US. War Stamps in Every Home
CLOTHING Caught fire
Miss Enid Christie Died in Sher.
brooke Hospital from Severe
Burns

Last Friday noon Miss Enid Chris
tie was severely and fatally burned
from her clothing catching fire, and
was Immediately taken to che hos
pital at Sherbrooke. Que, where she
was treated.
AS near as can be learned the ac-
cident happened from match which
she had used in lighting the oil stove
coming in contact with her clothing.
Miss Christie, who had been working
in the canning factory, came home to
get her dinner. She was with her
mother who is blind, her two other
sisters who work in the restaurant
nights were upstairs asleep.
Miss Christie had filled the tank on
the oil stove and while doing so had
spilled kerosene on der dress. She
had lighted the stove and turned the
flames to the proper place for use,
and it is supposed she snapped the
match to put it out and it hit her
dress which quickly ignited. She
told her mother she was on fire and
the mother told her to get a cloth
and put it out. She failed to find
one and became frantic, for she ex'
claimed Il am all afire." She held
both hands over her face and started
upstairs for her sister. When she
rushed into the room her sister
caught a blanket and wrapped i,
around her quickly putting out the
flames but her clothing was practi
cally all burned and nearly every
part of her flesh was deep burns ex
cept her face where she kept the fire
from reaching with her hands.
DR.. Parlin was called and she wa
taken on the l o'clock train to Sher
brooke, the DR.. accompanying hel
and alleviating, all that was possible
her suffering.
She died at the hospital Thursday
The body arrived today, Friday, ant

odist church, Saturday at IL M, Rev

Opens Branch Shirt Factory

The following from the Leominster,
(Mass.) paper relates the enterprise and
activity of G. A. Cane, who formerly
managed the shirt factory in this
village:
Early this week representatives of the
Wachusett Shirt Co., Leominster, made
an inspection on the third floor of the
Ryan block to consider the possibility
of the use of the large hall for establish
ing an auxiliary Of Leominster's shirt in
dustry in Gardner. War orders which
have received by the Leominster COM
pany have reached the point where ex-
pansion of the present plant in Leom-
inster is no longer practicable. While no
lease has yet been signed, G. A. Cane,
formerly manager of the Wachusett
Shirt sCo., and who will have entire
charge of the opening and conducting of
the Gardner branch said that officials of
the company have decided favorably up
on taking over the hall on the top floor
OF the Ryan block,
Alterations and the work of installing
electric sewing machines has already
been started Mr., Cane expects to have
the place in readiness to start work on
Tuesday, Sept. g.
For the present the business of the
branch factory will be confined entire
ly to the making OF mems white cotton
nightshirts, but as the circumstances
make it necessary, the making of other
articles of this nature will be introduced.
To begin with about rs machines will be
installed, but the number of these will also
be increased as the work grows and the
list of applicants increases
The regular Leominster wages will be
paid to girls who have had experience
along these lines and inexperienced girls
will also be employed and paid we'll
while learning.
When the hall is made ready to open
it will be an ideal place for girls to work
in as there will be an abundance of fresh
air and daylight. In conjunction will
the operation of the shirt factory Mr..
Cane will continue his personal work Of
filling special orders for tailor made
mems dress shirt.
Mr.. Cane said today that he would
make the first shirt in the new shop as
has been his custom for the past thirty
years while going about the towns anc
cities opening new work shorps.

NOT ORDERED CLUS1D
Erroneous Announcement Corrected by Fuel Ad-
 ministration Today.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Al1 the prin- cipal munitions plants will be per mitted to work at full capacity under the fuel restriction order. As an nOunced last night by the fuel admin istration. only portions of plants making condenser tubes would have been permitted to operate. It was an official mistake.
 All the du Font powder plants and the plants of IS other great companies mentioned in last nights official an- nouncement as being restricted from the manufacture of condenser tubes are, by the official modification today, permitted to run full blast. .'
 From the flood of applications for exemptions piling in, it appeared that steel plate mills and woolen plants making cloth for soldiers uniforms would receive favorable action, prob ably being added to the list.
 It was ordered today that only one ice-making plant may operate in any one place. The exempted plant, how ever, will be required to furnish it's product to the closed ice plants at production cost.
 Twenty -threc of the country's Iarg- est steel mills have been notified that they may continue operation if they run to 100 per cent capacity on or ders for steel ship plates for the navy and emergency fleet corporation.
 The 23 steel plants notified they may continue operation if they de- voted 100 per cent capacity to the production of steel plates for the emergency fleet corporation include the Forged Steel Wheel O., Butler, Pa: Whitaker Glesner Steel Co.,, Portsm outh, O.; Youngstown Sheet and Iron Go.
