THE OAVIDSON
ARE PROBED
School Trustees pf Third Ward.
After Investiqation Today,
Recommend Fire Escape. Do
Not Aqree With Mr. P. S.
North. However, in That the
School is a Menace to Its
Puoils
The itirvbm of the Board of Edu
ji'utlon from the Third Ward, consist
ing of Messrs. Charles F. Baker. Char
les E. Whitney and J. A. A. W. Clark,
visited the Davidson Grammar School
this morning, according to a request
made of them at the last meeting of
the Board of Education.
The purpose of their visit was to
discover If there was any danger to
the life of the children of that school,
in case of fire or panic. They spent
an hour in thorough inspection of the
building in every particular.
It will he recalled that on last Sun
day the Hernld published a statement
of Mr. P. S. North, a school trustee
from the second ward, in which he
declared the conditions, as exist at the
Davidson school, a frame building,
menacing to the lives of the several
hundred pupils who are housed in this
structure five hours n day for five
days of ttie week. At the same time
n statement from Superintendent Ev
ans was also printed.
The Investigation by the trustees of
the ward today comes as a result of
attention being called to the matter
I y Mr. North at the meeting of the
1 card of education last Saturday.
The trustees report that they found
the boiler, which supplies steam heat
to the building, in the rear of the
building and not immediately under
any school room. The report further
says:
"Tlie boiler room is a brick pit lined
throughout with steel and corrugated
iron with complete asbestps insula
tion. There is no exposed wood work
in the boiler room. The boiler gener
ally carries two or three pounds of
steam and the janitor is in and out
constantly during school hdurs. There
seems but little likelihood of a fire
beyond control in the boiler room.
Mr. Sanford, the principal, reports
constant fire drills during the term,
and that the children understand seve
inl ways of getting out of the building.
Tile superintendent gave a test recent
ly, emptying the school rooms in two
minutes. Chief Reynolds also gave a
test when all the children were up
stairs in the assembly hall and the
bulling was emptied in three min
r. in neither instance was any
body expecting a fire drill. The trus
tees themselves tested the fire alarm,
finding five stations at various points
in the building. At the pressing of
the buttori the gong sounded, the chil
dren rose immedit *ely, leaving hooks
and hats and marched out in perfect

LESSON IT.—PART 11.
WRINKLES AND FACIAL MASSAGE.
Mum(« Cream.
A massage cream ia often spoken of
aa a “akin food." which ia a good name
for It. In appearance maaaage cream
ia much like an ordinary cold cream,
except that it ia generally a Jittle
stiffer, but it contains a fat or com
bination of fata that la capable of be
ing absorbed by the akin. In other
words, it feeds the skin as well as
lubricates it.
Before beginning your massage
movements, take what cream you need
out of the Jar and put it on a clean
plate. The habit or leaving the jar
uncovered and constantly putting the
fingers in it la uncleanly and not good
for the cream. If the massage cream
Is too thick to glide smoothly over
the face, place a little of It in the
palm of the left band and work It soft
with the fingers of the other hand.
Massage Movements.
No. 1. Begin the massage move
ments with the forehead. Dip the
tips of the fingers of both hands in the
cream and place them In the center of
the forehead, back to back and almost
touching. Then move the two hands
up and down, keeping them parallel,
but moving in alternate directions,
moving them gradually over the fore
head and towards the temples. Fin
ish with an upward movement at the
hair line Repeat this movement, gen
tlv and slowly, ten times.
No. 2. Moisten the second finger of
each hand with the ereara and place
it over the eyeball close to the bridge
of the nose. Now with a very gentle
movement encircle the eye socket. Work
in a. much massage cream as pos
sible. hut make the movement light
and take care net to allow the fingers
to rest on the eyeball. Do this eight
to ten times.
No. 8. This movement Is to eradi
cate the fan of small lines that Is apt
to radiate from tbs corners of the
eyes. Both hands are necessary for
this movement and we will begin with
the left side. Plaee the second and
third fingers of the left hand on each
eide of the eyeball socket, slightly
Stretching the skin at the corner of
the ore Dip the third finger of the
right hand In the cream and. with a
gentle, rotary movement, smooth out
the fine lines between the open fingers.
Continue this until plenty of cream has
been absorbed and repeat on the right
Notei These movements to be con
tinued in next article and should be
read carefully for full Instructions on
the subject.
order, emptying the building In a min
ute unit a quarter.
"So far as *xlts are concerned, there
are two ample staircuses leading from
the upper floor, and five exits on the
first floor with all doora opening out
ward.
"While the truateea do not think that
there Is the slightest danger of any
child being caught in the building in
ease of fire or panic, yet as an addi
tional precaution in case the achool Is
massed In the assembly hall or the hall
Itself Is crowded during an entertain
ment and n fire should occur, they
think it would he advisable to build
a fire escape leading from the assem
bly hall to the yard on the west side
of the building. This will provide three
ample And distributed exits from the
second floor, thereby making It very
unlikely that anybody should he
caught, even under the most unfavor
able condltolns."
NINTH INFANTRY OFF.
Littls Rock, Ark. —Four company

Students Riot.
Versailles, France. —Police detach
ments dispersed with great difficulty
today several hundred students who
paraded the streets demonstrating
against Deputy Amedee Thalamag,
who had written a letter of congratu
lation to Madame Caillux for killing
Gaston Calmette.
The students gathered in front of
the deputy's residence shouting "as
sassin" and cheering for Calmette.
96.000 JOBLESS IN N. Y.
New York.—Ninety-six thousand
men are out of work in New York
City, according to reports made to
Mayor Mltchel by the police captains
of every precinct in the five boroughs.
A large share of these are said to be
seasonal workers and the statements
also include men employed at the
transient trades. The report is held
to contradict some statements that
have placed the number of unemploy
ed here as high as 300,000.
A Shameful Affront.
We notice in yesterday’s pictures
that King George didn't wear his crown
to the ball game. This shows a singu
lar lack of courtesy. Inasmuch as all
the American ball players present wore
the court costume of knickerbockers.
Suppose That Man Was a Tango
Teacher.
Federal judge says he can't see how
a man's leg CHn he worth more than
$5,000. With all due respect we sub
mit that the value of the leg varies
with the value of the man.

Mrs. Nellie Whitaker Wants
Damages on Account of the
Death of Her Husband Near
Norrell’s Last November.
Still lias heon filed by Mr*. Nellie
Whitaker, through attorneys E. R.
Hill and'Sidney Smith, Kata., va. the
Georgia Railroad und Banking Com
pany for *75.000, on account of the
killing of plaintiff's husband, who met
death on the Georgia Railroad on Nov.
Bth last near Nofrell'a station, a few
mile* from Augusta. It will lie re
called that Mr. Bouts W. Whitaker, a
farmer living near Harlem, was the
victim and he was en route home on
the picayune at the time lie fell off
the train, or ulightod from it, at Nor
rell'a station. According to the re
porta current at the time, Whitaker
was drinking and got off the train at
Norrell's and the presumption was that
he went to sleep on the track and was
mangled by passing trains.
However, such is not the case, ac •
cording to Ilia petition for damage*
filed today. The plaintiff alleges that
her husband was crossing the platform
between two passenger coaches and
was thrown off the train at Norrell's
by "an unusual, violent and unneces
sary Jerk of the train."
It Is alleged that he was badly in
jured at the time and In a half con
scious manner got up, after the train
had left him In an almost helpless
condition, and went up the track In
the direction of Harlem; that he_ was
run over by extra freight train No. 24
and dragged some distance and that
his body was also run over by pas
senger iraln No. 28.
Tlie petition alleges that the trains
which passed over Whitaker’s body
were not equipped with electric head
lights, as required by the laws of
Georgia. The»ease will be tried In the
city court.
Suit has also been filed by Messrs.
Hill and Smith vs. the Bouiavllie and
