70 CIT AUf0 fiNE TRUCK

John J. Noonan, president Of the
Western Transfer company, has in
itiated a movement for the acquisi-
ton Of modern FIRE fighting appara-
tus by the City Of Deming. Mr..
Noonan has put in considerable time
investigating the various machines
on the market in the United States,
and has received a great many com
munications ON the subject, with the
result that he has had offered to
him q fine modern combination hose
and chemical six cylinder, sixty horse
power automobile fire truck. with
electric lights, electric starter. forty
gallon chemical tank, ladders, 1900
feet Of first class hose and all the
necessary equipment for $4,000.
~ am Of the opinion" said Mr..
Noonan, "that the City Of Deming
can adopt the same plan as that
taken up by several cities Of this
size, and larger, in the East and
Canada, which was the raising of the
purchase price Of the fire apparatus
by popular subscription until the city
was able to pay for its own appara-
tus. Deming is too large and grow
ing TOO rapidly to depend upon the
ancient FIRE fighting system We have
now, and with a large capacity
chemical truck and ability to get to
n fire promptly, it will not be neces-
sary to have n strong water pres
sure as n great majority Of fires can
be extinguished by chemicals without
the use Of water. A great percentage
Of the fires in the larger cities Of the
country are put out in their incipi-
ency, by the use Of chemical fire
trucks. stand ready to subscribe
my share toward the fund and think
the matter should be taken in hand
at once"

Washington. Aug. 2S.-Secretary
Bryan issued the following direct
warning to all Americans In Europe
to return home:
"All Americans are advised to re
turn home as Don as they a secure
transportation facilities. Wal creates
uncertainties, so that predictions
about the future cannot be made with
any degree Of accuracy. 1t IS not
wise. therefore, for Americans abroad
to delay their return longer than Is
absolutely necessary. This does not,
however. mean that every one should
try to take the same boat, but means
that there should be no unnecessary
delay"
It is feared that within a short time
both Italy and Turkey will be drawn
into the European confagration, and
the administration Is anxious to be
relieved OF the work of caring for
Americans in Europe in order to be
able 10 turn it's full attention TO more
