State’s Prison
Is A Fire trap
Raleigh.—If fire should break out
in the Central prison here, virtual
ly the same thing would happen a.
in the Ohio prison fire Monday,
since the North Carolina centra1
prison here is a vertlble fire trap,
according to Superintendent Geo.
Ross Poti, who agrees with 'Gover
nor O. Mux Gardner that the pres
ent prison plant is a potential
death trap because of the fire ha
zard.
The present North Carolina pri
son was built in 1 !!K3 and though
the wails are of brick, all of the
floors, doorways, stairways and mast
of the interior are of hard, rich pine
that would burn like turpentine if
a fire should get started, Superin
tendent Pou says. This condition
Has been called to the attention of
the legislatures in the past, but
nothing has ever been done largely
due to the insistence from unin
formed sources that the North |
Carolina prison department oper
ates on its own resources and earn
ings alone. Mr. Pou also points out
‘ that, the warden of the Ohio prison
I had repeatcm# pointed out condi
I Hons there and asi-.ea for a new
I prison but that no attention Jras
[ paid to his requests.
Every possible precaution against
fire and preparation for fighting it
has been made at the Central pri
son here. Superintendent Pou points
out, including chemical fire extin
guishers, individual hose and reel
equipment and within the last
month, this fire fighting equipment
has been materially increased. A
few years ago a water line from the
city water supply was run around
the prison with hydrants for hose
connection.
But this is not adequate fire pro
tection, for fire protection costs
money, according to Mr. Pou. Sev
eral years ago an estimate was ob
tained, on how much it would cost
to fireproof the Central prison
buildings. The estimated cost was in
excess of $100,000. The plan was
abandoned In the belief that it
would be better to apply this
amount in the construction of an
entirely new prison plant of fire
proof construction and with many
other features that are much need
ed but now contained In the
present prison p’ant. Governor
Gardner and the majority of the
members of the prison board agree
with Supt. Pou In this.
"The fire hazard is by "no means
the only objection to the present
plant," said Supt. Pou. "There
should be means of segregating the
confirmed criminal from the first

Spring Colds—
Guard Against Them, Warns Dr. Copeland
This Season of Year, When Resistance is Low, Colds4
Ire Apt to Extend to the Bronchial Tubes—
Watch Weather Changes!
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health, Nev> York City.
IN the Spring of the year eolds are more common perhaps than at
other times. This is because the resistance is lowered to such aa
extent that the watchful germs, all the time present, more easily
gain a lodging place in the nose or threat. Very soon inflammation
DR- COPELAND
ox the delicate mucous membrane follows.
So long as the cold can be confined to the
nose it is troublesome and annoying, but not
serious. But very often it does not stop there.
The cold may extend to the bronchial tubes, to
the eyes and ears.
With young children, the most common acute
disease, next to indigestion and diarrhea, is cold
in the chest, or bronchitis. It may be mild, with
little or no fever. In a severe case the fever may
go as high as 102 degrees F.
The cough may be loose, or dry and most an
noying. It may be so bad that it is almost like
whooping cough. Care must be taken that it
does not develop into broncho-pneumonia.
A child may nave diseased tonsils or adenoids
and this disability may be the cause of lowered
resistcnce to disease. These things should be
corrected and not allowed to go on until serious
sickness results.

The attacks of bronchitis may re
cur annually at about the same time
of the year. There is excessive
coughing and raising of mucus and
the breathing is difficult. In aged
persons great care must be taken
that the condition does not develop
into pneumonia. The patient should
be kept warm until the doctor takes
charge.
Constipation usually accompanies
