MUST BE VENTILATED.
Theaters and Public Buildings Can
No Longer Be Unsanitary.

w. L. A. johnson, commissioner of
the bureau of labor, is sending out to
all the fire chiefs in Kansas a letter
calling attention to the new law re-
lating to ventilation in theaters and
, public buildings. The 1911 legislature
made some important changes relative
to fire escapes. exits and the ventila-
ton of theaters, especially the NOV
ing picture shows and also other
buildings used for public purposes.
The law was published March 81 and
the theater managers have sixty days
in which to make the improvem ents
required by the law before penalties
can be collected. The circular being
sent out by Mr.. johnson says:
THE rules and regulations now IN
effect will continue as to this statute,
with such exceptions as the statute
specifically requires.
1.-THE following rules are suggested
for determining the amount of venti-
lating space required in picture shows
and theaters:
"Rule 1. The natural ventilation by
doors and windows-under normal
conditions and at normal temperature,
the velocity of air travel is estimated
to be from so to so feet per minute,
where the exhaust equals the intake in
area.
"Rule 2. The natural ventilation by
ventilating f1ues or chin neys-Under
normal conditions the velocity of air
travel is estimated to be from 200 to
300 feet per minute. The velocity of
air travel through ventilators in CELL
ings will range about 100 to $50 feet
per minute.
"Rule 3. Small power fans placed
in windows or openings in walls will
give forced velocity of air travel of
from 500 to 800 feet per minute,
where fans compare reasonably well
with the size of ODeQinQ
"Rule 4. The velocity in number of
feet of air travel per minute multi
piled by the number of square feet of
area of openings used for ventilation
will give the volume Of air in cubic
feet that will pass through the OPEN
ing per minute.
Rule 8. To determine the required
amount of artificial ventilation, null
tiply the number of seating capacity
by 80, and from this amount subtract
the number of cubic feet of air OBJ
tanned per minute from natural ven
tilation as per rules and 2. The re-
mainder will be the amount of air in
cubic feet to be supplied by fans or
otherwise.
where windows. doors or other
natural means of ventilation are re-
lied upon to furnish the required
amount of fresh air, the fire marshal
should see that they are kept open for
that purpose, and all windows and
other openings used as intake
should be provided with proper shields
or battle boards to prevent direct
drafts on occupants of room.
'All modern authorities on ventila-
ton agree that the inlet openings
should be near the top of the room, or
at least eight feet above the floor, and
the outlet openings should be at or
near the floor level, and in the oppo-
site end of the room from inlet open
ings Where seats are at different
levels, outlet vents should be divided
and placed at similar levels. Where
fans are used, they should always be
placed in outlet, to draw the foul air
out of the room. Short circuiting of
air currents should be guarded
against

of Husband.

the death of her husband, w. F. Fors-
berg, who was killed in the Santa Fe

backed onto the track where Fors-
berg was working. The whistle was
not blown and the man did not hear
the approach of the engine. The plain
tiff alleges negligence on the part of
an incompetent engineer as a further
cause of action.

perhaps nearer naturalization than at
any previous time. The committee has
been meeting frequently for months
but progress has been slow.
On account of the fact that Topeka
perhaps uses more business college
students than any other city in Kansas
on account of the railroad offices, bust
ness houses, and courts, it is thought a
large college of this nature could be
made to pay. The idea of the commit
tee is to merge the colleges doing bust
ness in Topeka at the present time, il
that be possible.

the hat, for the hat must be taken
off.
The puffed chignon shown in the
picture is woven in long strip like
that used for Transformation" This
strip is drawn together at intervals
leaving quite large spaces on the I'M
der side of the coiffure, which are
covered by the puffs and curls on
the outside. These open spaces afford
ventilation, and they also make 1t
possible to arrange the chignon in a
great variety of styles. What with
them and the hair bands now uni
versally worn there is no end to the
variety of coiffures that fashion maksa
possible.
The chignon placed high on the
head SO that it is in the crown of the
hat solves the problem of the small
turban and makes stately and beau
tiful coiffrre. The puffs are crowded
together a little and pinned down
over coil of the natural hair (or
two coils) placed on top. Usually no
other support is needed for this Golf
fure. In case the natural hair is
very thin small pompadour may be
arranged by using small hair roll
before the chignon is pinned to
place.-Julia Bottomley in the Illus
trated Milliner.
