LAST TRACE OF OLD CUSTOM

In the tedious hours that lag between
the sound of the fire-alarm and the call
to active duty il has been the custom at
some of the fire engine. and truck houses
of the District fire department to put in
the time in doing something to make the
moments fly faster and keep idle hands
employed. This has not been due to rules
of discipline prescribed for the fire lad
dies, but purely a matter of choice on
the part of some of them. at least. This
tendency has taken various forms of man.
Hesitation, the chief of which has been
in planting beauty spots the vacant
ground adjoining the engine or truck
houses.
In years gone by the result of these
voluntary labors has made more than one
of the neat, trim, business-like firemen's
stations seem like little palaces set in a
scene of artistic beauty. But the march
of improvement, the gradual elimination
of spare ground and other causes have in
terfered with those who have heretofore
sought to beautify and adorn their OFF,
cial homes This year there is but one
of the few places where a trace of the
old custom is to be found, and next year
il is feared even this will disappear.
Nowhere in the District of Columbia,
perhaps. is to be found a more beautiful
spot than the lawn which graces the front
Of engine house No. II. on North Capitol
and Quincy streets. The building itself Is
of the trim red brick pattern upon which
the homes of the District firemen are gen.
orally fashioned. 1t is neat, unpretentious,
scrupulously clean and as becomingly
quiet as a church, except when the gong
sounds that calls its inmates to confia-
grafton. But on the north front, just to
the right of the doors of the engine house.

its head above the others.

pieces of landscape beauty. In the center

John p. Sorenson, county horticul-
tural inspector. in his monthly re-
port to the county commissioners
says that in the month of May the
deputy inspectors worked from 2 to
% days each, as was considered
needful in the different districts,
making a total of rs days work. In
the first part of the month there were
some 10000 trees imported and
about $4,000 sent out from the nurs-
cries. Most Of the imported trees,
as we'll as the ones dug up in the
nurseries, were sent out of the coun-
ty and large part out of the state.
About 1000 of them were planted in
the county. There were set out in
the nurseries and planted about 700.-
900 seedlings. about 100000 of
which were foreign importations The
