To take an old buildinjr, deigned as -a warehouse and convert it into a club, is certainly a disgrace. "In our buiding here we have three inclosed fire escapes and two outside escapes beside eight different stairways, but even with such protection there might be danger.

"I shall immediately order that signs be placed in convenient positions "bout the store shewing the direction of the fire escape. This is necessary precaution for often persons, even when they know where the escapes are. forget their location when they become confused. I believe that the exact position of the escapa should be marked red light.

"In hotels, rooming houses, and other dwelling places guets sHould told the exact location of the fire escapes, stairways and other means of escape immediately after registering.

It was not difficult to estimate that the demand of discriminating musicians would exceed the supply of these instruments.
