NEW FIRE AID
FOR TAK0MA

Fire departments in the COM
munities bordering on the District
are continuing to supply them
selves with more modern freight
ing equipment than their "big-
town" competitors.
The latest device for freight
ing has been acquired by the Ia
koma Park (MdJ volunteer de-
partment. It is a new type of va
por or "fog" hose nozzle, used in
extinguishing oil, gasoline and
similar fuel fires.
Capt. H. E. Marschalk, of No. 4
Company, Fakoma Park, explained
the nozzle is made to shoot an ex-
tremely fine spray, using only wa
ter, which tends to reduce the nor
NAL supply of oxygen in the water
and prevents combustion. III S
"fog" serves as blanket in extin-
gushing the fire. Captain Mar
schalk said that in the long run
the new equipment was more eco
nomical than the chemicals for
merly used in fighting such fires.
The nozzles sell from $45 to $40.
The Takoma department already
has purchased one of the cheaper
nozzleS and has ordered a more
expensive one.
Chief Charles E. Schrom, of the
District department, said chend-
Gals still are used by the local de-
partment in such fires. He said
the inadequate appropriations of
the department would not permit
purchase of such equipment, since
anywhere from 80 to so nozzles
would be necessary.

county. Mrs. Ross is painting the
outside of the house first. When
that is completed she will begin on

Mrs. Charles Stewart, who lives
with Mrs. Ross, is reviving the old

the Veterans Bureau Mrs. Stewart
lived in California where flowers
and grass grow without a struggle.
Now Mrs. Stewart is spending her
week-ends with trowel and shears
encouraging southern Maryland
shrubbery to act like 1t grew in
California. Some of the rose
bushes on the place are over a
hundred years old. Mrs. Stewart
thinks she can make them bloom
