as Five-Year Re-
cess Ends.
Ry the Associat ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
PEKING. July 31.-Chinas pariia-
ment is expected to convene here to-
morrow, its first meeting since 1917.
Upon its courage to proceed with the
reunited-china program hang the
plans and hopes of President Ii
Yuan-hung.
Today there was uncertainty
whether sufficient members would be
available to form a quorum, but
members who have arrived at Peking
asserted they would continue in ses-
sion until able to function
Problems facing parliament include
the depleted national treasury. dis
cord among the. provinces and hos
tility of the miAtarists. who do not
want their troops disbanded.
Ii Is Hopeful
President Ii described the situa-
ticn IS the gravest since the repub-
lie was established. He said he hoped
that with the reassemblins of parlia-
ment China's leaders would abandon
selfish ambitions and devote their
energies to stabilizing the country.
President Ii also wants parliament
TO decide his status IS president. He
said he was willing to retire if par
lament elects another man to the
position. In this connection Gen.
Tsao Kun and Gen. WI Pei Flu have
been mentioned.
Among the schemes which Presi-
dent Ii urges parliament to adopt
are included reduction of the l,50o.-
600 soldiery to a number sufficient
only>for defensive purposes. abolition
of the Tuchins and formation of a
federation of provinces under a
capable central government and the
reorganization of the nations forces
China will not be prosperous and
China will not be free of foreign
loans. President Ii declared. until the
provinces contribute their proper
share of payment toward federal ex-
penses. The majority of Chinese
newspapers consider the presidents s
proposals impossible for immediate
fulfillment.

D. c. FIRE FORCE
TRAINING PLANNED
Commissioners to Ask Ap.
preparation for Modern
Drill Tower.
TO TEACH BLAZE FIGHTING
Authorities Also to Request Sum to
Meet Expenses Of Summer
Fairgrounds at Schools.

Washington hremen will be thor
oughly trained in every phase of fire
fighting If Congress allows an appro-
priation in the next District bill for
the erection of modern drill tower.
1t Is understood the Commissioners
will insert this project in the new
estimates now in course of prepara-
ton.
Such a tower probably would be
about five or six stories high with a
small floor space and a stairway in
side. A fire escape usually is erected
on one side of the exterior.
Constant Training Possible.
With such structure the members
OF the department would be constant
ly under training in the art of ladder
climbing. dragging hose lines up the
fire escape and the stairway-in fact
every situation which might possibly
confront a fireman in. blazing build
ing could be rehearsed
OF course, the seasoned veterans of
the department who have gained their
experience by many real fire battles
do not need much training school
practice. But in Washington. where
big fires are fortunately few. the new
fireman gains his experience slowly
without drill tower.
Propose Summer Playground.
The Commissioners again will ask
Congress, it is believed. for an ap-
preparation for the operation OF
school Fairgrounds during the sum
mer months. In the current appro-
priation act the legislators allowed
$4,000 for this purpose. as result
Of which twenty-five school yards
have been thrown open to children
in neighborhoods where little other
play space is available.
AS a result of the opening of these
schoolyards more boys and girls are
being provided with recreational ac-
tivities safe from the whirl of street
traffic than ever before.
Pleased With Results.

vises the playground department Is

service this year.

and as you watch Sabre struggling
with some nameless fiend, you want
to ring the gong and tell them to &C

its keen and varied character studies
This book is the story Of Mark

You must admit. though, that you
