Already considerable complaint II IL

Fire Escapes Badly Needed.

Inspector Ashford does not hesitate 10
say that the law. inasmuch as it makes
no discrimination IN favor OF fireprOof
buildings. Is somewhat too sweeping
and that had It been modified in certain
features Il would have been Just as
effective on the other hand, he main
tains that the District lad long stood
in need OF A fire escape law and that 10
adequate protection was possible while
the old conditions remained.
Another criticism Of the new law Is
suggested in the action Of Congress IN
striking out a paragraph Incorporates
in Inspector AShford's original draft,
permitting buildings having two stair
ways separated by distance or thirty
feet TO remain without fire escapes. Two
such stairways. contends Mr. AshfoT,
provide ample exit IN case OF ire. and
such view Of the needs Of the sltua-
ton would have been more liberal. he
thinks.
Under the former law. to remedy
which the present law was advised. the
Commissioners were given power 10 de-
terTnine whether a building was fire
proof and as 20 the need OF fire escapes
But this IS not the case a reference to
the bill shows. under the present law.
They We're il is stated given the o.
ton of retaining this power but were
convinced that IL was inadvisable and
consequently IL was omitted when the

A Word TO People
Who Don't Believe
In "Furniture Sales"

First, you've never had any experience with WANAMAKER
Furniture Sales or you would be as enthusiastic about these
periodic trade occasions as the thousands of housekeepers who
have made them such tremendous successes each recurring
season. " @-
You would probably come here today or tomorrow II you
really believed, that you could secure three hundred dollars worth
OF furniture for two hundred dollars, and larger or smaller
amounts at proportionate savings. Taking it for granted, OF
course, that the collection from which you select is as large and
complete, and that styles and quality are the full equal OF what
you would And II you paid the largsr prices.
We have no way to convince you OF this except by our direct
statement OF the fact that these conditions are all absolutely true
OF the Wanamaksr August Furniture Sale.
OF course, not ell this furniture is reduced a third there are
many pieces worth double the prices they are marked. Other
furniture is worth o third more than now priced, and on our
own staple lines OF regular stock which we have marked down,
30 that every piece Of furniture in the store might be in this
August Sale, reductions are sometimes az small as ten per cent.
But you select from the finest furniture, the best made furniture,
the largest variety OF furniture that can be found anywhere at
any time. ,
II you are interested in building up a beautiful home and
keeping the household expenses on the basis OF constant, good
investment, you owe it to yourself and the money-provider to
examine the Wanamaker Furniture stocks during this August
Sale. Anyone who comes and examines the furniture and prices
never aftsrward doubts the benefit OF buying while there is a
trade sale at LAWMAKERS. We only add that the present
occasion brings an opportunity a little larger and better than
most OF the sales OF the past.
