OPERA HOUSE SAFE
Extra Precautions to
Make It So

AvAASAAS - Nv
Company Placing All. Wiring inlSteeI
conduits-Fire Extinouishers Dou-.
bIed-A 4,jneh Water Main With
!. No, Other Connections, for Opera
House Use
The owners and operators of the
Augusta Opera House Company in
this city, realizing the great interest
manifested by the people on account
of the recent serious fires in opera
and picture houses in various parts
of the country, have given the sub
ject of fire protection a considerable
amount of consideration, and as a
result have adopted a plan which is
in process of carrying out, to put the
Augusta Opera House in as safe a
condition to avoid fires and to pre-
vent confusion in case of one, as any
house in the country.
Among the improvements now I'M
der way and soon to he completed, is
the placing of all electric wiring in
steel conduits, so there will be no OPP
portunity for anybody to make at
tachments that would not be safe.
Barrels of water and fire buckets are
on the stage. and also line of hose
from a water pipe running direct
from the city main. Also a barrel of
water with fire buckets located near
the booth, where more or less danger
lies. The number of fire extinguish-
ers have been nearly doubled, placed
around in handy localities in differ
ont parts of the house and on the
stage. Also a 4-inch water main
without any other connections, has
been laid from Winthrop Street main
into the rear of the Opera House, and
carried in pipe up to the box on the
west side of the hall, where two con-
rections are made with pressure of
$50 lbs. to the square inch. These
connections are supplied with two
lines of hose. all attached and ready
for instant use, and can be used
either in the rear of the stage or in
front, as the occasion might require.
During all performances on the
stage, a care-taker will be in charge
of these lines of fire hose, ready for
instant action.
A new fire escape to facilitate a
quick exit from the main floor is be-
ing built on the Market Square side
Of the building, which will be an adj
ditional outlet to the present large
stairways. There is already an exit
and fire escape out onto the roof of
the Soule Building, so called, which
will amply accommodate people sit
ting in the galleries. On the south
side Of the building next Maine Gen.
trail station is a large door opening
directly onto the stage. A steel plat
form has just been installed, which is
reached by a permanent iron ladder
for the use of firemen in case of the
necessity arising.
A two-way hydrant is very near,
and it is proposed to install at once
a fire alarm in the entry way on
Water Street to the second story of
the building, so that the entire build
ing will be in quick and immediate
communication with the City Fire
Department at the head Of Rines Hill.
1t is believed that when these
things are done that there will be no
safer public meeting place in Maine
than this one, and the owners feel
that the public ought to be given this
information so they will understand
the situation.

AMERICAN TOURIST
. LEARNS ECONOMY
Present Day Traveller Is Not

Abroad.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, August 12.- England's
shopkeepers, hotel and restaurant pro-
prietors and headwaiters say this years
American tourist crop is not Of the
munifcent pre-war variety. OF the per-
sons and enterprises that usually wax
fat on tourist rushes, the steamship
companies are the only ones which have
no complaint, for as yet there is no
steamship sumstitute for transatlantic
travel, and they have seldom, If ever,
eclipsed this years business.
p But once landed on English soil, this
years tourist has comported himself
quite differently from the old timer
who made the American traveller known
for his lavish tips, reckless buying of
jewels and clothing and indiscriminate
purchases of "curios." genuine or other
wise. Instead of buying trunkfuls Of
apparel here. the 1922 tourist is bringing
plenty Of clothing along and doing his
