Room in Inferno In the heat testing rooms the flames are seeping through the cracks of a wood lined, metal covered fire door, built into the brick front of a furnace. Near by an attendant with electric re cording devices is studying what is happening in the 1600 degree Inferno behind the red hot door. Suddenly the entire furnace front, door and all, rolls, away on an overhead track and a work man plays a two inch fire hose over the glowing door. The col or dies away, inside the metal covering is a mass of charcoal, but the steel plates have with stood an hour's baking without letting sufficient fire through to Ignite anything beyond the door. Theories Are Tried Out Nearby a cement covered steel pillar, such as is used in modern building, is being installed 1n a tall furnace by brlckmasons. Its base rests on solid concrete. High above , a gigantic hydraulic press clamps down, applying an enor mous pressure, f. The furnace front is sealed, the gas turned' on, the heat gradually rising until, at the end of eight hours it will reach . 2300 degrees. If the pil lar still : stands, the hydraulic press, with a mlximum power of 545,000 pounds to the square inch, will : be turned loose to to crush it. . From the - tangled debric ex ports will construct the theories on which fireproof pillars are to be built. " Working Poll Blast 1 Topsy-turvy land is working at full blast. In the roof testing room the testers have completed a; miniature roof of patent com position shingles. A gas flame at theend of a long wind tunnel sweeps up . over the eaves and plays along the roof , surface. Afephalt in ' the roofing catches fire, but when the blast is shut off. the flames die out. , The roof has, passed , the test and ' would resist the usual flying brands fromxother burning buildings. In addition to the big three story laboratories here, covering half a city block, an electrical laboratory is maintained in New York to pass on the efficiency of electrical - apparatus. A similar laboratory here deals with the fire resisting qualities of Insulat ed parts. , As . the burning root . dies , out a workman pours five gallons of gasoline Into a nearby tank and lights it. . Up above an automatic; valve ; opens and , fills the tank with a foamy chemical, smother- down "the hall. An engineer bttilda a small fire on the tile floor. The flames crackle for. a minnte or two. Then an auto matic fire door, which functions if -the temperature changes 10 degrees in two minutes, closes, an automatic sprinkler head blows oft. and the fire, is out. . The Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc., was founded by W. H. Mer rill, its president, with funds fur nished by the national board of fire underwriters. The institu tion, is self-supporting through nominal testing fees, and the ser vice charge for factory inspection and the sale of its labels, which are familiar on hundreds of dif ferent devices. Merrill 1 Veteran Mr. Merrill, who came to Chi cago in 1894 as chief electrical inspector of the World's fair, or iginally started a testing labora tory to standardize electrical equipment. Now there are labor atories here devoted to fire pro tection devices, hydraulic and fin fighting equipment, gases and oils, chemicals, electricity and sig nals, automotive parts, safety de vices for machinery, and an avia tion section which passes on the safety of aeroplanes and the qual ifications of pilots. Major R. W. Schroeder, former holder of the world's altitude record, is in charge of the latter work. Electrical Laboratory Uel In addition to the big three story laboratories here, covering half a city block, an electrical laboratory is maintained in New York to pass on the ef Iciency of electrical apparatus. A similar laboratory here deals with the fire resisting - qualities of insulated parts. In addition to the original test the laboratory follows up all la beled products by testing samples purchased in the open department or received from users, from time to time. The automobile lock de partment alone, passing on locks which, by their use, decrease in surance premiums, examines thou sands of samples yearly. An inventor appeared at the laboratories recently to have a new automobile lock 'le ce had perfected tested. Besitles what he believed to be an abso lutely burglar proof lock, he had equipped his car with a sig nal device intended to blow -:f any one tampered wita the ma chine. While he was arranging for the test an assistant in the laboratory went outside, picked the lock and hid the car. The investor was satisfied with the deraon&tratioa of the laboratory's efficiency. AGE ANT BEAUTY The veteran Georges Clemen- ceau says that the American wp- men are even more beautiful than they were when he lived here 50 years ago. Does the - gallant Frenchman mean the same w- men? The beauty parlors hare certainly been doing some won derful work.
