Nebraska travelling men are en-
deavoring to get the hotels to put
many and how good the fire escapes
may be. According to the men who
travel out of Norfolk some progress
is being made, but they will not rest
easy until all the hotels have such
ropes. The ropes as used in the hotels
which have put them in are long
enough to reach from the windows to
the ground, are firmly fastened to a
ring in the floor or wall, which is
strong enough to bear the weight of
one or more persons. The ropes us.
ually have knots tied in them every
foot or eighteen inches, making ii
possible for anyone to go down the
rope in case of fire without Sliding
and scalding the hands. Letters have
been received from Illinois Travel
ing Mems association saying the hotel
men of that state are installing ropes
and another circular of the associa
ton says the need of ropes in each
room was shown when the Copeland
hotel burned in Topeka and guests had
to jump from windows or lower them.
