THURSDAY. MARCH 19 10NDITIONSAT 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.

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."

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.
