STATE-WAR-NAVY BUILDING
HAS NEW FIRE PROTECTION
Col. w. W. Harts Installs Alarm
Boxes, Hose and Extinguishers.
Watchmen Are Drilled.

For the better protection from fire
of the many valuable records and state
papers in the archives of the State,
War and Navy departments, Col W. w.
Harris, the engineer officer in charge
of the big granite building in which
the three departments are located. has
introduced an entirely new fire system
Fire alarm boxes of the latest ap-
proved design have been installed in
easily accessible positions in the cor
ridors on every floor, and fire extin-
Suishers are literally distributed, in
addition to which fire hose have been
permanently attached to water pipes
and arranged on shelves, so that they
can be easily unrolled and extended
into any of the rooms nearby.
All the members of the watch force
and even the elevator conductors have
been thoroughly drilled in modern fire
tactics so that each will have his par
ticular station and know exactly what
he is expected to do in case of an
alarm of fire. Primarily the watchmen n
VIII direct their energies to the sup
preston of the fire and to the protec-
tion of the official records and the ele-
vator men are trained TO operate their
cars so as to expedite the escape of
the employees in case the fire should
assume dangerous proportions.

Departments administration of national

Departments administration OF national
parks and reservations.
Public recreation, thus broadly con-
ceived. embraces the use of all sorts
in the crowded city to the Big out
doors as you ind It in the Yellow
stone wonderland, the enchantingly
beautiful Yosemite or the high snow
fields Of Mount Rainier. The play
ground movement brought in q larger
idea of the human service which city
parks and recreation areas can render
to the masses of city dwellers. Similar
ly the new era which Is now dawntng
in our national parks is to develop
this vision has been chosen by Score
tary Lane to give 1t reality. Like Mr..
Kent, he Is also a successful business
man, whose loyalty Is to both chicago
and california-stephen T. Mather.
Chicago knows Mr.. Mather in many
lines of civic effort as q worker who
wants to accomplish results and cares
nothing about being a f1gurehead- He
has been mainstay in the Municipal
Voters League and the City Club. and
he conceived and helped to build a
neighborhood center for social service
back of the stockyards.
Mr.. Mather has long been associated
with those who seek out the best that
America. Few members of the Sierra
Club find as much enjoyment in it's an
nual mountain campaign trips as he.
And this means that his spirit Is one
with that which stirs the Appalachian
Club in the east, the Prairie Club in
Chicago, the Wanderlusters of Wash
ington, and all who venture up noun
tain slopes or down wilderness rivers,
who wander along the rushing waters
and quiet pools of trout streams, who
find contentment in peaceful hills and
valleys.
"To lead his countrymen to a larger
parks and to make the enjoyment of
them possible for all, for people of
slender means as well as the better-to-
do, is the work which Mr.. Mather has
undertaken"

D. G. PFEIFFER HEADS
A new PIANO COMPANY
Organization Bears His Name and e
Located at No. 1919
g Street.

D. G. Pfeiffer, who has been promi-
nent in the piano trade in this city for
more than twenty-five years. the last
eight of which he has been vice presi-
dent of the W. F. Frederick Plano Com
pany, announces the organization Of
the D. G. Pfeiffer Piano Company. It
has bought the older house and is To-
Gated at 1912 G street. Mr.. Pfeiffer is
an accomplished musician and an ex-
pert in the practical end Of the busi-
ness. He is remembered for his ap-
pearances on the concert platform as
a pianist. which he has had to discon-
tfnue because of growing business de-
mands.,
Mr.. Pfeiffer's serious study of the
pfanoforte in the development of tone
production was recognized several
years ago. when he was called upon to
serve as a member of the jury of
awards on pianos at the cantonial ex-
position at Zurich, Switzerland. He
spent much time in the pursuit of this
work In various large piano factories
abroad. Mr.. Pfeiffer was for many
years director of the board of the
Choral Society in this city; founder
of the Musical Art Society, secretary
of the National Association of Piano
Merchants of America and is now a
member of the National Press Club.
Associated With New York Company
In the formation of the new concern
Mr.. Pfeiffer regards himself as fortu-
nate in having associated with him the
piano manufacturing house of Hard
man. Peck & Co. of New York. both on
account of the prestige of that insti-
tuition and because of the financial
power which it brings.
In joining with Mr.. Pfeiffer in estab
fishing this new concern the Hardman
house is practically opening a branch
in Washington, and in naming Mr..
Pfeiffer as president of the company is
comforting what is regarded as a well
earned honor to one who has spent
many years in serving the public in
this city.
In addition to the Hardman and Har-
rington pianos, the Autotone and
Playotone player-pianos. the new con-
cern will handle the Victor Victrola
and Victor records.

THINKS AVERAGE CITIZEN
CAN'T NAME j. S. PARKS
Writer in the Survey Believes, How
ever, Larger Popular knowledge
Will Date From 1915.
Graham Romeyn Taylor Praises Rep
resentative Kent for Efforts in
Behalf Of National Fairgrounds.

1T is doubtful II as many as fve
in a thousand Americans can even
name the fourteen national parks.
This statement is made by Graham
Romeyn Taylor in an article dealing
with national parks and their needs
published today in the Survey.
Mr.. Taylor expresses the belief. how
ever. that during the past summer
with Europe closed during alterca-
tions' as a cartoonist put it, and with
the Pacific coast expositions drawing
people west, there were many more
visitors to the parks than ever before"
He also expresses the hope that the
larger popular knowledge and use or
the parks will date from 1915. The
article says, in part:
Each Has Characteristic Scenery.
Each of the principal parks presents
characteristic scenery which Is not to
be found at all or at least not so pre-
eminently in any other park. The
Yellowstone, of course, is distinguished
for it's geysers. boiling springs and vol
canoes and other strange manifesto
tions of nature; Mount Rainier for it's
great dominating mountain peak whose
shoulders glisten with the greatest
one-mountain glacier system so far
discovered; Sequoia and Gen. Grant
parks for their giant trees; Yosemite

ITO many it may be news that there
is Wind Cave National Park in South
Dakota, Platt National Park in Okla
home and Sullys Hill National Park in
in Arkansas are a national reservation.
There are also the thirty national
monuments" eighteen administered by
the Interior Department, ten by the
Department of Agriculture and two by
the War Department. These include
the Grand Canyon and the petriffed
forest in Arizona, the Muir woods,
Mount Olympus in Washington, and
Lassen peak in California. 1t is ex-
pected that this year will see the pas
sage of the bill to make the Grand
Canyon a national park. Doubtless
there are other monuments which
ought to be classed as parks and some
parks which ought to be classed as
The national park service Is not well
organized. Each park was created by
separate law. While all these laws
authorize the Secretary of the Interior
to provide regulations for the govern

Public Spirit Of Mr.. Kent.

Concerning what has been done by
Representative Kent of California in
behalf of more and better parks in the
country, Mr.. Taylor says:
From Chicago's crowded nineteenth
ward to the wooded slopes of Mount
Tamalpais. across the bay from San
Francisco, seems a far cry. But 1t so
happens that the same man who gave
the land for the first small playground
for Chicago's tenement children also
gave the magnificent Muir woods to the
people of the United States. These
two public-spirited gifts of William
Kent formerly citizen of Chicago and
now representative from California,
typify the range of our public recrea-
tion facilities. For while the Muir
woods are not classified as national
park, they are included in the Interior
