Havana Takes Steps
to Limit Fire Danger
(By Associated Press)
HAVANA, Apr. 16.—Carrying out
an established policy of the city of
Havana, orders have been issued by
the mayor for demolition of many
window frames and furniture are
I wooden within the city limits. Doors,
| generally the only wood to be seen
, in the majority of Havana’s homes
I and office buildings. Floors are tile.
Visiting American firemen have
' said that Havana is the best con
j structed city they have ever seen,
! when fire risk is considered. The
Spanish style or architecture is gen
erally pleasing to the eye and resi
dences with ceilings 15 or more feet
! from the floor are the rule. This
!
i provides greater coolness during the
! heat of the summer days. An even
j temperature, falling below 75 only
on rare occasions and generally nev
er reaching above 88, makes heating
i arrangements unnecessary.
Fishes, grasshoppers, beetles, Hies
and other inhabitants of Kentucky
caves are all blind.
I Angered when her husband ridi
culed her for being fat, Mrs. Wini
fred Halligan of New York slashed
his neck with a razor, but not fa
tally.
John Elder of Wichita, Kan., tes
tified that his wife had married
three soldiers during the war in
order to get their government al
lotments.
Gateway want-ads bring results.

LORD ESHER’S THEORY
WOULD SCRAP BRITISH
MINISTERS, SAVE ONE
(By ABfiooiRtcd Press)
LONDON, Apr. 1(5.—Recent asser
tion of Lord 'Esher that but few men
are fit for politics after reaching 40
years of age has caused much specu
lation in British Parliamentary cir
cles and lias resulted in the ages of
all the English cabinet members be
ing discussed in numerous publica
tions. If Lord Esher’s theory were
brought into practice, it was reveal
ed that the present cabinet would
be reduced to one member, this be
ing Lord Eustace Perry, minister of
education, who is 38 years old.
Lord Esher, deputy governor of
Windsor Castle, and auther of sever
al books dealing with the lives of
King Edward and Queen Victoria,
who himself is in his 73rd year, on
! the question of ages, said: “To very
few, and possibly only to reflective
minds, like Sophocles and Leonardo,
is the privilege granted of sustain
ed vigor after the age of forty.” He
cited Napoleon, who was 40 when
i at Schonbrunn in 1809, the zenith of
i his career. In Chatham and his
I son as well, hecontends, the vital
| spark paled early.
Further, Lord Esher asserted: “No
man, and very few women, retain
! physical charm and generous in
j stincts after 40 years of age. All
men and women should be aware of
the 30‘s. In our time there are mani
fold examples of the failure to main
| tain, after the age of 40, a pertinent
| grasp over public affairs and the
1 faculty of wise decision.”
“But is there, in fact, any true
comparison between the men of to
day and the men even of the Napole
onic times?” asks the Evening Stand
ard in an editorial in which Lord
Esher’s contentions are disputed,
i The most ordinary observation of
i society as it exists at the present
! time would appear sufficient to neg
j ative the theory that few women re
tain physical charm at 40, says the
I Standard which goes on to aver that
j evidently the dramatists of today do
j not think so, or they would not be
so fond of introducing mature hero
ines.
After pointing out historically and
otherwise where Lord Esher is alto
gether wrong in his observations con
cerning politicians the Standard con
Itinues: “As for the statement that
no man retains generous instincts
after 40, surely the converse is near-!
er the truth. Women are here the !
best judges, and it is a very com
mon experience to find young women
turning from men of their own age
to men who are considerably their
seniors merely because they find
; not only more entertainment, but
I
i more sympathy and understanding.
Lord Esher’s most recent work
was “The Tragedy of Lord Kitch
ener,” a book completed when he was
71 years of age.
Detroit Plans Building
To Be 35 Stories High
(By Associated Press)
DETROIT, Apr. 16.—A decade or
so ago a quiet residential street, to
day a thriving business artery, is the
transition of Washington Boulevard,
a short thoroughfare starting at Mich
igan avenue in this city and terminat
ing four blocks distant at Park Boule
vard.
Another unit in the transitory pro
gress is to come with the erection
of a 35 story annex to the present
Book Building. At the intersection
of Washington Boulevard and Grand
River Avenue, the new structure will
be the tallest building in Michigan,
and is but another unit in the plan
to make the boulevard Detroit’s
“Fifth Avenue.”
Among other projects announced is
the new town house of the Aviation
Town and Country Club, also a sky
scraper, to be erected on the present
site of the Y. W. C. A., at the corner
of Clifford Street and Washington
Boulevard.
Owing to the protests against
bad air odors in Paris subways, ap
paratus will be installed to per
fume the underground stations and
cars.
