900 BERKELEY HOMES
DESTROYED BY FLAME
Fire That Sweeps Cali
fornia City

Berkeley, Cal.-Two persons are
dead, 600 homes are ruined, millions Of
dollars worth of property was o
sumed and the entire city of Berkeley
was threatened as the result of n grass
fire. which, running out Of control be-
cause of a heavy north wind, swooped
through the Cragmount district, and
swept into the more crowded residen-
tial districts.
Two University Of California stu
dents, unidentified. are known to have
building.
A third person, unidentified, also is
believed to have been lost in the resi-
dence district near the hills.
The section of the conflagration that
threatened the business section was
brought under control at University
avenue and Allstone way.
Vast columns of flames ut AllstOne
way and Addison street gave forebod-
lngs that the entire Berkeley business
district would go. Shattuck avenue
merchants moved out their valuables.
Officials of the University of Califor-
MIA directly opposite the line of flames,
prepared for a last-ditch fight. The
streets and avenues of Berkeley were
thrOnged with marchers leaving their
homes.
Then it all changed. The direction
Of the wind was toward the south. The
vicious northerner became q western
zephyr.
Batteries of fire engines from Ala
media. Oakland and San Francisco ar
rived and added their lines to those of
Berkeley's. Thousands of workers
helped. Their combined efforts saved
the situation.
All the street car lines were par
alyzed as soon as the fire started and
are still out of commission in Berke-
ley.
The University of California was
threatened from two sides ut once.

one time sweeping directly on the

Ruhr Resistance Lessenino

Berlin.-Since the government FORM
ally announced its inability further to
finance the passive resistance in the
Ruhr and Nhineland there has been n
marked cooling of the ardor OF the re-
sisters. and n Of the immediate eff
fects of the withdrawal of official
credits to the industriaiists. employers
and labor organizations is reflected In
the growing inclination by many work
ers to return to their former posts.
The altered mental attitude appar.
ent In the occupied areas is not as
crlbed to wavering patriotism but is
explained on the ground OF widespread
conviction that the social chaos which
followed In the wake OF the passive
campaign now has reached proportions
which are making life unbearable.

other good qualities. 1t is effective In
curing or preventing pneumonia, SD
the health board of Washington, N. J.
The formula, as It appeared in the
papers Of Washington, Is as follows:
Take six to ten onions, according
to size. n chop fine. put In a large
spider over a hot fire, then add the
same quantity Of rye meal and vinegar,
enough to form a thick paste. In the
meanwhile stir 1t thoroughly. letting II
simmer five or ten minutes. Then put
In a cotton bag large enough to cover
the lungs and apply to chest as hot as
patient can bear. In about ten min
utes apply another. and thus continue
by %reheating the pouitices, and In o
few hours the patient will be out Of
danger. This simple remedy has never
failed to cure this too-often fatal NAL
ady. Usually three or four applica.
lions will be sufficient. but continue
always until the perspIratlon starts
freely from the chest. This remedy

members in their various maneuvers.

cross. To the right of the cross stood
an American flag and at the base of
this was a large flat rock, used as an
altar in the initiation ceremonies.

prayer. after which the entire member

EXCELLENT WAYS TO
USE Leftover MEAT
Suggestions Offered for Utilizing
Small Pieces.

Prepared by the United States Department

Cold roast lamb and mutton sliced
is excellent. but the family may be
tired of having the remains of the
roast served that way, or the pieces
may be too small to slice. In either
event. these suggestions for utilizing
this kind OF leftover meat, offered by
food specialists In the United States
