FIRE PROTECTION
MOVE IS PLANNED
Adverse Report on Hose
Wagon Given Congress
Heights Citizens.

The Congress Heights Citizens Asso-
ciation last night adopted a resolution
authorizing the secretary, Louis Gelb-
man, to write the District Commits
sioners in regard to the fire protection.
This motion was carried after a re-
port from C. G. Hultgren, chairman Of
the Police and Fire Protection Com
mittee, that the hose wagon now in
use is almost incapable of adequate
protection. He stated that in test
the highest rate of speed obtainable
from this truck was approximately Is
miles per hour and that on some Of
the grades 1t was forced to shift into
low gear.
This association also went on record
as favoring<the proposed bridge across
the Eastern Branch at the end of
Massachusetts avenue, but urged that
1t be placed there before repair work is
started on the Pennsylvania avenue
bridge. Mr.. Goldman pointed out that
it would alleviate the danger in which
the water supply would be placed.
The association also favors a bridge
at the foot of South Capitol street, or
vehicular tunnel connecting Hams
Point with the Naval Air Station.

NEW ORLEANS, February 13.-The
spirit of the Latin world that Jean
Baptiste Lemoyne de Bienville infused
into Mobile and New Orleans when the
Gulf Coast was but swampS and bayous
f1ared forth today in the annual Mardi
Gras festivity.
Here, and in Mobile, whatever cares
may be are forgotten in masquerade
drowned in laughter or Sublimated into
dance. For naught must prevail but
fantasy when King Felix sails up Mobile
Bay and King Rex parades down Canal
street here.
Mardi Gras itself goes back to the
miSts of Latin antiquity, but the carni-
walls here and in Mobile were started
something over century ago, when
French and Spanish were heard far
more than English in both cities.
Inaugurated in 1927.
The first street procession in New
orleans was staged on the Shrove
Tuesday of 1927 by Creole students just
returned from Paris, and similar cele-
bration of the day started in Mobile
about the same time.
Since many Mardi GraS societies have
developed, each with its court, its king
its queen, its rights, and other trap
pings OF lost romance. one OF the out
standing in Mobile is the Cowbellian
Society, and its name BELTS its origin
1t started one Mardi Gras night almost
a century ago when gay group had
the idea of visiting q hardware store
and obtaining cowbells to tell the world
that it was carnival time.
New Orleans Mardi Gras opened last
night with Momus, the god Of mockery,
heading torchlight procession.
Seated on his SeaShell throne, drawn
by two foamy white steedS of the deep,
MomuS broadcast in his procession q

The other rulers of carnival arrive
next week by grace of the secret heads
of the krewes of Proteus, Rex and Co
mus. who, with Momus, form the big
four divisions of New Orleans Mardi
GraS courts.
Each major organization Is said to
number about 400 members, while the
cost of each organization pageant is
said to average $4,000.
