The Browning high school

Campbell agriculture instructor.
The boys IN agriculture classes
will repair machinery for any
farmer who cares to bring the

to the farmer will be for new
prrts. The number of machines
that can be repaired in this way
is limited. however. First come.

The high school shop will be
available for anyone to use in re-
pairing his own farm machinery.
The honrs will be from l to 6 p.
m. on school days and all day
Saturday. There will be n 0
charge for the use of the shop
ana equipment. The shop is
fairly we'll equipped with FORCES.
grinders. power drills. welding
equipment and tools not usually
found in the average farmers re.
pair shop. Instructions for ad.
lusting and repairing practically
any farm machine are available.
Anyone interested in either OF
these programs are to get n
touch with Mr.. Campbell.
Your country needs metals to
fight the war. You can help and
here ia how. War is fought with
machinery and metals must be
had to build machinery. Agri-
culture. too, Is dependent o.
machinery. but the welfare o f
the country is first. So it is farm.
er's and rancher's job to see that
all machinery is rerdy to do a big
job. Help agriculture to get
lined up in this press nt war
effort. Check all machines to be
used In 1912 and order repairs
now so that industry may know
what is wanted and the parts
may then be manufactured. Save
everything that may be disable
before you throw away old ma
chlnety, nuts, bolt and etc. These
are going to be harder to get.
There will be less machinery this
year. This means more use of
old and repaired machines. Farm
machinery manufactures are at
work on Jorge war orders.

Corporations Warned
On License DeadIine

Assessor E. A. Dent yesterday
warned all corporations, domestic
and foreign, doing business here
that. under a recent amendment
to the District income tax law, they
must apply for a corporation license
before April 8.
Applications for licenses are being
mailed to corporations listed with
the income tax division of the as
SCISSORS Office, but failure to receive
one does not relieve the corporation
from requirements of the law, Mr..
Dent said.
The amendment calls for a fine
of not more than $500 for each
violation; provides that each day
of violation constitutes a separate
offense, and the Commissioners are
authorized to revoke the corporation
licenses under certain conditions,
Mr.. Dent added.

the survey to determine the best
available buildings for shelter with
in the areas.
1t was emphasized that no new
air, raid shelters and no extensive

duction in large numbers will be
filed against the time proper au-
thorities decide new shelters should

engineer; % assistants to division
engineers, and 81 group engineers.
There will be group engineer
for each of the IS air raid warden
groups except for Midcity, Municipal
Center and Southwest groups. These
three areas. it was explained, are
considered so important because OF
the number and nature OF build
ings that a division engineer ana
eight assistants will handle the
studies there.
Schools to Be Studied.
The investigators have been asked
to give special consideration to
school buildings and to cooperate
with principals of the schools
in making plans for occupancy OF
the safest places in the school
buildings during afraid alerts.
They have been requested also
to cooperate with building wardens
and others desiring information as
to the best possible use Of exist
ing structures to minimize injuries
from aerial attack.
Some 225 engineers in the city
have volunteered for the service
after circulars were sent out to
about 800. The Executive Commit
tee appointed to advise the En-
gineer Commissioner on the or
ganization of the shelter survey

Alarms Interrupt Testimonial
Dinners to Retiring FIemen
Four Battalion Chiefs, Two Coptoins
Have Busy Lost Doy With Department

1t gets to be habit after 40
years-this business of having your
meals interrupted to go to a fire.
Yesterday it happened three
times, once at No. IA engine COM
pany, 413 Eighth street NV, and
twice at No. 2 engine house. 719
Twelfth street NV.
The occasions would have had
little or no significance on any other
day but yesterday, for yesterday
marked the final day in service of
six of the city's Oldest fire fighters
-Four battalion chiefs and two cap
tains returned to civilian life at
midnight last night under the Dis
tricts new 64-year Compulsory Re-
tirement Act.
Five of the group were honored
by their men with dinners through
the day while the sixth is to given
a testimonial next week.
Most interrupted Dinner.
Most-interrupted dinner of the
day was the one the men at No. 2
engine gave their battalion chief,
John B. Watt, veteran of AZ years.
Just as they were sitting down to a
meal prepared by Pvt. Nose Culver,
a lunchroom fire in the 900 block
of Ninth street NV. needed atten-
ton.
Returning after half hours de-
lay, the firemen settled down to
the feast. Then as dessert was
being served they received another
call-at the same lunchroom. Some
one seeing smoke coming from its
chimney thought the place was
ablaze again. Fire alarm head
quarters called it a needless
alarm" and the men at No. 2 engine
agreed.
The same fire delayed a similar
dinner in honor of Battalion Chief
Thomas B. Stanton who also has
spent AZ years with the department
On the needless alarm" however
the boys at No. IA were not ordered
out-they kept right on with their
party.
As Years In Service.
Dean of retiring firemen, in point
of service. is Battalion Chief Ed
ward E. O'Connor who next month
would have completed As years as
a fire fighter. Perhaps that was
why the dinner given in, his honor
at No. 2 truck. 1181 New Hampshire
avenue NV, ended without a fire
call.
