FIRE BREAKS OUT IN VERMONT FLOOD AREA Ludlow Buildings Leveled /; Many Cambridge Houses
 in Flames

Ludlow, Vt. Nov. 7.-(By Wire less from the Associated Press Massachusetts Institute of Technolo- gy Flood Radio Station). --- Fire which broke out here early today threatened for a time to carry out the work of destruction left undone by the rising waters. Tanned by a high wind the fire swept through a building on the river front and sparks were scattered about the town. The flames finally were put under control with water pumped from the river.
 Residents had. retired early last night in s.n etfC"t to obtain the first real sleep they had since the flood struck the town last Thursday. Al i a. m. couriers dashed through the main street warning householders Of what threatened to be general con- flagraton.
 A three story wooden building near the river front, adjoining the only bridge that remained standing, was on fire. 4 bakery in the building was a. mas of flames and the gale was carrying flying embers for blocks. A coating of snow upon the roofs, however. saved the houses.
 The fire burned for two hours be- fore volunteers working pumps sue cceded in extinguishing 1t. The towns water supply had been put out of commission by the flood and the river provided the only means of fighting the blaze.
 Townspeople of Ludlow today were still carrying their drinking water from springs. There was none for any other purposes. Most of the homes are without heat beyond that provided by kitchen stoves. Electric current has been restored to most of the houses but the streets were still dark through the night.
 The story of a great landslide al Cavendish where eight houses were overwhelmed was told here today. The residents of the houses fled to safety before their homes were swept away and are now being cared for by the Red Cross and the Salva- ton Army.

Wade again was nominated and elected to office and had served as mayor from the time of his being sworn in on the first Monday of January. 1922, to the present time.

Burned so terribly seven weeks ago that his life was despaired of, three-year- old Edward Ziegler to- day underwent the third operation in a series of four which are being performed to assist the youngster in his courageous battle against death. Two of his brothers have sacrificed portions of their skin to aid in the struggle of the boy, who is the son of Mir. and Mrs. Henry J. Zegler Of 53 Hillcrest avenue. A member of the local fire department has given 8 pint of his blood, and a second fireman will make similar contri- button next week.
 Eddie was tarned the night Of September 20. when he crawled out of bed and under it and commenced to play with q box of matches. One of these ignited his nightclothes, and before his terrified parents could answer his agonized shrieks, Ed die had received deep burns over such large portion Of his little body that it was considered doubt full that he could survive.

HOPE TO OBTAIN 5,Q0O NAMES FOR RED CROSS Quota of New Britain Chapter Raised for
 Flood Relief

Urged on by the need of imme- dlate steps for the relief of flood sufferers. this time in territory inn mediately adjacent to their own dis trlct, instead of in q distant spot, the directors of the New Britain Chap ter of the Red Cross held q special meeting this morning and decided 10 increase the allotment of members in this city from 5000, the original number, to 5000 and to prcc4cd if possible with an immediate canvass for memberships.
 The New Britain chapter is in re- ccipt of q letter from Rcd Cross Ma { tional Headquarters to the effect that tha emergency fund of that or sanizat!On could. at present at least, take care of necessary relief in tho New England district and there would be no occasion for an imme- liate solicitation of funds for food relief. It urged. however, that the local chapter mako a more vigorous campaign for members than had been originally planned. stating that it would be necessary because of the disaster that the country show an enrolment of five million members by Thanksgiving Day.
 The local directors had accepted q quota Of 5000 members for the city of New Britain, but they feel that the quota can easily be raised to 5000 Tn view of the urapiEQuity ot the trouble and the difference in the national quota. With the idea of taking care of future requests from the natiou9l headquarters, should they be fCrthcna2irg. it was also voted that the local branch be empowered to contribute from its own funds for New England flood sclief in accordance with needs as later determined.
 Strenuous efforts will be made to undertake the raising of the 5000 membership quota here as soon as possible. The campaign was to have started Friday, November II, but it was decided to hold q meet ing of the workers tomorrow night at 7:3O in the Chamber of Con- mercc rooms, with probabilities that the campaign will be launched , Wednesday.

FACTS ABOUT FADING.
Well to Keep Radio Adjustments
Above Falling Point.

Before leaving the set and after
having tuned it, the question of fading
should be considered. 1t is well to
attempt to keep the adjustments
above the fading point. This usually
Is a matter of filament current adjust
ment, handled by the detector and
amplifler rheostats. But sometimes
where tuning has been accomplished
through detuning in order to avoid
interference the matter becomes one
Of regulation of the detuning, which
always is done with one of the con-
denser knobs.
There should be some margin for
fading; that is, first discover at what
rheostat settings the set will operate
for the particular station. This will
be the minimum current adjustment.
Then control for O. little extra current
in case the station fades. If the set is
left with a minimum adjustment,
there Is certain to be loss Of the sig
nails If fading commences.
