Dal SeN AND PUTNAM NEWS

the equipment thatis to be turned ever to the state and $1,500,00 worth is for the mobile artillery regiment
 Some of the members of the Cap tain Put Engine company were wonder ing Tuesday whether there has been printed and distributed here or other wise promulgated a set of rules on How to Interfere With the Bremen"
 If these rules exist, as indicated by the practice of some motorists, they must read something this: "At the sound Of an alarm for fire, rush for your auto mobile and if it is possible get just ahead of the fire department apparatus and race it to the fire. If possible, have a car that can't make over 20 miles an hour, so your interference will be | effective.
 If you are fortunate enough to beat the fire truck to the hydrant that is to be used drive your car as close as pos sible to the hydrant stop your machine, put on the brakes and go away and leav- the car. Get as many of your motorist | friends as possible to do likewise. It is great joke to watch the hurrying fire men trying to fight their way through | mess of machines to get their truck to l q hydrant and screamingly funny if they have to stop and move a dozen or more machines before they can get the pump CT close enough to the hydrant to make l a connection"
 Remember that a fire is for your spe- | cial entertainment. If you can get any extra pleasure out of the situation by hampering the firemen, do not overlook the opportunity. Make things as diff | cult for them, so they may have an .op- portunity to show how good they are in | difficult situations. If they do man age to elude your vigilance and get to | a hvdrant with their motor truck before | yourself or any other motorist can pre- vent them. stick around the truck. get in l their way as much as possible, try the 1 valves and other appliances on the truck and make as much bother as possible for them. Crawling unled the truck to see whether the motor Is running on its rep utation also is good fun and pleases the | fremen."
 The fremen are getting big pay for their services, something like s2o year here in Danielson. and you are entitled | to see that they earn this vast sum, for if you gre an automobile owner you are assessed on the car and part of the money you put in goes to pay their sal | aries"
 %Ihe fact that hundreds of extra dollars worth of damage may be done to burning structure and it's contents because you hamper the f1remen should not interest you. If you are an automo. bile owner you are privileged char acter and entitled to park 1t in the state armory if it pleases you"
 All of which is inspired by the expe- riences of the fremen in fighting the fire at the Myers place, early Tuesday morning. The fremen complained tha Ithey had to move machines to get to tn, hydran. and were afterwards pesteret by persons who insisted in getting unde!
 foot about the big bumper.
