cautions are being taken against fire.
and that fire drills should be held in
schools and other buildings. The mat
ter was referred to the committee on
public order.
The board appropriated $50 to send a
delegate to represent the District at the
annual convention of the American
Road Builders Association in Cincinnati,
Ohio, December 3 to 8. letter re-
uuesting the Board of Trade to invite
TIE National woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union to hold its 1913 conven-
ton in this city was read. The board
decided to issue the invitation. A letter
from the Spokane Chamber of Commerce
requesting the board to favor changing
the name of the Panama canal to
American canal was laid on the table.

STUDYING Effect of Exercise.

A serious attempt to investigate
what may be called the hygiene of
sport Is about to be made in Berlin.
To carry out the objects in view a
sport laboratory Is to be established
and placed under the charge of the
Charlottenbnrg municipal authorities.
The idea had its origin In a depart
ment of the hygiene exhibition held
recently at Dresden, In which every
thing that could throw light on the
influence of sports and gymnastic ex-
ercises on the human organism was
brought together. Special attention
was paid to bodily measurements
arising under different conditions and
from different muscular exercises, and
particular observation was directed to
the good and harmful effects of the
several sports and gymnastics on the
human body and its members. One
of the chief objects Of the new labora-
tory will be the observation OF all that
possibly affects school children In ~
spect of food and physical exercises.
