For Feather Symbols

No rare birds of radiant

Instead of invading q tropical

Knee Teachings

Children Applaud
Dogs Performance
Of Traffic Lesson

Out at the Lovejoy School, Twelfth
and D streets NE, the principal,
Mrs. B. B. Butcher, says the teach
ings of Knee-Hi, the canine traffic
safety instructress, should insure a
continuance of the record of no
traffic deaths to children in her
school for the three years she's
been there
Yesterday colored children at the
school stood at the corner applaud
ing enthusiastically Knee-Hi's per-
Torrance of the daily traffic lesson.
A resounding Eyes" met a query
from DR.. George E. Brunson, Knee
His master, as to whether the
kindergarten and first grade pupils
wanted pictures of the little terrier
who had just showed them the con-
sequences of crossing streets with
out looking, starting out from be-
hind parked cars, rounding the
fronts of street cars, hitching bicycle
rides on the rear of trucks and all
the other Things unWary children
are likely to do with sometimes
tragic results
Said Mrs. Butcher, after the safety
lesson: "A program like this is a
benefit to civilization. 1t capitalizes
on children's first love, pets"
Mrs. Butcher added there had
been no fatal accidents to her pupils
since she came to the Lovejoy School
three years ago and that she felt
sure the children, with Knee-Hi's
teachings in their minds, would try
hard to continue the good record.
Knee-Hi, who has been busy
sugar coating the pills of wisdom
for school children all over the city,
is being presented by The Star with
the cooperation Of the Board OF
Education. the Metropolitan Police
Department and the Department OF

Regular Replacing
Program; Reduction
In Stations Favored

Adoption of regular program for
replacement of fire-fighting ap-
paratus of the District Fire Depart
ment was included by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters in rec
lamentations to District officials
in a survey of proposed reorgan-
ization Of the departments physical
facilities, released yesterday.
The purpose of such a plan, the
board said in an initial statement
to Capt. Patrick H. Tansey, assis-
tant Engineer Commissioner, would
be to provide that none Of the
apparatus in service would be more
than Is to 20 years old.
District officials said the Fire
Department now had two hose
wagons, two trucks and 10 bumpers
that were above the proposed age
limit, in addition to the District
fire boat.
Is Second Report Submitted.
The report was the second re-
ceived by Capt. Tansey, chairman
of committee named by the Com
missioners to make a survey of the
department and submit recon-
mendations on possible consolida-
tons or relocations of fire stations.
The first, which included a list of
proposed changes in station loca-
tions, including some consultations,
came from the National Mutual As
ISOLATION, representing mutual COM
panies writing fire insurance here.
The report from the National
Board of Fire Underwriters, which
was signed by George w. Booth
and A. c. Hutson, suggested the
possibility of reducing the num-
Der of fire stations from SO to %,
but this was recommended as
part Of a long range or "ideal' pro-
gram.
Eastern Improvement Suggested.
The report suggested the reloca-
ton Of No. IA Engine Company, now
at Alb Eighth street NV, in the
vicinity of Fort Totten Park. I'm
provement of ladder company serv-
ice in the section east of Anacostia
River also was suggested.
Again, under the long-range plan,
the group suggested that proper pro-
lection could be afforded-were it
possible to secure suggested sites,
build necessary stations and to To-
cate companies solely according to
best advantage-by the provision of
only Is engine companies, 10 ladder
companies. 4 combination engine
and ladder companies, a fireboat
with skeleton crew and water
towers.
Slight Undermining Found.
The group found that, judging
from a report of Fire Department
personnel in service August 20 last,
none of the companies was over
manned and that many were slightly
undermined at night, due to grant,
ing Of vacation and sick leaves.
The report declared sufficient
numbers of company officers (cap-
tains or lieutenants) should be pro-
vided to have one on duty at all
times with each engine and ladder
company, or each combined engine
and ladder company. With the
present number of companies, this
would require. about 120 captains,
allowing for filling in vacancies due
to annual or sick leave. AS now
organized the department has IS
company officers and so sergeants
who are used as relief officers.
