MIAMI, Feb. 22-P-Despite the
combined efforts of the 900 mill
ionaires' OF Madison Square Gar
den, the social enthusiasm and the
ingenuity Of the ballyhoO experts,
u seemed today that the success Of
the second battle al the palms. less

sparring partner.
Jack Sharkey. by contrast with
this. has impressed the most un-
biased critics as probably being in
the best fighting condition and

Boston sailor after an in-and-out
career seems to have found an in
centive in the prospect of gaining
recognition as a worlds title holder
by next summer. 1t has stimulated
his work and frame of mind. AS a
result he stood today an almost
prohibitive favorite to beat Scott.
Experts believe he will win inside

.COLMAR MANOR
HOME BURNS

COLMAR MANOR, Md, Oct.
20.-The home of John W. Muir
ray, restaurant owner, was partly
destroyed by fire yesterday with
damages Of $2,500.
Mr.. Murray and his wife re-
manned at their lunch room on
the BladenSburg Pike to sleep,
and it was this perhaps that saved
their lives when their home was
destroyed by a blaze that kept
two nearby fire companies busy
until daylight.
It was. not until the fire was
out that Mr.. Murray learned of
the loss Of the home, which was
partly covered by insurance. Both
the Cottage City and BladerS.
burg fire companies responded.
Origin OF the blaze could not
be determined. Earlier in the
evening Mr.. Murray had built a
fire in the furnace to heat water,
but he denied that his action
then was the cause Of the fire.
Local officers advanced the theory
that a proWler caused the fire.

Asserting that the Federal Gov

ance of drought-stricken farmers,
as it did for Mississippi flood vic
tins, Henry Holzapfel, chairman
Of the relief committee appointed
by Governor Ritchie for Washing
ton county, told the Hagerstown
Chamber Of Commerce that this
appears to be the only solution Of
the problem.
Mr.. Holzapfel stated that the
Baltimore banks apparently are
willing to lend money to the
county banks in Maryland for the
relief of the farmers. but the
county banks are required to put
up gilt-edged collateral and that
the latter would be left holding
the bag if the farmers could not
pay back the loans.

Of volunteer fire history precedent
was broken recently by the mayor
and common council here when a
member of the local fire company
was placed on a salary to insure
additional safety to Hyattsville
residents.
Harry Wilcox, for many years a
parttime member of the local fire
company, was put in charge of
the firehouse and its maintenance
on an eight-hour basis for seven
days week by the decision of
the council here Friday night.
His salary was set at $125 q
month.
The duties of the newly ap
pointed machinist viii consist of
driving the fire trucks and of
maintaining their upkeep. He will
have full charge of the firehouSe
and engines in the absence Of
Chief John Fainter.
It is the first time in local fire
history that a paid man has been
placed on the lists of the volunteer
firemen, and some discussion was
raised as to the precedent it
might establish. The action of
the mayor and council came after
a request had been received by
them from the members of the
fire company that a paid man be
placed in charge of the engine
