INAUGURATION DAY PERIL
OCCURRENCE TO BE IMPOSSIBLE

Work will be begun in a few days for
| the extension of the underground sys-
| tenn of the District wires to connect the
| Brightwood fire engine house and the
! TenleytoWn engine house and police sta
| ton by underground wires with fire and
| police headquarters and to replace large
amount of overhead wiring connecting
| fire alarm and police patrol boxes with
underground wires. for which Congress. in
| the last District appropriation act, voted
| 81. 900.
Overhead connections to about seventy
fire alarm and police patrol boxes, it
was stated by Electrical Engineer AL
len this morning, will be replaced by
| underground wires and these will then be
safe in times of storms such as come
on inauguration days
Engine Houses Isolated.
The inauguration day storm played
havoc with the overhead wires connect
ing the outlying firehouses with the fire
| alarm boxes and with fire headquarters
and in some cases there was for days no
| way to turn in fire alarms to the engine
houses When the work made possible
by this appropriation is completed a re-
currence of such a dangerous situation
is regarded as practically impossible CON

nected by the underground system.
w. c. Allen. District electrical en-
sineer. said this morning that the plans
have been under preparation for some
time and that they will be so far ad-
vanced by the end of this week that ac-
tual work in putting in the Underground

week.

The underground cable to connect the
Brightwood and Tenleytown fire engine
houses will be laid in the conduits of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany. All the fire alarm and patrol boxes
on the route Of these extensions on
Georgia avenue and Tenleytown road will
also be connected by the underground
system as we'll the Tenleytown police
substation. Many fire alarm boxes in
other sections of the District, now con-
nected by overhead wires. will be connect
ed by underground cables. These are in
the southeast section of the city along
the west bank of the Eastern branch in
| the extreme southwest section and in the
old first ward near the junction of Rock
creek with the Potomac river.
To Connect School Buildings.
The underground system will also be
run to twelve school buildings along the
routes of the underground extensions,
the conduit being built into the Easements
of the structures.
When this work is completed. Electrical
Engineer Allen said today, there will be
only five engine houses and one police
substation, of all the engine and police
houses, not connected by underground
wires. The engine houses to which the
overhead connections will still run are 10

Don't Go Far Enough

The Hawaiian legislature has passed
Il freak bill to prohibit women from
wearing sailor buttons, army buttons,
sailor blouses; warship ribbons or any
other thing that pertains to the uniform
of the soldiers or sailors.
Anyone who has ever been in Ho-
noluiu will think the legislature did not
go far enough. The ladies in Honolulu
invented the hide and seek or peekab0o
shirt waist. Most of the ladies in that
country are rather well developed and
it is no uncommon sight to see woman
walking on the public streets wearing a
shirt waist that leaves SO little to the
imagination that. a sight of the wearer
makes hungry baby cry. Honolulu be-
ing Il naval station, low neck gowns are
generally lower than at any other port
on the Pacific and it is possible the law,
if enforced will result in the arrest of
practically every woman in Honolulu,
all of whom are certain to rebel against
