URGES INCREASED PAY
FOR DISTRICT FIREMEN
Brightwood Park Association Be-
ieves Compensation Should Equal
That of the Policemen.

Increased pay for members Of the fire
department to equalize increases made
this year in the police department is
recommended by the Brightwood Park
Citizens Association in a list Of improve
ments submitted to the Commissioners
to be considered In connection with the
framing Of the estimates.
The association also asks a number Of
street improvements but only on condi-
ton that the Borland law is repealed.
Among them Is continuation Of the as
phalt pavement on Georgia avenue north
west from Rock Creek Church road. and
grading and matchmaking Of Illinois ave-
nue. from Longfellow street to Rock
Creek Church road. The latter improve
ment, it is claimed, would link up the
northeast section of the city with the
suburban section east of Rock Creek
Park.
The association also recommends a
four-room addition to the Brightwood
Park School; motorizing Of the Bright
wood fire company; improved lighting
system for Georgia avenue, from Florida
avenue to the District line. and under
ground electrical construction on the
Brightwood car line along Georgia avenue

all walks Of life.
The task Of making q living In any
profession or business 10 one which will
tax the constitution Of the strongest.
Most men have recognized their need,
but have not known Just how to supply
it. They do not know how to fortify
themselves against the strain which they
must endure year after year. What man
does not wish TO tackle his business

Some men are too fat. others are too
thin. and most Of them are soft. They
know It, but either through indifference

long as they can keep out Of the hands
of the doctor. Some men handle their
bodies the same as they do their auto

breaks. They fear apopleIy, govt and
other ills that come with obesity, but
how to prevent it-that is the problem.

Others Likely to Follow.

At other quick lunch restaurants it
was said that there is likelihood, if
one or more establishments increase
prices, there will be a large following
of the example within the next few
days.
At the restaurant which has increased
its prices, in addition to an increase on
egg orders, there has been an increase
of cents on the price of a small steak
This, which formerly sold for 35cents,
will now cost 40 cents, although the
weight of the steak has been increased
one ounce Also all pies in future at
this restaurant will be 10 cents a cut,
instead of cents although there will
be a slight increase in the size
Pies were formerly cut into seven
portions and sold at cents each. They
will now be cut into six portions at 10
