BIC BLAZE
THREATENED
ENTIRE PLANT
One Entire SuIphuric Acid Sys-
TEN Is Destroyed This
Morning.

East Chicago was visited by its
second huge fire within a week this
morning when one of the important
though smaller sulphuric systems
of the Graselli Chemical Manufac-
turing company was completely de-
stroyed by flames.
The loss is approximated at
100000. though it may reach
still higher figure because it is not
known now just how much acid
was burned.
FIRE HARD TO FIGHT.
The fire broke out IN the building cor
tanning the sulphuric system-ore OF
three structures at the factory-about
$50 through some chemical action IN
which manufacturing products figured.
stif west wind was blowing and the
fact that the fire broke out in the east
end of the building which was of wood
and about 200 feet square gave the East
Chicago fire department and the com
panys volunteer fremen the fght of
their lives. The fumes from the burn
ing acid almost overpowered them but
they stuck bravely to their job
1t was nearly noon before the blaze
was stayed and kept away from adjoin-
ing structures. The building itself was
not so valuable. but the machinery and
contents loss cannot be Immediately p
praised and will be quite large.
Last Wednesday the General-Areri-
can Tank Works was hit by 100000
fire.

Not long ago Mr.. Pepper was about
to entertain some distinguished guests
whom he delighted to honor.
His first move in the direction or
their entertainment was to procure

larly choice Havana cigars, which
'set him back" to the tune of 90
cents each But 1t seems the cigars
arrived before 1t was made known at

Birds Have Rlaht Of Way.

Fowl have the right of way in air,
warns the director of military aero
nautics. This is justice indeed, since
birds flew first.
But this is not all. Recently many
towns along the Atlantic coast have
been visited with dead bird showers.
Aviators flying by town would see q
flock of wild fowl coming their way
They would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
Presently prominent citizen walk
ing below would be hit with a large
bloody bird. He complained to the
department Of agriculture. Then the
federal migratory bird law between
the United States and Great Britain
was referred to, and 1t was found that
shooting birds from airplanes is un-
lawful.
