Special Dispatch to the Star.
MCLEAN, va, OCTOBER 1.-THE Nc
Lean Fire Department has decided to
withdraw from the Arlington Fairfax
Firemen's Relief Association and to
initiate a movement for an association
of Fairfax County companies only. The
resolution severing relations with the
two-county organization was unani-
mously adopted Saturday night at the
quarterly business meeting of the local
Fire Department and auxiliary. The
secretary was instructed to inform the
secretary Of the Relief Association of
this action prior to the monthly meet
ing tomorrow night.
Long Dissatisfied.
According to Chief Beattie. this de-
cision is the result of dissatisfaction
brewing over a long period, but brought
to head by the action of several mem
bers of the Ballston Department who,
at the time of the fire which destroyed
the Fairfax Garage last month, were
said to have been under the influence
of liquor and to have attempted to
carry away drum of oil and other
automobile supplies Salvaged from the
garage.
Regardless of whether these charges
are correct or not" said Chief Beattie,
"our men resent the associations refusal
to investigate the charges and, If found
to be correct, to reprifnand the princi-
pals. To take the position that they
were merely naughty boys on a prank,
in which the association is not con-
cerned, is reflection on the integrity of
all the other members" he added.
He further stated that there was q
tendency among the Arlington County
company, which he said was contribut
and assistance given by the Mclean
company, which he said was contdibut-
ing not less than 500 a year toward
the association, in addition to the time
given by individual members in helping
with carnivals and entertainments BY
their withdrawal, the Mclean company
stands to lose an equity of approximate
~ $3.50 in the associations relief fund.
Invite Cooperation.
The officers of the Mclean company
were instructed to confer with the other
companies of Fairfax County to invite
their cooperation in forming an As
ISOLATION of Fairfax County firemen, to
concentrate on problems of local in
terest. 1t also was decided to make a
drive to have the Fairfax County
board of supervisors approve the fire.

for series of meetings in different Sec
tons of the county.
The first of these meetings VIII be
held Friday at Virginia Highlands, with
Judge Kirk Matthews of Richmond as
the principal speaker. judge Matthews
is a former Democrat, who has Joined
the Republican ranks IN Virginia.
Following Judge Matthews, C. G.
Berkeley, independent candidate for
attorney general, viii appear at the
Washington-Lee High School on Oc-
tober 81.
Three days later, October a., Col.
Jennings C. Wise, an internationally
known lawyer and orator of the old
school, will come to the county for the
first of a series of three addresses. AS
announced by j. E. Spaulding, chair
man of the Arlington County Repub-
lican committee, Col. WiSe's speech Will
be entitled Popular Revolution in Gov
ernment,' using the present detection
Of the Independent Democrats from the
regular party as an illustration.
On October 20 Col Henry W. Ander-
son, who is referred to as the "discov-
erer" of William Moseley Brown. inde-
pendent candidate for governor, will
speak somewhere in the county, pos
sibly at Cherrydale.
Brown 10 Appear.
Brown himself will appear for the
last speech of the campaign in this Sec
ton on November l, at the Washington
Lee High School. Local Republicans
will at this meeting attempt a monster
political rally In support of the coalition
ticket.
Booth Brown and Pollard have pre-
viously appeared in Arlington County
during the present campaign, indicating
in the minds of those who are follow
ing the race that this, the smallest
county in the State. is one on which
neither party can definitely count for
a majority of votes. Several rather des-
perate efforts by both parties have
failed to develop any particular en-
thusiasm here.
While it has not been announced. it
is presumed that Louis A. MacMahon,
Republican candidate for the House OF
Delegates, will be given an opportunity
to make short speeches at each Of the
planned rallies.

Helene and I decided today
that even though we are

difficult as is that Of some Of the
poor little rich girls we meet in the
shop. At least, we're Independent
and can do the things we want to
do and use our own judgment about
our clothes. our boy friends and our
recreation.
There are some little pampered
darlings that come into the shop
every day who can't do a thing with
out direction from some adoring
member of the family. One Miss in
particular, I feel terribly sorry for.
She's never allowed to buy the
clothes she'd like TO have. Mother
IS always with her and insists on
making the final selections. And
Nancy really has far better taste
than her mother has and would
really be an attractive and smart
girl If she could do her own select.

She makes faces behind mothers

Pam and I got the shock Of our
lives last week when Nancy came
strutting into the shop all by her
self. She invariably travels with a
keeper-if it isn't the mater. it's
some trusted friend or relative. She
was radiant that day. Her mother
had left town and somehow or other
neglected to appoint a companion,
so Nancy was so happy that she
might choose some clothes for her
self.
Well, she looked at everything we
had to show her. but she was afraid
to buy everything she wanted.
However, she did walk out with
an adorable pajama ensemble for
beach wear. They were simply
divine. The trousers and blouse
were fashioned Of yellow fiat crepe
