Estimates Call for Increase
Of $112,568 Over Last
Year.

Drills.
DRILL TOWER NEEDED

The efficiency of Washington fire
department will be greatly increased
IF Congress allows in the next appro-
priation act the items recommended
by the bureau of the budget.
AS transmitted to the Capitol. the
District estimates call for $1.i13.S13
for the fire department.. an increase of
S112,56S over the current appropria-
lion.
One of the most important new
items in the bill is the $4,000 for a
modern drill tower and smoke-test
building. to be erected on North Caro-
lima avenue between 9TH and 9Th
streets southeast.
The fire department has been striv
ing for ten years to obtain an appro-
priation for this purpose, but this is
the first year the item has been in
cluded In the estimates.
To Watch Fire Hazards.
When Commissioner. oyster and
Fire Chief Watson appear before the
district subcommittees on appropria-
tions they will urge the retention of
this essential item in the bill
Tho Commissioners asked for forty
addlt1onal men for the fire depart
'nent, which request was reduced by
the budget bureau to lwenty-six. If
the lawmakers allow this increase in
personnel Chief Watson win be able
TO extend regular fire-inspectiou wor.
to stores all over the city.
CHIEF watson is "a great believer in
1he adage, IAN ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure" And
with this policy in mind, he has in
creased the number of men detailed
TO inspect apartment houses, hotels
schools and other institutions to To-
cate fire hazards and have them re-
moved The chief believes this work
should be further extended, and il
ne gets the additional men he will
use some of them for that purpose.
The estimates also carry recon-
mendauon for the purchase of four
pumping engines. one combination
chemical and hose wagon, one aerial
hook and ladder and one city service
truck. TO cost total of approx
mately $S5,OO0.
New Engines Needed.
Practically every company is motor
lied now. but a number of the motor
engines are of the old tractor tvpe
and should be retired. Furthermore.
the department is at present without
any reserve motor apparatus, so thai
large number of horses still must be
maintained for emergency use
II the additional equipment is al
lowed, the chief probably will put
some OF the older engines on the re-
serve list and put the new ones in
service.
II is Chief Watson's aim after he
obtains the drill tower to send each
company TO the tower at regular pc
riods and put them through i set Of

1t is the duty of every Jew to pur-
chase an esrog (citron) for the feast
of Succoth (Tabernacles). An esrog
is required to be perfect in appear
ance. Any spot or speck of a notice
able size is enough cause to disqual-
ify it from being used for ritual pur-
poses.
They are imported either from Pal
estine or Greece and the prices paid
for them range from So to $25
and 500.
The esrogim business is quite a
large industry, requiring considerable
capital.
A certain merchant who had in
vested heavily in this ritual fruit
found the entire consignment sent
him from Greece to be defective, all
having spots and specks, some large
enough to disqualify the sacred fruit.
Prospective customers who were
handed an esrog with some defect
naturally went to the rabbi for an
opinion Being true to his calling, the
rabbi invariably told his constituents
the truth.
The esrogim merchant came to the
"rov" and took issue with him on
this matter. Rabbi" said the dis
tressed man appealingly, "you will
totally ruin me. I've invested every
cent I had to accommodate my fell
low Jews and now I'm threatened
with ruin. Is this my reward?"
"I'll tell you what to do," counselled
the kind-hearted sage. "Henceforth
give your patrons two esrogim at a
time and when they come for an opin-
ion TIL simply state which I think is
the better of the two"
Thus the opinion of the rabbi did
not interfere with the sale of the
ritual fruit and the esrogim merchant
was saved from bankruptcy.

Witnessed
'' 1t is fine thing for the young
manhood of America declared the
president, to turn from the ordinary
engagements of the vacation season to
a study of military service and train
ing for service. I am not sure, how
ever, but you have profited quite as
well as your country-if my eye tes-
titles correctly you have benefited
from the physical training which al
ways means a higher state of Ameri-
can manhood. You have benefited by
learning discipline. You have bene-
fitted as all America might well bene-
fit, by learning little more impress
/, sively the obligations of the citizen to
his country
"Mr. Harding told the men that last
year there were only 1000 men in the
training camps, but that this year the
number had increased to $4,000, and
that if he could have his wish annual
provision would be made for 100000
young students. The training camp
idea has become a permanent policy
of congress, and it is probable that
future years will see still larger ap-
p,opria;ons for the purpose. With a
highly trained regular army to meet
emergencies as they arise, and to form
the nucleus Of a larger force that may
re needed for national defense, the
citizens training camps afford means
of keeping the country in high state
of military preparedness at minimum
Of expense.

cluded President Harding in his ad-
dress to the students, there is new
confidence, there is new belief in the
perpetuity Of this American republic,

ny of ready volunteer defenders as
you have shown us in this review.
Again my congratulations and my
gratitude for your country
Gas I watched the soldiers march,
Jack, I remembered that it will not
be many years before you will be old
enough to shoulder gun and become
one of the recruits at the training
camps. Every boy loves military drill
and I know you are active enough to
be just as enthusiastic about it as
anyone. Perhaps Freddie can go, too
and you and he will have some great
stories to tell those who had to stay
at home. Now run along to bed, fol
it is only sound bodies made so by
plenty of sleep, that are accepted al
