Norway, Maine, Dec 12.+-(P)-Fire
that roared through an isolated little
farmhouse five miles from this viii
lage had taken a toll Of two lives in
a family of seven today. Mrs. Marian
Smart, 26 and her IL year old son,
Walter, were the victims.
When the flames drove the family
into the open in their night clothing
late last night, George, 6, became
confused and ran back into the
house. Mr.. and Mrs. Smart followed,
and it was Mrs. Smart who pushed
by her husband and brought the boy
out Of the open attic, where the four
Oldest children slept. Mother and son
were badly burned.
With George safe in the open again
Walter dashed into the house, crying
for his mother. The farmer and his
wife were unable to follow and were
forced to watch the blazing building
collapse on their boy. With the four
surviving children they pushed bare
footed through the drifted snow to
the house of Virgil Dunn, their near
est neighbor, a quarter of a mile
away. Mrs. Smart died here this
morning froIl her burns and expos
ure.
Smart said he believed the flames
started when the children's clothes,
damp from days play in the snow,
caught fire from the kitchen stove
near which they had been hung out
to dry. Dunn and other neighbors
were caring for Smart and his chill
dren today.

night in City hall was held the final
session of the nineteenth annual

Fred B. Smith. general chairman of
the World Alliance to Promote
Friendly Relations, was the speaker.
He took for his subject: "Is the

which he answered in the affirmative
as to the present, but with grave
doubts as to the future. 1.-THE feel
ing of self-complacency with which
our nation faces world problems, the
wave of crime which has swept over
the country, the manner in which
the Volstead law has been avoided,
all spell decline for the government.
The nations of the world will rise
and fall as one" said the speaker.

No Grease Bathing
Suits at COny Island

New York, Dec. 12.-P)-This talk
of using an inch of grease for a

the holiday season of Police Captain
James Gillen, who bosses the beaches
of Coney Island.
Although the season is five months

a quarter of a million bathers under

progressive ideas, even before Mrs.
Lottie Schoemmell announced her
idea of attire for the Catalina prize

"They had better not come to
Coney with any such suits averred

Ask Padlocking
All Joy Places in
Italy After 4 Deaths

Rome, Dec. 12--(P1-Permanent
padlocking of all cabarets, night
clubs and dance halls in Italy IL de-
manded by the semi official news
paper, Popouo Roma, commenting on
the fire Friday night in the Apollo
Music Hall, in which four women lost
their lives.
Theatres and music houses, says
the paper, should be allowed to func-
ton only when guaranteeing absolute
safety. but cabarets and night clubs
should be closed permanently be-
cause, it contends, "the only purposes
they serve are facilitation of drunk
enness, the use of drugs, propaga-
ton of disease, encouragement Of
idleness, the wasting of money and
corruption Of youth
The Observatory RC~lano, the Vati-
can organ, also urged abolition of
cabarets.

He took one Of the stolen receiving
sets home with him to experiment
with; now he is a fugitive from JUS
tice and some $4,000 in loot he had
secreted in his apartment has been
recovered.
A virtuoso in burglary, COME was
a rank amateur with the radio. His
handling of the big set he had APP
propriated kicked up such an aerial
disturbance in his immediate vicinity
that wireless fans of the neighbour
hood began to complain. To make
matters worse one enthusiast was a
detective attached to the Berlin pol
ice force.
Accustomed to official smelling ex-
petitions, the detective nosed around
to some purpose and ultimately by a
subterfuge, obtained an - nee to
Comics fiat. Not only was the mis-
behaving wireless set discovered. but
thousands of dollars worth of other
stolen property was located. Comic

ing in congress this winter. and in
the opinion of agricultural leaders,
the storm is due to break shortly af-
ter the Christmas recess.
A beginning has been made, but
the main attack is expected after
senate and house COMMITTEES begin
hearings on a revised McNary-
Haugen bill which Senator McNary,
Republican, Oregon, " introduce in
a few days, with colleague, as yet
unnamed, probably introducing a
companion bill in the house
In the interim the farm relief ques-
ton has been the outstanding under
cover topic at the Capitol.
Republicans from the middle west
make no secret of the fact that they
need support from southern Demo-
Gratis, inasmuch as they regard most
Of the eastern legislators as much
opposed to relief measures as they
were in the last congr SIS.
There has been difference of
opinion among farm groups as to the
position of President Coolidge.
Although the position of the presi-
dent on specific proposals has not
been clearly defined, the farm bloc
members hold that they are justified
in pushing the question with the
hope of bringing favorable action
from both houses, thus placing the
whole relief business squarely before
Mr.. Coolidge.
The first, concrete work will begin
this week when the house agriculture
committee considers the Tincher bill
which aims to amend the packers
and stockyards act to provide termi-
nal stockyards to facilitate marketing
of cattle.
