PREVENTION OF FIRE BUSINESS OF EVERYBODY I * Cities Not Fighting Blaze Invite Disaster, Says Speaker. Bn Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 6. “Fire prevention Is everybody’s business, because everybody is liable to either personal or property damage by fire,” said Percy A. Bugbee of the National Fire Protection Association before the Indiana section American Water Works Association. "The city that is not active In educating its people In methods of fire prevention, and does not ihsist on adequate fire protection, Is Inviting disaster in the form of life and property loss.” Mr. Bugbee, field engineer for the joint fire prevention committee of the water, fire department and fire insurance organizations of the United States, urged that every Indiana city form a fire prevention committee. He cited the success of the work done in Indianapolis as an instance of what may be gained. Indianapolis, he said, suffers fewer fire losses than most cities. “Foi that reason,” he declared,* “Indianapolis not only conserves property and life, but is able to command a very low rate for fire insurlance. This means an additional saving for property dwners. “The model fire prevention committee, such as that in the State capital, includes the fire organization, the water supply management, the fire insurance people, school authorities and police officials. When all these agencies cooperate, fire losses can be kept at a minimum. Most fires are preventable, being due to carelessness, and it is up to the cities to take preventive measures. It is not enough simply to maintain a fire department to put out the fires.” Mr. Bugbee called on the water supply men to take the lead in forming fire prevention committees in their cities.

Cinderella Man Lives in a Fantastic World

,pMH h^ :..s

By Hortense Saunders J KEA Service Writer NEW YORK, April s.—Edward W. Browning, Manhattan’s “Cinderella man,” lives in a fantastic world where Lochinvars are 57 when they ride forth and where Romeos sign contracts with the left hand while clinging precariously to a Juliet balcony with the right. Through this world dance lovely young sprites, who keep alive in the watcher the illusion of romance and youth—because the sprites possess both. But step into his office for a moment and perhaps you will understand a bit better. Obviously it is a real estate office. The sign on the door says so. This Browning, it seems, is lord of some fifty fine apartments and rentals come regularly from many hundred people. Collections and maintenance of such constitutes a vast amount of shrewd business. No Girl Workers But in the very outfitting of the place there is contradiction. Here and there about a waiting room are beautifully carved teawood chairs, suggesting the Orient and elegance. The first thing one notices is that there are no women employes about. Strange, one thinks, for a man whose name has been linked with romance from one end of the nation to the other. Somehow, young and lovely stenographers had been anticipated. Instead the doors open and shut and through them walk rriature men. Most of them are past middle age. Several are gray-haired. They bob In and out with papers to sign and checks to endorse. But from the walls are reflected a glimpse at the other, and very contradictory world. Pictures of Proteges Framed upon the wall are photographs of girls of 15, or thereabouts, dressed in middies and bloomers playing basketball, or lined up "for their pictures" after the game. To these the “Cinderella 'man” presents silver trophies or prize winning medals, or class pins, or whatever strikes his fancy. And, with his wealth, he can afford to have such fancies as he wills —as was demons'rated when his efforts at adopting Mary Spas brought him to public notice. Then there is a picture of a large catch of trout. The ‘Cinderella man” smiles. That was a five-minute catch of “Mary Sunshine,” whom he lias adopted. She is now attending a private school. " Meanwhile there has come Frances Heenan, 15, casual acquaintance _of a dancing party to "refill his life with joy.” Not only is he desirous of marrying the child, but quite as prepared to wave the magic wand that would bring any imagined luxury. Plans “Fairy" Aid This, apparently, is the gesture that pleases most “the Cinderella man.” He is not content to take girls and let them struggle through to their own destiny, building character and gathering acumen as they go. He does not search out their ambitions and help toward the realization. His is the “fairy tale"' Idea; to have luxury and ease and elegance fall upon them without effort. Obviously he is well acquainted with young dreams. He would give them education and teach them the social refinements. “I like girls who are young enough not to have lost their sensitivity,” he told me. “I like them feminine, young, unspoiled by the world, to a certain extent independent. “I like health, the glowing, exuberant sort that puts color in a girl’s cheeks and sparkle in her eyes. Stage beauties give me no pleasure. I should never willingly consent to have a child of mine or a woman I loved on the stage. I hate make-believe and tinsel.” He not only disapproves of the stage, but of the professional and business woman. “The business woman is too hard and calculating,” he explained. "The professional woman is always selfcentered. Both lose something very charming and sweet when they become self-supporting.” Proud of Notoriety Probably that is the reason there are no women working in Browning’s office. Apparently Jhe sees nothing incongruous in the December and May combination. He truly believes the Cinderella legend. He showed me with a great pride a drawer of clippings he had received as one day’s installment from his clipping bureau—some of these quite uncomplimentary, I’m sure. He told me of his difficulties in wading through the 40,000 letters he has received from girls wanting to be adopted. He did not dislike his notoriety. His hair is more gray than white. He is not particularly young looking for his age, though he does not suggest extreme age. He says three

Steck got enough support to feel hopeful about challenging the figures which seemingly had elected Brookhart. The Senate committee, engaged for many long months in thrashing i out the technical phases of certain 1 votes, has finally reported in favor of Steck. Until very recently every bet would have been ten to one In favor of Brookhart. Steck himself Is probably more surprised than anyone else at the turn events have taken.
