Fwemen on Ocean Steamships Need

The Sailors Bethel, In Boston. has found a new
outlet for its activity 1t is collecting old carpets

holders. The heat in which these men work Is so
great that a who had not gradually got ac-

One of the hottest things around a boiler room
is tho slicebar. with which the fremen from time

These bars frequently become red hot and unless
the fireman protects his hands serious burns re-
suit Experiments have been tried with holders

carpet the bars can be handled without danger.
An iGea of the high temperature OF these bars

A representative from the Bethel has been scour-

which have served out their usefulness as floor

The Bethel has solved in this way one of the
perplexing problems besettiug the fireman. Hith-

ATLANTIC CITY AFFAIRS

question that the city authorities will be able to

been the playground for hundreds and thousands of
persons from all parts OF the world for several

message to the City Council that these piers be
purchased by the city and placed under municipal
control

Studies of Anacostia Marshes
Excellent Work of Max Weyl

Max Weyl has thus far been pre-
vented by the unfavorable weather from
his spring pilgrimages into the country
in search Of sketches, but he is now
painting from an earlier sketch an at
tractive row Of apple trees in full
bloom. The scheme Of the color ar
rangement Is full OF the sentiment of
spring, and the delicacy of color pro-
duces an exceedingly pleasing decorn-
tive composition. A large canvas, The
Edge of the Wood" from a sketch
made in Albemarle county, Virginia.
upon the ancestral home of Princess
Troubetzkoy. shows magnificent cotton
wood trees in the foreground, whose
widespreading branches form an arch
through which is a charming view OF
landscape at early autumn.
OF smaller size. but of importan,
artistic value. are some studies from
the Anacostia flats. In these pictures
the artist has relied upon well-selected
compositions with a simple combination
OF marshy foreground with well-psinted
skies to give the touch of beauty 10
these desolate and unattractive sec
tons. In his interpretations the
marshes have become places of interest
and beauty.
