least 20 miles better might be really surprised
to know that the hrst trains that ran into
Washington operated at q speed Of only mile
in three minutes. and that If a stop had to be
made In order to take on passenger an addi-
uonal minute was required to make the mile.
But this was unusual speed for that date and
was sufficient at least. Is 1t proved considerably
more attractive than did the stage which took
much more time than did the locomotive TO
negotiate the same distance. That It proved
profitable may be judged by the fact that during
the FIRST four months the travel averaged 400
persons q day. and that the receipts for the
same number Of months during the following
year were: April, 81, 30: May, $22. le9. As;

OF Course Smart Dog
Knew Telephones Uses

Evidently Dynamite is well named
not the explosive, but the six months
old terrier in Denver which was cred
fled with telephoning the police to
liberate him from jewelry store
where he had been inadvertently
locked in.
It seems that Dynamite fell asleep
under a counter when his master was
making purchase. He failed to wake
up until after the store was locked
for the night. When he did awake, it
was to find the place in darkness. and
banks and bowls proved Of no avail.
Finally he jerked the telephone to the
floor, thus releasing the receiver from
the hook and signaling the operator.
She heard the dogs bark and notified
the police, with the result that the
riot squad FASTENED to the scene.
Whether or not the dog knew what
he was doing when he "telephoned"
for help the police are at loss to
determine, but the owners of smart
dogs will believe that he did know
what he was doing.

Plan State Fire College

Plans for establishing State Fire
College in Maryland for the training
OF the volunteer firemen of the State
in modern fire-fighting and fire-pre-
venting methods were discussed at a
conference at the office OF the Fire
Board of Baltimore recently. The
college probably will be at the Uni
versity of Maryland. The conference
was opened by Mr.. Hough. DR..
Pearson was elected chairman and
Chief Fisher, secretary.
In cooperation with the National
Fire Waste Conference there has al
ready been established such fire COL
leges in twenty States, and it was
announced that eighteen additional
colleges are to operate courses in
modern fire fighting and fire preven-
tiou methods this year. In most cases
the colleges are under the supervis-
ion of State universities

Variation in Stars

These words 'giant" and "dwarf''
stars have reference to intensive
brightness rather than to mass, though
differences in volume are involved.
One theory of star evolution is that
in the beginning all stars were of gas
of extraordinarily low density and Of
low temperature and surface bright
ness. Such are the red stars. They
contract. grow continually hotter. and
pass through successive stages toward
the white-hot state, although not all
stars reach that state. The stars I'M
dergoing these changes in the ascend
ing branch are chiefly giants. After
ward the stars begin to fall off in tenn
perature and luminosity and gradually
pass to the red stage and then to in
visibility. The stars on this descend
ing branch are termed dwarfs.

Fighting Forest Fires

The majority of people believe for
est fire fighting to be just laborer's
job, but nothing could be further from
the truth. 1t is on a strictly scientific
basis and nothing is done at random.
There is a definite system of organi-
cation which designates to each man
a certain tool to use and a certain
position in the crew. The crews usu-
ally consist Of from 6 to IL men, I'M
der supervision Of a warden or
ranger. On a small fire, ten acres or
less in area, one crew is usually
enough, but on large fires, anywhere
from so to 300 men, are employed. The
implements used, are axes, brush
hooks, shovels. rakes, water tanks and
torches for setting backires. The
proper use Of the latter is the best
means Of controlling forest fires.
