SCALE WORKS
Vat Of Japan Gets on Fire
from Spark from a Weld
E ing Machine

There was the hottest kind of a
fire at the Fairbanks scale factory at
o'clock Wednesday morning when
spark from welding machine
dropped into a large vat of japan.
The flames instantlv burst out and it
was 80 minutes before it could be eX-
tinguished.
The automobile trucks responded
promntlv to the scene of the fire
which was at the north end Of the
first floor of the machine shop. Here
there was a large vat about 25 feet
long where the heavy CASTINGS were
dipped into the japan. The latter IS
very infammable paint, thinned
with gasoline, and though the factory
sprinkler and the dozen lines of hose
were playin~ on the fire it seemed to
burn Just as briskly until it was hnal-
ly smothered by sheet iron and sand.
The firemen had an unusually hard
time as the room soon flied with
moke and the heat was intense, but
the fremen from all the companies
worked splendidly even though their
clothes were ruined bv water, japan
and smoke, while most of them were
above their ankles in water all the
time. None of the men were over
come with the smoke, though there
were several close calls, and one man
received slight cut on his hand.
The entire floor of the machine
shop is covered with water several
inches deep and it will take some
time to get things back into shape,
In fact, the loss of time, when the
factory was rushed with orders, will
be tho most serious as little damage
was done to the buildinr from the
fire aside from smoking uD the raft
crs and deluqinQ some of the ma
chimes with water.
1t is a remarkable coincidence
that the fire on June % caught in
the same way as the bi" fire some 40
years ago That was on bitter cold
December afternoon when work
man accidentally dropned match
into a vat of japan and the largest
fire in the history of st. Johnsbury
followed.

TURNING AWAY FROM MEAT
In New York Big Hotels Meals Entire
~ Of Vegetables Are Increasing
In Popularity.

According to the New York Times
the diners Of the American metropolis
are becoming vegetarians. Approx
mately one-seventh TO one-flfth of the
guests at the hotels here today are or
0ering vegetables for their meals in
stead OF meats. All Of the big hotels
keep very careful record of the sales
OF the different items on the menus for
each day. and recapltulation made
recently at the Hotel Pennsylvania re-
VeaIed that surprising percentage OF
patrons omitted meat items entirely
In their lunch and dinner orders.
While the percentage for lunch was
much higher than that for dinner, the
number Of dinner guests who re-
Trained from meat entirely was also
very large.
In the opinion of Chef Julien JAG
Quier Of the Pennsylvania this is the
result of years Of emphasis on the
value Of vegetarianism. The vegetari-
an, few years ago, was very general
iy the butt Of the comic papers; but
with the war a great deal more came
to be thought Of him by people who
found that thoroughly satisfactory
meal could be made from vegetables
and Mt much less cost. Chef lacquer
believes that this Is responsible for the
many calls given nowadays in the big
hotels for vegetable luncheons and
dinners. which have a special place on
the menus.

One interesting statute provides that
rentals must run for three years in
