II she followed her own inclination, she would
go back to the snow and ice Of her beloved
Sweden and stay there. The producers know
this So, when the Garbo walks on the set
and says, "Greta tired; Greta goes home now"
no one stops her!
When she went to Sweden for her first visit
home last Summer the studio executives took
precautions to insure her return by signing her
to q high-powered, ironclad contract.
Greta longs always for her homeland, for her
mother and brother. The death Of her only
sister in her absence came as a dulling blow.
Mauritz Stiller, her best friend and discoverer,
went back to Stockholm from Hollywood a
beaten man, and shortly thereafter died. The
double loss decided Garbo to go home. On ar
rival, one of her first acts was to place flowers
on the grave of the man she once described as
having "the most beautiful inside Of any per-

With . railroad trip to New York and an

question for the Garbo to go thus careIessly

strangely enough is Lilyan Tashman, the most
stunning looking woman in Hollywood, the
Garbo went to Howard Greer, cinema lands

From Mr. Greer himself the writer had an
interesting account of how the Swedish star
put herself completely in his hands. For her

Precautionary measures against the
possible outbreak of tong war in the
Federal City have been taken by the
local police, following renewal of
Chinese gang warfare in other parts
of the country. Headquarters detec-
tives last night were assigned to in
vestigate the situation in the Chinese

ment in that section. They also made
calls at the headquarters of the On

to be on the lookout of agitation and
pay strict attention to the movements
of Celestials. They were also instructed
to be on the alert for strange Chinese
who might appear in the Capital.
Detectives Harry A. Cole and w. C..
Curtis, who were assigned to inyesti-
gate the situation, reported that the
tong war would not break out here,
although one Chinaman said: You can

1O1 TODAY. VETERAN LIKES
READING, TALKING, WRITING
Three Daughters Bake Cake
for Mai. S. Willard
Saxton.
Walking and Light Eating
Secret of Long, Useful
Life.

Maj. S. Willard Saxton, veteran OF
war, Government service and life itself
is celebrating his 101st birthday today
at his home, 1347 Harvard street.
The years have dealt kindly with the
centenarian, whose interest in reading
or writing letters or conversing with
his three daughters and grandson has
not leSSened.
Maj Saxton is remaining on the
second floor of his home today, rather
than descend the stairs, and there he
is cutting the cake with its 101 candles
which his daughters have baked for
him. The three daughters and the
grandson were with Maj. Saxton today.
Is Enthusiastic Walker.
The major declines to hold forth
to any great extent upon the subject
of his longevity, but his relatives say
he has kept his health because he was
an enthusiastic walker and a light
eater.
Maj. Saxton was born August IS,
1929, at Deerfield, Franklin County,
Mass. His war service was begun
April 80, 1862, when he was appointed
additional aide-de-camp of the United
States Volunteers with the rank Of
captain. He performed staff duty in
the Department of the South from
April 80, 1862, to June, 1866, having
served first at Beaufort, S. c., and
later at Charleston, S. c., after the
evacuation of that city by the Con-
federateS. He was on the staff of his
brother, Brig. Gen. Rufus Saxton, U.
S. A., until January, 1866. In the

FIREMEN TRAINED TO AVOID
TRAFFIC TRAPS AND DANGERS
Engine Drivers Find Shortest and Safest
Routes, Never Collide or Become Bottled
in Alleys Because of Study and Care

Our men also are required to learn
the location of all alleys in their fire
district as well as to study detailed re-
ports of the larger buildings so they
may know where elevator shafts, cleo
tricity switches and skylights are stu
ated.
THE routes from the engine houses
to the boxes are chosen in such q
manner that none of the various pieces
of apparatus will use the same streets
at the same time, thus averting danger
OF accident from this source. All
drivers are given rigorous courses of
training in order that they may always
have their engines and trucks under
control, no matter what the speed"
Notice of Street Repairs.
Lieut.. Luskey explained that when
streets are closed for repair work, the
engine companies are notified i'm
mediately In order that they may
change any of their regular routes If
necessary. All f1remen are required to
attend school In their station houses
an hour each day in order to keep
in touch with such changes and to
brush up on the location of boxes,
plugs and gas lines.
Should We get call to the White
House." Lieut.. Luskey declared, 1--WE
would follow our regular route to that
point, which is out D street to Twelfth

WHY is it that fire engine drivers
always seem to know where they are
going and the shortest way to get there
why is 1t that apparatus en- route to
a fire never does get bottled up IN a
closed street?
Why do fire engines never run into
each other while hurting through the
streets at top speed?
Why do engines so seldom figure In
traffic accidents?
The answer to all these questions Is
that Washington's flremen-from the
raweSt rockies to the most seasoned vet
erans-are trained with the utmost care
to meet just these situations. The pow
ers that be in the Fire Department
never let up in their efforts to main
tain the maximum efficiency with the
minimum risk of personal injury.
Amazed by the apparent ease with
which fire engine drivers. find short
cuts to their destinations, never los
ing split second to decide which way
to turn, a reporter visited the station
house of No. 16 Engine Company, on
D street near Twelfth, today.
Men Trained as Experts.
How do you do it?" the newspaper
man inquired of Lieut.. I. w. LuSkey.
Expert training of all of our men
is the solution" Lieut.. Luskey explain
ed. You realize, of course, that all
the fire alarm boxes in the city are
numbered In addition, every fireman
on the force is required to learn speci-
fed routes to follow In going from his
engine hoIaSe to each box in his fire
