Mt. Vernon Equipped j
Henry Ford Slums
His Practical Side
With Fire Apparatus
Washington, Kept. 21.—Henry Ford,
while in Washington recently in con
nection with Muscle Shoals, visited
Mt. Vernon. It was the first time
he had ever seen the picturesque
home where George Washington lived
and died.
The millionaire manufacturer dis
played a keen interest in the build
ings and the priceless relics they con
tain, spending several hours at this
national shrine. Then the practical
side of his nature asserted itself.
“What precautions have you
against fire?’’ he asked.
He was shown a row of red fire
buckets, filled with water, and In
formed that they were the only
means of comt- ting any blaze that
might start. The nearest fire depart
ment is at Alexandria, miles away.
Ford seemed deeply concerned at
the thought of Mt. Vernon falling a
prey to flame and expressed a .wish
that he might do something to guard
against such an eventuality.
Today, a complete chemical en
gine, the last word in fire fighting I
apparatus, arrfved at Mt. Vernon. It
«as the sift of the Detroit manufac
turer.
