The general warned against inter-
nationalism and communism and
made an appeal to women to be
braver in their devotion to their
country than ever
"The shouts OF war have died away
and the sounds Of battle are still. but
gratelul country needs the aid OF
it's women as much today as 1t did
then" he said. woman must be
more fearless, braver and more un-
swerving in her devotion to her
country than ever. We depend upon
her support. her patriotism and her
moral grandeur just as we did in
the hours of visible danger.
above all her effort is essential
to keep the country strong in main
tanning the principles of her justice
and liberty, which underlie the foun-
dations of our democracy. Standing
unequivocally upon the rock of these
convictions. the waves of interna- =
tionalism and communism that seek
to swamp us in their food will beat
in vain upon the firm structure OF
our national institutions"

He represents the human element

vigilance as tester fire-alarm boxes

His place in the modern system of

walker, upon whose faithful vigil is
dependent the safety of the express
trains which roar over the rails.
For the past eight years Mr.. Griffin
has inspected every fire alarm box in
the District, making his long rounds
on foot. He has never had time to
calculate how many miles he has
walked. but they mount into the
hundreds.
Tests More Than 900 Boxes.
There are more than 900 alarm
boxes under his care. 1t takes him
from six weeks to two months to visit
them. When he has completed one

and cleaning each box, testing its
mechanism, making certain that 1t is
in proper working order. He tests
about 80 boxes a day.
When Mr.. Griffin reaches box he
opens it and signals the fire board,
the nerve center Of the Fire Depart
ment. at the District Building, using
a telegraph key within the box. After
tapping his signal he waits until a
little bell within the box sounds the
answer from headquarters that his
signal has been heard.
Then, still using the key. he taps
the number of the box, giving those
in charge at the fire board an op'
portunity to anticipate his next action
and switch it on a circuit which will
preclude the danger of test alarm
calling out the fire companies. Mr..
Griffin then abandons his hand signal
and turns in an alarm In the regu.
lation manner by pulling down the
'hook' and letting 1t go. One round
sounds at headquarters and If 1t is
sent properly a signal is given that
all is well and that the fire-alarm
box is In working order.
The tester overlooks no detail of the
