COMPETITION FOR
 FIRE HOUSE PLANS
Ludorf and Mckay Invited to
 Submit Specifications

Two architects, Henry F Ludorf and William Mckay will compete for the No. fire station job if they agree to such a plan, it was voted at a meeting of the board of fire commissioners last evening. In the event that one or both Of them refuse to enter into competition, u special meeting of the board will be called, probably tomorrow evening, at which time, one or the other of these men will be chosen to do the work.
 Commissioner Timothy Shanahan was of the opinion that there should be competition. Both sets of plans were studied last night and the members of the board expressed themselves as being well pleased with them. The only question is in regard to bringing the cost within the mark set by the appropriation. Due to the fact that both sets of plans were regarded highly, the board decided that in order 10 play fair to both men, they should be given 6 chance to compete.
 Chairman Cornelius J. Dehm and Chief William J. Noble were dele gated to wait upon the architects in order to ascertain whether or not they would be willing to compete. It was expected that the men would be interviewed today. If they are agreeable to the plan they will start work on the plans and specifications without further delay, but if they decide against such a plan, a meet ing of the board will be called to select one set.
 It was felt by members of the board that the losing architect in the competition should receive some compensation for his work, since considerable expense is involved in preparing the plans and specified

tions. The board voted to award the losing architect a sum not to exceed s100, this to be considered ample payment for his interest.
 The commissioners are anxious to start work on the new house as soon as possible and it is expected that operations will begin in the early summer.
 It was reported by the clerk that four men on the substitute force, who were notified to appear before the examining physician for re- examination, had not done so, be- cause it was decided to hold the matter up until 1t was determined whether the same physician would be retained by the new board.
 The men will be notified to appear before the physician at once and if they do not respond. they will be dropped from the substitute force. Chief Noble stated that they had been notified several times by the old board and that they had not paid any attention.

Legion Commander, Touring State, Makes Several Speeches

New Haven, May 27.-J. R. Me Quigg. national commander of the American Legion is preaching a doc Urine of peace, preparedness and patriotism in a two-days' visit to the Legion posts of Connecticut. Law and order also finds a promi- nent place in his address.
 Following a swing across the state on which he visited Bridgeport, New Haven, New Britain and Hartford on the first day of his visit, Com mander McQuigg's program called for a luncheon at Waterbury today and a visit 10 Danbury where he will take part in the dedication Of q new Legion home tonight.
 More than 1000 Legion members and guests In Hartford last night heard Commander McQuigg de- nounce what he characterized as ultra-paCifism and urge the nation to be prepared for any trouble that might arise.
 This nation is the creditor of the universe" he said. "and there is no love lost between us and our debtor nations, Some day we may have need for preparedness against these debtor nations The pacidsts are doing everything in their power to render us helpless. They seek to have the youth Of nation refuse to take up arms for their country. The trouble with them is that they make no distinction between war Of of fense and war Of defense"
 Earlier in the evening, the Legion head in an address in New Britain called upon the United States to take it's place with other nations in a permanent court Of international justice and expressed the hope that the court would be equipped with the necessary machinery to make its decrees effective.
 He denounced those men who seek

 Declaring that at no time has the United States ever used its strength in a spirit of conquest, Commander McQuigg warned that "the United States Of America will be ours only so long as the world knows we are ready and prepared to defend it."

WASHINGTON, Dec DRY navy?

This is the new, unofficial motto of

coast guard claims to save hundred
lives. 1AeP
Hurricanes came this fall to Florida,
the Bahamas and Cuba. In each in
stance the coast guard was ready to
lead the work of rescue and restora-
tion. With equipment and personnel
doubled for combating the smugglers,
the guard was in excellent shape to
turn to what it considers its para
mount duty, the saving of life and
property.
