START SHOvELING

The good citizen will not wait to
see what the neighbor is going to do
about cleaning the pavement but do
the work that properly belongs to
the property owner, both pavement
and gutter, where snow is concerned.
Just now that is question. There
is an ordinance concerning this but
why have to enforce it through a
fine? Why not show good citizen
ship in worldly sense and do the
work and give better satisfaction all
around. Why not commence in the
present circumstances? Some do it
with plenty of property space, why
not all?

cigars and the furnishing of special
music by Thomas Lee, of this city
who made an appropriate speech
thanking the members for theii
prompt action in saving his property
at Five Points.

Fire Damages
Masonic Hall
Second Time
Five Outside Companies Respond To $4,000
Blaze. Started In Basement Similar To Fire
January 22nd, Ten Years Ago. Several Fire
fighters Overcome By Smoke

The fire in Masonic Hall, Sunday
evening, January 22nd, 1915, and that
of last evening showed a striking
contrast in firefghting. Besides our
own city's apparatus of the improved
type, the Chiefs call for help
brought magnificent equipment from
Delanco, Riverside, Palmyra, River
ton and Burlington, and the many
powerful streams of water which
poured into the building prevented
its complete destruction. The prom
ptness with which the outside COM
panies responded showed clearly the
benefit of the Burlington County
Firemens' Association and Chief Ed
ward v. Adams desires his apprecia-
ton expressed thereof.
The fire which started in the base
ment, about o'clock was discovered
by Mrs. Addie Cramer, an employee
of Rowe's Department Store, who
Immediately turned in an alarm and
inside of half an hour over 2,000
spectators were viewing the blaze.
Little thought was given until, like
the previous fire, flames shot through
the partition into the store of Mary
A. Rowe, then the seriousness of the
conflagration was realized.
The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
Company's branch store which is un-
der the management of Grover Hor-

smoke and water and it was here

of Mary A. Rowe, and on up through
the floor to the Masonic Hall ball
room on the second floor and then
on up to the lodge rooms on the
third floor.

Wow! The hero and the villain
fight for each others life blood in
the most realistic combat since that

The explosion sequence was dan
gerous task from technical stand
point, but its effectiveness more than
discounts the trouble procuring it.
And it is not merely meaningless
device dragged into the picture ex-
traneously. 1t is the climax of the
.prologue-a vital bit in which sea
captain, leaving his watch to save
his wife from the enemy, is blinded
by the explosion which results from
his forgetting his duty to the ship in
his more important duty to the wo-
man he loves.
And the fire at sea not only
gives effective photography. II
stamps the hero with dishonor, as
well as giving opportunity for the
use Of the fire patrol for the first
time in motion pictures.

to describe. The thought of it causes
