OUR R0TAR|ANS
STIR THINGS At
ATLANTIC CITY
Their Blue Hen and Chirping
Buttons Attract Attention
TO Wilmington.
THIS is BIG DAY AT
ROTARY CONVENTION
spec,n, D,spatch From stan Correspondent

Special Dispatch From staT Correspondent
Atlantic City, june 24.--The original
delegation of the Wilmington Rotary
Club has been increased every day since
Monday, and il is expected today that
probably 60 per cent of the members VIII
be at the con vention Many members who
could not come down for the week have
planned to Join the local club today. ms
same situation seems TO be true oi most
other clubs, for Rotarians continued 10
roll into Atlantic City yesterday afternoon
hy the tranload, and IT seemed that
ninetv-nine men out of every hundred
wore a Rotary badge of some sort. The
Boardwalk was literally iammed. Inc
bands paraded and the crowd moved along
as best it could, apparently intent upon
but one thing having n good time.
The Wilmington Rotary Club has un-
doubtcdly made its imprint upon Atlantic
City. The thousands of chirping buttons,
which the "Blue Hens Chickens nave
distributed, are heard everywhere. Every
one with Wilmington badge Is apparently
supposed to be loaded down with chirping
buttons and the request for one or more
comes not only from the small urchlns,
who are always found along the Board
walk. but from visitors from the North'
South, East and West The buttons have
undoubtedly made a big hut. They can
be carried in the hand, almost out 81
sight. and n person who isn't familiar with
them will wonder where the ohirp comes
from. They tell story that at the Tray,
more the other night the guests started
"chirping" in the diningroom and made
so much noise that the head waiter was
requested to put an end 10 lt-but natural
ly it couldn't be done.
The Blue Hens Chicken is another
stunt which has made the Delaware Club
rather well known along the Boardwalk
While there are thousands and thousands
Of chickens" of all sizes crowdlng tho

CITY TOO LARGE
FOR VOLUNTEER
FIRE DEPARTMENT
City Council Brought Face to Face
With the Situation at Meeting
Last Night.
FIREMEN TELL OF THE
MOUNTING COSTS
Result is Likely to be the Estab-
lishment of Paid
System.

Volunteer frcmen themselves called TOR
relief in the form of a paid hre department
last night when representatives OF the
companies appeared before City Council
Their announced purpose was TO ask Tor
an increase OF 81 500 in their appropriation
but the heartiest applause OF the evening
was called forth by William Nj. Conneliy,
president of the Weccacoe Fire Co, when
he said: "The coming of the MOTOR ana the
skv-scraper means the end OF the voiun-
teer system. After l45 years ot iaithiul

YOU want 10 give positive relief, establish

Mr.. Connely's s address was by no means
a criticism Of the service of his fellow volun-
teers, but an eloquent tribute to IT. lie

"Thc volunteer fire companies, he SAID.

of fire apparatus from the primitive We
hicles drawn by hand to the high-powered
motor trucks of today. For l45 years they
have done their duty well
But TODAY" Mr. Connolly continued,
1--WE are in new era. Crowded business
districts demand motor apparatus and
skv-scraper buildings call for trained 1fe-
saving crews. They have rung the kneli OF
the volunteer. The load is too heavy and
the way too hard. To continue the volun-
teer fire department in Wilmington would
he an imposition.
City Council, according to its custom at
the Wednesday meetings IN committee
of The whole, took no action on the petition
uf the fire companies and did not announce
any result of its discussion, President
George T. Lyon of the Council Indicated
the possible outcome, however, when he
said at the close of the hearing: As far as
am concerned, / know what the answer
will be. The budget has been passed.
William ]. Lutz, chief engineer of tn
department. was the spokesman for Fame

to the criticism Of the FIRE companies which
