"The shipbuilders are considering the fire, hazard more than ever before, hat they still have a long way to before ships are fireproof. The new vessels are being equipped with steel partitions, which are designed to con fine sny fire to the section of the ship in which it originated, but even this measure is not made compulsory by our Government. There is reason, Ex cept that of cost. to keep any liner from being fireproof. The Navy bullds all-steel vessels, and even furniture is stéci and alumínium. The preventive nensures now in use are built into the much as anything. The International Conference Safety at Sea in its meeting in London last April had a lot to say about lowering the fire hazard.

"Fire screen bulkheads and doors are fitted throughout all passenger' quar- ters of modern steamers, and stair ways are of fireproof construction, en closed in fire-resisting casings. In this way it is possible to restrict areas affected. Our passenger steamers are fitted with automatic devices which re cord the existence of even the smallest blaze.
