WAREHOUSES;
Defective Wiring Blamed
for Fire on South
Dakota Street
LOSS is S250,000
Ten Water Lines Are
Strung to Combat Early
Morning Fire.

TWO warehouses and a grain ele-
vator Of the National Elevator
Company, Dakota street near Nor
ris street, were destroyed by fire
believed to have originated from
defective electric wiring early to
day with a loss of $250,000.
When discovered at $3.50 a. m. by
Arthur Kenson, Watchman at the
Van Camp Packing Company ware
house, which adjoins the grain
buildings on the north, the blaze
had consumed the elevator and one
Of the warehouses.
Firebrands from the blazing
buildings dropped on the roof OF
a three story brick warehouse OF
Dilling & Co, candy manufactur-
ers. near the elevator company
buildings, and intense heat Of the
fire ignited the building in several
other places, damaging it more
than $500 before it was eXtin-
guished The Van Camp building
was damaged by water.
Lieutenant Paul Boiling, No. G
fire company, was overcome by
heat, but returned to his command
after DR.. r. H. Young, city hos
pital physician, gave first aid.
AS the flames burst through the
roof of the five-story elevator and
the three story brick oats ware
house behind it, Kenson ran to
turn in an alarm. Three fire COM
panies, racing to the scene, saw a
sheet of flame rise like a gigantic
torch against the sky.
Ten water lines were strung to
combat the blaze. Most Of them
were concentrated on the second
warehouse. a two-story brick struc-
ture housing machinery and a
quantity of oats, and on the Van
Camp and Dilling buildings nearby.
John Jordan, president Of the Ma
tional Elevator Company, arrived at
the IRE shortly after the alarm was
turned in, and said the damage
probably would mount to $250,000.
All loss is fully covered by insur-
ance.
Jordan said he believed the blaze
started in the oats warehouse, from
faulty wiring, although f1remen said
it may have been caused by spon-
taneous combustion Of small grain
particles.
Fire Had Big Start
1T probably will be impossible to
determine the true cause" said Fire
Chief Harry Voschell, who directed
combat of the fire. 1T had terri

Damage to the Van Camp building
was chiefly to contents, soaked by

which vas empty, the roof was badly
burned, and many window frames

tions of walls standing, on which

Turn Down Location
Near Courthouse.

Persons interested in the move
ment for a new separate juvenile
courthouse and detention home for
Marion county today were scrutiniz-
ing a proposal of the county COM
naissioners that county council ap-
propriate 100000 for a site at the
northwest corner of Alabama and
Walnut streets.
The council meets next week anCs
it is understood the commissioners
are recommending the Alabama and
Walnut street site.
John Osbon, SIS West Thirty-third
street has submitted options totaling
$4,000 on the site, which, it is un-
derstood, commissioners are disposed
to take up.
Six Blocks From Courthouse
The commissioners, SO far as can
be learned, have turned down a
proposal Of r. H. Acre for the
southwest corner Of Market and
East streets for $4,000.
The apparent decision Of COM
.nlissioners. to locate the building at
Alabama and Walnut streets, six
blocks from the courthouse, has eX-
cited the interest of social workers
because Juvenile Judge Frank j.
Lahr a number of times has eX-
pressed the desire that his court be
within two or three blocks of the
courthouse for convenience in in
terchange of business between the
two buildings. The Market and
East street site is two blocks from
the courthouse.
Commissioners have kept negotia-
tions secret. but it was learned that
OSbon's proposal calls for $404 a
square foot, whereas Acre offers the
site closer to the courthouse for
$3.04 a square foot, the higher total
price Of Acres Market and East plot
being due to its far greater size.
Acres Price Is Lower
Acres price is lower a square foot
than the other site, despite the fact
that the real estate alone on his
site is assessed for taxation at S1.85
square foot as compared with 95
cents for Osbon's site.
Acre has offered to split his tract
into smaller portions at the rela-
lively lower price a square foot if
commissioners do not desire tO buy
the whole tract, which incluc es a
quarter of a block.
Juvenile authorities also were
wondering what attitude the Gen.
tral Christian Church, Delaware
and Walnut street, would take to-
ward establishment of the home
across the alley from the church.
The Rev William a. Shullenber-
ger pastor, made no comment.

"SIGHT LINE" IS HELD
FACTOR IN DRIVING
Baltimore Safety Council Director
/ Advises Motorists Should Know
4 When to "step Of Gas"
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January 26.-The
"sight line" is an important factor in
, driving an automobile, and motorists
should keep a watchful eye upon it,
according to J. P. Rostmeyer, director
Of the Baltimore Safety Council.
The building line determines the
sight line, he pointed out. Since the
building line can't be showed back, the
driver Should step Of the gas in time
TO allow a safe and sane approach to
another street.
Few drivers realize that when they
are travelling at the rate Of Is miles
= an hour they are covering 36.7 feet
. second" said Mr.. Rostmeyer. "At
/ that speed the maximum stopping
power Of four-wheel brakes Is 20 feet
and the average 40 feet. For two-wheel
brakes the maximum Is 40 feet and
the average 80 feet.
These are figures put out by the
United States Bureau of Standards,
not by my department. There may be
can stop faster than that Perhaps
he can, but if there is any one with
him the passenger is going through the
windshield.
"Baltimore's average street." said the
director, lis 80 feet wide. An automo-
bile approaching an intersection at a
speed Of Is miles an hour or more is
inviting disaster, for it will take 20
feet at the very minimum to stop If
the brakes are applied Immediately,
which Is seldom done. If his brakes
are not functioning 100 per cent it will
take 40 feet, plenty for a smashup.
Either that or the driver is forced to
EaIrn hard into the path Of other traffic,
orten running on the pavement, where
innocent pedestrians are.
For his own safety and the safety
of others and to reduce the total OF
l3,701 accidents that occurred in the
city last year, the driver might step of
the gas when it isn't safe to step
or it,"

MOUNTING MILEAGE
FOR AUTOS FORESEEN
Rubber Company Predicts Steady
Increase in Next Six Months.
Averages Are Cited.

Steadily mounting monthly automobile
mileage will be observed for the next
six months, according to a survey by
the Miller Rubber Co. of Akron, Ohio
eliminating in July and August with
the highest monthly mileage in the
year.
The greater mileage in July and Au-
gust is accounted for by the fact that
most persons are on vacation in those
months and do more driving than at
other times in the year. Miller figures
indicate that 10 per cent of the years
driving Is done in each of those two
months.
January appears as the month when
least driving is done, taking the coun-
try as a whole. The average driver,
however, will travel two-thirds as many
miles in January as he will in July or
August, in spite of the less favorable
Midwinter weather conditions.
There is slightly more driving in
February than in January, with a con-
siderable increase for March and April.
Beginning with October, the monthly
average decreases steadily until Janu-
airy.
In certain portions of the country. par
ticularly the South and Southwest, au-
tomobile mileage remains fairly con-
slant throughout the year, while In ex-
IRENE Northern States the variation Of
travel throughout the year is much
greater than that indicated by the av-
erage.
While Summer mileages still are
higher than those covered in Winter,
students of automobile trends assert
that Winter driving is much more prev
alent now than 1t was few years ago.
Roads are better, cars are easier to
start and operate, and people have
adopted the automobile as a year round
method of transportation, when 10
years ago the average driver stored his
car throughout the Winter months.
