NATIONWIDE MOVE
is LED BY OHIO.
ADOPTION OF STANDARD FOR
FIRE HOSE COUPLINGS is PRO-
POSED IN COLUMBUS.
HAS SUPPORT OF FIRE CHIEFS
After Plan Is Launched With Buckeye
Cities as Centers, 1t viii Be Ex-
tended to Cover Larger Field.

Western Newspaper, Union News Service.
Columbus, O.-Defnite form is be-
ing taken by a movement to be nation
wide in it's scope and to be supported
by large fire Insurance companies and
re-prevention organizations for stand
ardizing of hose couplings in all cities
and towns which have fre-ighting
equipment. The movement is first to
be worked out in Ohio, and, with this
state as center, is to be promoted
throughout the United States. The
form of organization to be maintained
is that adopted by the Central Ohio
Fire Chiefs, comprising the chiefs Of de-
partments within radius of so miles
of Columbus The Columbus organi-
cation is to be followed by the forma-
ton of a similar association in Cincin-
natl, embracing cities in Ohio, Ken
lucky and Indiana, within a radius of
so miles of the Queen City Similarly
in Cleveland, the body will take in all
cities within SO miles of Cleveland.
The center for another district may
be Youngstown; and for another, East
Liverpool, comprising cities in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. To-
ledo will be center for cities in a
5G-mile radius in Indiana, Ohio and
Michigan. Marietta and Portsmouth
will be Ohio river centers.
All the cities will be urged to adopt
the national standard specifications,
which for 21a-inch hose, calls for an
outside diameter over male-end thread
of 1-16 inches, with 71a threads to
the inch. After the Ohio centers have
been thoroughly organized the plan is
to extend the series of centers until
the entire country is covered. AL
though the subject has been agitated
among fire men in the past, the first
tangible steps are being taken to make
the uniformity an actuality. Fire chiefs
| have given the movement encourage
ment as second in interest only to the
cleanup and inspection campaigns
which originated in Ohio and have
| spread over the country.

Reports of the enemy that Ger

Tax Dodgers to Blame.

The tax dodgers. are responsible
for the financial distress of the larger
cities in Ohio. This is the conclusion
reached by James Boyle, member Of
the state tax commission, who, as the
emissary of Governor Willis, has COM
pleted a tour of Ohio's big cities to
plan for their financial relief. Boyle
will advise the governor and the leg
islature against the repeal of the
Smith one per cent tax law as the So
luton of the problem, but will sug-
gest that the interest and sinking fund
charges be removed from the ten mills
allowed cities for expenses. 1t is
Boyle's opinion that with all property
on the duplicate strict one per cent
tax is all that is necessary.

Excitement in The Netherlands Due

Washington. April 5. - Secretary
Lansing announced that the state de-
partment has official knowledge that
Holland is mobilizing troops in adj
tion to those which have been kept in
a state of preparedness since the war
started.
Officials of the state department do
not regard the meeting of the parlia-
ment of The Netherlands as impor-
tant. Officials were more concerned
over the mobilization orders. The un-
official opinion is that the excitement
in Holland is traceable directly to the
sinking of the Palembang and the
Tubantia
A high foreign diplomat said that
neither Germany nor Holland would
go to war over the Tubantia and Pa
lembang cases.
