|. s. SAILORS
RISK LIVES
IN FIGHTING
BIG FIRE
Lighted Cigarette Dropped
into VentiIatOr of Steamer
Causes Blaze Which Does
Much Damage to Cargo
and Vessel.
(Ry Associated Press)


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29.-Viola-
tion of a strict rule against smoking
by a sailor, of the Dutch steamer
Bemdijk, started fire in the hold of
the vessel, which caused damage to
the cargo, valued at more than $780,
Geo. and Of many thousand dollars
damage to- the steamer itself, before
it was extinguished.
The steamer was discharging cargo
at the wharf of Municipal Per 3, when
the flames were discovered. The
fire burst from the middle hold in
great sheets Of flame. The alarm
was given at once and the fire tugs
were sent alongside at once and com
menced pumping water into the hold.
In the meantime city fire apparatus
was sent to the dock and also aided
in subdUing the flames.
After a strenuous battle lasting
three hours the fire was placed under
control.
Three hundred sailors from the
Naval Subn. arine base here, aided in
fighting the fire, many of them ven
turing into the mold to shift cargo
that was in the way Of the fire fight
ers, endangering their lives in the
noxious fumes that were created by
the fire.
An investigation showed that a
sailor of the Eemdiik had been smok-
ing a cigarette while on watch duty,
and at the approach of the officer in
charge of the deck, he dropped the
lighted cigarette down an open venti-
lator. An hour later the fire broke
out.
1t is the most serious fire that has
occurred to shipping in this port.

SALVATION ARMY TO
SPENDS $2,5O0,00O
FOR XMAS BASKETS
CBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO. Dec. 24-More than a
quarter of a million dollars is to be
spent by the Salvation Army in fifteen
states, known as the Central Terri
tory, to provide Christmas dinner bas-
kets for the poor, according to an ad-
vance estimate made today at the Ter
ritorial headquarters here by Com
missioner William Peart.
The estimate is based on advance
reports from ten cities near Chicago
and does not include the money to be
spent for candy, toys, fuel and cloth
ing, the total Of which will probably
exceed that to be spent for the bias
kets. 1t is estimated that the total
expediture of the organization for al
purposes will run very close to the mil
| dollar mark.
Towns making advance reports were
| Ottawa, Streator, Rockford, Joliet
Aurora, Belvidere, East Chicago, Ham
mond, Mishawaka and Gary. Saliva
| ton Army officers in these places es
! innate a total of 1900 Christmas din
ner baskets at an approximate averag
cost of $500 each.

South Dakota, Alabama, Texas and
Louisiana. Each of these corps will
be the center for basket distribution
and will provide grand total of not
less than $4,000 baskets, each of which
will contain a Christmas dinner for
not less than five persons.
In addition to these, the rs Mems

provide Christmas dinners for approx

RURAL CHURCH JOINS
0NE-R00M SCHOOL
IN OBLIVION IN OHIO
(By Associated Press)


COLUMBUS, o.. Dec. 24-The clap
boarded. weather-scarred rural church
is joining the one-room school, in OBJ
livion in Ohio.
Before there were automobiles and
smooth roads, 1t wasn't easy to get
to the adjoining town on a Sunday, so
one went TO church right at home.
But now, It's a simple matter to pile
into the car, and drive to the big
church"
The state church survey made by
the Ohio Federation of Churches. re-
veals the passing of many open-coun-
try churches. Recent comment by the
Federation attributes this situation to
changing economic and social condi-
tons in the country, the chief of which
have been the development of the auto
mobile, and better roads
The federation recommends that
town churches extend their influence
into rural territory where necessary.
The first 80 counties surveyed had
637 abandoned churches, mostly in the
open country and distributed among
the denominations practically in pro-
portion to their respective strengths.
Abandoned Methodist Epis copal
churches numbered 1877, United Breth-
rem, II; Baptist. 81; Disciples, So;
Presbyterian, 80; Lutheran, 26 and
smaller numbers are reported for
other denominations.
Consider Problem
The Ohio Federation Of Churches
has devoted much attention to the
problems created by the abandoned
church 1t has emphasized that with
automobiles and good roads, making
the town east Of access to rural resi-
dents, the town has become the social
center for wide area, whose people
formerly grouped themselves into
small neighborhoods frequently about
the rural church.
AS result of this, explains the fed
GRAFTON. the country church has de-
clined in influence, and in many cases,
has been abandoned. At the same
time, 1t is declared, the town churches
have in many cases, not fully met the
need thus created, and large groups
OF rural people have been left without
any adequate church facilities.
