 OF BUSY WOMEN
Feminine Leaders in Washington
 Ride Their Hobbies Hard

Washington, Sept. 4 (P-A garden of acres upon acre-spreading flow erfilled vistas threated with pictur- csque walks - tempted Miss Belle Sherwin. president of the National League of Women Voters. to retire to her suburban home near Cleve- land. Ohio.
 But her organization would not consider her resignation, and now a garden of only few squars yards, yet her own vine and fig tree" has rcconciled her to continuing public life in Washington.
 After four months leave of ab- sence, Miss Sherwin has joined the increasingly ilustrous ranks of women of national renown who have purchased century old houses with little colonial gardens in that his toric residential suburb of the cap ital city, Georgetown.
 She has engaged on the same ad- venture which has proven so inter- esting to Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCor- mick and to that inseparable pair. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt and Miss Anna Belle Matthews, remod- cling a very old dwelling to suit the owners taste and the modern mode of living.
 Representative Ruth Baker Pratt, of New York, also shared in this to the extent of leasing "Evermay" one of the most renowned of the old residences.

Added Equipment

Ingals continued to add equip ment, successively buying half-ton. ton, one and one-half ton trucks and finally his present truck which is practically the ultimate in fire fighting machinery.
 The newest truck, purchased last year, carries more devices than any other fire truck anywhere. the own CT believes. Some are developments of Ingals and others are standard manufactured articles. A few of the pieces of apparatus the casual ob- server notices are 750-gallon pump, a mobile deck gun, extension ladders, searchlights, floodlights, an inhalator. first aid kits and stratch- CTS, many yards of various seizes of hose and at least a dozen types of nozzle.
 Ingals has dubbed his outfit the Chaffinch Island fire department Recently he mailed cards to every family in Guilford describing the ap- paratus and urging that he be call ed in case of fire or live saving em- ergency.
 The only trouble with being a one-man fire department, Ingals finds is that it restricts ones social activities.

WEALTHY ENGINEER
 OWNS FIRE TRUCK
Offers His One Man Fire Depart
 ment to NeiShbors

Guilford Sept (UP)-Because Francis E. Ingals, wealthy retired engineer, one-time lumberjack and back-woods guide and mechanical genius, would rather tinker around with fire apparatus than play golf" this tiny shore town has what fire chiefs say is the best equipped small fire department in the United States.
 1ngals, a sun-bronzed man of middle age. told the United Press today the crcumstances which led him to make fire engines his hobby. He collects fire fighting equipment Just as other men of means and leisure collect antiques or paintings. He confesses to the thrill of the real collector" when he acquires a rare type hose nozzle or unusual search light.
 The conversation took place near his latest truck-one of five he has assembled here. The overall-clad owner proudly pointed out extraor- dlnary pieces of equipment on the huge, brass-trimmed red machine which he says fire chiefs have as- sured him is 10 to } years ahead of anything else of it's kind in this country.
 Night or day. telephoned appeal to 1ngaIs estate on Chaffinch Island, a peninsula, sends the big truck roaring out of it's garage with "Chief' Ingals and his only fireman, Duke, a bulldog. ready to battle Ho with the trucks inhalator and first aid equipment.
 Dog Chained to Seat
 Duke is an inveterate smoke eater" and never yet has missed a fire here. When the truck is in mo- tion he is chained to a special seat beside his master to avoid being tossed out on a curve.
 The services of Ingals' fire depart ment are free for the asking to towns from New Haven on the west to New London on the east.
 This is my hobby" Ingals told the United Press correspondent. I'd rather tinker around with fire ap- paratus than play golf True it keeps me pretty busy sometimes. but it's worth it for the enjoyment I get out of it.
 T got my first impression of the value of fire protection when I was out in the northern Wisconsin woods lngals related. Although I was born and reared in Chicago, spent some years when l was young man lumberjacking and guid- ing. One night the hotel in which ] lived burned down because of lack Of adequate fire protection
 When l first moved here I needed fire protection for my own place, so l fixed up an old Ford roadster as a fire truck. Frankly I realized if I kept the truck just for my own use 1t never would be ready when I

TODDY DRINKING SHOWS BIG DECREASE IN BOMBAY
Picketing of Rum shops By Gandhis Nationalist Volunteers Held Cause

 Indian women. some of whom have come out of Purdah, the an cient custom here of remaining al ways in seclusion, are given credit of cutting down the number of today shops scattered about the city, and especially in the cotton mill districts where a glass of the fermented palm juice costs about one American cent
 City officials, however, assert that the toddy shop picketing. entirely in the hands of the women, is only partly responsible for the reduction in toddy saloons. The real reason why such large number of drinking places have closed, the officials maintain, is because of lack of bids by a Parsee syndicate for the toddy shop licenses, dispute having arisen between the bidders and the govern- ment as to the excise duty which should be paid

NAVY men GOING
TO WATCH ECLIPSE
Expedition to Observe Spec
tacIe From Small Island
In South Pacific.
The Navy Department yesterday made

The Navy Department yesterday made
one of its first moves toward sending an
equipped expedition from the Naval
eclipse of the sun on lonely island IN
the Pacific Ocean in october.
The department ordered Lieut.. Henry
C. Kellers of the Medical Corps to be
detached from the naval home at Phil
adelphia about June 10 and come 10
the United States Naval Observatory
here for duty In connection with the
expedition. Lieut.. Kellers Is known as
a botanist and zoologist Of repute and
has accompanied prior expeditions. =,
The Naval Observatory expedition Will
be header by Comdr. Chester II. j.
Keppler, who Is now at the Naval War
college at Newport, r. I. He will come
to washington in q short time in con-
junction with preparations for the flt-
ting out of the expedition. Bevan p.
Sharpless, Junior astronomer OF the
Observatory, will accompany the ex-
pedition and intends to sail from San
Francisco July 81.
The naval party will set up its equip
slent on the lonely Island OF Niafou,
which Is located about 200 miles south
west Of American Samoa. This and
one other tiny spot Of land will be the
only land on the earth where good
view of the total eclipse of the sun will
be available. While there will be some
visibility at the small tip Of South
America, the shortness Of duration
makes 1t inadvisable to send men there.
On the island of Niafou the period OF
totality of eclipse will be about SO sec
onds. While the date on that island
will be october %, 1t will be october 81
In Washington, due to the difference in
time. Niafou observes time that IS IL
hours different from Greenwich time,
that Of London.
