The department now has four stations and another that is being erected at C.th avenue and Tierce street will total five. The new station will be modern in every detail, a model department and the only one of its kind in extistence. It is known os the bungalow type. Tassersby form an opinion that it is a dwelling house and inquire who is building, so closely docs it resemble a home. It conforms with the architecture of the neighbohood. In hif annual 13 IS report to Mayor Johnson and the board of public safety. Chief Grant commended the building of a bungalow house to take care of the tremendous growth that has taken part in the city. This has been ac cornplished since the first of the year and the building will be ready for occupancy in another month. The new bungalow station is being

crofted on plans and ideas submitted solely by Chief Grant. It will house a' company of eight men and one motor fireflghting apparatus. Interior decorations will be of white enamel as also will be all furniture and fixtures. The

fire truck will be white with light red trimming. On the first floor there will be a large window seat on the east end of the building, for lounging, reading and comfort of the firemen, a kitchen containing gas stove, cooking utensils, etc.. where the men will be able to make hot coffee or prepare a light meal after a fire in severe weather. Electrically Equipped. Upstairs in the sleeping quarters

i there will be shower baths, drinking fountain and other accomodations. Kach

member will have his own room and locker. They will be 8x10, heated and to be used for dressing purposes, and in which they can keep their clothing or any articles they so desire. The large spacious sleeping quarters will be in the center of the second floor with the rooms on each side. There will also bo chairs and another large window seat on this floor. Seventeen large windows will ventilate this floor. A speaking lube from the top floor to the basement will also be another convenience. Instead of the old way of turning on light and opening doors when a fire is reifrted. a special electrical apparatus, an invention of Chief Grant's will switch on the lights, open the front doors and close then again after the department has left with the turning on of the alarm. After a f.re ths hose will be dried out by a new method. Xo more towers. They will use racks and a large fan. There will also be a flag staff SO feet high with a large red light on the top which will show automatically when an alarm is sent in. rifty-teven Firemen. With the new station, Gary will have 57 members in its department. Its chief officers are Winfrid Grant. Assistant Chief Adam Seifert and Secretary David Grand.

Suffragette Saving Stunts (By United Pre.) NEW TORK, Oct. 6. The New York State Woman's Suffrage party in an effort to replenish the war-service-depleted coffers of the state organization are urging New York saffragettes to practice the following "hints for saving:" Xew gloves cost $2 a pair: old ones might be mended up to do. Silk stockings are a luxury: cotton ones can be worn with no inconvenience whatever. Last year's velvet hat may ba out of shape, but a Bteaming over the tea-kettle will perform miracles with its nap. Last year!s dress may be shiny, but a bit of sponging with vinegar and water will make it perfectly presentable. Ice cream soda is fattening, and its 10 cents cost may be diverted to a better use. The same is true of chocolates. ' Any home is better off for one week without desserts. A $2 seat in the theatre does not really give its user any more pleasure than a 60-cent seat if the difference between the J2 and the 50 cents be diverted into the proper channel. Walking a short distance Instead of taking the street car is good for the heajth as well as the conscience.

Motorized High Pressure Water System Most Modern.

Gary has the reputation of having the most complete and most modern fire department for any city of its size in the United States. It is entirely motorized, a feature that the Chicago department does not have. and. aided by good roads, efficient management, no political intrusion into its affairs, as well ts a high-pressure water system with mains in the streets not forgetting the paved alleys of business districts, the

department is widely known as a topnotch organization. Good Commanding Officer. It is nearly four years ago since Mayor Johnson selected Wilfrid Grant, a nationally known firefighter to be its head. When Mr. Johnson" took office most of the Gary firemen were young men the city being new. Brushing aside politicians who wanted the place, the Mayor went to South Bend and induced Chief Grant, head of the department there for 13 years, to become the commanding officer of the Gary department.
