THE SAFETY OF ASSOCIATION HALL.

A correspondent writing 10 The TRIBUNE recently
criticised the hail of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION Building as having insufficient means OF
exit in case of panic and reporter was sent 20 as
is on the west side of the building at IWcnty-thld-
St and FOurtll-aVe. The main tlOOr on the second
story of the building contains seats Tor SO persons
The exits instead of being in the rear as Is usual,
are the sides of the room. mere are Iour 2lSles
each about three feet wide. The alsles divide the
seats in three portions and from the middle OF each
of the side groups two three rows OF seats are
taken out forming pasSageway leading directly 10
the door at each side. The side exits are about SIX
feet wide and consist of double doors opening out
ward. They open on stairs leading directly to
TWenty-third-St. The stairs are wide and straight
but somewhat steep. The arrangement of the doors
Oh the sides OF the room makes the distance IRON
most of the seats to the exits less than would other
wise be the case, but renders necessary making
turns that would he difficult in case of panic.
Besides these exits there is very good escape
through a door III the southeast corner leading
across bridge into the other part OF the bulldlng'
There is also an exit provided with rcproOf door
from the northeast part OF the main floor into the
main offices of the Association. There Is simple
platform not used as stage The gallery has seats
for 54 persons and occupies three sides OF the ROOM
The exits which consist of wide double doors iead-
ing to stalrways, are not very accessible Ohe Oh
them is in the extreme southwest corner, and the
only means of getting at 1t from the rear gallery Is
bv a narrow passage between the seats on the west
side Thu aisle has sharp turns III II, and leads up
and down several steps. The doors on the east side
of the gallery do not open directly on an aisle lead
ing down between the seats, but on q narrow pass
age running at right angles to the entrance Ihefe
is kind of boxed entry inside OF the door, so tnaC
the exit would be difficult of access in case OF panic
There is door i'll the northeast corner, leading INTO
some Offices that would make good means or
escapc if necessary. Most Of the aisles the sides
of the room. have seats IN them, which are used
when the building is well filled

Fearful Consumption of Liquors

Ia letter to the London Times, Mr..
William Hoyle gives some facts and
figures concerning the liquor traffic in
Great Britain that are really appalling.
The expenditure on drink for the past
year was 1856, 372,300, sum 1913, 49,
925 in excess of the cost of the preceding
year. The consumption Of beer alone
amounted to 970,788,564 gallons, the
cost of which was $364,045,71O, leaving
the cost of other intoxicants at $271, :
326,590. The drink bill for the past ten
years amounts to the enormous sum of
$3.50, 100000, or nearly twice the
national debt of that country. This is
simply the cost of the liquor, without
counting the indirect losses grown out of
its USE If these were added, the gross
total would exceed belief. AS it is, the
average yearly expenditure for drink is
about $635,0O0,000, or $7,5OO,OOO more
than the rental of all the houses and
lands in the United Kingdom The de
velopment for crime, pauperism and in
sanity keeps pace with the increased con-
sumption of drink. While twenty years
ago the convictions for crime averaged
259,04l annually, for the past three
years the annual average has been $780,
628, an increase of more than two hun
dred per cent. The number of Migrants
and lunatics has increased in still greater
proportion, while the expenditures for
poor rates and police rates were greater
in 1880 than at any previous time in
English history This is terrible pic
ture for a country which processes tc
stand at the front of Christian nations
The Times may well say, drinking
battles US, confounds us, shames us, and
mocks us at ever point. Every other in
stitution founders is hopeless difficulties
the public house holds its triumphant
course. "-Interior.
