Whiffs a Blaze;
Sees Self Afire;
Is Own Firenen
Chris Hirsrh's Stomach Is
Scene of a Confasration on
His Way to Work Top
Partof Stomach hid Flames
From View.

Chris Hirsch, of 318 South Frederick
street, had fire yesterday afternoon.
1t was a blaze confined all to him
self. He started to his work as a
meat cutter at LAWYERS meat market
on independence street with his
stomach afre.
Hirsch had just finished his noon
day meal and walked up to Frederick
and Good Hope street, where he
paused on his way to work When he
stopped, he smelled something burning
and looked carefully at the buildings
on each if the four corners to aseer-
tain the location of the blaze.
He failed to see any smoke or blaze
and concluded he must have been mis-
taken, so started down Good Hope.
He had gone but few PAGES when
he got another Whit of the confagra-
ton in his neighborhood.
1t was so realistic he paused again
for an examination of the neighbor-
hood for the location of the fire.
"Pshaw! Pm fooled again!" he
remarked as he started away and
reached to tug at his vest to straight
en- out the wrinkles over his belt.
His right hand encountered the fire.
His sweater vest was burning rapidly
toward his chest. The fire still was
in smoldering stage, but it was
making Roadway fast. The part of
the vest that was burning was hidden
from Hirsch's view by that part of
his stomach above the spot where the
fire occurred. 1t bulged out over the
fire so as to obscure the smoldering
blaze.
Mr.. Hirsch declared the first thing
he thought of was calling the fire de
partment. He then thought that it
would be the best thing to roll himself
on the ground and smother the con-
fiagration; but he finally settled the
matter by beating it out with his
hands.
He believes the fire was started by
sparks from his pipe, which he car
ried in his right hand. He had rested
his hand close to his abdomen for d
moment and he considers that the live
Goals of tobacco were brushed from
the top of the pipe in that manner.

When the machine first went into
the mire, Mr.. kassel had faith in bis
machine and endeavored to pull cut
on his own power. The wheels ground
deeper into the mud and, weighted
down with the five passenger, the
engine demanded terms.
The occupants Of the machine got
out, but the story thai reached the
Cape yesterday on their return from
the trip, does not say whether they
pushed or not. At any rate, the ma
chine could not pull out even when
relieved of its load. Nh. Kassel forth

City-To Enlarge in The

Following the announcement this
week that the Cape County Milling
Company of Jackson will transfer a
large part of its organization to the
Cape this spring, j. w. Hunter and
J. r. Bowman, officers of the company
yesterday announced the purchase of
d 50,000-bushel grain elevator at
Puxico.
The Puxico station will be used as
a feeder to the Cape and Jackson,
where two of the company's big mills
are situated, as well as laboratories
and the general Offices.
The plans of the officials of the COM
pany embody scheme for moving the
large steel grain elevator tank on
Broadway, west of the Himmelberger-

KAESS PLANS CITY
HOLE
Urges Pool for William and Lori
mier Instead of Sunken
Garden.

A project to convert the Sunken
garden in the City Park at William
and Lorimier streets into d municipal
swimming pool site as a part of the
clty's park Improvement plans, will be
embodied in a resolution to be pr
sentetl to the city council at its next
meeting by Councilman Charles kaess.
Councilman Kaess points out as orc
of the primary advantages Of the
swimming pool that above the essen
tial recreational benefits it would
mean for the Cape, it could be made
virtually self-suStaining.
A sunken garden, on the other
hand, he declares, will become
source of constant expense from the
time the first shovelful Of dirt is
moved in its construction.
IF municipal swimming pooi is
established, small fee could be at
tached, as in larger cities, for the
privilege OF SWIMMING, and the fees
would pay for the life guard as we'll
as the caretaker that would have to
visit the place.
The character OF the place favors
the location of a swimming pool, Mr.
kaess said yesterday No excavating
would have to be done for the pool.
The initial expense would be connected
with shaping the pool, putting in the
thin cement bottom and sides, together
with bath house for the accommoda-
ton fthose who used the place, he
said.
