MAKING PHYSICAL
EXAMINATION OF
TOWNS FIREMEN
Blood Pressure and Strength of
Heart and Lungs Are
Being Tested
COMPANY HAS GAS MASKS

The "a members of Chapel
Hills volunteer fire company
are undergoing thorough ply
sical examination. This is part
of Chief John L. Fosters pro-
gram to make his organization
conform to modern fire-fghting
standards.
DR.. Eric Abernethy, DR.. Cal
vert R. Toy, and DR.. S. A. Ma
than have proffered their SER
vices and are carrying through
the examinations. Carl Viii
brandt of the University's chem
istry department is conducting
the tests of the masks that pro-
tect the firemen from smoke and
gas.
A set of firemen's masks of the
latest design have been bought
for the company. A dark and
nearly air-tight room in the
basement of the chemistry
building serves as a testing
chamber. After it is filled with
smoke and fumes, a fireman,
with his mask on, goes in. He
soon finds out whether or not
the mask is working properly.
Veterans of the world war will
not fail to recall passing through
a similar experience at the train
ing camps.
Another recent acquisition by
the fire company is a set of sal
wage blankets. These are made
of a fabric so treated that it has
the fireproof quality of asbestos,
and they are used to throw over
machinery or other valuable
property when the firemen start
in to drench the interior of a
building.
"The purpose of the examina-
tions now under way" said Chief
Foister yesterday, sis to find out
exactly the physical capabilities
of the men. They are being test
ed for blood pressure and for
the strength of hearts and lungs.
The reports of the physicians
enable us to know just what sort
of work each man is equal to.
For example, it may be that a
certain fireman is entirely'ft for
outside work but ought not to
go inside smoke-filled building.
Another man might be a good
man to scale ladders and han
die chemical extinguishers but
might not be able to life heavy
weights"

DOLLHG UP THE
VILLAGE AND THE
college CAMPUS
Better Sidewalk Facilities; Much
Planting Done by w.
c. COker
WALLS ON CAMERON AVE.

>Balmy weather has been
Chapel Hills great news sensa-
tion this week. The village
growled and grumbled over two
Snowstor1ms and a succession of
raw days in the first part of
the month. but a week ago it
began basking happily in the
sun. The elements softened
their touch and took on a smiling
and friendly mood in celebra-
tion of Collier Cobb's birthday,
the 21st.
Dolling-up is the order of the
day over the village and the cam
pus. R. R. Clark, the editor
sage of Statesville, made some
caustic remarks-all too true,
alas !-about the sidewalks of
Chapel Hill when he was here at
the newspaper meeting in Janu-
ary. Town Manager Knox and
w. c. Coker, respectively the
chiefs of the village and the
campus, today might be, if they
are not, saying: "Mr. Clark,
we dare you to take look at
our walks now!"
Mr.. Knox has had his street
force spreading gravel on the
low and the uneven places in the
village. And on the campus, on
both sides of Cameron avenue,
new walks of pulverized stone,
bordered by brick drains, have
been laid.
Mr.. Coker's planting force has
been busy, too. Shrubs have
been set out in front of the
woman's building and in the en-
trance court. The ground in
Battles Grove, along the Raleigh
road across from the Arboretum
has been leveled, seeded in
grass, and richly fertilized. Ter
racing has been done beside the
Old East and the Playmakers
Theatre. Stone walls have been
built along Cameron avenue near
the Carr dormitory and the med
ical and biology buildings.
Here and there, on the cam
pus, are seen freshly planted
trees, and there is one clump of
them in the northeast corner of
the women's lawn. The Japa-
nese cherries, set out year or
so ago in the dormitory quad
rangle, blossomed this week.
Where building operations are
in progress-as, for instance, a.
round the South building-it is
next to impossible to make the
campus look decent; but where
any sort of maintenance is pos
sible Mr.. Coker is seeking to
make the University grounds
beautiful.

Mountain of Ice
Found by WOrkmem
ON lame Deer Road

.WOrkmen digging sha1e for the
roads discovered a mountain Of
iCe'' about a half mile northwest
Of Lame Deer. The ice is mixed
with shRle and extends along the
north side OF a hill a short distance
from the highway.
Lame Deer already has an ''ice
we'll which has been a Mecca for
travellers and picknickers in recent
years. The old ice well is located
in an isolated spot about 10 miles
east Of the town. It is said to have
been discovered by a prOspectOr In
early days. It has been curbed and
maintains a frigid temperature in
the hottest weather.
M. T. Mitchell, Lame Deer miller,
noticed some of the Indians employed
on the road were eating ice in the
shale pit. Investigation disclosed
the fact that the shale they were
digging was frozen into the ice. The
extent of the ice vein is not known
but it Is thought that blasting will
prove whether the ice is general on
the hillside or confined to a small
area.

quality Of Montana turkeys. The
percentage Of No. 1 birds shipped
from the state is constantly increas-
ing due. to greater care in breeding,
feeding, packing and shipping.
This year It is estimated that
there will be fewer turkeys in Mon
tana for fall shipment. than last
year. However, there is a marked
increase in capOn production in
many sections of the state and this
is expected to bring the total vol
ume. of dressed poultry to about the
same figure as last year.
CapOn production is making par
ticularly rapid progress in Carbon,
Saltwater and Yellowstone counties,
according to Miss Cushman. Still
water expects to have at least a
carload to ship this year and there
will be nearly three carloads from
the three counties. Cascade, Pond
era, Teton, ChOuteau, Hill, Blaine,
Phillips and other counties also
will show marked increases in ca
pom shipments.
The interest in this specialized
form Of poultry production is well
indicated by the attendance at ca
ponizing demonstrations conducted
in the state this summer, says the
poultry specialist. Thirty Of these
demonstrations were conducted in
the three upper Yellowstone cOun-
ties during June and July and more
than 800 people attended and took
part. Such demonstrations have
been held in many counties Of the
state during the past three years.
and have been important factors in
increasing capOn production.
CapOns fit in well with TURKEY
production, says Miss CUshman, FOL
the reason that spring capOns fitted
for the January market help fill GU

consist Of turkeys left over from
the Thanksgiving and Christina
