THE WASHINGTON TBIES. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1913. ""'""
BETTER PROTECTION
Fl
M FIRE FAVORED
BY COMMISSIONERS
Approve Senate Bill to Equip
Warehouses With Windows
That Are Safer.
Declaring that the present law re
garding flre escapes Is not free from
ambiguity and that difficulty is found
'n Its enforcement, the Commissioners
sent to Congress today a favorable re
port on the bill Introduced by Senator
(Jalllnger to amend the act requiring the
erection of lire escapes on certain "build
ings in the District. The bill changes
i he present law in several important
particulars.
It provides for window protection In
fireproof buildings used for warehouses.
s"orage mercantile, or manufacturing
purposes, which the present law does
not require to be so equipped. It sub
stitutes in place of automatic iron shut
ters as protectiok against fln. wire
glam fn fireproof 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
pores above the second floor and for
mercantile or manufacturing purposes
shall be provided with safe and suf
ficient 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 Sen
ate District committee:
"If office buildings are required to be
provided with window protection
against fire, such buildings as are used
for warehouses storage, mercantile.
or manuafcturing purposes should be
likewise so provided. The Commis
sioners bellev that the wire glass In
flreprof 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
tion froimtha requirements of the pro
posed law as to window protection of
the email 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 fireproof regulations in force
at the time of their construction."
Cross to Be Relieved

Commander William K. Cross will
shortly be relieved of duty as com
mandant of the Samoe naval station

lieutenant ana ensign grade and eight
officers of the grade of lieutenant com
mander to relieve officers at Asiatic
stations whose terms expire this year.
The selections will probably be made
during Mar, June, and July. Examina
tions for the promotion to the grade of
lieutenant of ensign of the class of 190S
will be held In April or May. Instead or
July as heretofore. Ensigns on duty at
Asiatic stations will be relieved about

New Mellidd of
Reducing Fat
Good Xevrs From Parts.
A news Item from Paris informs us
that the American method of producing
a slim, trim figure Is meeting with as
tonishing success. This system, which
has made such a wonderful impression
over there, must be the Marmoda Pre
scription Tablet method of reducing
fat.- It is safe to say that we, have
nothing better for this purpose in this
country. Anything that will reduce the
excess flesh a pound a day without in
Jury to the stomach, the causing of
wrinkles, the help of exercising or
dieting, or Interference with one's
meals is a mighty Important and useful
addition to civilization's necessities.
Just such a catalogue of good results,
however, folio the use of these pleas
ant, harmless and economical little fat
reducers. We say economical because
Marmola Prescription Tablets (made in
accordance with the famous prescrip
tion) can be obtained of any druggist or
the makers, the Marmola Co., Farmer
Bldg., Detroit, Mich., for 73 cents the
large case, "which Is a decidedly eco
nomical price considering the number of
tablets each case contains.

EOR COAL DEALINGS
Suits Being Prepared by Depart
partment of Justice Will Be
Filed Soon.
llore suits against nnthraclte-carryinK
railroads are nearly ready to be filed,
according to statement today at the De
partment of Justice, In addition to the
suit entered yertorday at Trenton
against the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad and the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Coal Com
pany. The additional suits will he filed, just
as is the Lackawanna suit, under the
commodities clause of the interstate
commerce act, and the Sherman anti
trust law. The prosecution now begun
of the companies in the alleged coal
trust will be far more reaching than
anything before attempted, according to
attorney a of the department.
The additional suits are being pre
pared by Assistant Attorney General
James C. McReynolds, and they will be
aimed at the coal companies affiliated
with the other coal carrying lines.
The petitions to the Vnited States
court will ask that the roads be en
joined from transporting coal under ex
isting agreements. It is charged that
the coal companies and the railroad
companies In each case are practically
the same organization with common
stockholders. Conspiracy to maintain
the price of coal at a high charge Is
one of tho principal counts of the petitions.
Merriwell Yarns Now
Under Ban at Y. M. C. A.
"The works of- Harry Castleman,
Oliver Optic, Horatio Alger, jr., and the
Frank Merriwell series, and the Elsie
books are not obtainable here."
This sign In the boys' library of the
Y. M C. A. tells of the first effort made
to direct the reading of Its members in
certain channels. "These books have
been barred." says Librarian C. C.
Houghton, "not because they were
necessarily vicious reading, but because
there Is a great treasury of far better
reading."

, The fact that many thousands of these brushes were distributed
during the last sale; AND ONLY SIX SINCE RETURNED, is
significant of the merits of these brushes. Perhaps most significant
is the fact that barbers are coming here in greater numbers.

Barbers knw the merits of Brushes -with bristles that will with
stand wearand tear, and every one needs a brush that will massage
the scalp. Good Tooth Brushes, Nail Brushes, Clothes Brushes
are also scarce enough, even at full prices. Tomorrow's sale will

Performances.
The Palais Royal sale of brushes
is making a record that eclipses',
even the sale of last October, when

rors were sold In about three hours. 1
The managers believe that the sue- f
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 all1
rival opportunities of the kind, but
the fact stands that the present sale
is more overwhelmingly successful.!
