Money Forthcoming To Protect School
 Children From Fire
Fire Chief Mooney's Insist ence Results In Discovery of Funds for Fire Proven tion Decrees.

All other proposed repairs to school houses have been abandoned by the Board of Education and the remainder of the repair fund, about $10,OO0, will be devoted to equipping the older schools with fire protection in accord ance with the order of Fire Chief Mooney. Already many alterat tions ordered by Chief Mooney have been made in the way of changes in the boiler rooms, the removal of wooden staircases and dust and waste paper bins from the cellars of the buildings.
 The finance committee which has held several meetings in an effort to find money to pay for the fire protec- ton demanded by Chief Mooney re- ported to the board last night that it could find no money with which to pay for the necessary changes other than the unexpected portion of the re- pair fund. Therefore it was decided to let all other repairs go for another year and put in the ire escapes, etc., which Chief Mooney insists upon.
 The committee at present is getting prices on fire escapes, etc. Commits sioner Bell at the meeting of the board last night said he had some prices and had been shown pictures of a new fire escape recently placed on the Danbury High school. Although the law exempts the schools which have fire proof halls, Chief Mooney
 
 people who are burned to death at fires are first overcome by smoke.
 Among the other changes already made to the schools the wooden stairs at the Mckinley school have been re- placed with iron ones There are about twenty schools in Bridgeport which must be given better equipment for protection of the lives of the pu- pills against fires.
 The board intends to go ahead and make all changes demanded by Chief Mooney as he will not recede from his stand and has declared he will close the schools unless the changes are made. The new equipment will be paid for out of what is left of the repair fund and when that is ex- hausted the board members say the city must provide the money from some other source
 Among the schools on which changes must be made arec

WAR SECRETARY
 SAYS STANDING ARMY TOO SMALL

Deadwood, s. D., Aug. 22@The army is the national insurance policy, Sec retary of War Garrison told the Dead wood Business Club, last night. The nation deserved to lose it's protection if it did not see that proper clauses were Inserted in the policy that pro- tected the country. The army was never better equipped nor had better fighters than now, he said, but 33 900 for a standing army was woefully small.
 The country, he said, had but two resources either a big standing army or reserve body. Universal peace talk was 'fhot air and a little steam, ' General wood, chief of staff, told the club. He urged the encouragen1ent of state militia and constabulary. With the right encoura cement such bodies would make a great fighting machine, he said.

MANY GOVERN MENT
 JOBS GO ABEGGING

Washington, Aug. 22-Jobs under the government are going abegging and the civil service commission is- sued announcements, today, of exani- nations to be held for a number of positions, almost every announcement bearing this significant statement in black faced letters:
 "As the commission has experi- enced considerable difficulty in secur- ing a sufficient number of eligfbles for this position, qualified persons-ar are urged to enter this examination.
 Among the positions which the commission seeks to fill through com petitive examinations is that of pre- parator in the bureau of entomology of the department of agriculture. The place pays $60 a month. The exami- nation consists only of spelling, arith- metic, letter writing, penmauship, copying and demonstrating general tical tests in preparing, mounting and labelling chronological specimens, both pinned and microscopic"
 Another place is that of teacher of metal working and mechanical draw ing in the Indian service. This job also pays $60 a month. Besides be- ing both an arithmetician and an artist the applicant, according to the specifications, might well have "a knowledge of wood turning" but this knowledge "is not essential
 The real prize position pays $4,500 year. It is the position of professor of pharmacology in the public health service.
 ''The specific position mentioned '' says the commissions announcement,'' '' is one of much responsibility and it is desired to secure the services of 8 man who has had broad training and extensive practical experience In various branches of pharmaco1ogy, physiology, physiological and phar- maceutical chemistry, chemotherapy, etc., as they relate to medicine and the public health"
 Those seeking this position, how ever, the commission insists, must have had 10 years experience along the lines laid down and likewise must have had training that would qualify them for the degree of Phs D.. if they have not already acquired that dis t1nction.
