ARMY ORDNANCE
DEPOT FIRE IS
UNDER CONTROL

BALTIMORE, Sept. % Up = Fire
which ragged for more than an hour
in an ammunition pit at the Curtis
bay army ordnance depot, several
miles from here, threatened for a
time tonight to wipe out that district
in a disaster similar to that at Lake
Denmark, N. j., in 1926.
Shells dumped into a 15-foot pit for
salvage purposes were detonated in
series of explosions heard and felt
within a radius of a mile. The num-
ber of explosions was variouSly eSti-
mated at from 20 to 100 by residents
of the neighborhood.
While army officials at the reserva-
ton would make no statement pending
a report to Washington, it was under
stood that the fire broke out in the
pit. A silent alarm summoned Bait
imore fire apparatus and coast guards
men also we're called on for aid.
The fact that the main ammunition
store houses, containing hundreds OF
thousands of shells and shrapnel and
10000 tons of powder, were situated
some distance from the pit, afforded
the workers opportunity to seal them
as soon as the fire was discovered.
When the first explosions occurred,
alarming residents of Curtis bay, an
estimated 150f families hustled what
belongings they could take into any
available vehicle, and started for
Baltimore. They returned, however, as
the fire was brought under control.
A large quantity of ammunition and
explosives has been kept at the Curtis
bay depot for some years. Following
the Lake Denmark explosion, how
ever, protests to the war department
brought about the removal OF much OF
the most dangerous stores kept here.
WASHINGTON, Sept. % (P-Major
Charles T. Harris, Jr., executive Of
ficer Of the ordnance department, was
advised about 80 tonight that fire
and explosion at the army depot at
Curtis bay, near Baltimore, had been
brought under control.
Major Harris, who was in conmuni-
cation with the depot, said he was
told check up Of the personnel so
far had disclosed none was injured,
and that property damage had been
slight.
The explosion was caused by heat
from a fire which broke out on a shell
loading platform, he said, and before
it could be brought under control
about 10 six-inch stokes mortar shells
exploded.
! The officer said the army has been
reducing the amount of ammunition
stored at the depot to lessen the dan
ger to Baltimore city and that several
loading platforms had been construct
ed to expedite the work. The fire
broke out on one of the platforms, he
added, and before it could be checked
shells on the structure were fired from
the heat.
Major Harris declared that as re-
suit Of the ammunition on and near
the platform that neither the depot
nor the city of Baltimore were IN
danger.

STRAIGHT FROM PARIS
One Shade Ensemble
Dominates Fashion

PARIS P-One color costumes, or
closely blending shades, still dominate
the fashion ideas of the French.
Contrast is introduced less seldom in
the winter styles than it was in the
summer costumes.
Despite the harmonious tonality Of
the styles Paris does not tolerate dull
ness. Lines and detail must supply the
interest that dresses of black and
white lack in color. Beige and gray
follow the same rule. To be successful
the Partisan dressmaker insists that
the beige or gray dress must be in
teresting above all.
