BUS VENTILATION
ORDERED CHECKED
Number Complain Vehicles
Have Been Stuffy or
Over-Heated.

Protests that some of the buses op-
Grated by the Capital Transit Co. have
been overheated or stuffy in recent
weeks moved the Public Utilities Com
mission yesterday to act to obtain bet
ter operation of the newly installed
ventilating equipment.
While comparatively small num-
Der of protests have been sent to the
commission In writing, members OF
its staff found that the best use was
not being made of the ventilating and
heating facilities.
While convinced that q vast I'M
provement has been made, due to
the commission order for installation
Of the ventilating systems, the COM
mission reminded the company to in
struct bus operators to make use of
the ventilating and heat regulators
to assure better operation.
As a check of the effectiveness of
the commissions order, Health Officer
George c. Ruhland yesterday was re-
quested to have a member of his staff
make a technical test of the air in
busses to determine the amount of
carbon monoxide present.
Commission Chairman Riley E.
Elgen announced third step would
be to direct the transit company to
keep out of congested downtown areas
those buses which were not required
to be equipped with the ventilating
facilities.
Only those buses having new venti-
lating equipment should be used in
the downtown areas, he said, since the
air becomes stuffy quicker in busses
when moving at slow speeds.
The company has approximately 127
buses which were not required to be
equipped with the ventilating units
These either were intended to be re-
stricted to suburban operations or were
held to be 50 old and leaky that yenti-
lating installations would not be worth
the cost.
All told, the company now has SIS
busses. AL new busses acquired by the
company must be equipped with
ventilating equipment capable of pro-
viding 10 cubic feet of fresh air per
seat per minute, a standard which the
commission believed would provide as
surance against noxious odors or even
bad air.
James L. Martin, commission secre-
tary, revealed yesterday he had re-
ceived about half dozen letters COM
planning of bus ventilation since
October 81, when most of the busses
were equipped with the new facilities.

CHECK ROOM"

"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
when entertaining q number
Of ladies at luncheon and bridge
in a private dining room Of one
Of the clubs, just what Is done, or
how is It done, in regard to check
ing the guests coats and hats?
"When the hostess meets her
guests In the ladies' parlOr. does
she have their wraps checked in
the check room which adjOins the
ladies' parlor, or do the hostess
and her guests wear their hats
and coats to the private room?
"DOes the hostess remove her
hat and should the guests remove
theirs IsO? Or are hats worn by
all du ing the luncheon and card
party? MAY"
Usually, just outside such rooms
there is a room for the checking
of wraps, and, If there is not, the
wraps may be checked in the coat
room connected with the main
dining room.
This depends, as I said in the
first answer, in the arrangements
in hotels. 1t sounds, from your
suggestions, as If it would be more
convenient to check the wraps
in the check room adjoining the
ladies' parlor.
It is better form for all of the
ladies. including the hostess, to
wear their hats during luncheon
and the party following.

A Matter Of Pluck!


When you're lost in the wild,
And you're scared as child,
And Death looks you bang in the eye;
And you're sore as boil, it's according to Hoyle,
TO cock your revolver and die.
But the code of man
Says fight all you can,
And self -disillusion is barred
In hunger and woe it's easy to blow,
It's keeping your chin up that's hard.
It's easy to cry you're beaten and die
It's easy to crawfish and crawl,
But to fight and to fight,
When hopes OFT of sight,
That's the very best game Of them all.
Although you come out
Of each gruelling bout
Ali beaten and battered and SCARED,
Just have one more try, it's easy to die
It's the keeping on living that's hard.

Fire Prevention !!

Inspection of homes and busi- ness establishments in Nome, dur ing the city Fire Prevention Cam paign, started promptly Tuesday, continued Wednesday,, and is un- der way with dispatch today through the observation of Chief w. w. Laws, of the Nome Fire Department.
 The Chief is visiting every building in the city to examine heating units, appliances, and al so to investigate other fire haz- ards which may be present.
 A full report is to be filled out and returned to the city con- corning observations made.
 The theory o1 the campaign is to enlist the cooperation of every one in bringing to notice the pres ence of any fire hazards within the city, so that they may be immed- lately corrected.
 It has been heard that one or two persons have become hard boiled" when told to correct the hazards in their own homes. It goes without saying that the city government is determined to make the city of Nome as free from fires as is possible under the law. So, those who don't think they can be forced to correct de- fective heating plants, etc., will be sadly mistaken if they be- come too stubborn-they are apt to be hailed into court and made to effect safety in their homes from fire, at their own expense, and for their own benefit, and their neighbors' as well.
