Fireproof Building Says Fireproof Not Safe in Fire
New York Chief Kenton told the Wagner commission that a fireproof building can burn hotter and be more deadly than a wooden structure when contents burn furiously. He explains fire spreads like an oven, recommends fireproof partitions, smoke towers, and outside ice escapes to confine and slow the blaze. The column ends with a surprising note about alligators raised for hides in South Africa.

National Health Board Urged to Share Charities Burden
Alexander Johnson, secretary of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, calls for a national health board to share the burden of caring for consumptives and other ill persons. He cites Texas cities, San Antonio in particular, where many sick travelers arrive penniless and rely on local charities. Johnson stresses the need for federal coordination, notes Texas advantages, and outlines a plan to educate business leaders to include a social tax for charity. He spoke at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon and at the Travis club, and will lecture on Charity this evening. The Associated Charities hosts him during his Texas visit.
