"That building is as sale as it could

a the escape installed. Many per-
sons have in the past had the honest
J opinion that the old time styles of
tire escapes were dangcmus for chil-
dren. This objection cannot be made
against the modern escapes. and I
trust the new movement will auc-
coed."
Father ’1‘. J. Finn, of st. Mary’s also
added his support today to the move-
ment to safeguard the lives of the
children. its stated frankly that at
first he had some serious doubts as
to the necessity and wisdom of the
movement.
"it have watched the method of work
in arousing public attention to this
measure with great interest.“ he said,
"and i am new willing to so plainly on
record as being in sympathy with the
general idea of the plan to insist up-
on giving every possible protaotiou to
