have to be steel or concrete slabs and furniture would have to be of a sim- ilar material. There could be no drap- eries, rugs, linen and clothing. But it never is impracticable to construct a building as fire-safe as is compatible with comfort." "Take the average frame house as an example. When the wood frame is covered with a sheathing of wood, and this in turn is covered with wood sid- ing; and when the lath under the plaster and the shingles on the roof are of wood, you have a highly com- bustible, conflagration-breeding type of construction--one that would put surrounding structures in jeopardy if a fire should break out, particularly if there were a high wind blowing. For a high wind would carry burning em- bers to adjoining roofs and scatter sparks far and wide." "But it is probably a long way off before wood frame houses will be al- together abandoned particularly since the development of modern building materials has resulted in a protected type of wood construction that retains all the good features of the all-wood house." "In building such a fire-protected wood house the wood frame is erected in the regular manner. But instead of a sheathing of wood being applied over the frame an incombustible type of sheathing is now used. This pro- tects the frame from the outside. To protect it from the inside a metal or rock lath is used in place - of wood lath. With a roof-covering of asbes- tos or other fire-resistive material, a house so built possesses as high a degree of protection from fire as is possible in a frame structure."
