NEED OF CAUTION
Gayly Decorated Motor Ap-
paratus Calls Attention to
Prevention Day.

The clang of fire bells was heard
in all parts of Washington today as
gayly decorated motor apparatus went
through the streets calling attention to
fire prevention daY.
On the sides of the motor engines
were large banners appealing to all
citizens to help make Washington "a
fireless town" Superintendent of Ma
chinery Robinson led one of the en-
gines and Fire Marshal Seib rode at
the head of the other.
The driving of the motor engines
through the city marked the close of
ia seven-day campaign carried on by
Ia citizens committee in conjunction
with the fire department to enlist
the aid of every man, woman and
child in the movement to reduce the
annual fire loss.
Fire Chief George S. Watson said
today he does not believe there is
need in WaShington for a blacklist on

chants or citizens who do not cooper
ate with the fire department in pre-
venting conhagrations.

URGES WOMEN IN PULPITS.
Rabbi Simon Thinks They Sould
Be in Ministry

Women have political and social
equalities--why not in the ministry"
asked Rabbi Abram Simon in an ad-
dress last night at Eighth Street Tenn
pie. He said there is no functioniug
of a funeral or wedding that is dis
tinctivelly masculine.
pr. Simon said that the question OF
whether or not women should be per
mitted to enter the Jewish ministry
has been the subject of discussions
among prominent Jewish men in other
parts of the country.
He said this question could not have
been asked in ancient times. as the
question of women in politics or in
duStry was not thought of then. AL
though religion has been considered d
mans job, he said, conditions have
changed. Women are entering the
political. industrial and civil world.
Then why exclude them from the min
iStry if they desire to enter it, He
said he commends any women who
enter the ministry.
