Maj. Sylvester warns all establish
ments where there are fire extin-
guishers to examine them carefully.
As head of the protection depart
ment Of the E. I. du Pont de Nemours
Company he was called in recently by
an outside concern to assist in the
investigation Of a mysterious fire in a
large manufacturing plant. He dis
covered that hand fire extinguishers
had been Allied with gasoline. SO that
instead of extinguishing incipient
blazes the gasoline caused further
spread of the flames and made more
certain the destruction of the plant.
Maj Sylvester advises that such ex-
tinguishers should be placed in a
sealed container With glass front, to
be broken In case of need.

"Look of Pride"

In a recent general order the fol-
lowing statement is made:
LOOK of pride: mark this. A SOL
dier or an officer should be proud that
it is his prerogatiye, and his alone, to
salute. Soldiers do not salute civilians,
nor civilians soldiers. The salute Is
the sign of freepasonry that unites
soldiers. But here there are soldiers
who salute as though 1t were a per-
functory and unpleasant duty, and
officers who return the salute as
though they were ashamed. apologetic
or bored. The military salute Is q
beautiful and graceful motion. Are
you drilling your men to do 1t ac-
curately?"

SPIRITED SALUTES
GA|N|NF0RCE HERE
Zeal Carries Soldiers So Far
They Treat One Private
As an Officer.

The problem of the non-military
private and the saluting officer In
Washington has been solved. Unlike
its condition last Saturday night, when
more than 100 soldiers were arrested
by Army officers in wholesale raids,
Pennsylvania avenue and 9Th street
last night was peaceful.
Not one private was placed under
arrest for failing to salute his su-
perior officer.
In fact, there was a studied OBJ
servance of the proper military eti-
quette. Buck" privates were even
saluting Buck" privates SO as to
avoid arrest. Both the officers and
privates exchanged salutes snappily.
The soldiers stood much more erect
when making a salute than last Sat,
urday night, and also were dressed
properly.
Evening star., 1918-07-21
Nistook Him for Officer.

So erect and SO neatly dressed was
one soldier that three privates mis-
took him for an officer and saluted.
The three soldiers were reclining
against wire wickets around a park
at 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue
when the neatly dressed private pass
ed. The men leaped to their feet,
stood at attention and saluted. But
the lone private failed to return the
salute and the soldiers were amazed.
After closer examination they dis
covered their mistake.
Soldiers all along Pennsylvania ave-
nue. were trying to attract the off,
GERS attention instead of glancing
in store windows as on the previous
Saturday night.
War Department officials also say
that there has been q more general
observance of the service require
ments In the matter of salutes on the
part Of officers and enlisted men. They
say that the proper exchange of
salutes by officers and soldiers is alb
solutely essential to military disci-
pline, and that all offenders in that
respect are subject to punishment un-
der the articles of war. Strict observ-
ance of the requirements is enjoined
upon everybody in the military es-
tablishment by the Army regulations
and by recent general orders issued
by the adJutant general.

PLAN AIR POSTAL SERVICE
Is Expected by Enolishmen to Be One
Of the First Innovations When
Peace Is Declared.

Airplane postal service will be one Of
the first innovations of peace in Eng
land. The problem is already being
worked out in detail, even TO The cost
of postage and hours of collection and
delivery. It is also said that within
the first few months after peace a
transatlantic airplane service will be
established. Airplane engineers say
that the problem of constructing a
machine for transatlantic flight has
been solved in theory. and machines
which would cross the Atlantic could
be built to-day If it were not that the
long distance busses of war time must
also be heavy weight carriers. The
most interesting result of these peace
plans is that it has been found pos
sible to arrange the collection and de-
livery of letters between London and
Glasgow with such dispatch that cor
respondent in London will be able to
receive a written answer within the
working day. Applied to the middle

that a Kansas City business man will
be able to send a document to ST.

kept his word, but Queen Elizabeth re.

her subjects would be deprived of their
