| Ocean Park, Calif-Fire, said to
ket on the ocean front walk here, vir-
tually wiped out the entire Ocean
Park Amusement zone and caused
damage officially estimated at from
S75O,O00 to $1,OOO,OO0, of which ap-
proximately 100000 was covered by
insurance.
Most of the loss was sustained in
the destruction of three pleasure piers
the Pickering Million-Dollar pier,
| the Fraser amusement pier and Lick s
Dome pier.
Spreading quickly from the point of
origin, flames threatened the whole
| concession district before thousands
of pleasure seekers strolllng alonS the
ocean front realized whot had hap
pened. One of the first structures to
go down in the path of the conflagra-
tion was the Giant Dipper, an amuse-
ment device recently constructed ut a
cost of 100000.
A strong draught of air beneath the
piling on which the greater portion Of
the amusement zone was constructed
famed the flames to ungovernable
heights, and soon the Dome theater
the Rosemary theater. the Lick pier,
the Bonton ballroom, the Fraser pier
and the Pickering pier were blazing.
The large municipal auditorium, con-
structed Nbout two years ago at a cost
of $35O,0OO was partly destroyed, and
numerous small concessions valued in
the aggregate Mt more than $500, 600
were reduced to ashes or badly dam
aged. -
No lives were reported last, but sew
eral firemen were injured before the
combined fire departments OF Ocean
Park, Los Angeles. Hollywood, Santa
Monica, Venice. Sawtelle and Culver
City Brought the blaze under control
Police from Los Angeles and other
nearby cities were rushed to the scene
to aid in preserving order
The exact cause Of the fire is unde-
termined but reports were current that
an overheated stove was responsible.
st. Louis, Mo.-A spectacular fire in
the business district Of this city
caused an estimated damage Of slight
ly more than $1,5OO,OOO, destroying
three buildings and damaging several
adjacent buildings, transforming the
entire district into spectacle of gis-
tening ice.
Six streams of water were kept
pouring into the smouldering ruins
The flremen fought the flames for
fourteen hours continuously. Practi-
cally all losses are said to be covered
by insurance.
The conflagration started on the
first floor of the Day Rubber Com
pany. When the fire department ar
rived a general alarm was immedInte-
ly sent in. The stock of the rubber
company proved ready finder for the
flames and soon blaze was .discov
cred in the Ray Credit Clothing Com
pany building across the alley from
the rubber company that had been
burning for several hours.
Traffic was held Up for hours on
four of the main cross streets Of the
city. Fire vehicles had TO be chopped

LEGION FATHERS
ADDING COUNCILS

The American Legion Fathers, an
auxiliary to the veterans body, has al
ready enrolled a number of councils
as the local units are termed-and APP
plications for information concerning
the auxiliary have been flooding ma
tional headquarters.
The first council to receive char
ter from national headquarters was
formed from fathers of men in Har-
vey post 1855 of the Legion In Harvey,
Ill. Harvey is a suburb of Chicago.
Others of the first five to be estab-
llshed are in Maiden, Mass, st. Paul,
Mimi, Topeka, Kan, and Bellingham.
Wash
The charter fee for a council is $40,
and the application must be signed by
ten men, either fathers of active Lee
gionnaires, or of men who made the
supreme sacrifice In the World war.
The organization is not permitted to
have either state or national author
ity and is governed by the Legion post
TO which attached. The movement is
primarily for the counseling of the Lee
gionnaires, and assistance in carrying
out the principles Of the veterans or
ganization.

Interpretation Of NeD
York Insurance LoUs

Compensation insurance rates for
firms employing slightly disabled
World war veterans should not be
higher, according to the Interpretation
of state insurance laws made by Gov.
A. II. Smith of New York.
The executives ruling came in re-
Spouse to a protest from Department
Commander f. e. Spafford of the
American Legion in New York, who
said that certain veterans found 1t
difficult to obtain employment because
their physical condition increased
rates for workmen's insurance offered
by private concerns.
According to Commander Spafford,
the veterans had been accepted only
as extra hazardous risks, and the Lee
gion sought Qualification of the states
attitude by word from the governor.
II can state to you" wrote Governor
Smith to Commander Spafford, '.that
the state insurance fund does not con-
slider veterans suffering from a partial
disability as extra hazardous risks,
and takes no action, directly or indi-
rectly, whether In premium rates or
merit rating, which would in any way
discourage employment of partially
disabled veterans. Each accident is
considered on the merits of the acct
dent alone"

of enrolling the veterans as Legion
naires is simple but efficient. II ask
them," he says Kass' accomplishment
was completed within 16 days, the du-
ration of the post membership drive
In addition he added members to other
Wayne county posts.
His approach Is such the Legion
officials In Michigan believe that he
must use more craftsmanship than do
either Smith or Hunsdorf. Smiths
plan for reaching the industrial con-
Germs Is sort of an advantage, while
Hunsdorf gets men who are daily en-
joying benefits of the Legion, they
argue And Kass gets out and lands
the members by hard work, according
to their idea.
The three have on a triangular race
for membership honors this year. The
Learned posters have challenged
Omaha post for the greatest mem
bership during 1924, record here
tofore held by the Nebraskans. Kass
is one of the main reliances of the
Detroiters in bringing this honor to
his city.
Hunsdorf is avowed to better his
record by at least hundred, and
while the men Of Monahan post in
Sioux City are dependent on Smith
to handle the recruiting alone, it is
safe to say that his record will approx
innate that of 1923.
The Man from Michigan" has al
ready been proclaimed champion of the
Wayne county council membership
campaign, and his accomplishment re-
quiring less than three weeks would
apparently put him into the national
championship class with good chances
In the final outcome.

THREE MEN LEAD IN
MEMBERSHIP CONTEST

During 1928 honors for securing
members for the American Legion were
about evenly divided between three
City, Ia, a member of the Monahan
post; Hans Hunsdorf, disabled man,
now patient in a Minnesota hospital |;
and John Kass of Detroit, led all
others In securing applications.
Smith obtained his members in a
rather unique manner. He worked out
a scheme known as the "Cudahy plan"
by means of which he caused the big
Industrial firms of Sioux City to pay
up the dues for ex-service employees,
utilizing "checkoff" for repayment.
His record appropriated nearly one
member for each working day of the
year.
Hunsdorf obtained his members by
personal contact, particularly in Vet
Grams Bureau hospitals, and wherever
veterans gathered and rolled his record
up to nearly $50.
Kass, a member of the Charles A.
Learned post in Detroit, made an
earnest campaign for his applicants,
and is said to have interviewed more
ex-service men than either Of the
other two champs" His record APP
proximated that of Hunsdorf. But to
do this. he faced severe competition
from one Theodore Kobe, now depart
ment adjutant of the Legion in Mich
igan. Kolbe's record was near enough
to that of Kass that it took a board of
judges to determine the standing of
the two.
Kass has already made start
toward a 1924 record. On February
80 he had collected dues and spplica-
lions from 66 veterans His method

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Dishes or cooking utensils, soiled by

II soaked in cold water.
Dishes soiled by sugar and starchy
substances may be washed much more
easily If soaked in hot water.
A rug, the edges Of which insist
upon curling up, may be made to lie
fat by placing a wet Turkish towel
over the edge in question and weight
ing 1t down. A good way to weight 1t
Is to put the ironing-board over the
towel and then place several heavy ar
ticles on top of the board. Allow 1t
to dry,
A piece Of oiled paper placed over
the dish holding unused egg yolks will
keep them from getting dry.
Put stale bread through the food
chopper and keep the crumbs in a jar
or crock, covered with a clean muslin
cloth. If kept in container with
lid the crumbs will mold.
Save the small pieces OF soap and
use them to make soap jelly, which,
kept In a mason jar. Is ready for
shampoolng. A box in the bathroom
will prove reminder to gather up the
bits left from the bar.
A finger cut from an old glove, put
over the end of the curtain rod, will
make it much easier to run the curtain
onto the rod.
Rinse off the lemon squeezer imme-
diately upon using 1t and 1t will not
collect that white deposit so impossi-
BILE to remove.
From Holland comes the Edam
cheese, which is round and dyed red
on the outside. In Holland, 1t is often
served in slices, especially when fresh.
In America, slice is usually cut from
the top and the inside scooped out as
needed. 1t is not often used in cook
ing in this country, but an extremely
thrifty person will fill the shell with
rice or macaroni which has been sea-
soned and bake 1t, thereby getting the
last bit Of good from her Edam
cheese
ParIhesan cheese is very hard
cheese known in it's own country, Italy,
as Grana because of the granular APP
pearance it has when broken. II
properly made, IT will keep for years.

Wealth and Industry
as Well as Mar, PotUey

Conscription of wealth and industry
as well as of man power, as enunciated
in the universal draft act, has received
unanimous support from 1000 Boston
citizens.
This bill. now In congress. provides
that every national resource be turned
to government control in case of war
in order to provide the utmost for pro-
lection of the nation. Gen. Charles II.
Edwards, commander Of the American
Legion in Massachusetts, who spoke at
a great mass meeting held In Boston,
said that the greatest tragedy of the
World war was the failure to conscript
other resources as well as those of
manhood.
Another Legion speaker who was ac-
claimed for his stand in this direction,
was Maj. George L. Berry, interna-
tional president of the Printing Press
mems union, who spoke before a gath
ering of Legion men In The Hub city.
Berry, past national vice commander
of the Legion and high in circles of
labor organizations, declared that the
passage of such an act was the best
means to forestall war.
The bill was first passed as a resolu-
tion at the New Orleans convention Of
the Legion, and subsequently intro
duced in congress. 1t has received
support of Secretary of War John w.
Weeks, and other statesmen.

Left Part of Estate
to American Legion

One-fourth of the estate of dis
abled World war veteran who died in
Kansas City, Mo-, was inherited by
the American Legion. The veteran,
Earl Mason OF indianapolis. provided
for the bequest in his will, which
named the head Of the Legion dis
trict disqualification committee as exc
cutor. The estate amounted to APP
proximately $3.50.
The will recites that every con-
sideration and kindness had been
shown to Mason by the Legion, and
that he made the gift as token of
gratitude, and to assist in providing
aid for other disabled veterans. Mason
went to Kansas City several months
ago broken in health and without en-
ployment. The Legion assisted him in
securing compensation and hospital
service.
