Tii" timely discovery of the tire bv etfTi'-er I'.ailey Friday morr.inu n;d the speedy and tvicient work of th tire department in removing the ' ' u pants fiom tlie upper doors of tii" Merchants bank block prey, nted .i tragedy which Wful ha-.e l).-cn 't f p 1 1 i n ' ' in its d . .- f r u r ,,n r.f ijf., j;d would have Idled oJr city with '.i m a rid sliana . Tins building was ereet'd lffore wc bad a buihlinT ordinance and far from conforming t() the prf.-.uit -tamiard of safety required ir. modern ofbeo and apartment hou"e ( or.sti u' tion. Tiie buildlncr v.is thrt sfori- hit'h and w as 1J f e ib , p arid lee fe t wide la tweep. ".re walls The lower story was us od foi business feirposts and the two iM'i" r t!o,rs were used for otlices and liviri'-T apartments. A trinsvrso r iitra 1 hall s-pa rated the front from the rear on the vr-eond and third floors. One entrance on Michigan sf. and a torturous exit to the alley together with two woefully inadequate fire scapes on the rear constitute. 1 the means of escape. As a whole the building had in it layout an ever piecent potential catastrophe, contemplation of which caused a thrill of horror to come over every "r acrpiairrcd with the situation and realizing its possibilities. It wa? only by chance that a tragedy was avoided. Had the otlicer i cen just a few minutes later In the discovery of the fire, no action by the tire department however heroic or roura peons could have prevented the lf.-s of life. Since the erec'ion of this buildIns? both state and city Ie:?j.slaTor have written in our statute hooks, laws which are designed to minimize the occurrence of fire catastrophes-

fwv state housir.r law as well as ourl city buil lim: eib specifies the class ( of construction, the areas between'

fire walls, the number of exits and other sa feianrds which make the possibility of the sudden spread of a fire remote as well as facilitating and safepruardint; escape when a fire dors occur. The state law requires that a "three Ftory apartment house In any part of the city f-hall he brick, th?t either fire-proof stairways or approved tire escapes in addition to non tire-proof stairways be provided, that all tire escapes be available without passing through any apartment and our city code requires that any building in the lire-proof limits, which comprises the downtown district, be constructed of tire-proof materials throughout. South "Hcnd can congratulate itself that it has a buildintr ordinance whih is srradually developing a city of modern buildintrs by preventing the reconstruction of such buildiners as the Merchants bank block. The erection of lire-proof buildiners is very expensive but It is economy in the lotur run, not only in lower insurance rates and increased rentals but in that peace of mind which comes from the calm assurance of the maximum of safety known to the science of building. Each fireproof building erected In our business section acts as a fire stop in case of a larsre conflagration. C A. PERKINS"

A resolution ' y n t uiiri- ssmart Mickey to upport the Mason resolution, now before the foreign relation committee of congress, asking.' for r ceprnitior. of the Irish republic, was pa?e1 at a meeting of the executive committee of the United Irish soci-tie of St. Joseph county l eid at the Oliver hotel. Every member of the committer was present representing the 1,00 member?? in this county. Favorable action was taken on the question of floating the new bond issue of the Trlsh republic and a committee appointed to take the matter in charge, it was alfo decider! to send two members to voice the nentlments of the societies at the hearing, Pec. 12, before the foreiirn relations committee of the Mason resolution. The resolution sent to Congressman Mickey follows: "Kesolved by the United Irish oricties of South I'.eml. assembled in mreting and representing the Irish societies of St. Joseph county, that we respectfully ask Congressman Mb key of the iHth congressional district, to support with voice and vote the Mason resolution now before the foreign relations committee of congress, asking for recognition by the government of the United States of th independence of the Republic of Ireland. That we regard this resolution worthy of the support of every American and in accordance with the traditions of the United States and as a step leading to the prompt and amicable settlement of the controversy between the Irish and English nations."

ROOM FOR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL HERE. A party f prominent people of South Rend and their children were motoring through the. country near South Rend when the party cited a number of pine tres. The conversation immediately turned towards the coming Christmas and Santa Claus. A lad of :ive had kept very quiet during the entire conversation and w.is constantly eyeing his mother a though he was in deep thouirht. Finally the little fellow could not withhold his thoughts any long r and climbing on his mother's lap said: "Mother. I certainly low Santa Claus." "Are you real certain of that. Dick." was the mother's reply. "Yes." said the hve-year-oid son. -"1 really believe I love Santa Claus more than I do Jesus Christ." The conversation at once turned to topics other than these pertaining to Christmas.
