Do the Casper motorists make any
pretense of obeying this positive city
ordnance No. All insist upon park
ing at an angle of sixty degrees. and
many Of them go SO far as to ap-
proach the ninety degree position
which leaves the a at right angles
with the curb and forces n driver to
back directly across the right Of way
to extricate himself from the ma
chimes which may be parked on
either side.
Parking in Casper In the downtown
section must be placed on n lawful
forty-five degre angle basis. and
through future editorials. the Tri-
bune will attempt to put before the
public an altogether feasible plan by
which this may be accomplished. It
is impossible for the police depart
ment to enforce a law OF this kind
as long as motorists make nc pre-
tense of obedience. 1t may not be
wilfui negligence but only ignorance
of the law. which is in itself mex.
cusable.
The Tribune and the police depart
ment will work together in this cam.

motoring public, parking In Casper's

shingles to prevent them catching
fire from clouds of sparks which
were flying everywhere. Many re-
manned until driven away by the
flames themselves.
As the flames advanced through
the thick growth of trees on the
northeast slope OF the ridge and top
ped the crest, they struck a south
eastward course down the slope
through the residential district. Here
and there they skipped a residence
or turned sharply at right angles.
leaving one side of n street in flam-
ing ruin, while houses of the opposite
side of the street stood intact.
At the very gates to the grounds
OF the University Of California the
fire was checked and none of the
structures of the institution was
harmed. The University grounds
marked the eastern extremity of the
conflagration, only one residence
being destroyed on the east side of
Hearst Avenue.
At its southern extremity the fire
was bottled in a narrow strip between
two huge concrete structures which
formed an ~effectual barrier TO its
progress and aided fire fighters, who
found IT an easy task to extinguish
the narrow tongue of flames which
extended southeastward to Hearst
and Shattuck Avenues.
On the southwest and northwest
sides 1t followed a diagonal course,
cutting s~outheastward from the crest
Of the hill to Shattuck Avenue.
The anxiety caused by the fire held
the entire city of Berkeley in its
grip throughout the afternoon and
early hours of tho evening. Great
crowds gathered at points of vantage
to watch its progress and house
holders for many blocks outside the
burned zone moved out their personal
belongings and in many cases their
furniture in the e that flames
might not be checked or that a sud.
den shift in the wind would send the
fire in their direction.
Failing transmission lines created
n tangle of wires on the streets in
the fire area. When the giant trees
lining the streets burst into flames
from flying sparks. many crashed
to the pavement and formed impas.
sable barriers to automobiles carry
ing fire fighters and relief workers.
Burning cinders we're sprayed about
by the wind as house after house was
eaten away by the roaring flames
and this hampered the work of those
struggling to prevent the spread OF
the fire.

TEUT0NS CANCEL ORDERS
FOR MUSIC IN FRANCE
Dealers Express Regret Politics In
terfere With Business-Hotel
Boycott Delayed.
By tie Associated Press.

PARIS, January 30.--Germans who
buy quantities of French music have
written French music dealers politely
cancelinG orders placed with them,
snd expressing regret that politics
should interfere with their business.
1t is suggested that the French will
miss German orders for music. and
that French dealers might profitably
bring pressure upon the French gov
ernment regarding the Ruhr situa-
ton.
French hotelkeepers have announced
that they are "eady to bar Germans
from their hostelries. but that they
prefer to wait until they are quite
certain of the accuracy of the news
that Germans are boycotting French
men and Belgians. Meanwhile they
arc going through their lists of en-
p!oyes and wedding out those who are
considered undesirable foreigners.
The lntransgeant yesterday printed
the copy Of notice served on French
customers by a leading hotel at Gar
mish. one of the principal Bavaria n
resorts. 4 translation of it reads:
You are begged to leave Immediate
