It is not known how the fire started or the circumstances as apparently Sigway was the only person at the place. The inn had heen padlocked for some time because liquor had been soli there.
 Lawrence Haieht of 3o9 East End avenue. Bridgeport. was passing the inn when he saw signs of fire. He went 10 door just as Sigway stumbled out with his clothing abla2e,
 The loss on the inn was estimated at $25,000. It was owned by Sigway and he alone probably knew what vas in it. The theory is that Sigway found the place afre and tried 10 fight the flames and in doing so had his clothes iguitcd.
 Chief of Police Harry Smith of Darien. this afternoon stated that his inquiry indicated that there had been two explosions in the inn which started the fire, and search of the rmns disclosed what appeared 10 be metal parts of two slugs
 Chief Smith who was recently ap- pointed to the office created by a new law. was Of the opinion that Sieway was operating the stills at the time of the explosion.
 X revised estimate Of the loss plaC- cd the figure at $S0ooo, No one else was at the inn al the time Of fire. and apparently Sigway alone has been accustomed to go 10 the place since it was padlocked,

"STUDY ECONOMICS" A FORDIAN PRECEPT

Horace Greeley said "go west, young man." somebody once told 'em to go south; but Henry Ford doesn't care to suggest a long trip either by train or flivver and con- sequently gives 'cm the advice to stay where they are and study economics,
 Mark, it is not that they should study economy, as many q man, if he had done that, would never have owned q flivver; the Fordian precept is to study economies.
 Now the difficulty with studying economies is the development of a tendency to imagine that q monopoly of wisdom is the first fructificatlon of the study. When young man begins to study economies he soon concludes that he can run everything in town better than the warped minds and spavined individuals who happen to be on the job. Previous to studying economies he might have concluded with his father that only the newspapers could be better con- ducted by amateurs; but with econo- mics 1afely stored in the eerv~'S!
