PARK RULE
Watson Says Present ReguIa-
tiop Allows Too Small Margin
for Answering Alarms.

George 8. Watson, chief engineeT
Of the fire department has requested
The Commissioners to amend the
traffic regulations SO as to permit
more space around fire plug to be
free from automobiles. During the
past months, numerous complaints
have been received from captains OF
engine companies over delays In get
ting into action, because Of auto
mobiles being parked too close to
hydrants.
Chief Watson has recommended
that the persent limit of five feet from
q hydrant be changed 30 that at least
eight feet on each side of the fire
hydrants, be kept free Of parked auto
mobiles. Some of the other officials
Of the fire department have suggested
that a ten foot space on each side OF
the hydrant be kept clear.
Most of the complaints against
parking too close to fire-hydrants
originate IN the business section.
Capt. Edward O'Connor, of No. 1 En-.
gine Company, last week complained
that in responding to q fire on e
street northwest between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets, has men were
compelled to move an automobile be-
fore they could attach their hose to
the hydrant.
In some of the cases, the fire cap
tains stated that they believed that
the automobiles were within the traf-
fic regulation, inasmuch as their ma
chimes were parked about five feet
from the hydrant, but on account OF
the angle parking, 1t was impossible
for the engine companies to get to
the hydrant.
The matter will be discussed at the
next meeting Of the Board Of Com
missioners, and 1t IL said that the
regulations will be amended so an
to allow more space for the engine
companies to get to the fire hydrants,

2-DAY HOLIDAY

Extra Period OF Relaxation Is
Thoroughly Appreciated
by Toilers.

Twas the day after Christmas.
and as quiet as the proverbial night
before ever was.
Washington is today celebrating
the finale Of it's Christmas 1921. and
the last of the two-day celebration
was about as quiet as any In the
recollections Of the oldest inhabitant.
1t might be due to the fact that
Washingtonians had two days In
which to celebrate the anniversary OF
the birth Of Christ, or II may be
the fact that most everyone slept
late.
To those who like to be abed late.
the deferred celebration of Christ
mas was the best present Of the year.
On most holidays there are church
celebrations which get one out of
bed about the usual week day time,
SO that for those who like to sleep
late there is not much use in having
holiday. With the exception Of
February %, Labor Day, and July
Fourth. most every holiday is also
a church-going day.
Veteran members Of the police
force said today that this Christmas
was the most peaceful they had ever
seen. True there was some drunken.
ness, but it was small in comparison
with the last few years, and not to
be compared at all with the pre-Vol'
stedian days. they said. While q
great amount Of liquor was sold in
Washington during the past week,
the prohibition agents and the police
were agreed that most of It was con
sumed in the quiet of the home and
there were no street scenes.
Another thing that helped to make
Christmas quiet was the fact that
SO many Government clerks took ad.
vantage OF the two-day -and-a <al1
holiday to spend Christmas at theN
own homes in the States. The rail
road traffic out of Washington Sat
urday afternoon was the heaviest
holiday rush In many years, ii was
said at the Union Station. while the
hundreds of country resorts in the
Blue Ridge mountains Of Virginia
offered a home-like holiday outing
for those whose homes were too far
away to be reached in a two-day
Journey.

TRIO OF ALLEGED FALSE
ALARM RINGERS TAKEN

Three colored youths who, police
say, have been turning in false fire
alarms in the last few weeks were
captured last night by police of the
Fifth precinct.
The three were standing near the
fire alarm box at New Jersey avenue
and e street southeast when 1t is
said they were seen to break the
glass and pull the alarm.
Policeman George Waite gave
chase, but was outdistanced. Later
Policeman North and Russell Joined
Waite in his search for the trio and
located them. At the station they
gave their names as Chauncey Ash
ton, fourteen years DID,, 43 Ivy

old, 20 r street southeast, and Law
renee Trimer, fifteen years old. 18 e
street southeast.
They admitted, the police say, that
they had turned in several false
alarms in the last few weeks.

A Newport News, Va, contrib,
who recently read in these columns
a poetic description Of Texas, sends
in some lines on the DEVILS con-
nection with the Rio Grande region:
So the devil took trip to look 1t this
region rough.
And told his friends II he took he was
surely stuck;
For after examining IL carefully and well
He concluded the place was too hot and
dry for . hell.
So just to be mean he put thorns on the
trees.
And mixed mp the land with millions of
fleas.
He scattered tarantulas along the roads.
Put thorns on the cactus and horns on
He iensthened the horns Of the Texas
steers,
And put an addition on the rabbits ears
He put little devil In the broncho steed,
And poisoned the feet OF the centipede.
Tho rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion
stings,
The mosquitoes delight you with their
buxxing wings;
The sand burrs prevail, and no do the
And those who sit down need half soles
on their pants.
There are other verses telling of
the beauties of the Rio Grande,
but except for the ailments men,

try seems to be all right.
