WHAT FIRE WHISTLES
MEAN TO FIREMEN
Three Tests a Day at All
Stations for Bluecoated
PrOtectiOniStS.

To anyone but a fireman that blast
of the fire whistle which is heard at
in the morning, at noon and again at
5 in the evening, means no more than
a marker in the days routine. To the
firemen in the central and suburban
stations it means five minutes of as
lively busting as they ever experience
in their strenuous occupation Of pro
tecting public and private property.
When the hitch signal is given on the
fire alarm system the big bell in the
tower of the central station rings, the
gong downstairs clangs, the fire whis-
tie at the electric light plant toots
at his post The test Slarm is sent to
each of the outside stations by means
of the GameweIl system, the men re
spond as If they were answering real
fire alarm, and the test is made stimuli
taneously in each station
The big fire horses plunge from then
stalls to their places under the drop
harness. the harness is snapped on
them, the drivers mount the seats and
everything is ready for d run Even
the automobile fire engine is tested, the
driver starting the engines and testing
the steering gear. The chief mounts
his buggy and his white horse stamps
impatiently on the concrete floor for
the run Every man in the department,
with the exception of the lookout in
the tower and the men who are off
duty, must respond to this test alarm
and be at his post on the apparatus

BRING PEOPLE BACK To COUNTRY
Declares Farmers Spend Enough Broken Harness and
Wagons and Loss Of Time to Build Good Roads.
Wagon Roads as Important as Railroads The
Government Ought to Help Building.
Expenditures.

should be employed in making better
roads
Military Expenditures.
Col. GOethaIs, at the head of Panama
canal construction, says that this vast
enterprise is of first Importance as a
military expedience. To make this
naval highway ina foreign country for
fighting vessels, our government Is
spending more money than has ever
been expended for any one similar pro-
ject in the history of the world. The
value of good roads has not been driven
home because federal and state legisla-
lures feel that they can. without being
criticised at home, do little for country
roads, and the people accept such short
sighted policies without protest.
If we build 100000 miles of public
highways annually for 10 years, and
give TO this country 100000 miles Of
good public roads at an average cost
Of $4,000 per mile, or S300,0OO,000 an
nually, we will be engaging in q ma
tionaI development, the advantages Of
which in economies, commerce, comforts
and enhanced land values, none can
foretell We will be accomplishing
something worth while.
A law authorizing the federal gov
eminent to extend its credit to each
state in an amount equal to that ex-
pended by such state under a joint com
mission of federal and state authorities,
would enable the different states to
take advantage, in this work 'of up
building, of a low rate of interest that
would greatly reduce the interest charge
for the improvement of the public high
ways. This would not be so radical
a departure from present practices as
might first appear. The government
has advanced or agreed to advance
$115, 000, 900 to reclaim waste lands in
various places in the west, which mon
ey is to be paid back TO the govern
ment. 1t is just as sound a public pol
icy to loan one-haf of the money 10
states which furnish the other half for
the reclamation of farms and idle lands
that cannot now be reached on account
of existing road conditions between
them and railroad stations.
A Precedent.
Those who seek precedent for federal
aid in providing better country roads
will find it in the support which the
government gave the old National pike
Under various names. this great inter
state highway ran from Washington
to the Mississippi river. 1t was begun
by the federal government. Many ap-
propriations were made by congress 10
pay for construction, and il was built
under the direction of war department
engineers.
The tide Of young humanity will
flow to the country and away from The
towns when you get good roads. Coun-
try localities with good roads 90 To-
ward; country localities with bad roads
go backward. The welfare of the ma
Eion demands that the comforts Of
country life should keep pace VIZ ne
comforts of city life
Railroads are now spending hundreds
of millions of dollars on terminals in
various cities of the country. These
millions of dollars do not add greatly

not create new business, but they do add
