PHANTOM FIRE ENGINES
INFEST TOWN, TT SEEMS

Have you seen the phantom fire
engines?
According to six subscribers they
are dashing madly around Con-
neeticut Avenue somewhere in the
vicinity OF THE Million Dollar
Bridge" like the "Headless Horse
man."
Officially they have no home.
The Fire Department disclaims
ownership and refused to acknowl-
edge that any of its engines have
responded to an alarm in this
vicinity. Business places near that
point have failed to notice any ex-
element, and nothing but a pail of
smoke over the city resembles any
thing like fire, but the calls to
the city desk continue.
If anyone has a penchant for
nice, shiny, red fire engines. and
can place one of these in captivity,
these seems to be nc one who will
question their ownerShtn.

Perhaps the most understandable OF

the one most nearly approaching ira

when the United States entered the
war. during which he served IN the
United States Navy. His training as
an architect Is shown In his render

has served to strengthen his drafts

beauty of buildings. During his years
in New York as an architectural
craftsman and designer he began ex-
perimenting with etching. giving to it
his free hours, and with increasing
success. After the war he abandoned
