Seven Year .0ld Boy Gives
Warning as Blaze Starts
In Irving.

Fire that started in the basement
of the Irving apartments. 3014 Dent
place northwest, last night, caused
through the building that many OF
the tenants were either overcome or
daxed by the effects. Some were so
panic-stricken that they were about
to leap from windows. Two score
men. women and children were led to
safety. or were carried down ladders
by firemen and policemen. AS soon
as they reached the street neighbors
offered them the shelter OF their
homes.
Starting in the locker room. the
blaze spread rapidly to a trash pile
and in Q short time smoke spread to
all parts of the building. Members of
the fire deparement and policemen
rushed into the smoke-filled corri-
doris and carried occupants to the
street. At times the fire fighters
found 1t difficult to persuade ten
ants, who had gathered ut windows,
not to jump.
Seven-year- Wilson McCray,
whose father, w. r. McCray, occupies
the apartment directly above the
place where the blaze started, was
the first to give the alarm. He and
his three-year-old brother, Robert
were at play In q front room when nc
detected the odor OF smoke. Investi-
cation by Mr.. McCray led to the dis
covery of the fire. After he had
taken his children to safety he gave
other tenants.

The police are highly incensed over
the fact that the negro operator sped

that the machine. according to one OF

This Is the result of n consolida-

HIRAM TO WAR
FORPAY RAISE
Senators Johnson and Kenyon
viii Fight for Passage Of
Nolan Bill.

Senator Hiram Z. johnson Of Cal
ifornia and Senator Kenyon Of Iowa
will return TO Washington next
week, prepared TO launch q stubborn
fight FOR the Nolan minimum wage
bill immediately upon the converting
Of Congress next month. In CORE
spendence, friends of the two Sena-
tors today learned that they would
attempt 10 make the minimum wage
bill the first business of the Senate,
and had assurances Of its early sue
ss.oOe WOULD BENErPT.
This would mean that approximate
ly $4,000 Government employees would
benefit by a wage increase. of which
number $1,000 reside In Washington.
according to estimates OF the Civil
Service Commission today. which
show that this large number of en-
ployes receive only from sara to S2.76
q day. or an average OF about S233.
The minimum wage bill provides for q
minimum OF So Q Gay.
Friends OF the bill are asking IL
Federal employees residing In the Dis.
trict would be included under it's pro-
visions. The bill already has passed
dar as. unfinished business, having
been held there by the Democratic
filibuster lead by Senator Underwood
during the closing days Of the last
session OF Congress. The measure
also has passed the Senate. but Sena-
tor Hoke Smith OF Georgia made q
motion to reconsider and offered the
amendment that the minimum wage
be denied Government employees resid-
ing In the District. and that IL be
only given to those In the field serv-
Ice.
1t is predicted that this anne dment
will be the center OF q warm fight,
but II Is not generally believed that
the Smith amendment will hold. since
some OF the strongest leaders OF the
Senate were declared today to be
aligned against IL.
Senator Johnson, II Is understood
has expressed his opposition to the
am ndment in recent letters to his
friends in Washington. Senator John
son Is the co-author OF the bill, to-
gether with Congressman Nolan. Sem
ator Kenyon. as chairman Of the Sen
ate Committee on Labor and Educa-
ton, will give his support to the bill.
and his position 10 regarded as an in
fluential factor toward the defeat of
the Smith amendment
1t is held that the Smith amendment
could not possibly be accepted because
OF the discrimination II would make
between Government employees In the
District and In the field.

For Christmas.

Manufacturers Association.
The advantages OF doing Christ
mas shopping early are so numerous
and the reasons for not doing II are
90 negligible that one would natu-
II. yet there is still much to be de-
sired from the buying public by the
merchants OF Washington.
From q purely selfish standpoint
II 10 advantaGsous to make the
Christmas purchases at as early date
as possible. Practically everything
that the merchants will have TO Of
fer during Christmas week Is In their
establishments today. The displays
today offer . Gar wider range OF Sc
lection than they will later. The pur-
ohases can be made with more
thought and care now, because the
buyers are not rushed and the clerks
can devote more time to the custom
ers. The merchandise is fresh and
new and has not been handled re-
peatedly. as II will be later on.
About tho only reason that can
be assigned for not doing the Christ
mas shopping well In advance OF
Christmas Day Is that men and wo-
men think they haven't the money
with which to buy what they would
like to for themselves. their Tela-
tives or friends. This Is more OF an
grouse than . reason, because most
OF the merchants of Washington have
arranged to lay aside practically any
article of merchandise in their estab-
lishments upon the payment OF a
small deposit.
Thus. men or women can make his
or her entire selection OF Christmas
purchases with but n nominal outlay
OF money on the day Of the actual
buying. and thereby relieve them
selves OF turmoil OF the final rush.
From humanitarian point OF view,
II Is desirable to do Christmas buying
days ahead Of Christmas II possible,
because il lightens the burden on the
sales forces in the pesieged business
houses. or course, the hours Of labor
have been SO adjusted as to minimize
the strain upon the clerical force, but
even at that, every one must work at
high tension to accommodate clamor-
Ing customers.
There Is practically no reason why
sensible persons should put off their
Christmas shopping until the last
minute, congesting store counters and
aisles, making quick decisions, taking
what more foresighted purchasers
have left. subJecting themselves and
others to strain, and having to
carry many packages.
Today, purchases can be made in a
quiet manner. with no hurry, rush or
hustle, and, IL the order Is large
enough. prompt delivery can be made
Persons who wait until the final week
trust to luck that the weather will be
such that deliveries can be made In
