TRIES TO FIRE WOMAN FIREMAN
Education Board Issues Order, hut
Miss Nonasck Fights II.

Whether the Board ~ Education may
discharge the only licensed woman FIRE
man In the city. and perhaps In the coun-
Try, is to be decided by supreme Court
Justice Davis as the result of suit filed
yesterday by Miss Antoinette Vonasek of
337 Washington avenue, The Bronx, who
for some months has been firing the boiler
at Public School 81, Tho Bronx, In a ca
pahle way.
Miss Nonasek. who comes from family
OF engineers and fremen and Is admittedly
qualified for her Job, has been ordered dis
missed by the janitor who hired her at
$50 month. because the Board OF Educa-
ton fears that when she Is stocking the
boiler her clothing may become iguited
Miss Vonasek's unique case was pre-
ssnted yesterday by her attorney. Miss
Rosalie f. hanover. for writ OF man
damus forbidding the Board OF Education
tn FIRE the lady fireman. Miss hanover
cont, nds that the laws Of the State do not
discriminate against women In their en-
p.oyment. and that the Board Of Educa-
ton cannot override the law by making
rules discriminating against women.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Mcintyre
for the Board OF Education told Justice
Davis that the only reason for the order
AGAINST Miss Vonasek was the fear that
tho building might be unsafe for the chill
dren In case OF trouble in the boiler room

Mayor Mitchell OF New York said:
business IL picking up. There is a
sign OF Improvement on every hand"
Throughout the New England manufac-
turing territory, particularly in districts
where there Is a variety OF industries. the
signs point to a business stimulus which
will sweep the whole section. according
to Mayor Woods OF Holyoke. Macs.
Many New England concerns. he said.

TO he installed by the United States army
IN the defences at the Panama Canal and
Manila Bay. according to the annual re-
port OF Brig Gen, Crozer. chief OF the
bureau Of ordnance, made public here to-
day.
These are new II inch guns OF greater
calibre than those heretofore installed In
American defences and Of greater power.
They will discharge shells weighing 1860
pounds each with a maximum effective
range OF 5000 yards. or a little more than
ten miles
The guns Of this tyne already made
have been thoroughly tested and found
wholly satisfactory Gen. Crozier asserts.
In the manufacture of these and other
guns for the army the arsenal at Water
Nliet has been working on a day and night
basis for more than year
Twcnty-three of the latest type OF ~
nch mortars were made during the last
Year and all were sent to the Panama

bureau. Another howitzcr OF still larger

jectile.

ION once more 10 tho shortage OF ammu-
milton in the United States army.
The amount OF ammunit on on hand

The supply of small arms ammunition
Is considered fairly adequate to the first
needs of the United states In case OF

IDLY increased by the manufacturing Ia
cilites in this country after the outbreak
Of war.
Gen. Crozier thinks the proposal that
tho War Department shall be prohibited
from purchasing any smokeless powder
from private manufacturers would be I'M
wise.
THE wisest policy" says Gen Crozitr
lis for Congress to fix. as IL has done
what u considers A reasonable price to be
paid for sIuokelcss powder and with that
restriction to authorize the Department
to give private manufacturers fair share
Of the work of manufacture"
Gen. Crozier defends the system OF
scientific shop management In operation
at some Of the army arsenals. lie de-
clares that much of the opposition to
what has been done in the arsenals is
