tain, United States Navy Naval Con-
struction, died yesterday at noon Of
heart failure, at his residence, 71G

To those who have given nothing
and to those who have not given
with sympathy and insight are COM
mended these words of Vice-Presi-
dent Marshall: Nothing is compar-
able to the work of the Red Cross.
Nothing can come into your lives
that will give you so much rest of
mind and peace of soul as to realize
that you have made some sacrifice
for the alleviation of suffering, as to
have made sacrifices for the winning
upon the part of America of this most
just and righteous war"
A certain gentleman who has been
in the insurance business for a
number of years, went into a store
yesterday to collect from one of
the employees, and after receiving soc
handed out the change, but laid the
SOC on the counter. He got SO
''fussed up" over some questions
about a friends automobile, of
which he has charge, that he walk
ed out of the store, leaving the mo-
ney on the counter. The employees
| used the money this morning to pur-
chase candy, and have been having a
fine time today at his expense.
There is a great deal of rivalry
about gardens around Cambridge at
this time. Naturally some people
think that the gardens on Academy
street are the best, although since
| the conservation of light went into
| effect all the electric lights have been
removed from them, and their own
ers are not quite so enthusiastic; !;
the Oakley street gardeners think
that there are none in Cambridge
that will compare with theirs; the
William street gardeners have been
rather quiet this season, but Glas-
gov street is always to the front,
and starting with Miss May Jor-
dams, at the corner of High and
Glasgow, and going straight out
Glasgow, it will be hard to find any
thirty gardens on single street that
will equal the first thirty on that
street, but they do say that if one
wants to see real garden, all that
is necessary is to go up to No.
Light street, and take a look at Mr..
Charles L. Shorter's; he has real
garden.

When you come up town tonight,
watch out for the Red Cross Pit,
which will be located at the interSec- :
ton of High and Locust streets; it
may be in the center of the intersec-
ton; it may be right on the Elks
corner, so that you will have to walk
around it; it may be on one of the
other corners, but it is being built to
day, and will be an attractive en-
closure, made for the purpose of re-
ceiving contributions of old tires, in
ner tubes, rubber boots. rubber
shoes; in fact, all kinds of worn out
rubber goods. 1t will be on the cor

contents will be sold for the benefit
of the greatest fund the world has
ever known, the fund that is to re-
ieve misery, want and suffering all
over the world, and aid in bringing
peace, happiness and justice to d
stricken humanity. Everyone wants

Thousands of dollars in machin-

munitions for the United States
government were ruined in the blaze.
Two employees who helped fight the
flames are in the Harrisburg Hos
pital with minor hurts.
Officials at noon were of the
opinion that n match or cigaret

inflammable paint in the cylinder fin
ishing department. David Il. Tracy,
president of the company, has
ordered a minute investigation.
The loss to the Pipe Bending Com
pany is estimated conservatively at
more than 100000. William P.
Starkey. superintendent of the plant,
placed the loss at that figure, while
all other officials in the offices of the
company placed the losses much
higher, some even estimating a half
a million.

Marines Stand Guard
Over Norfolk Ruins;
Loss Is $2,OOO,O0O
By associated Press

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 2.-Marines and
bluejackets stood guard to-day over
the downtown section of Norfolk,
where three separate fires yesterday
wiped out five of the city's largest
buildings, entailing losses estimated
at 100000. Police Chief Kizer and
Fire Chief Mclaughlin to-day were
less inclined to place blame for the
fires on incendiarism, although both
declared the circumstances were sus-
picious. Military guards, however,
were in no way relaxed and during
the night all persons who could not
give an account of themselves were
warned away from the business sec
tion.
Revised lists of the casualties from
the fire which engaged the attention
of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk
firemen all day yesterday and into
the night showed that Charles Mccoy
a fireman, was the only person known
to have lost his life. Four firemen
were seriously hurt and a score OF
others were less seriously injured
Flremen said it was possible that re-
moval of debris would show other
deaths from falling walls.
More than score of persons were
arrested as suspects during the day
and night and about a dozen hello
for investigation. Two men thought
to be Germans were among those
held. They gave their names as Huge
Schmidt and II. Il. Leasing.
