Area Eight Blocks Square in
Ocean City, N. j., Is Heap
of Ruins.
THREE FIREMEN HURT
One Man Killed, Speeding to
Home Endangered by
Flames.

BIZ United Press
OCEAN CITY, N. j., Oct. ~
An area eight blocks square was
smoldering mass of debris today,
after one of the most disastrous
fires in local history.
Thirty buildings were RACED, caus-
ing a loss of approximately $4,000
600. Among them we're three big
frame hotels, shops, business houses,
garage, two motion picture the
aters, many board walk concessions
and the Hippodrome pier.
Three firemen were injured Sc
verely by glass and flame, one of
them perhaps fatally. Emil Land
bach of Ocean City was killed near
Mays Landing, N. j., when his au-
tomobile skidded and overturned
while he was on his way to the fire.
He had heard that his home was
in danger.
The fire started at p. m. and
within a short time several frame
buildings were ablaze. A shift in
the wind at II p. m. helped check
the blaze. Fireproof buildings along
Asbury Ave-, the main business sec
ton, also aided in checking the
flames.
At midnight fire fighters from a
dozen cities who answered the call
for help had the blaze under con-
troll.
Relief measures for the scores
dispossessed were under way today.
The fact that many lives had not
been lost in the fire is attributed
to the fact most of the cottages,
boarding houses and hotels in the
path of the flames practically were
deserted for the winter.
The population of Ocean City has
shrunk from 100000 to but little
more than its wintertime 5000.
The fire is believed to have been
started by some one who threw a
lighted match into a pile of rubbish
under the board walk.

Dust Off Your M0m0cle,
DOC: and Your Ideas, Too
BY GLADYS CRAIG

- HE New York doctor who
declared that the typical
- young woman office work.
er has "a poor carriage, fiat
chest and prominent abdomen"
certainly never made a tour of
Indianapolis offices.
Over the United Press wire
trickled that statement Of DR..
Wade Wright, assistant medical
director of the Metropolitan Life
Association. Right with it came
an assertion of F. L. Rowland
of Lincoln, Neb., an Office man
ager, that stenographers are
hard to discipline after they are
married and that the average
period of service for young bust
ness women is three years, after
which they marry.
To which dozens of Indian
apolis stenographers replied the
polite equivalent of "razzberries. !"
For, you know, most of our
young business women model
their spoken English after the
quiet, forceful style for which
the men who dictate to them
strive. At least when talking to
reporters.
And as to that poor carriage
stuff-well, Miss Mary E. HON.
burg, employe in the Brown Ell
ficiency Bureau, is a living In
dianapolis refutation of that.
Girls take their work more
seriously after marriage than be-
FORE" said Ancil T. Brown OF the
Brown Efficiency Bureau. MANY
times the husband can't make
enough to support the family
without his wife's help"
In regard to the fiat chests,
Brown thought that it was an
exaggerated medical opinion.
Office managers about the city
declare that some of their girls
have been with them as long as
twelve years, and that their aver
age stay is more nearly seven
years than three. Girls work
after they are married because
they cannot stand the narrow
routine of houSework.
Some take a few years of be-
cause they want a family, but
Just as soon as the babies are
old enough to leave they are
back in business again.
No, sir! That old doctor is a
back number! The business
girl of today devotes herself to
business. Love and marriage
are the parentheses in her life.
And as for fiat chestsl Perish
the thought! They count the
calories and go in for rhythm,
and it's been years since some of
them have dared to look a po-
tato in the face.

There is no place in the Re-

"Of course, personally, don't

any support. No one is beyond
mistakes-but mistakes are not
the reason for this public criti-
cism of the city. 1t dates farther
back. 1t is the work of the same
forces that fought me in the
campaign" Duvall said.
