 night, threatened for a time to com
 municate itself to nearby houses and
 kept the f,remen busy pouring water
 on the dwellings endangered. The
 alarm sounded at l2 o'clock and, be-
 fore the fire department had arrived
 at the scene of the blaze, flames were shooting high into the air. From the

 by the Trumbull factory.

 onto the curb, smashing in its travel the gasoline pump. A large telephone pole stopped further progress and it
 took several hours to disentangle the broken sides of the truck from the pole. Another truck was dispatched
 from Hartford to continue the work of the one wrecked. Adventists Close Conference. Every pastor and church in the de- nomination is called upon to take ac- tive steps in keeping enforced the 18th Amendment is the statement of a
