TESTS PLANNED SEEK
FLOOR TO WITHSTAND
MOST EXTREME HEAT
(By Associated Press)
CHICAGO, 111., May 2.—The secret
of a non-combustible floor is be
ing sought in original tests at the
Underwriter’s Laboratory here where
anything that has to do with fire or
accidents or their prevention is test
ed.
Floors built under secret formulas
to withstand the most severe heat
and strain soon will be subjected to
a direct and over-heat of up to 2,
200 degrees, the approximate maxi
mum attainable, under heavy floor
loads.
One floor has been constructed
and another is being built. They will
be permitted to stand 30 days be
fore the tests, however, to permit
them to assume conditions which
would obtain in actual construction.
Manufacturers, architects and in
surance companies are deeply inter
ested in the forthcoming tests which,
it is hoped, will produce a floor ca
pable of confining the fiercest blaze
to a single story of a building.
Engineers will observe the floors
constantly during the tests, and will
use instruments of precision for ob
serving the moment and degree of
buskling in the floors and the temper
ature under which the floors give
first indications of failure.
Protection Against Fire
Aim of Water Works Men
(By Associated Press)
LOUISVILLE, May 4.—Progress in
the battle to avoid fire losses, which
has supplanted the campaign waged
against typhoid fever by water con
tamination, will be reported here
when the American Water Works
Association meet.
Since the first drive against ty
phoid fever was undertaken years ago
by the water supply engineers of
the country,” said Frank C. Jordan
of Indianapolis, president, “the death
rate in cities has been steadily re
duced. The association has main
tained its campaign and devotes a
large part of its efforts to educa
tion as to the best chemical treat
ment for water in- public use.
“In conjunction with the Interna
tional Association of Fire Engineers
and the National Fire Protection As
sociation we have engaged in the
problem of fire prevention and will
give it perpetual battle to reduce
fire losses in proportion to our cred
itable record in the saving of life.”
Public health officers from many
states will cooperate with the water
works men in conducting the progra.m
