Columns of smoke went up, behind

Precincts Change, but Officer
KEEPS Same Beat 20 Years
Pvt. Campbell Has
Protected Homes of
Fumous Persons

Precincts come and go, but Police
man Beverly r. Campbell keeps
right on patrolling the same old
beat.
He has learned a lot about his par
ticular district in the 20 years which
saw it change from No. to No. 2,
No and No. 13 precinct.
Pvt. Campbells beat lies north of
S street between Connecticut and
Massachusetts avenues and Rock
Greek Park-an exclusive residential
area, home of former Presidents, Su-
preme Court justices and foreign
diplomats.
The officer is glad he was never
transferred when the precincts were
reorganized. He has come to know
lot of people by first name. Know
ing them, he also knows when they
leave town, how well their homes
are protected and other details use
full to law officer.
Joined Force in 1921.
Pvt. Campbell was assigned to the
beat when he Joined the force in
1921. It was then in No. 8 precinct,
whose station house on U street is
now headquarters for No. 13. Later
No. 8 and No. 2 precincts were COM
bined. Pvt. Campbell served six
months in No. ?, then several years
in No 8. In 1882 the beat was taken
over by No. precinct, and he re-
ported to that headquarters. Two
years ago the beat was assigned to
No. 13.
During this time, however, Pvt
Campbell kept his accustomed
rounds, along Massachusetts avenue
and the park to the bridge at Con-
necticut avenue, down the avenue
to S street and west to the park. In
this area the late Presidents Wilson
and Taft died, as did three former
District Commissioners. There were
seven embassies, including the
French and japanese.
Former President Hoover lived
there while Secretary of Commerce,
and John Hays Hammond once oc-
cupied the mansion now the home of
the French Embassy. Senator
Borah and other members of Con-
greSS lived there. Pvt. Campbell
had a speaking acquaintance with
them all.
Once Shot Burglar.
"It's district you have to watch
especially in the summer time" Pvt,
Campbell said Many families liv-
ing there go away for the summer,
but we try to see that no burglars
find easy pickings."
There are only a few stores in the
area, but Pvt. Campbell manages to
keep an eye on them also.
In 1925 he surprised two colored
burglars breaking into one of them
He shot one of them in the shoulder
and both were captured later. They
had records as professionals.
Mostly, however, it's a quiet dis
trict. Pvt. Campbell and his part
ners intend to keep it so, no matter
which precinct they're working for

{. u. Notes Demand
For Engineer Graduates

The need for engineers, architects
and other skilled personnel by
plants engaged in national defense
operations is reflected in the in
creased number of inquiries being
received at the school of engineering
and college of arts and sciences of
Catholic University from industrial
and commercial firms.
The demand for c. U. graduates
Is heaviest for engineering students
who complete their studies next
June, according to James j. BoWe,
associate professor of mechanical
engineering, who administers the
university's placement bureau.
Mr.. BoWe has arranged for sew
eral interviews to be held on the
campus by personnel representa-
tiveS of the larger industrial and
commercial firms who are seeking
men. He predicts that the seniors
who will graduate with engineering
degrees in June will have positions
waiting for them.
The demand for graduates from
the college of arts and sciences is
not as great, although the place
ment bureau has received requests
from employers for applications
from these students.

human life. Fire drills have be-
come a regular part of the school

out of doors in from one to five
minutes.
That was not always the case. In
times gone by, there were school
fires which took heavy toll. Some
one smelled smoke and there was
a cry of "Fire!' In panic, the
pupils would rush to the nearest
doorway. They would jam against
one another in halls and on stair
ways, and the crowding brought
about loss of time.

When pupils and teachers escape
safely, the first problem is to find

to build up a new school library.

North could have raised clubs over
Vests bid of one heart. but chose
to bide her time She knew from
her distribution and from the scor-
ing situation that there would be
other chances, later on, to raise
clubs.
Everything happened just as ex-
pected. And as the bidding devel-
oped, the North hand assumed more
and more strength. For the re-
peated diamond bids by East and
West made it a cinch that they held
nine diamonds between them
which meant that South was void.
The North South hands, therefore,
had no losing tricks in the red suits.
1t was q good bet that the black
suits we're within one trick of solid
fly, so the slam contract was amply
justified And it was only when
North redoubled that either oppon-
ent had any misgivings. But they
decided to stick by their guns and
South made an overtrick!
If North had raised clubs at once
East and West might have sus-
pActed the true state of affairs. A
sacrifice at six (or even seven) dia-
nonds would have cost them fewer
points than they actually lost.

Reviews Book for
Music Teachers

THE Young Cosima" by Henry
Handel Richardson, was reviewed by
Estelle Livingston for the Imperial
Valley Music Teachers association
at the meeting Tuesday night in the
studio of Oria Kenah, $50 Olive
avenue.
Mrs. Livingston gave brilliant
analysis of the book which tells OF
the early years in the life of Co.'S
cite, daughter of the great composer
Franz Liszt; of her marriage at the
age of 10 to Hans Won Bulow and
of her life with him up to the
time when she decided to leave him
for the famous musician, Richard
Wagner. The speaker emphasized
the fact that the book, aside from
its absorbing interest, it's story re-
vealing insight into the lives of
famous personages, is essentially
a subtle psychological study.
Mrs. Julia Bracket. president of
the association, conducted a brief
business meeting. Each member re-
sponded to roll call with a current
event, and the session concluded
with the serving of refreshments by
the two hostesses, Mrs. Bracket
and Mrs. Kenah.
