IMPROVEMENTS
In FIRE DEPT.
New Buildings, Alarm Sys-
tenn and Men Drill
ed Here

The local fire department should
become one of the best equipped
of its size in Texas when projects
now under way are completed. The
three stations are housed in modern
structures. their equipment is in
rood condition. the men r well
trained and at present a l0O-box
fire alarm system is being installed.
In addition. the large hook and lad
der. now used only in emergencies,
will make all runs in the business
district in the near future.
The fire alarm system will give
protection to all parts Of the city.
All outside wiring has been strung
and the central office equipment in
the three stations has been installed.
All that remains to be done is to
erect the remainder Of the fire
boxes.
This system will turn in alarms
at all three stations simultaneously
giving the box location and the time
in addition to sounding warning
Congs. Each Of the boxes are num-
bered and the firemen know where
each Of the numbers r located.
Consequently firemen expect to
avoid calls to the wrong places in
the future. IN the past the de-
partment has been hampered by the
lack Of systematic street naming and
numbering.
In addition to these improvements
in equipment Chief Roy Weller is
training the firemen intensively.
The force is now believed to be
more efficient than ever before due
TO the training.
"A regular course Of instruction
and training is prescribed for nov
ices that covers about six weeks.
During this period the newcomers
are on probation. The chief passes
Judgment on them as to their abili-
ties at the end Of the time.
The instruction given these is both
theoretical and practical. They are
taught the various equipment. its
use, and are taken on practice runs.
Lines are run. hose carried up lad
ders, jumps made into life nets.

A New Vision in Business

Business is of two types. The
old style simply capitalizes its op-
portunities through economy Of
operation and efficiency in dis
tribution. The new style does
these things, and, in addition,
creates new and larger opportuni-
ties by improving the economic
environment in which it operates,
thereby benefiting not only itself
but all other business.
Along with the airplane, which
reduces distance: radio, which
facilitates communication; X-ray,
which reveals mysteries; and in
duStrial chemistry, which solves
many problems, has come a new
vision in modern business, which
multiplieS buying power and pro-
notes economic ease.
Fenner and Beane, stock and
commodity brokers, have devel-
oped this new vision to high de-
gree Of efficiency. Not only that,
but they are directly encouraging
other large business enterprises
to engage in similar development
work for the civic and economic
betterment Of the several States
and trade centerS, under the
sound theory that concert Of con-
Structive action will benefit every
body.
Several years ago, Fenner and
Beane created an economics de-

OF the spirit Of one industrially
enterprising Southern town, a ma
tionally circulated Fenner and
Beane report recently said: In
the presence of such a spirit, in
dustry feels safe"
Three Southern towns, occupy
ing the same trade territory, were
working independently in an ef-
fort to draw industries. Contro-
versy kept industries away, while
cooperation might have drawn
them. A simple suggestion to the
three towns to cooperate in be-
half Of the region so that there
would be more new industries to
peacefully divide among the
three, resulted in a new and more
effective spirit, with beneficial
results.

partment and equipped it to
make comprehensive studies OF
the various States and localities
from which the firm then drew,
or hoped to draw its business, for
the purpose, first, of revealing
the possibilities of the several To-
calitieS, and, next, to learn what
might be done to develop exist
ing opportunities and to create
new ones for the community at
large.
In many cases trade centers
are so close to their immediate
problemS-the effects of causes
that they do not fully understand
causes themselves-the economic
relationship between community
and region, and between the re-
gion and the country as a whole.

Washington's Beautiful
Abbey Mausoleum an
Imposing Edifice

Within the shadow of the state
ly monuments that a grateful ma
ton has reared in memory of her
departed sons, the Abbey Mauso-
leum, an imposing white temple
Of imperishable granite and mar
BILE, stands against the skyline and
constitutes q holy shrine where
your beloved departed may rest
in eternal peace.
Wherever we find any accom-
plishment that answers a public
requirement, we are glad to num-
Der those engaged in it's promo
ton in this series. The Abbey
Mausoleum opposite Arlington
Cemetery and with it's Washington
office at 1000 Connecticut Ave,
is a modern burial edifice of which
the people of Washington might
well be proud.
This modern structure OF rare
beauty is erected on a tract Of
land adjoining Arlington Gene
terry. It is built of granite and
concrete, with white marble in
terror, art glass windows, copper
and bronze doors and forms an
ideal building for the burial of
the dead.
It's beauty and perfect santa
ton give it a prominence as the
most desirable site in Washing
toms vicinity for above ground
burial. Abbey Mausoleum, Inc, is
owned and managed by local bust
ness men. and they are to be com
mended for offering the people Of
Washington such decidedly i'm
proved modern burial facilities.
A limited number of single,
double and family burial spaces
are now available at prices that
compare favorably with ground
burial. The plan of management
is unique, but most practical and
attractive, and full information is
gladly given upon request.
This location should make di-
rect appeal to all people here.
They have long desired a mauso-
leum of this description but
scarcely believed such beautiful
and imposing edifice would be
erected 50 close by.
The Abbey Mausoleum is open
for inspection at all times and
representatives are there every
Sunday or by appointment at
any other time. To the officers,
