ing Plant Made More Difficult by
Escaping Ammonia Fumes.

A stubborn basement fire, made
more difficult to fight by ammonia
fumes from refrigeration plant
damaged the Dupont Flower Shop.
Inc, 20l2 p street this morning, and
smoldered for several hours.
The fire was discovered by Elmer
g. Mayberry, president and manager
of the company, about 7:30, when he
opened the basement door, and was
engulfed in cloud of ammonia laden
smoke.
In addition to firemen and apparatus
from No. l, No. 8. and No. % engine
houses and No. truck. the rescue
squad from No. ., with gas masks was
sent to the scene, and for hours
fought the fumes and hidden smolder-
ing fire. Intense cold of the most
bitter morning of the year so far
made the work more difficult and
water froZe in many places outside,
rendering the sidewalks slippery and
dangerous.
Mr.. Mayberry said he could not as
yet estimate the damage, nor was any
one able to say how the fire started.

Clinton y. Howard of Rochester,

who recently stirred national and in
ternational attention with his com
munications on prohibition to Presi-
dent Coolidge and the Pope. declared
in a statement here last night that
there had been some improvement
in prohibition enforcement since the
united committee placed the respon-
sibility at the door of the White
House."
Recent statements by high Govern
ment officials, Mr.. Howard said, had
confirmed the committees charges
or lax enforcement. In this connec-
ton he referred to a recent address
by United States District Attorney
Buckner at New York. in which MIR.
Buckner was said to have related a
conference with Il high prohibition
enforcement official. The latter, said
Mr.. Howard, told the attorney that

pairs and come in a full array Of
pastel colors or white.
Here Are Practical Gloves
A very practical glove, now being
worn by the best dressed women,
is made Of white, tan or grey wash
able kid or suede. For the woman
who desires something a wee bit
different, there Is the one clasp KID
glove, in various colors, with turn
back cuffs. The cuffs are trimmed
with tiny inserts of colorful petite
point and the stitching OF the glove
matches the predominating color OF
the insert.
The tailored dress which often
needs just touch to brighten 1t up
will find itself rejuvenated with
white or pastel satin or organize
collar and cuff sets.
Whatever the size of the scarf
may be, fashion has decreed that IL
must be square. For sports wear,
it is fashioned of figured crepe with
solid colored landings. For dress
wear scarfs are made of solid colored
silk fabrics on which are painted
motifs. of all kinds. The rich metal
lie scarfs, which are used for eve
ming wear, are lined with chiffon
and banded in silver or gold cloth.
Some scarfs are so large in size that
they can be worn as a wrap.

idea that will commend itself to any
housewife.
The water supply is to be con-
sidered for wash day. A water
softener and a water heater are two
very necessary mechanical helps,
that is, If one lives in a hard water
district.
Another device that lends itself to
making wash day easier is an
electric dryer. Sunshine. alas, can
not be turned on like water from a
clothes dryer Is blessing indeed.
Built.in ironing Board
Then when the wash is all ready
for ironing, the matter of equipment
for ironing must be considered.
Where space Is restricted. a built in
ironing board is a great help. with
a shelf at the top of it's cupboard on
which to keep the electric iron.
Special plugs and switches are now
available so that one may tell at a
glance whether the electricity is on
or off.
Besides the iron and a good board
another helper is an ironing ma
chine. OF these there are many
makes to choose from. One has a
swinging table top. This is swung
out to one side when the machine is
in use, giving a space on which to
place freshly ironed clothes. or
sprinkled rolls Of washing. There
Is no question about the tremendous
saving Of time and energy that these
machines offer.
Two small rooms seem necessary
