A Great Record
The Fire Department

The report of Chief Engineer Charles E. schrom on
the activities of the Fire Department during the last
fiscal year reflects the greatest credit upon the officers
and men under his command.
THE FIGURES CONTAINED IN THE REPORT ARE
A SOURCE OF REJOICING FOR ALI. WASHING
TONIANS.
THEY DEMONSTRATE THE VALUE OF AN
ALERT COURAGEOUS, WELLMANNED AND
WELLTREATED FIRE DEPARTMENT IN COPING
WITH DANGEROUS AND CAPRICIOUS ELEMENT.
According to the report, although there in
in the number of fires in the District during the
year, the fire loss only $295,389, decrease Of
$117,466 compared with the previous year.
While it is unfortunate that greater number of fires
should have occurred the fact that the loss held
below that of the preceding year speaks we'll for the
ability of the department.
There is section of Chief schroms report which de-
medal action.
That is the section which deals with the alarming
dtion of much of the apparatus upon which the depart
ment is dependent.
The department. the report states is under distinct
handicap by virtue of the antique equipment which is
now in use.
The report goes on to say
"Old Worn-out, obsolete machines in should
be replaced, and ample justification for large appro-
priaons for this purpose could be furnished 1t has
been the departments experience that IS years the
maximum length of time piece of fire apparatus
should be kept SerUice but during the coming fiscal
year many pieces OiH be older than this limit"

the Tories, a man whose vanity,
weakness and incoherence will
be the nations undoing if he
continues in office"
The moves are having their
troubles. The brow of Mr.. Will
Hays, who was a useful servant
of the industry, and never its
car, is furroWed with care. The
edict has gone forth that sin
must go and sex be chucked
into the ash can. All of which
must cause smile to fit across
the classic countenance of about
the only successful censor the
movies ever had.
1t is true that he operated
in a local and restricted terri
tory, but his word was law.
John Michael Casey, once ON
nipotent ruler of the galloping
tintypes in the city of culture,
where Cabots speak only to
LoWells and LoWells speak only
to God. is retired, for age, on
pension; but there was a day
when he stirred heartfelt cuSs-
words from the boiling emotions
of Hollywood motion picture
magnates and theatrical pro-
ducerS.
For to John Michael Casey, in
his omnipotent post as purifier
Of the stage and screen, sin was
sin and legs were legs, no two
ways about it-no lights and
shadows, no getting away from
it by calling 'em limbs. At 10,
he tells us that Nothing shall
be placed upon the stage or
screen to which you could not
take your wife, mother or sweet
heart"
With that as his guiding rule,
John Michael Casey calmly de-
leted scripts and captions, de-
creed stockings for bare legs and
union suits for step-ins. Like
Horatius at the bridge, he barred
the way to Boston for "Sappho."
"Salome," THE Easiest Way"
The Girl from Records" and
Eugene O'Neill's Strange Inter
lude."
In his younger days he was an
orchestra trap-drummer, vo-
cation which seemed eminently
to qualify him for dictatorship
of the theater.
Boston adopted an ordinance
strictly regulating pubic amuse-
ments. John Michael Casey,
then a messenger in the
mayors office, promptly assert
ed his competency for the post
of chief of the licensing divi-
sion.
That was 26 years ago, and
ever since then, Casey went to
bat whenever a show of a pic
ture turned up in Boston
that offended his sense of pro-
priety. His dictum was law.
Nobody in the country had
such local power over stage or
screen. And Boston is still
dering: after Casey,
mighty Casey. who?'

An Impudent Demand
Local Appointments

If there is of courage in the District Building
Representative Tom Blanons demand that one OF his
Abilene TeX constituents be made attorney Tor the Aco
holic Board will be summarily denied.
OF ALL THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS THE
"BLATANT BLANTON' HAS THE LEAST RIGHT
TO ASK FAVOR OF THE TAXPAYERS OF THE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
By means of a secret agreement he forced upon the
liquor board A. M Howsley, who came here from Texas
to take the job attorney for the board few months
later Mr. Howsley resigned and went back to Texas.
Now Mr.. Banton writes to District officials plainly
indicating that he believes the appointment of the attor
ney for the beverage board has been given him IN per-
petuity and that he will hereafter the incumbent
Further he proceeds to name him. And the man he
names is practcing lawyer in Abilene He may be the
best lawyer in that great metropolis He may be the
best lawyer in Texas
If he is he should stay there and practice law
NEITHER MR. BLANTON NOR ANY OTHER MEM
Der OF CONGRESS HAS THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE
AN APPOINTMENT OF THIS KIND UPON SEEM
INGLY HELPLESS WASHINGTONIANS.
We have about twenty obless in the District
already. We have of young lawyers who are
struggling to get chance to practice their profession.
Surely we can find Washingtonan who pays taxes
here who understands local needs and conditions
to fill this job just acceptably the attorney from
Texas.
THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS MAY HESITATE
TO DENY REPRESENTATIVE BLANToN WHAT HE
APPARENTLY THINKS is HIS PREROGATIVE BE-
CAUSE OF FEAR OF REPRIsALS.
THAT WOULD BE ABSURD THE COMMIS-
SIONERS CAN FEEL ASSURED THAT REPRE-
SENTATIVE BLANTON WILL DO HIS WORST BY
THE DISTRICT WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER
HE PUTS IN HIS CARPET DAGGER OR NOT.

From the wilderness cries a
voice to England: Il fear there
is not merely the possibility but
the probab ility that we will have
changes of a revolutionary char
acter before long" 1t is the
voice of Viscount SnoWden of
Ickornshaw, the message of his
SEVENTEEN birthday and the an
nouncement of his return to &C.
tive political life.
He leaves his garden and his
books behind and hobbies back
into the lists on his clutches to
do battle with the MacDonalds,
the BaldWins and the Chamber
lainS.
my fear of revolution" he
says, lis based on the failure
of Parliament to function prop
erly and, secondly, on the fact
that the class war and expro-
priation of the propertied classes
is now being preached every
where, and is arousing the fears
of everybody who has anything
to loSe."
An indomitable will and q
fine mind in a fraiI and hope"
lessly crippled body-such is
Philip Snowden, teacher, insur.
ance clerk, civil servant, Social.
list, Chancellor of the Exchequer
and peer of the realm. When
he was tWenty-Seven a bicycle
accident made him cripple for
life and scared his face into a
gnome-like mask.
It robbed him of a livelihood
and left him helpless for several
years. He could do nothing for
his body, but did much for his
mind, deVoting his time to a
study of government in the So
cialiStic vein, which was attract
ing many others in those days,
including George Bernard Shaw.
He took to writing and to
politics. Long before Pussyfoot
johnson and Lady Aston. he was
the champion of the temperance
forces in England. He was a
marked man from that day. but
his enemies learned to fear and
to respect the sting of his
tongue, the cold logic of his ar
guments, and they came to
know that he was both daunt-
less and incorruptible.
He got to Parliament and,
shoulder to shoulder with Ram
say Macdonald, fought the
cause of the labor party until
the day that saw the fate Of
the empire in their hands. with
Macdonald as Prime Minister
and Snowden as Chancellor OF
the Exchequer.
For all his socialistic leanings
it is England first and always"
with Philip SnoWden. Two
years ago he led the socialist
revolt out of the nationalist
government, branding Mac
Donald as a traitor who had
gone over to the conservatives.
The break came over the agree
ments reached at the Ottawa
Imperial Economic Conference.

How To Be a Spinster

single-blessedness that it may
not be out of order to suggest
a few simple rules as a guide
to spinsterhood.
All that girl need do in
order to insure herself against
marriage is to make all the
mistakes that her m a d e n
aunts made, plus a few which
modern women have added to
the list.
First-be sure to cultivate
POSE. Any pose will do-Greta
Carlo, Naughty Hannah, Gush-
ing Cert or Icy Isabel. A pose
is as flimsy as cellophane, as
obvious as a black eye and as
boring as the fifteenth repetl-
ton of a stale joke. Nothing
will destroy a girls ut" so
quickly as the self-conSciousness
which accompanies a pose.
Second, always assert your.
self. Every very young girl
feels that she simply MUST
express herself-whether or not
she has anything interesting to
express. 1t is only after years
have mellowed her that she dis
covers that no man loves a
woman for her Opinions out
only IN spite of them.
Third, don't fail to assume
a cynical attitude. This will
gain you a reputation for ultra
sophistication-and will frighten
off any man. 1t is a woman's
favorite way of cutting her
throat with her own tongue;
since it is much more flattering
to let a man think you a trust
ing little moron than to let him
know that his line is not get
ting by.

Two Governors Suffer Defeat
Rx I.poee T Williams Ir

Trading the office of Gov
ernor of a sovereign State for
the office Of Senator of the
United States is forbidden by
the constitution of one State
and is more and more being
frowned upon by the people Of
other States of the Union.
The constitution of the State
Of Utah forbids a Governor of
that State during his term of
office becoming a candidate for
the United States Senate. But
for this ban Mr.. Dern of that
State would probably have Sep
ped from the office of Governor
to that of United States Sena.
tor instead of into the Cabinet
of President Roosevelt as Sec.
rotary of War.
Two Governors seeking the
Democratic n o m in a on for
United States Senator have just
been defeated in the primaries
Of their party-Governor White
of Ohio and Governor Bryan
of Nebraska.
Other Factors
Other factors doubtless en-
tered into the defeat of each
but in both cases there were
probably many voters who
thought it unbecoming to turn
the office of Governor into
Senatorial candidates political
headquarters. 1t put the ether
candidates for the Senatorial
nomination at an unfair ad-
vantage. because they lacked in
their campaign the power and
prestige that the office of Gov
ernor carries.
There was similar manifesto
ton of popular disapproval in
the State of Montana last
month. In the Democratic pri-
maries for United States SEN
ator the voters of his party re.
fused to nominate Senator
Erickson for the seat in the
Senate which he now holds on
appointment of the governor.
Apparently the people of Mon
tana resented the trading in
two of their highest offices
which they believe took place
at the time Senator Walsh of
Montana resigned to accept
President Roosevelt's appoint
ment as Attorney General-and
died on the eve of the Inaugural
ton.
Governor Erickson resigned
his office, the Lieutenant Gov
ernor succeeded to the governor
ship and then appointed his pre-.
decesSor to the seat in the Sen
ate vacated by thu resignation
of Senator Walsh.
This sort of trading in the
offices of the people may be
technically within the terms of
the Federal Constitution but it
is not the normal method pro-
vided by that organic law for
filling either the office of gov
ernor or the office of United
States Senator.

Where Governors White and

Is, having been elected to that
office in the preceding Septem-
Der, and on January % was
elected to fill a vacancy in the
United States Senate.
Senator Russell of Georgia
enjoyed a tremendous advan-
tage over Congressman Crisp
from Che day their primary
contest for the United States
Senate started, owing to the
fact that as governor Mr.. Rus
sell had at his disposal the
power and prestige of that Of
flee and the support of the
State organization. This was
probably the decisive factor in
Senator Russell's victory.
Governor KeyeS, of New
Hampshire was elected to the
Senate while in the office of
governor and there have been
many other cases of the same
sort. But the more the people
see the office of governor used
as stepping stone to the
Senate the less they like it.
1t defeats the fair contest
which the rimary was devised
to provide. 1t is contrary to
the whole theory of American
Government.
Voters Condemn
After an American citizen has
been elected Governor Of a
sovereign State he is supposed
to be the Governor of all the
people of the State and to ad-
minister that great office solely
in the public interest.
No Governor can do that who
is at the same time conducting
a campaign to nominate him
self as the candidate of his
party for United States Senator.
1t is as impossible to be an
impartial Governor while run
ming for the United States Sen
ate as it is to be an efficient
Postmaster General while hold
ing the political office CT chair
man of the national committee
and chairman of a State COM
mittee of the party in power.
What the people of Utah have
forbidden by means of a pro-
vision in their State constitu-
ton the people of Montana,
Ohio and Nebraska have con-
demned by their votes at the
polls at recent misunderstanding
the power of the office Of Gov
ernor to obtain a seat in the
United States Senate.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
By Helen Rowland

Fourth, always be the life OF
the party! Never fail to be
there with a Snappy comeback
or a scintillating WiSecrack.
Being funny" is still tradi-
tionally a mans prerogatiVe,
and is endurable in a woman
only when she is on the stage
or in a story book. An eter-
nally wise cracking woman
simply strikes a man dead
but not with admiration.
Fifth, never give him a dull
moment. Or a quiet moment!
Talkativeness is a weakness of
most women; and a little mara
thon-talker is a deadly thing.
Many a beautiful and brilliant
girl has talked herself right out
of a good husband and into
eternal spinsterhood.
Sixth, always take a man Serl-
ously. Terribly seriously! You
can get. almost anything you
want in this world by going
AFTER it in deadly earnest
except a MAN! The winner in
love is always the one to whom
the game is least important.

These are the six most COM

girls have managed to escape

a spinster that any one of them,
