GIFTS CALLED FOR

BAVIS PROPOSES

Continued From Page One thought it would solve the question satisfactorily. He said that within a f-hort timo the bureau would take definite action on it. Briefly, the plan proposed by Mr. Ftavis is to motorize the four horsedrawn chemical wagons, maintain three of them in service and keep one in reserve. The crew of the wagon placed in reserve would be assigned to the aerial ladder truck, providing for it a full complement of men. Mr. Bavis said his plan called for locating the fire companies on the active list at the central station: at the No. 5 station, West Richmond; No. 3 ftatlon, east end, and No. 4 station, south end. The aerial' truck and the hose truck would be at central station. Only one company would be located In t a,rb of the other three stations. The old No. 1 station. North Eighth street, would be used only as quarters for the reserve wagon. Makes $2,000 Available. The four wagons now used to horses can he motorized for about

$S.00O." Mr. Bavis stated. "There has been $1,000 appropriated for horse feed next year, and the eight horses now used could be sold for at least $1,000. This $2,000 would more than pay for motorizing one of the four wagons. The saving in horse feed would pay for the motorization project within eight, years. "With every wagon motorized the efficiency of the fire department would lie increased forty per cent, even by placing one of the wagons in reserve. "The proposed reserve station, the North Eighth street house, could also be used as quarters for the equipment of the street department, which is badly in need of such a place. "This plan I have outlined has not been acted upon by the other city officials as yet but I will recommend it. to them if I am assured that it. will bring about the desired reduction In fire insurance rates."

Following an old custom, menrbers of the Flrt KngUsh Lutheran Sunday chool will brine: aifta for the needy

at the 'session Sunday morning. Gifts

of clothing, toys, money, fuel. or nonperlsbable foods are desired and are to be wrapped In white paper. If possible. A liberal response Is anticipated. ' ;

SUMMER ROMANCE

Continued From Page On. ward, he planned a brief conference with Secretary Lansing to go over with him the outline of the new note that Is to go forward. A special delivery messenger reached the White House early today with a package which he had been instructed to deliver personally to the president It was the gift that the president will tonight make to his bride. Wilson Admlree Gifts, The president and Mrs. Gait talked briefly over the telephone soon after they arose ' today and it was stated

that arrangements had been made for

the president to motor to the Gait home before luncheon to look over the wedding presents, all of which had

been arranged. The gifts are for the

most part from personal friends.

Among them were many from children

who are admirers of the president-

little initialed handkerchiefs, slippers with "W. W." and "E. G." daintily

worked on the toes and pictures of

various sorts. i

Mrs. Gait is the daughter of the late William H. Boiling of. Wytheville,

Virginia. ' She", is the widow vof .the late Norman E. Gait, for many years

a-prominent jeweler of Washington

Mr. Gait died eight years ago and since then Mrs. Gait has been residing at her home here with her brother. . How Courtship Started. The wedding of the president and

Mrs. Gait tonight will be the culmination of a courtship which began early last summer. Mrs. Gait almost from the beginning of the residence of the. president and. has family in Washington, has been an intimate friend of Miss Margaret Wilson, the president's oldest daughter. Miss Wilson, soon after she came to Washington, assumed an active part in the women's charitable work here and in this field of endeavor she met Mrs. Gait, who, instead of playing a prominent social role, gave all her spare time to charitable fields. In the natural course of events the president and Mrs. Gait met. Early last summer the president dropped the many arduous cares of state and went to Cornish, N. H., to spend a few days with his daughter, Mies Margaret Wilson. Mrs. Gait was then a guest there. The two were thrown much together and a friendship soon ripened into love. It was on October 6 that the White House gave out an official statement, announcing that the president and Mrs. Gait were en gaged. Looking back over the events at which the president was a visitor dur

ing the past . summer the society, folk here figured out the steps of the courtship. It appears that the ' president and Mrs. Gelt courted in the usual way throughout the latter part of last summer. She returned from Cornish and Newport In August and, from then on she and the president were seen often together. They , were visitors to the American League baseball park here and took motor rides together. On all these trips either Miss Margaret Wilson or Miss Helen Bones, a cousin of President Wilson, usually went. v How Love Ripened. The real courtship took ' place after the announcement of the engagement. Since then the president and Mrs. Gait have been much together. Almost daily they saw each other. Either the president made a call at Mrs. Gait's home or Mrs. Gait, in company with her brother, paid s call at the White House. Each day saw the couple out riding and two or three times a week they were seen at the theatres. - Saturday automobile picnics were cne of the many forms the president's courtship took. During the months of October and November and even the early part of December, the president and his fiancee left Washington on Saturday mornings and spent the day on a long ride. These trips sometimes were of 200 or more miles in length and very often the president and Mrs. Gait had luncheon on the wayside. The day the engagement was announced the president spent much time in Mrs. Gait's company and that

evening she and her mother were the president's guests at dinner at the White House. Mrs. Gait Beautiful. Mrs. Gait is thirty-eight years old. She was married to Norman E. Gait in 1896. She has a sister who also married into the Gait family. - In the circle ef people who have known Mrs. Gait for many years she has been regarded as a woman of unusual beauty, gifted with a natural charm. She is not quite as tall as the president, has dark hair and dark eyes. Mrs. Gait's family has figured prominently in the history of the Old

Dominion. . She is a product of the Bouth. whose traditions . and graces she imbibed, in the Virginia home in which she was born and grew up. She came to Washington nineteen years ago as the bride ofNorman Gait. She is; one of nine children,', having three sisters and 'five brothers. Several live in Washington. The family connection is closely united.' Mrs. Gait's sisters are Mrs. Alexander H. Gait, of Washington, whose husband is a cousin of the late Norman E. Gait; Mrs. Mathew H. Maury, of Annlston, Ala, and Miss Bertha Boiling.' Her brothers are John Randolph Boiling, Richard Wllmer Boiling and Julian R. Boiling of Washington; Rolfe E. Boiling, manager of the Commercial Bank of Panama, and Dr. William E. Boiling of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Gait was educated at "Martha Washington college, Abingdon, Va., and Fowell's - college at Richmond. She is a golf enthusiast and frequently after the announcement of the engagement to the president she was his companion on the golf links. Wilson 59 Years Old. President Wilson will be 59 years old ten days from today. The president's marriage is the third which has occurred in his family since he bacame president. First, there was the marriage of the president's youngest daughter, Jessie to Francis B. Sayre of Williams town, Mass., second, that of Miss Eleanor to Secretary of the Treasurer William Biggs McAdoo.

"Last winter I used two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," writes Mrs. John Miller, Roanoke, Ind. "It cured me of a severe cold on the

it and have nothing but words of praise for it. Obtainable everywhere. Adv.

of times. . They were among the party aboard the Princeton at the time of the explosion of one of the guns which resulted fatally for Mrs. Gardiner. The president and several members of the cabinet were in the party. ' .

Their marriage took place at the White House,' the ceremony being performed In the blue room In the presence of the Cabinet and a few relatives and Intimate friends of the president and bride.

No other device has ever been invented that takes the place of Weed Chains. All kinds of "make-shifts" have been tried useless and worthless all. The real value of Weed Chains has been proven so often and so satisfactorily during the last ten years that there is no room for argument. They are
