How Courtship Started.
The wedding of the president and
Mrs. Gait tonight will be the culmina-

last summer. Mrs. Gait almost from

Oldest daughter Miss Wilson,, soon
after she came to Washington, assum-
ed an active part in the women's
charitable work here and in this field
of endeavor she met Mrs. Gait, who,
instead Of playing a prominent social
role. gave all her spare time to charit-
able fields.
In the natural course of events the
president and Mrs. Gait met. Early
last summer the president dropped the
many arduous cares of state and went
to Cornish, N. H., to spend a few days
with his daughter, Miss Margaret Will
son. Mrs. Gait was then a guest
there. The two were thrown much
together and friendship soon ripen-
ed into love. 1t was on October 6
that the White House gave out an Of
fetal statement, announcing that the
president and Mrs. Gait were en-
gagged.

she and the president were seen often
together They were visitors to the
American League baseball park here

all these trips either Miss Margaret

How Love Ripened.
The real courtship took place after
the announcement of the engagement.
Since then the president and Mrs. Gait
have been much together. Almost
daily they saw each other. Either the
president made a call at Mrs. Cats
home or Mrs. Gait, in company with
her brother, paid call at the White
House. Each day saw the couple out
riding and two or three times a week
they were seen at the theatres.
Saturday automobile picnics were
enc Of the many forms the presidents
courtship took. During the months of
October and November and even the
early part Of December, the president
and his fiancee left Washington on
Saturday mornings and spent the day
on a long ride. These trips some
times we're of 200 or more miles in
length and very often the president
and Mrs. Gait had luncheon on the
wayside.

short time the bureau would take def
mite action on It,
Briefly. the plan proposed by Mr..
Bavis is to motOrize the four horse
drawn chemical wagons, maintain
three of them in service and keep one
in reserve. The crew Of the wagon
placed in reserve would be assigned to
the aerial ladder truck, providing for
it a full complement OF men.
Mr.. Bavis said his plan called for
locating the fire companies on the &C
tive list at the central station: at the
No. station, West Richmond: No. 8
station. east end. and No. station.
south end. The aerial truck and the
hose truck would be at central station.
Only one company would be located in
each of the other three stations. The
old No. ! station. North Eighth street,
would be used only as quarters for the
reserve wagon.

The four wagons now used to
$4,000" Mr.. Bavis stated. There has
been 81 900 appropriated for horse feed
next wear and the eight horses now
used could be sold for at least $1,000
This $4,000 would more than pay for
motorizing one of the four wagons
The saving in horse feed would pay
for the motorization project within
eight years.
With every wagon motorized the
efficiency of the fire department
would be increased forty per cent
even by placing one Of the wagons in
reserve.
THE proposed reserve station, the
North Eighth street house. could also
be used as quarters for the equipment
of the street department. which is
badly in need of such place.

sPEcIAI. ~ rHn rnrrRNAr.

Punta Gorda, Sept. 26.-The
steamer Roamer, now en- route from
New York to Pensacola, arrived in
port this morning from Fort Myers.
The Roamer was purchased by the
state of Florida and brought down
by Shell Fish Commissioner Hodges
to be used on the gulf side for coast
guard patrol.
Commissioner Hodges met with
the fishermen and dealers here today
and found them generally in accord
with the provisions of the fish laws
Of the state.
The question Of testing the consti-
tutionality of the fish law, enacted
by the legislature Of 1915 has been
one under consideration over the
state generally by unions, formed by
the fishermen, but the union at this
point has just received an opinion
from Messrs. Blount & Blount &
Carter, prominent attorneys of PEN
sacola, advising that the law is con-
stitutional and they will have to COM
ply with same.
Shipments of fish from this point
are unusually heavy, many solid
cars of iced fish going forward by
freight daily to Charleston, Savan-
nah, Atlanta and other southern
cities.
The Roaner leaves this afternoon
for Boca Grande and will go TO St.
Petersburg tomorrow and to Tampa
and thence on up the coast as far as
Pensacola. Her home port will be
Apalachicola.
