Feb. account of the advance toward a national standard for hose couplings and lutings for public lire service is contained in Circular No.

50, just issued try the Bureau of Standards of the Department of Commerce. The movement for the adoption of standard fire hose couplings dates from the great Boston Ore of 1872, which showed the impossibility of thej lire departments of adjacent towns acting in unison when provided with the uivers sizes of hose fittings then prevailing. The matter was taken up at the first convention of the Fire1 Engineers in 1873, and was discussed at various conventions in succeeding years. The resolutions gradually became more although little was plish'd toward bringing about the desired change until the agitation received new impetus from the Baltimore fire in 1904, when neither the Washington, Philadelphia nor New York fire engines, on their arrival, could make connection with the local tire hydrants. This condition led the Merchants and Miners Transportation company in April, 1904, to request in secretary of the Department o', and Labor to investigate the of fire hose couplings.

The secretary referred the matter to the Bureau m. Standards, and in the inve'stigation which followed, it was found that there was a great diversity in sizes of threads of couplings throughout the United States. It was evident that con siderable expense involved in changing from one standard to another, and therefore, at the conference of the committees of the National Fire Protection Association and American Water Worke Association, held in New York'City April 24th, 1905, the Bureau of Standards proposed the adoption, either of the thread which could be shown to be most extensively used, or that thread possessing the greatest advantages In other respects.
