There is no more striking example
of public indifference to needed lawj
revision than the majority of the
country's building codes. j4
The inconsistency and obsolescence
of these would be humorous if the,
result were not eo serious.
The buildings consumed by fire .
last year would line both sides of a 4
street more than a thousand miles
long. The cost of last year's fires in
this country was more than $54,- Ji.
000,000 every man, woman and J.
child in this country is contribut- ?
ing to this total for the meager and
unsatisfactory "protection" that it
affords.
In addition to the cold dollars i
represented bv the millions paid out
in insurance, we have the added mil-
lions of loss not covered by insur-
ance, so it is safe to say fire in this
country is costing us more than a
billion dollars a year.
Much of this sheer waste could
have been prevented if our building
codes were up to date. There are
codes that compel firesafe construe- t
y
tion for places of detention, yet per
mit fire-trap school buildings, theat-
res, hotels and other structures hous-
ing large numbers of people and who
can say that firesafe homes are not
just as necessary as firesafe schools?
Such construction is not necessary
for the afety of the individual, but j
for the safety of the community. And
in this case, the community is the
nation. j?
We are interested in a good build
ing code for our own city, and are .,
equally interested in a good code for z
every other city, because no matter,
where the fire, we pay our share of i
the loss. j,
We may not be able immediately!
to legislate firetraps out of exist-j
ence, but if the test of other com
munities stands we can, through a
modern building code, legislate into t
existence buildings that won't burn.

Lincoln C. Andrews has Just ex
plained what prohibition meant to
him before he was appointed Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury and
charged with the task of enforcing
the dry laws.
"I would go Into the club," he
says, "and tell Pat, the attendant, to
get a bottle of scotch. I did not then
realize, as I do now, that I was fat
tening the organized bootleg indus
try." '
In plain words, prohibition meant
nothing to Gen. Andrews until he
was made our dry generalissimo. His
personal habits were the same after
prohibition a9 before. When he
wanted a drink he got it. And that
is what 95 out of every 100 men in
the country in Gen. Andrews" cir
cumstances have done and are do
ing. Prohibition has imposed no de
nial or hardship on them. It has
simply raised the price of drink and
lowered the quality.
The 95 will go on doing that very
thing, like Gen. Andrews, they had
no notion before Andrews was made
dry chief that they were violating
any law that they ought to respect,
or committing any crime, or doing
anything unbecoming good citizens.
And they don't now. And neither
would Gen. Andrews except for his
job. He sees the whole situation
now from the standpoint of an offi
cial charged with the enforcement of
a law that as a citizen he believed
to be-wrongful and nonenforceable.
