In all the wide range Of Christmas
present making there Is nothing that
offers so many opportunities az the
pretty piece of ribbon found on the
remnant counters Of the stores. They
are comparatively inexpensive. and
the ingenious woman easily fashions
from them many a dainty and at

ment or home decoration that will be

TT probably will be q relief to the
great masses OF the people to
know finally and positively that Miss
Edith Root. daughter OF the secretary
of state, and Ulysses s. Grant III. are
TO have an extremely simple and quiet
wedding at the home OF the brides
parents on Rhode Island avenue. The
Children Of the big ones, especially in
Washington, ordinarily have enough
spent on the gewgaws OF their we'd
dings to keep them in household sup

affairs in Washington more costly
than funerals are the weddings.
The daughter OF the secretary Of
state is to marry the grandson Of a
PRESIDENT and the greatest soldier OF
his time, and few people are to be
gathered together to witness the cere-
mony. II is a fine and an appealing
arrangement. There probably will be
a lot OF presents. Neither the bride
nor the groom. II is supposed. can
prevent the food OF gifts which the
prominence of their families will start.
Young Grant is quiet. unassuming

FIRE SERVICE INADEQUATE Board of Underwriters Makes Report. HAVE NOT ENOUGH ENGINES Police Department Readers Little !. Aid at Fires. Quite Number of important Recom- z mendations Are Made Looking
 to Improvement of Condi-
 tiOns Prevailing.
HAVE NOT ENOUGH ENGINES

Exhaustive comment on Montgom- ery's ire-fghting facilities and struc- tural conditions and hazalds that pre- vail in this city, and numerous recom- mendations along these lines, are con- tained in the printed report of the Committee on Fire Prevention of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, wno visited Montgomery in March. A copy of the report was received Satur- dcy by Mayor Teague and tfe data contained Tn it is most interesting.
 The fire prevention committee says that while the fire department is full paid. It's financial support is poor~ The department the report says, was re- gently enlarged. but is still inadequate On this one subject alone the general summary nsry gives this expression. r.. number of powerful engines is inade- ned: chemical service dencient; hose Mnor aeeSpas asapent fsir Mf efase psalpne iHn good. No drills. Response to alarms good. Fire methods satisfactory. Building inspections inadequate. Ser-
 As to water supply the report says:
 Works owned and operated by the municipality. Management efficient Supply from artesian wells and in stor- age reservoirs is inadequate. Pump ing capacity inadequate to insure safe supply under possible adverse condi- tions; boiler capacity inadeauate. Con- sumption moderate; pressure satisfac- tory. Main arteries and secondary feeders of satisfactory size and well arranged. A large portion of distrih- utfng mains are six inches or less in diameter: gate valves too widely spaced: not regularly inspected.

 No fire marshal; duties poorly per- formed by city officers. Police depart ment renders little aid at fires. Only one electric company sends @ man to fires Telephone service good and ex- tensively used. No central station of value only to individual risks. Re- liable outside aid too remote to be of much value"
 In giving a summary of structural conditions and hazards in Montgomery, the committee says that there are prac- tically no building laws in this city, that the supervision over building op- erations is slight and of little value, and that the fire limits are too restrict ed.
 The conflagration hazard, the report says. is severe in many parts of the congested value district, due to lack of protection to horizontal and verti- cal openings, bad cross angle and ex- cess height exposures, some hazardous centers of high combustibility and the streets give the fire department a chance to confine fire to 9 small section, which, with the good water distribution system, reduces the proba- bility of a confIagration involving the entire district to a minimum.
