sUccEssFUL DEMONSTRATIONS
 OF NEW FIRE ExTINGUIsHEl.

Mayor H. M. Lerou, Fire Chief How ard L. Stanton and the three fire com missioners, Alderman C. V. Pendleton, IT, Councilman Edward Crooks and N Flu gene Smith witnessed a successful dem onstration of Firefoam Monday afternoon at 2:30 on Union square. An opsn tank of burning gasoline from which six foot flames was shooting into the air was completely extinguished in about 50 sec conds after ? 1-2 gallon tank of Fire foam had been turned on it and the fire in a pile of wood was put out with equal celerity.
 Chief Stanton had the bumper from the Central station on hand so that the men from the station might see the test. and quite a crowd watched from safe dis tance. AS soon as. K. C.. Sadler New England salesman from the Boston of flee turned the nozzle of the Firefoam tank towards the blaze. the crowd on hand could sse how effectively the extinguisher worked. As soon as the stream of chem icals from the tank hit the blaze it form ed pasty mass like putty that complete ly spread over and blanketed whatever blaze it hit sticking fast to the wood sur faces and forming coating over the blazing gasoline in the tank SO that it was merely a question of how. quick it took to put the blanket on berore the fire was out
 When the test was over the fremen showed how easily the F1refoam deposit could be removed by merely turning the hose on it and washing it of. The 2 1-2 gallon tank makes 20 gallons of Firefoam when it is released under pressure for service on fire, and it is claimsd that Ffrefoam .s the only 100 per cent efficient extinguisher against gasoline, making it especially an all-around extinguishef fo rall occasions. Assisting at the dem onstration were Kernochan Babcock ot the Boston office and C. C. Peck and Mir Ward of the Connecticut Sales & Engin- eering Co, which has the Eastern Con. necticut territory agency

STAT E
CAPITAL


Annapolis
II Governor Ritchie does not change
his mind he will appoint Charles F.
smith Of the First Legislative dis
trict Of Baltimore. State Game War.
den to sucoeed E. Lee LeCompete. OF
Dorchester county, who was appointed
by Governor Harrington.
Governor Richie, it is said. is re-
luetant to displace Mr.. LeCompte with
Mr.. Smith, and probably would not
do so. but for the knowledge which
be gained through the efforts Of the
members from several counties in the
recent legislature to repeal or localize
the statewide game law which was
enacted by the General Assembly OF
1918 through the efforts OF Howard
Bryant. No sooner was this law on
the statute books than objections
were raised by the counties. In the
recent General Assembly efforts were
made TO exempt counties from the
provisions Of the law. According to
reports to the Governor jealousies
arose on the administration Of the
game protection law by county man.
The whole structure was in danger OF
topping. It was not a question of
the administration OF the law by Mr..
LeCompte. The same trouble was in
sight II any other county man should
be placed in charge Of the department
Recognizing this situation and in a
oerious effort to save the statewide
game protection law Governor Ritchie
is said to have looked at the judicial
end Of the situation. He endeayored
TO find a man for State Game Warden
who would not be hampered by local
conditions, who would approach the
enforcement of the law without local
preiudlces. and who would be guided
wholly by a wholesome desire to en-
force the law. He was convinced that
such a man could be found in the
city.
In looking over the Endorsements
for appointments to this position he
found the name Of Charles F. Smith.
Of East Baltimore. who was recon-
mended for the place by Frank A
Furst the only appointment, in fact.
for which Mr.. Furst has asked. In
recommending Mr. Smith Mr.. Furst
had in mind the need Of a man who
will meet requirements In protection
OF the game and fish laws Of the
state irrespective of county prejudices
To the activities and influence Of
Mr. Furst the election OF Mr.. Richie
as Governor is attributed. Mr.. Furst
has asked no returns for any infiu-
ence which he may have exerted in
behalf OF Mr.. Ritchie. There have
been reports of differences between
Governor Ritchie and Mr. F'urst Ac-
cording to authenticated reports from
their respective offices these reports
are groundless. Mr.. Furst has recon-
mended Frank Zouck for reappolnt-
ment as chairman Of the State Roads
Commission and Mr. Smith for State
Cana Warden. He has gone no
iurther and, if reports are reliable.
he will continue to be friend of
Governor Richie whether these ap-
pointments are made or are turned
down.
