BY YOUNGSTERS
BEATS SHOOTING THE CHUTES
Spiral Slides Erected at Santa Fe Hos
pitaI Furnish ExhiIaratlng Sport
for Boys, Despite Efforts
to Prevent Them
BEATS SHOOTING THE CHUTES

Santa Fe officials have a grave ques-
ton for solution. 1t Is how to prevent
the boys in the neighborhood of Sixth
and st. Louis streets from sliding down
the fire escapes Of the new Santa Fe
hospital building, which is in process
of construction.
The fire escapes are Of the Kirker
Bender patent. the first to be erected in
Los Angeles and consist of a cylindri-
cal steel shell containing spiral in
cline. The new hospital has three of
them, one forty feet in height and the
other two with an altitude of thirty
feet.
Sliding down the escape is more fun
going to the circus, according to the
unanimous verdict of the neighbor-
hood youngsters, and so popular has the
sport become that it's fame has spread
throughout that entire portion of the
city.
The contractors have boarded up the
entrances and exits of the escapes, but
this has not despoied them of their
utility as pleasure makers. Safety lad
ders have been placed on the outside of
each cylinder and by the aid of these
the children climb to the top, thence
with glad shrieks of pleasure go slid
ing to the bottom.
Molasses, tacks and fypaper. liber-
ally applied, have heen suggested as a
preventative Of the trouble. but the
Santa Fe officials have looked at the
question from the mothers standpoint
and have come to the conclusion that
this solution of the problem would be
real mean."
