2,500 CHICKS ESCAPE
 ROASTING TO DEATH
Were to Be Moved Today Into Brooder Destroyed
 by Fire

Taking fire from a stove which Is believed to have overloaded the peat moss flooring, a wooden brooder at Thomas w. Groves poultry plant just over the New Britain -Newing- ton town line on the road to West Hartford, was burned to the ground about o'clock this morning. Yes terday Mir. Grove, whose home IS at 64' Grove Hill. this city, planned to transfer 25o0 baby chicks from his incubators to the brooder, the build ing having 5000 capacity. but with out any particular reason. he chang ed his mind and decided to make the transfer today. He was overjoyed this morning that he had delayed moving the chicks, for they would have been roasted to death without a chance for their lives.
 The brooder was one of several wooden buildings at the poultry plant, and was built last year by MT. Grove. It was 20x60 feet, two stories in height, and had modern equip ment. Five stoves supplied heat, and the theory Is that one or more of them became overloaded during the night. At II o'clock, a caretaker ex- amined the premises and found the fires safe, MT. Grove said this morn ing. ...I
 Two motorists passing the place discovered the fire and notified MT. and Mrs. William O'Leary. who oc- cupy the dwelling house at the plant. They in turn notified Mir. Grove, who telephoned to First Deputy Chief F. F. Barnes of the fire de- partment. Co. No. was sent out and Chief w. J. Noble, who was at home, was notified by Chief Barnes and also responded.
 The blaze, which had obtained a good start before being discovered. illuminated the sky for miles around and the firemen. as they drew near it. feared every building on the premises was burning. Sparks and embers were flying and the heat was intense. There being no hydrants nearby, the firemen used only chem icals and were able to prevent a spread of the fire to the other build ings. This proved a szeable task, as high wind was blowing. In the opinion of the firemen, at least the garage and possibly the dwelling would have caught from the sparks had the discovery of the fire been q did not return to their quarters until after 4 o'clock. all possibility of fur ther damage having been eliminated before they left.
 The poultry plant is in Newington and Pennington, MT. Grove said this morning. It Is just beyond New Britain. It Is well equipped farm. with modern facilities for raising chickens, MT. Grove being an en- thusiastic poultry fancier. The brooder will cost at least $500 to replace, he said. and it Is his in- tention to build 1t In a different To- cation as he is superstitious that Il luck may be attached to the particu- lar spot where the fire occurred. The work of the firemen pleased Mir. Grove greatly. They did well 10 save the other buildings" he said. T am very thankful to them for their efforts"
 Sergeant Matthias Rival, on duty at police Headquarters, was notified of the fire by Officer William J. Me Carthy at 2:09 o'clock. The sky was brightly illuminated and the crack ling of the timbers could be heard at a great distance.

Sale of Cigarettes
 Legalized in Kansas

Topeka, Kans., Feb. 2 LP-The Kansas legislature today completed action to legalize the sale of cigar cites in the state when the senate passed the house bill to repeal the state anti-cigarette statute. The measure. which places two cent tax on each package sold, now goes to Governor Ben s. Paulen.
 Whether the governor will sign the measure is problematical as shortly before it's passage by the senate, he notified that body that he did not approve a provision to i'm prison retailers who might sell cigarettes to minors. He also indi- cated that the proposed anti-adver- Using section was not satisfactory.

WATERBURY BLAZE
 DOES BIG DAMAGE Loss S@0,0M When MOriarty
 Building Is Destroyed 30 FAMILIES DRIVEN OUT
Two Persons Injured-F1re Occurs On Twenty Fifth Anniversary of Great Fire Which Razcd Center of City.

Waterbury, Feb. 2.-iP-Damage of more than s200,000 was done by fire which destroyed the Moriarty Building in East Main street early today on the 18th anniversary of the fire which burned out the heart of the city with a loss of million and a half dollars.
 Two Persons Hurt
 There was no fatalities in today's fire, but two persons were hurt, thirty families driven out of their apartments and the property of some twenty-five firms destroyed. Fire companies were at work on the blaze this afternoon. The fire was of mys- terious origin, the fire chief having discarded the theory that it started from heater.
 The fire losses are partly covered by insurance. The building which was burned covered about an area of one acre, was of old-time factory construction and once was used by the Blake and Johnson Com
 
 stores and many offices and tene- ments. Because of its solid construc- tion the fire burned long and at times fiercely and hose companies continued until after the noon hour to pour water into 1t.
 Fire Spreads Quickly
 The fire started about 12:o7 and spread so quickly that persons on the second and higher floors found their escape cut off by the way of fire escapes on that side. It was necessary for firemen to force their way upstairs to aid tenants in reach ing the exits and safety in the street.
 The fire started with such rapidity that those living on the second floor were cut off from the fire escape on the west side of the building. Many who were reused from sleep by the cry of fire, jumped to the ground suffering slight injuries. Ten fire companies fought the blaze from all sides but 1t was not until 3:30 that 1t was declared under control.
 Origin Not Determined
 Fire Chief Henry Eitman said to- day that the origin of the fire had not yet been determined. First re- ports of the blaze starting from the heating system were discredited by the chief. Residents of the building believe that the fire was incendiary in nature but fire officials refused 10 substantiate this report before mak- ing more complete investigation.

Under the above caption Jens Han
sen, northwest of Askov, writes to the
American, that he and his wife, their
son, Kenneth, and Peter Jeppesen
drove to Zimmerman, down in Sher-
burne county, Sunday to visit some
old friends that they had not seen
in seven years.
Mr.. Hansen goes on and writes as
follows:
"Tt was a fine trip, the road was
good except for a few places a little
rough, but not bad.
"The hay crop looks good but not
much clover after getting past Sand
stone--mostly wild hay with a little
timothy mixed A few fields of rye
look good but most of them have a
thin stand. Oats and potatoes look
better around here than any l saw
along the road and are just as far
ahead here Corn is mostly very
light stand, few fields a little ahead
of Askov where it is on sandy soil.
but a poor stand.
cit does a fellow good to get out
and see what other people are doing
and then come home and see that you
are living in as good, If not better
place than the other fellow.
'tAskov looks good to me, even if
we have the stones to pick"
