USE OF ASBESTOS.
Enters Largely Into Household and
Theatrical Furnishings

Since the holocaust at the Iroquois The
alter, Chicago, asbestos has come very de-
cidedly into prominence, and it is reported
that the large dealers are being crowded
with orders for theater curtains Of such
material. Asbestos. 1t is explained is read
lily made into household and theatrical fur
nishings of all kinds, including carpetings
1t Is learned that steel curtains. not un-
common in European theaters, have been
advocated by some theatrical firms, as well
as by building contractors. who allege that
asbestos lacks the necessary stiffness and
strength to stop the blasts of hot air COM
mon in theater fires. This the asbestos
people reply to by explaining the detail of
construction of their curtains. They say
that asbestos by itself is lacking where
great tensile strength Is required 1t Is
fiber which, when spun into thread, will
not knit as powerfully as other stuffs.
Some concerns use cotton with it, and
thereby weaken its flreproof quality. But
by spinning the asbestos fiber on thin metal
wire and weaving these threads together
texture that is strong, light and fireproof,
and makes the best kind of fire curtain
is obtained.
The asbestos manufacturers add
Metal curtains, on the other hand, Will
not only carry heat, but generate 1t. They
become warped and extend blaze
Fire curtains however are but one thing
In hundred that are treated with asbestos.
Steam pipes and boilers are covered with
asbestos Jackets to protect woodwork from
screening. In refrigerating plants asbestos
serves to keep out hot air and store the
cold. In the cars for the subway that are
now being operated along the elevated
road an asbestos preparation named Tran
site Is relied upon to make the cars fire.
proof. This Is a dense sheet material not
unlike thin. light planking.
Asbestos. in fact, is used nowadays for
almost every purpose from tooth filings to
stove Innings 1t will not burn, and as a
non-conductor OF heat it has become almost
necessity"
In regard to theaters, 1t is suggested that
Dy the installation of a second asbestos
curtain on the outside of the proscenium
arch, which would to a greater extent pre-
vent heat from reaching the auditorium a
complete fire cutoff might be obtained be-
tween the stage and the auditorium of a
theater.

The death OF Col. Morris d. Wickersham.

SCHEME FAVORED.
Lack of Funds, However, Prevents Ac
ceptance at This Time.

The Commissioners, in report forwarded
to Congress today, state that they are In
favor of the establishment of public COM
fort stations in the city, as proposed In a
recent bill referred to the District authori-
ties for consideration, but on account OF
the condition of the District financies they
do not deem 1t advisable to recommend the
enactment OF the bill at this time
In commenting on the proposition the
Commissioners say that "the estimated cost
of an underground public comfort station
for both sexes is SIS ,OOO and the cost OF
It's maintenance about 81, 800 per annum. Ii
does not seem desirable to provide in the
bill that the salaries paid for this service
shall not exceed the amount of fees col
lected. In the judgment Of the Commission
ers it would be better to have the regular
fees paid and turned into the treasury the
same as other fees received by the Dis
trict, and to pay the employees suitable
salaries"

Clearance Sale of
Hurt and DAMAGED Books.

Comprising all of the books left
over from the Christmas stock which
we are anxious to dispose of and
upon which we have placed very low
prices.
Many of these books have been
carelessly handled during the past
few weeks, and as a result, they are
a little the worse for it.
In some cases it is the cover only,
in others the book itself has suffer
ed J.; thumb marks on one, leaf torn
here, etc.-scarcely any of them
enough to call the book damaged,
and yet they are not absolutely per-
feet. We have made the prices ex-
tremely low, as we desire to sell
every one this week.
This stock will be found arranged
on tables in the center of the room,
all OF same price together, where
they may be easily examined.
Owing to the very low prices at
which we offer them they will not
be exchanged.
