of purchasing; more equipment for the fire department. The greater part of this amount will be expended in the purchase of a new Are engine, the appropriation for whu h has already been passed by the City Council. The Council did not specify the Kind of engine which was to be purchased. but it is understood that it will not be the same maka as those now in use, the Ahrens-Kox. The new Ahrens-Kox engines are equipped with pneumatic tires and have other improvements which place them among the best fire engines made. The new engine will probably he used in station No. 1 and the one now there will be used in the proposed station at Calumet. The need for a station at Calumet was emphasized by the disastrous fire at the General A -merican Tank Car Co. Thursday morntrig when both the city engines were engaged, leaving the remainder of ths city without protection. Had there been a station at Calumet, the engine at Station No. 1 would not have needed to gone out and it would have been ready to serve the rest of the city in case of another Are. The large number of industries at Calumet and in that section is an excellent reason for another fire station there.

Herbert Hoover, former director of the inter-allied food re'ief commission in Europe, before leaving for the United States on the liner Aquitania. today emphatically denied that he is going into politics when he reaches home. Mr. Hoover declared also that he is not coming back to Europe, despite the efforts of allied statesmen to have him return and continue his

splendid efforts at relief. "No," exclaimed the famous American food expert, "with emphasis, when asked about reports from Paris and Washington that he might enter politics and possibly be a candidate for the presidential nomination. "I am not thinking anything about politics." Ths man who kept the wolf from Europe's door for so long looked tired and worn, but was plainly elated at the possibility of getting to his home shores soon. "I am not coming back to Europe again under any circumstances," he said. "Possibly I may never see Europe again. I have stopped oft here just Ions enough to wind up some personal affairs. "I am through with food. My offices have been dissolved and the work turned over to a commission. When I reach New York I am goig to California at

the earliest possible moment. 1 want a

rest I need it. There is no truth in the report that I am coming back, to Europe. "I have been asked to retain my official position here, several nations asked me to remain, but I am through.

"I don't know if I shall ever come back for private reasons or not. I have

never thought about it and I don't want

to think about it now. Ail I want to do is to forget about food and famine and

Europe's affairs for a while."
