In regard TO the inspection of theaters.
hotels, apartment houses. and CONNER
cial establishments.
The Electrical Department was like
wise under Mr.. Macfarlands superyi-
sion. and he used 1t as an auxiliary TO
the Fire Department in the work of
inspection. Commissioner Macfarland
has many times expressed his salts
faction with the accomplishment Of the
Electrical Department in this connection.
Remarkable progress has been made IN
the direction of inspecting electrical
wiring Five years ago many Of the
prominent hotels. commercial establish
ments. and other buildings, had wiring
systems which were completely out of
date and were dangerous to the safety
of the buildings. A great deal has been
done to secure improvements in the cleo
trical wiring in theaters, hotels, stores.
and other constructions. The act of
Congress which went into effect In
SepteIsber. 1904. greatly increased the
powers of the Commissioners in this di-
rection, and there has from that time
been a most remarkable Improvement in
the electrical wiring throughout Wash
ington. The new wiring work has been
of the highest standard.

been detailed to help the two inspectors
on some particular building
Commissioner Macfarland has had the
cooperation of the fire underwriters Of
the District Of Columbia. The insPec-
ton reports OF the fire underwriters
have been placed at Mr.. Macfarland's s
disposal. and whenever they show ad-
ditionaI information. or disclose improper
conditions, the attention Of the Fire
Marshal is called to the particular cir
cumstance.
During the month Of June, 1909, the
Fire Marshal and his assistant made
over 500 inspections Of commercial es-
tablishments alone, not to speak Of sew
eral hundred examinations made Of
private residences, hotels, apartment
houses. etc.
It can easily be seen from the fore
going figures that the work of inspec-
ton is one of the most important func-
items of the Fire Department, and no.

prounced a grand success.
IF the large crowd which went with
the band down the river on its excur-
sion yesterday afternoon can be taken
as a criterion of general interest. its
future standing Is well established
The services of the band have already
been engaged for number of occa-
sions. On August 1S, it will go to Har-
risonburg, Va, with the Alexandria Re
lief and Reliance Fire Company.
The committee selected from members
Of the band who had yesterdays func-
tions in hand, were Fred Brennan, Stew
art Manchester, Charles Stanley. and
Robert Cowan. An elaborate musical
program was given at the resort. After
the concert dancing was enjoyed.
The band will give a number of open
air concerts for the benefit OF the resi-
dents OF the navy yard district. These
concerts will be given both in the navy

DISTRICT DEPARTMENT WORK

The Fire Department of the District
OF Columbia is a very strong believer
II, the old pr0verb. An ounce Of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure" Per
haps there are few cities in the United
States whose inspection service is as
thorough as that conducted under the
direction of the Fire Marshal for the
District of Columbia. Once a year, at
least, every theater. hotel, apartment
house, and mercantile establishment is
subjected TO a complete inspection, and
a large number of the residence houses
are likewise examined
Anticipating Trouble
This work of the Fire Department is
not generally understood and appreci-
ated by the public. When a fire occurs
in some big establishment, hotel, or
theater, and quick work is done, the
entire credit attaches to the rapid and
heroic work of the firemen 1t is lit
tie thought that arrangements were
long ago made to meet just such an
occasion. and that the effective work
o. the Fire Department during the fire
was made possible by inspection and
forethought
In fact, many fire fights were fought
out long before in the minds of the fire
men, and their effective work merely
the application of knowledge gained be-
forehand. When a fire breaks out anu
the ffrefighte~s rush to the scene of ac-
ton, they are in possession of informa-
ton, by means of inspection reports
which enables them to go to work at
once with accuracy and skill In short
the ounce of prevention acts as Il
foundation upon which 10 apply the

DIFFICULT TO COUNT
ON AUGUST. WEATHER
Average Temperature Shown by Official Records Has
Varied From y to 80 Degrees-August 49, 1884,
the Hottest Day.

An examination of the official records
Of the United States Weather Bureau
shows that almost anything may be ex-
pected OF the month Of August in the
District of Columbia.
That is to say. If past performances
on the part Of this midsummer month
during the years that have elapsed since
the establishment of the Weather Bu-
reau count for anything, those who are
compelled to spend August in Washing
ton may expect the average temperature
to be as high as 50 degrees, or as low
as Y degrees. by the Weather Bureau
thermometer. These are the highest and
lowest averages for August on record
The former occurred in 1900, the latter
in 1872.
On the other hand. If an average is
taken from the temperature Of past Au~
gusts, Washingtonians will jog through

The hottest August day in the ex-
perience of the Weather Bureau occur
red in 1881. when the thermometer, on
the 18th day OF the month-an unlueky
date-climbed 70 101. With that figure
prevailing at the cool site of the bureau
the temperature on Pennsylvania avenue
can easily be imagined. The coolest
day was August a. 1890, when the Their
mometer dropped 70 49 degrees.
AS for the rains In August, they hayS
been as variable as the temperature. IN
August. 1875. there was a monthly pre-.
cipitation of 1913 inches, while in 1879
the total August water fall amounted
TO but $500 inches.
