STORES PROTECT
AGAINST FIRES
Sprinkler System and Safe
guarding Curtains In
stalled BY Merchants
PIPE CONNECTIONS
ON SEVERAL FLOORS

Following an investigation by Will
liam J. Lutz. fire chief. and f.
Morton Ainscow. fire marshal. It
was announced by those officials to-
day that a number OF stores in the
heart OF the business section are not
properly protected from fire hazards.
The report OF the two officials sets
forth: "a recent inspection of F.
w. Woolworths Five and Ten Cent
Stores, revealed the fact that this
store. although not equipped with
sprinkler system. employees very
efficient fire prevention methods in
the handling OF their business at all
times.
This firm used very good judg-
-ment in placing a roll of oilcloth or
waterproof fabric at the end OF each
counter. that can be unrolled and
-cover the counter in case Of fire, thus
preventing damage by water, fall
ing plaster, chemical, etc. II other
firms would employ these same
methods much damage could be
avoided. as IN nearly all buildings
where fire occurs. there IS cOnsid-
cradle water damage.
"The Lippincott store building.
300 Market street. Is equipped with
e a modern sprinkler system. and has
a fire curtain. which is the highest
form OF fire prevention. The recent
. fire at the outlet store displayed
the efficiency Of this sprinkler sys-
tenn and the fire curtain. The fire
curtain prevented fire from enter
ing the Third street end of the Lip
pincott building.
The efficiency of the sprinkler
system and fire curtain is fast be-
ing recognized, and other firms have
installed them recently. Some of
these wide-awake firms are listed
below:
IN. Megary & Sons, Company,
Sixth and Tatnall streets.
"Gawthrop Brothers. Eighth and
Orange streets.
MILLER B.1thers. Ninth and King
streets.
'Kennard Pyle Co., Eighth and
Market streets.
"Crosby e Hill Co., Sixth and
Market streets.
jas. T. Mulnn Co. Sixth and
Market streets.
The stand pipe connections IN
stalled in many OF the larger build !
ings in this city are a great advan- |
tage TO the firemen. as they do
not have 10 drag hose up through the |
various floors to the seat of the fire. |
The hose can be connected TO the |
valve on the floor on which the fire
Is located. and thus a much better
pressure results"

Supt Tobey in this way express
es the purposes of the Music Memory
contest with which children in the
city schools are now so occupied The
contest is progressing most satisfac-
torily and the children are daily hear
ing the presentation of the best Sc
lections of music, by great composers,
that are known.
Mr.. Tobeys statement to The Pilot
came as a result of a recent remark
made by L. /. Cammack, superintend-
ent of schools at Kansas City, Mo.
Mr. Cammack declared that jazz music
has much the same effect upon
young people as liquor. 1T seems to
me, he said, that when it gets into
the blood of some of our young folks,
and ! might add older folks, too, it
serves them just about as good stiff
drink of booze would do. | think the
time has come when teachers should
assume militant attitude toward all
forms of this debasing and degrading
music"

WORD OF DEATH RECEIVED
ON WEDNESDAY BY

Word was received by w. H. Bissell
of this city Wednesday, February 15,
1922, that Charles Edgar, a former
resident of this city, had passed away
at Miami, Florida, early that morning.
He was stricken while in game OF
golf on one of the links of that south
ern resort and died almost instantly.
The body has been shipped to Essex
Falls, n. j., where the family home is
located, it is understood, and where
burial will take place.
About thirty-five years ago Mr. Ed

herman of reputed ability. Soon after

tlemen in 1888 The company, newly
organized in 1892, had for it's officers
Jacob Mortenson, president; f. p.

of lumber and in an article published
In 1900 the following reference was
made to the deceased:

solid and substantial business men OF
Wausau. Progressive, enterprising,
and public spirited. he is striking
representative of the energy and push
which have made Wausau such an en-
ergetic city and have been material
help in Wausau's prosperity and
growth"
In 1901, Mr.. Edgar's health failing
Kim, he found it necessary to retire
from active business and he and his
family moved TO Evanston, Illinois,

Fire broke out in the attic of the
old city hall building, now occupied
by the Marathon Shoe company, last
Friday morning and serious damage to
the upper part OF the building was
done before the flames were under
control. The first alarm was sent in
at seven o'clock by one of the en-

arrived second call was sent in by
Fire Chief Frank Zielsdorf, calling
out three companies Altogether.
It took about an hour and twenty
minutes of hard work to subdue the
flames sufficiently to permit relaxing
the high water pressure. The blaze
was difficult to get at because the
men had to enter the attice through
trap doors and work was hampered
The fire damage was confined to the
