among the first to consider this

been for many years among the f1rst
to consider each problem of child
welfare and child protection that
this country has faced. He has been
connected with the National Child

VALVE FOR FIRE
WHISTLE HERE;
REGULAR ALARM
system TO Be
RESUMED

The valve for the fire whistle has
at last arrived, AMI will be installed
tomorrow, at which time it will be
tested out. If the fire alarm blows
several times in close succession to-
morrow it will not necessarily mean
that the town is burning up, but rath-
er that the whistle is being tested in
order to see If 1t will work properly.
For several weeks the alarm has been
giving out doleful, mournful, sor-
rowful kind of a sound, which was
also uninforming, as the blasts, which
denote the number Of box pulled,
could not be given properly. This
will now be obviated, and the alarm
in the future will be sounded accord.
ing to the number Of box pulled.
When this system was at first inaugu.
rated In October, 1t was not very pop.
ular, because the public, had not ia.
miliarized themselves with the mum.
bers Of the boxes and their location,
however, after several months, of use,
this system has proven very satisfac-
tory, and the public generally will be
glad to get back to the regular sig
nails. Therefore, if tomorrow the
whistle is sounded several times, IT
will be for testing purposes-al
though there might be a fire, and in
case there is it will sound the box
and the Fire Department will do the
rest.
