HOTEL BLAZE

Two thousand persons gathered
about the Washington Hotel
shortly after noon today to watch
firemen extinguish blaze in a
grease stack in a penthouse on
the roof of the building.
The fire caused a traffic jam
along Pennsylvania Avenue, but
failed to create any noticeable ex.
citement among guests of the
hotel.
The fire was the second within
two hours on the hotel roof
About 10 o'clock a small grease
stack was ignited and quickly
extinguished by firemen.
Two hours later, flames burst
through the roof Of the pent.
house as the second fire got
under way.
Deose clouds of smoke rolling
down from the penthouse caused
the diSbandment of a meeting of
the Woman's National Confer
ence for Law Enforcement in
the sun parlor on the roof.
Fire Chief George Watson eX.
pressed the opinion that an ac-
emulation of grease and tar in
the stack became ignited as the
result of the first fire. Damage
was slight.

Fzv Into a Rage

Experiments with animals
proved that such emotions as
rage and fear cause a decrease in
fat, DR.. Himwick said.
He told of cat being placed
in a small cage in front of a
large dog. The dog tried to get
at the cat and when he could
not reach the feline became more
enraged while the cat became
more frightened every minute.
Blood tests showed the amount
of fat consumed to be the same
