The Heard Of Fire

MYTH the full support of local and State officials,
w Montgomery County once again is joining the ma
ton in observance of another of those weeks devoted
to matter that actually should be of year-round
to all of U.S.
It's National Fire Prevention Week-a period de-
signed to place emphasis preventabe hazard that am
nuay takes an appalling toll of life and accounts for
millions of dollars in damage throughout the nation. 1t
Is OF course good idea to try to focus attention the
menace of fire and ways to avoid it, although the wisest
course would surely be to remain the alert 50 weeks
of the year.
Be that as it may the week does serve useful pur-
pose If 1t observed intended Sponsors of Fire Pre-
venton Week attempt to encourage the ctzenry take
stock OF their surroundings conduct Investigations and
eradicate conditions that contribute the danger of fire.
II their detectives carried out during this short
week, 1t can go long way toward building barrier
against the fiery menace that properly erected should
provide substantial protection throughout the year.
Too, Fire Prevention Week is intended to be period
devoted to education about fire prevention means that
also can serve valuable yearround purpose.

THIS is an era in which Streetcar tracks are
4 being torn up for the more mobile bus,
but in September, 1889, a rather impressive
crowd gathered on Seventh street, between
F and streets NV. to watch men laying
cable for the Seventh street carline-
At this writing. there are still car tracks
ON Seventh street (belOw), but they are the
electric power tracks which replaced the cable
car system just as cable cars replaced horse
cars. Unless we miss our guess, two rows Of
horse car tracks appear (abOve) beside the
newfangled cable car installation.

The Changing Scene
By JERRY O'LEARY, JR.
Star Staff Writer

Many Washington street scenes have
changed drasticalIy over the years, but we
think this block of Seventh street much re-
sembles its 1889 counterpart The stately
columns of the Patent Office are still there,
and so are several of the buildings on the east
side of the street
The signs on the buildings are changed
entirely today. The block appears, from the
old picture, to have been populated mostly
by patent lawyers, book sellers and stationery
shops.
And don't those billOwing trees on the
west side of the street of today make it lOvelier
than the stark scene of II years ago?

A shrewd, swashbuckling,
violent man was Nathan Bed
ford Forrest, who was once
described by Robert E. Lee
as the greatest soldier under
his command. Forests mot
ley cavalry, fighters all, be-
deviled the Yankees with a
horse blitzkrieg so effective
that its tactics became classic
studies for the military
schools of Europe. without
the polish of the planter aris-
tocracy and the political con-
nections that went with it,
Forrest never achieved the
place of responsibility in the
Confederate army that might,
in the opinion of many his
torians, have changed the
Sherman march to the sea
from a victory to a rout.
Mr.. Lytle's study of this
"killingest" of troopers is full
and sympathetic. A South

Colonel Ellsworth

A striking contrast to the
ferocious Forrest was Col.
Elmer Ellsworth, friend Of
Lincoln. whose death at the
hands of the proprietor of
Alexandria's Marshall House
(still standing on King street,
was the first of an officer
in the Civil War. Handsome,
gentle and popular. his death
was nationally mourned. At
"a, he was already the shin
ing hero of the type later
emphasized by the South's
gallant Pelham"
Mrs. Randall presents an
intimate personal portrait of
Col. Ellsworth, quoting from
his personal letters and trac-
ing the blossoming of his
tender romance with his be-
loved Carrie. The author is
no novice at biography ana
history; she is the widow of
James G. Randall, noted Lin
coin scholar and writer; her

a Marriage" was praised by
Carl Sandburg as the best
ever done on the wife of the

Wind, Sand and Stars" and
Flight to Arras." AS a man
he was marked by what one
woman who loved him called
marvellous exigency." He de-
manded much of his friends,
at all hours. His marriage
filled the need for "inquie-
tude" which his nature re-
quired, but his wife was a
veritable spitfire. M. Migeo
examines the painful scenes
of domestic intranquillity
with much discretion.
Sections of the book are
better than the whole. In
mensely documente d and
we'll written, it might be more
consistently fascinating had
the author synthesized the
pilot-writer and drawn a pat
tern from the crammed, dis
orderly existence. 1t is un-
doubtedly a faithful image of
an extraordinarily diversified
man. but not a speaking one.
The translation is admirable.
