Asked about this fire, the physi-

for twenty-eight hours in the smoky
warehouse, where the firemen were
endeavoring to overcome and extin-
guish a peculiarly stubborn, smold-
ering blaze.

\ Beautiful House

The remodeling, decorating and
furnishing have all been done under
the personal direction of Mrs. Pear
main, of Boston, one of the former
presidents of the association. Mrs.
Pearmain was one of the organizers
OF the Boston College Club and has
had the experience Of furnishing
that club during three successive
stages of enlargement. The club
house, at 1907 H Street, has been
very beautifully furnished in a style
suitable to the character of the house
and it's traditions.

"The A. C. A. committee on in

this will grow opportunities for our

ties the strongest women from

Origin of ''Buff''
For the information Of the writer
DR.. Archer explained the origin of
the term "fire buff"
1T came from the city of Buff
falo," he said. "There was in that
city a certain man who had a Pc
culiar passion for fires. He would
sleep in the station houses so as not
to miss one. So the firemen ac-
quired the habit of calling voluntary
firemen like myself 'buffaloes,' and
finally the term was contracted to
bluffs That's how the name came
into existence"
Another famous "fire buff" is Hon.
orary Deputy Chief Edward j.
Kenny. 1t is Mr.. Kenny who pro-
vides the firemen with coffee, buns
and sandwiches. He is the son of
the late Thomas A. Kenny, chief of
the Third Battalion, and a member
of the Fire Department for more
than thirty years.

At his home, which is distinctive
for its artistic decorations, there is
a curious blending Of fine paintings,
handsome, tastefully harmonized
furniture and hangings and OBJ
jects identifying the physician with
his hobby. The most curious group,
and one which Immediately takes

across the threshold of the library
on the second floor, is the telegraph
signal which is always in service.
This group occupies the angle
formed by the south and east walls
OF the room. Above a miniature fire
truck, and oddly contrasting with 1t,
are copies Of two Rembrandt paint

An Alarm Sounds

An Alarm Sounds
A "call" came in over the tele-
graph just. then and for several Sec
onds the only sounds heard in the
room were the regular beats Of the
subdued signal on the sounder and
bell. The physician waited in silence
until convinced the summons did not
require his presence and then he set
tied back in his chair, awaiting the
further questions Of his visitor.
"Why am I a buff he asked. rs-
peating a question. II have fre-
quently been asked that and I
always reply that l do not know. I
never watch fires. I've simply
formed the habit Of going to them
and when go I look around Tor
something to do"
Once again the signal gave its
warning and again the physician
fell silent. Few persons not in the
Fire Department or associated with
it in some way have any idea of the
number of fires that break out in
one day in city as large as New
York, and few hours spent within
earshot of receiving signal station
is an instructive experience. In the
two hours on the particular night
the representative of the Sunday
Tribune chatted with the physician
no less than four alarms came in.
DR.. Archer admitted that in his
thirty-four years of voluntary serv-
ice in the Fire Department he had
attended something like" 5000
fires and disasters of various sorts
at which the assistance of the Fire
Department was required, and that
he had treated something like"
$4,000 persons who had been injured
and overcome by smoke. The num-
Der included men and women hurt
in the collapse Of subways under
construction and in other big acci-
dents.
