The Districts new automobile fire en-
CINE paid a visit to the District building
today. where 1t was received very gra-
Fciously by Chief Wagner, Superintendent
Of Machinery T. NJ. Robinson and several
other officials, and a large crowd that
stood about the apparatus and called II
everything from a wrecking wagon to a
hose cart. The only thing about the
machine which indicates the slightest
usefulness at a fire is large inverted
bronze pear-shaped air chamber sticking
up amidships and a pair of hydrant con-
nections on the right side, resting on the
running board. Otherwise the new auto
fire-killer is a twin brother to a wrecking
wagon

wheels of a truck One hundred horse
power, distributed through six cylinders,

| than the ordinary bathtub. is an indi-
cation of the work the new machine will
| do when tuned up. Far down in the
| inside of the machine is a pump, run by
the same 100 horsepower which drives
the wheels. This pump will toss a little
matter of 500 gallons of water a minute
and never gasp for breath.

| thing else will take place on the 18th
street side of the District building to-
morrow morning at O'Clock.

| When the machine finds itself" it Is

get q speed of forty miles an hour The
specifications call for thirty miles, but
| the power under the inverted bathtub
hood undoubtedly will exceed that speed
according to the manufacturer The en-
| CINE will have a chance to work out a
| trial heat tomorrow morning.
On either side of the machine, low
| down toward the ground. are two in
| takes, where the water from the fire
| hydrants will be sucked inward, and
| right above them are two smaller holes,
| to which will be attached the fire hose
| One of the features of the new ma
| chine is that when the chauffeur reaches
| the scene of the fire and the hydrant
| connection is made the engine begins to
pump its 500 gallons a minute without a
| culver. In other words the engine under
| the big hood is ready every second to
begin pumping whenever the chauffeur
throws the clutch back. 1t Is simplicity
| itself.
At present the big new machine is
housed at No. engine house, North
Carolina avenue southeast between 9th
| and 7th streets.

= F THE nation at this time of the year
were asked to name the national
bird, the men, with sharp axes in
hand, and the women, armed with
roasting pans, would vote with one
breath in favor of the turkey.
Less than eight months later, so
tickle is popularity, they would declare
with patriotic WhOOpS and fire cracker
enthusiasm that IL is the American
eagle.
The popularity of both the turkey and
the eagle is as short lived as the fire
cracker that goes up with a loud noise
and comes down busted, compared with
the steadily increasing popularity OF
that much derided bird, the hen, but
no one has yet had appreciation enough
TO name a day in the calendar either
Tor whOOping about the hen as glori-
Gus emblem of liberty or calling famt-
lies in reunion to offer thanks over her
uncOmfOrtably stuffed carcass She Is
taken as matter OF course; her con-
steadily increasing share in the assets
OF the nation, her faithfulness, her
strict attention to her own business, a
business that means money and com
forts for all who own her, are accept
cd without any more comment OF
thanks than the rising of the sun.
From her hour Of early rising till her
hour Of retirement she is busy every
moment attending to her own aTIalrS,

Told Of the Hen.
If woman wishes to see how she
looks on a windy day. her attention is
called to the hen. With every feather IN
place on every other occasion, and an
example of neatness,. the hen on
windy day looks as If she had dressed
without stopping to pin on her clothes
She is plainly irritated, and with ev-
cry feather blowing the wrong way.
looks like q woman caught out in the
wind with her skirts whirling about her
head and mad enough to bite nails
She looks as if she had dressed to run
to a fire, and yet with her feathered
petticOats and ruffles blowing the
wrong way, she is steadfastly going
about her own business. either on her
way to lay an egg, or to scratch for a
worm.
No sculptor has ever had such an ap-
probation Of her most conspicuous
quality that he carved out OF marble a
hen sitting on her eggs as an emblem
of patience but what Is a more notable
exc mple of this rarest Of virtues?
She has a patience that is never pa
raded: she sits on her eggs day after
day, and never once. though wasting
away to feathers and bones, does she
assume the air of 4 martyr. If the
rooster sat on an egg three minutes he
would crow a week for a martyrs
crown.
The maternal instinct. the saving
grace Of humanity, IS more largely de-
velOped in the hen than in any other
living creature.

PREDICTS FIFTEEN
CENT COPPER SOON
Another Stock Reduction
Made and Price Rise
Is Sensational

Boston, Mass, Dec. 25.-Fifteen
cent copper by spring is the predic-
ton Of some Of the leading copper in
terests, and they base their opinion on
the fact that so percent Of the Feb
ruary production has been sold, and
large sales have been made for March
delivery as high as IS is cents having
been paid
Indications point to another big re-
ductiOn in stocks for December-prob-
ably as large as in November.
The advance in copper is sensational
and while the United Metals Selling
company has increased its price, other
large agencies, having no copper for
sale practically this side of March de-
livery have withdrawn from the mar
ket and "A cent copper is in early pros
pect.
One Of the largest sellers of copper
metal says that copper is firm at IS SIS
at 10 "a, and he was reluctant to dis
pose of the metal at around those fig
ures When asked as to what price
he was holding copper metal, he said;
7 am almost ont Of the market and
in no hurry to- book new orders.
We believe that there will be another
large buying movement in the near fu-
ture and I am awaiting this This
next buying, I believe, will come from
the american consumers, and would
not be at all surprised to see much
higher prices for the metal"
