intake with all due allowances, 53 ruble feet per pupil; kindergarten AVt cubic feet per pupil; ftom In the new section 40 cubic feet per pupil; No. 1. 33 cubic feet per pupil; No. 2, 30 cubic feet per pupil. The lime water test In one of the rooms showed the klr slightly foul. At the Whitewater bulldinK a high temperature In all of the rooms was found and It was shown that It was necessary to open the doors and windows to cool the rooms on. The trouble wss said to be due to a nonmanipulation of the thermostats. A nufTW-iciit quantity of fresh air was found to be entering oe h room. The light spare in the kindergarten was found deficient. Hut one room was found at the Vaile school which was receiving the minimum requirement of frctm air. The rooms below the standard were No. 3, 18 cubic feet kt pupil; No. X. 27 cubic feet; No. 5. 28 cubic feet; and the building as a whole, 23 cubic feet. The toilets were In good condition. The foul air in the Whitewater and Vallo buildings is emptied Into the attics where gravity ventilators afford the only avenue for escape. However At the Vaile building u part of the foul nlr empties Into an outside duct. Dr. King said that personally ho was not In favor of having the air disposed of In this manner and thut lie did not believe the ventilators were sufficient for Its escape. He will probably recommend more ventilators or an exhaust fan nt each building.

JANITORS NEGLIGENT.

Investigation Yesterday Afternoon ' Tended to Prove This Is the Cass. AxslKtant State Health CommluHionrr. W. F. King's investigation of the Warner nnd Stnrr school buildings yesterday afternoon following the inspection of the high school In the morning tended to show thnt carelessness n the part of the janitors was responsible for miHutUfactory ventilation at Hie Warner school and for unsanitary conditions tn the boys' toilet at the Warner and Starr schools. The foul air ducts of a former system at tho Warner building which proved to bo of far more value In drawing the foul air frcni the rooms than the smaller ducts Installed for the present system, were found by the inspec

tor to bo closed In every room in the 1

building. Tho ducts which were opti proved to bo small and when tested with the air meter showed in some cases to bo practically valueless and In others to be working poorly. The condition of all of the old ducts, particularly one which wus so clogged u; with dirt as to make It Impossible for It to bo opened, showed clearly that they have been kept closed for non-.o time. All of the tecc'ters professed entire Ignorance regarding the ducts and the Janitor. W. II. J. Gordon, when questioned, declared that he had been In the habit every morning of opening them. He seemed to be surprised when told that they were all clone! nnd protested vigorously against Btatemcnta that they must have been in that condition for months. In Bad Condition. The urinals in the hoys' tolloU In the Warner building and particularly In the Starr school proved to be In a bad condition in that they did not Hush. A. W. Dlngley, head Janitor of the school system, declared that no report regarding their condition had been made by the Janitor. A sllcht leakage In both Instances provided ihe only water for cleaning the urinals. Walter Alexander, janitor of the Starr school, told Dr. King when the lavatory was first entered the urinals flush rd automatically and that ho had seen them do so in the morning. Investigation showed that the condition

of tho water tanks maie it Impossible for them to flush. When shown that the urinals did not flush the Janitor said: "Well, I can t help that." It was stated by two of the teachers of the Starr school that they navo noticed odors arising from the toilets and that they have reported the matter to the school board. One of the teachers said that the odor had penetrated her class room. She said it defended on the course of the wind whether the smell was made perceptible. Tho odor of the boys' lavatory wa3 almost nauseating, and It could readily be seen how such a strong bniell could permeats other parts of the building. Decomposition of amonia irnde possible by the fact that the urinals did not flush was ascribed an the cause for the odor by Dr. King. No other jxHKlble cause could be discerned. The closets were all In good working order. Dr. King told Janitor Alexander and also Janitor Gordon at the Warner school to Fee that the urinal water tanks were placed in a condition 6o that they would flush. The Janitor of the Starr schol said the space about the urinals wa3 scrubbed twice a day and that lye was placed about them once a week. Was Not Enough Air. The air meter test in one of the room in the Starr building disclosed the fitet that eacli pupil was receiving but 20 cubic let l of frech air per minute, 10 cubic feet less than the standand. An application of the iime water test showed the air in the room to be bad. Kighteen Injections of air from the room into the lime water caused a murkiness which twenty-six injections of average out-of-dtxjr air are required to produce. An odor in the room was very perceptible. Two class rooms in the Starr building tested with the air meter proved to bo receiving a sufficient quantity of air. In fact a couple of the rooms were shown to be receiving far more fresh air than was necessary. This was said to be due to the fact that the proper regulation had not been secured. In two of the rooms of the Warner building a heaviness of the air was very noticeable despite the fact that the air meter test had shown that plenty of fresh air was entering the rooms. This condition was said by one of the teachers, to be due to the pupils, some of whom did not receive the proper attention at home and came to school in not the most cleanly condition. The fact that the old foul air dicts in the rooms were closed and that the ducts installed for the new system were drawing very siightly making the doors, which the teachers said were generally kept open, the only principal avenue for the foul air to escape, also probably had something to do with the heaviness of the air. Closed Air Ducts. The teachers were closely questioned regarding the closed air ducts by Dr. King. All of those with whom he talked said they had not noticed the doors were closed, and declared they knew nothing of them whatever. Dr. King told them that they should at least know tho importance of this feature of the ventilating system and should take particular care in seeing that they are kept open. lie recommended that they b? more observing In the future.

One teacher dcclal the school to! be In her opinion well taken care of. j Another teacher said she noticed at

times a plight odor in her room. The others said they noticed no odors of any kind. No sponges and slates were used, they said. Every teacher said they raised the windows when needed and that there were no orders to the contrary. They said there had been no special cleaning up during the last week. The supply of fresh air was entirely sufficient and in some cases far more than necessary. The record for the various rooms was GO cubic feet per

pupil per minute, 51 cubic feet per pupil per minute, and 70 cubic feet per minute per pupil. Go Through Fire Drill. The fire drill was gone through for the benefit of Dr. King, the school being emptied in icss than two minutes. An investigation of the toilets disclosed no faults other than the nonflushing of the urinals. The teachers said there were some of the pupils who had individual drinking cups, but that the most of them drank from the cups provided or used the water outside the" building with no cups. The janitor was found sweeping the hall at the Starr building during the last hour of school. A dust was noticeable. One of the teachers said that the janitor was in the habit of diing this regularly and said that it was

necessary in order for him to do all the work. The plan was condemned by Dr. King. He will probably recommend that if the janitor cannot do the work and sweep at the close of school tl'.at he be given assistance. Two ttacheis said they had noticed the odor of toilets and that they reported it to members of the school board, one to Supt. Mott and the other to Dr. Johnston. They said they had no knowledge of any other unsanitary conditions and that they had reported no other matters. They said no other odors were perceptible at any time. One of them declared she thought the trouble was due to the work of the jani-

Itor. It was stated that the windows

were raised at times when needed; that there had been no special cleaning up of late during the last two weeks; and that to the best of the informer's opinion the foul or fresh air ducts had never been closed. One of the teachers said that any pupil on the second floor where the 6anltary drinking fountain is maintained was large enough to reach it. Cups are used in other portions of the building. The air test in two rooms showed that one was receiving 34 cubic feet of fresh air per minute per pupil and the other a total of 31, 100 cubic feet per minute, both above the minimum requirement.

(American News Service) St. Louis. March 1. The police today are going over the city and county of St. Louis with a fine tooth comb in an effort to find a trace of two masked

bandits who held up and robbed an Iron Mountain train within the city limits late last night. : It is believed the robbers obtained a large sum of money from the exI press car. from which they took sev

eral parcels and the money box, after binding and gagging the messenger, H. H. McRobbins. The bandits boarded the train at Ivory, in the southern part of the city, the first stop inside the city limits. One of the men thrust open the door of the express car and confronted the messenger with a revolver. The other followed him and rifled the contents of the car after binding McRobbins. When the train slowed up at the Tower Grove station they leaped off. The robbery was reported when the train reached Union station and a hundred or more policemen and detectives rushed to the Tower Grove station to search for the robbers.
