In requesting the members to bring new ones into the organization, J. Eliot Wright, secretary, recalled that his father joined the association in 1889, | remained a member 22 years and was |8 vice president at the time of his death. Mr. Wright said he himself be- came eligible for membership on No- vember 14, 1903, and was admitted on | December '3 of that year, which hap- !pened to be his wedding anniversary, |and this month is celebrating his twenty-fifth anniversary as a member.

There was a swimming place on Tiber Creek between E and F streets, at Massachusetts avenue, and another about L street, that was popular with the boys who did not care to go as far as Rock Creek or the Potomac River, Mr. Duhamel said. Tells of Swimming Holes. The swimming hole on Sycamore Creek, which he personally patronized | frequently, was above Long Bridge, Mr. | Duhamel sald, while that in Rock Creck was near the present duck pond.

Both Mr. Duhamel and Mr. Bryan, who presided, expressed the hope that it would be possible to open the hall to the public on certain days, or to invite school children and special or- ganizations to visit it, as Dr. Summy suggested years ago. Mr. Duhamel also reported the re- | ceipt of a fire nozzle, two helmets, a belt and a badge, all from the Wana- maker collection of fire relics and sent by Linden F. Harris of Philadelphia. One of the helmets was white and un- doubtedly was the property of W. O. Drew, former first assistant chief en- gineer of the local department, accord- ing to Mr. Duhamel. W. F. Ward, one of the pioneer pharmacists of Washington, who was recently elected to membership, was in- troduced to the association and told of buying Magruder's store, at Nineteenth and Pennsylvania avenue, and operat- ing it for a few years. Joseph P. Smith was elected to mem- bership. NEV\; CODE ADOPTED. Petroleum Institute Rules Against Filling Station Financing.

This, he said. showed how rapidly the Potomac fille up, making it necessary to cover the | flats and break up the old swimming | holes. | In conclusion, Mr. Duhamel suggested | the members make. a list of the old | wimming holes, and Mr. Topham vol unteered to read a poem about them by | Dr. L. O. Howard at one of the com- | | ing meetings. | As chairman of the building, hall, and archives committee, Mr. Duhamel | reported that the Union Engine House | had been opened on November 22 for | the teachers of Eastern High School, who had requested permission to go through it. Mr. Topham and J. I Keefer showed the visitors the relics | housed in the Engine House, and ex- | v George' O'Connor and Matt Horn, Mr. ‘Topham said. A half-hour’s informal | reception, starting at 7 o'clock, will | precede the banquet, and afford an op- | portunity for the members to meet the guests of the evening, who include W. W.

Objectives for Year. | Increased membership and increased participation by the members in the _ monthly meetings were raised as ob- | Jectives for the organization during the next year.
