Dickey, the supervising architect, according to announcement by jthe.of-ffebtl. At a reent meeting of the Boarl of Education tWe suggestion was made, by representatives of the Santa Fe Improvement Association that the building should be constructed of wood In orUer to save' htbney and thereby make it possible to include a number of important features which it now appears may have to be left out.

roort mTwrwnxT. "The people wilt never stand for this," "declared Dickey. "A building constructed, of wood would be the worst investment a city could possibly make. The fire hazard to life would not be so- great, as the building would be provided with exits ample to allow for the escape. of all the inmates.

The point is, however, ffrat the entire investment would bo. lost in case of a fire, because there is not enough fire apparatus in this part of ther country to. extinguish a stiff blaze in such a building. "Buildings of this size-of wood at-e prohibited in nearly all cities, notably San Francisco. Our ordinance does not cover the matter.

EXAGGERATED CI AIM. 'The argument that the wooden construction would 6ave 20 or 25 per cent Is a mistake. Not more than seven per, cent could i be saved In wood "The building, according to the present plans, will have concrete walls for the two story portion with a roof of, wood, and wooden construction for the smaller one-story portions. It will be the second largest school in the whole program." Dickey explained that because of the lajck of funds it may be necessary to omit the shop unit, the cafeteria, and. possibly the gymnasium.

It was with the idea. of saving money enough to include these items that the suggestion was made to build the schoot of wood. Dickey said wooden construction would notifUi 'suf fl-clent saving to bring this about.

Forbes says that piracy China has assumed greater proportions than ever before in the htefory of the celestial empire. This, he Bays, a result of the state of lawlessness now existing throughout China and of the fact that there is no centralized rovernment. Forbes said that in most cases the pirates are a lot of miserable cowards, who can.be put to flight by actions of a determined man, as in the case of Captain Helm. ment in Chinij is constituted by a coterie of provincial governors, who maintain themselves in power by a number of banded soldiers, who are permitted to loot and steal." Forbes related how recently a governor made a trip to Peking, deposed the government and installed a new administration which was more to his taste.
