Brooklyn Warehouse
Destroyed by Flames
Hundred Families Are Driven
from Their Homes
by Smoke

More than 100 families were driven
from their homes by smoke and many
large warehouses in the Brooklyn East
ern District Freight Terminal were
threatened by flames early to-day
when the plant of the Brooklyn Co
operage Company, four-story brick
structure covering two blocks. was de-
stroyed by ire. All available apparatus
in Brooklyn and Queens was rushed to
the scene, while thirteen engines and
the fire boats were sent from Manhat-
tan.
The building was blazing like a
mammoth bonfire by the time the first
engines arrived and dense clouds Of
smoke, driven before the wind, swept
down on nearby homes, making it
impossible for the firemen TO fight the
flames ercept from the river side.
The plant was between Wythe and
Kent Avenues and extendd from North
Fourth 70 North Sixth Streets.

Fiqur;nq coIors of Metals.

A method by which numerical values for the colors of metals has been ob- tained and described recently in for eign contemporary. The metal sample is polished with emery, and is then photographed through d blue grass screen. The time of exposure, time of development of the plate, temperature of the developer and all other condi- tions must be reproduced exactly in order to obtain comparable results. The density of the resulting negative Is measured in a Sanger-Shepherd densometer, and the result calculated to a scale in which the color value for silver is 0 and that of copper is 60. The results obtained show that an increase of coloration in the metal does give a higher "color figure" but the method can detect no difference between pure and standard" silver silver 92.5 per cent. copper 7.5 per cent and Is only just sufficient! sensitive :o distinguish between German silvers having respectively 15 and per cent of nickel.

PINE BLUFF HOSPITALITY
 ON TRIAL.

Between 500 and 500 Sunday school people of the state of Arkan- sas will be here next week to at tend the convention of the Arkansas Sunday School association.
 These folk are coming at the invi- tation of Pine Bluff, pressed upon the state organization by the Pine Bluff Sunday school organizations and the chamber of commerce. One of the promises made on behalf of Pine Bluff was that it would do as all other cities have done, end are doing: Extend the hospitality of the homes to the delegates.
 Sunday school work is labor of live, and these annual meetings en- able the workers to coordinate the.r efforts; obtain new ideas and thus further the success ot the Sunday schools in making better men and women thru imparting knowledge of the Great Truths.
 Up to yesterday afternoon just 204 of the delegates had been provided for Homes for from 296 to 59S more must be offered immediately.
 It is not much that is asked of the Pine Bluff family: Just room for few nights for one or two delegates. Little enough for family to contrib ute toward Sunday school work. Pine Bluff now enjoys an envious reputa- tion for hospitality.
 Will it possess this same reputation with the Sunday school delegates after next week?
 It is up to you.
 If you would help maintain that reputation, telephone 3e5 and tell the chairman of the arrangements com mittee. MT. Goodwin. you'll open yolr home to one or more delegates for three days next week. Do it now!

At a meeting of the Eagles lodge last night the matter of forming a military company in Valdez was brot up and discussed at length. It was decided that such an organization should be formed here. and a commit tee was appointed. consisting of T. G.. Quinn, Dr. J. A. Silverman and Will lard T. Scott, to draw up plans for the formation Of such an organization and to arrange for instruction in military tactics. As no provision is made for the formation of a National Guard in the territory. the organization will, of course, have no standing as an or ganized body with the government, but it is believed that such a body is necessary in every community at this time, owing to the war with Germany, and should be prepared to deal with any emergency which may locally arise therefrom.

FOUR-IN-HAND TIES.
An Easy Way to Iron Them After They
 Have Been Washed.

It is not an impossible task to wash a four-in-hand tie. The difficulty comes in ironing it in such a way that its original shape will be restored. writes Emile Parent in the Popular Science Monthly.
 To do this it is necessary to proceed carefully. Start by placing tue wide end of the tie upon the board with the seam ul,. then thrust in the finger and take hold of the lining. Grasp tue silk cover in the other hand and pull it back from over the lining for about half of it's length. Then with hot iron run over the lining to straightel it out
 Cut Il pi&e of stiff cardboard to fit into the wide end of tue tie and long enough to reach to the narrow band. Slip this in between the lining and the seam side of the outer layer. Then turn the material back i'll proper shape. dampen a clean cloth. lay it over the tie and iron in the usual way.
 The cardboard form will prevent the pressure of the iron from causing q glossy mark 10 appear on the silk front opposite the seam. When through put the form aside for another time.
