BETTERPROTECT|ON
FROM FIRE FAVORED.
BY COMMISSIONERS
Approve Senate Bill to Equip
Warehouses With Windows
That Are Safer.

Declaring that the present law re-
-arding fire escapes is not free from
ambiguity and that difficulty is found
in its enforcement, the Commissioners
sent to Congress today favorable re-
port on the bill introduced by Senator
Gallinger to amend the act requiring the
erection of fire escapes on certain build
ings in the District. The bill changes
The present law in several important
particulars.
II provides for window protection in
fireproof buildings used for warehouses.
storage mercantile, or manufacturing
purposes, which the present law does
not require to be so equipped. 1t sub
stitutes in place of automatic iron shut
ters as protectioA against fire. wire
glass m freproof sash and frames
Provision is made that this equipment
shall not be required on buildings erect
ed prior to the passage of the bill.
The Commissioners recommend that
The bill be further amended so that
fireproof buildings used for office pur-
poses above the second floor and for
mercantile or manufacturing purposes
shall be provided with safe and suf-
iicient means of exit "of such dimen-
sions, character, and number as the
Commissioners may require
The following arguments in favor of
the proposed legislation, are presented
by the Commissioners in a letter to
Senator Gallinger chairman of the Sem
ate District committee:
III office buildings are required to be
provided with window protection
against fire, such buildings as are used
for warehouses. storage, mercantile.
or manufacturing purposes should be
likewise so provided. The Commits
sioners believ that the wire glass in
Sreprof sash and frames is preferable
to the automatic iron shutter, as the
latter. being automatic, cannot be de-
pended upon to operate when necessary.
Other shutters are objectionable be-
cause they depend for effectiveness
upon fallible human agency.
The Commissioners favor the exemp-
ton from the requirements of the pro-
posed law as to window protection of
the small number of fireproof buildings
now in existence. Some of these were
erected prior to the enactment of fire.
escape laws. and others in compliance
with the flreproof regulations in force
at the time of their construction" 9

The arbitration treaty between the

SALE OF BRUSHES.
Palais Royal Makes q Record
That Eclipses Past
Perfofmances.

The Palais Royal sale Of brushes
is making a record that eclfpses
even the sale of last October. when
more than 1000 brushes and mir
rors were sold in about three hours.
The managers believe that the sue
cess of the present sale Is due to
the genuineness of the bargains Of
fered on similar occasions. It was
supposed that the sale held before
Christmas would outdistance all
rival opportunities of the kind, but
the fact stands that the present sale
is more overwhelmingly successful
than any other special brush sale
in the history of the store.
None but the best brushes with
short. medium, and long bristles. 1t
is explained, are on sale. All are
guaranteed. Not one brush. II Is
claimed, has defective bristles. and
each Is a hogs bristle and not q
fiber makeshift.
Hand and tooth brushes at the
present sale are simply a matter of
: a few pennies. The hand glasses
are best French plate glass mirrors,
with beveled edges. with frame and
handles of rosewood. olivewood, and
ebony.-The Evening Star.
