Three cottages at Hitchcock's Lake were destroyed by fire yester- day afternoon notwithstanding val iant efforts of two score of yolun- teer workers, who formed bucket brigade and gave battle to the flames. A fourth cottage was badly damaged. Were it not for the work of the hurriedly organized bucket brigade other summer residences would have been destroyed. The loss is placed between $6,000 and $7,5O0. Edmund J. Duchesneau of 2S Ayers street was the owner of the cottages destroyed. They were located on what is known as Alma

The little structure was enveloped in flames when the firemen reached the scene after a rough journey over almost impossible roads. It; was while fire apparatus was contending with this proposition that a call for help came from the Wolcott authorities. Chief Henry H. Heitman, however, was reluctant to dispatch apparatus to the lake and uncover some section of the city. It is a question whether

 Fire officials have yet to deter mine the cause of the blaze which destroyed the Marine residence, but they are inclined to the opinion that it started in a bedroom and within a few minutes the flames had pene- trated the roof. Three companies of apparatus were sent to that section of the city, which is reached by way of Walnut street extension. Garden Hill is that little settlement on the east side of Lakewood. A number of little homes dot the terrace that residents have built in recent years. Several homes have been burned down or badly damaged in that dis trict within recent years.

 An oil stove is believed to have been responsible for the fire at the lake. MT Duchesneau and two boys were working nearby when the fire broke out. Within few minutes two cottages were in flames and be- fore the smoke and flames attracted nearby residents and passing motor ists they were burning briskly. A breeze favorable to the workers un- doubtedly save other nearby cot. tages.

High Capital Official Says

scripDs- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON. May 15.--Ameri-
cas- attitude on war debts may IN
dergo a radical reorientation fol-
lowing the world arms conference
scheduled to begin at Geneva next
February.
If the conference succeeds and
something is really done to limit the
war establishments Of the principal
nations, the United States may look
with favor upon a substantial re-
duction, or even cancellation, Of
war debts.
If the conference fails, a new
arms race will almost inevitably
result in Europe, and Washington
certainly will stand pat on existing
debt agreements. Any reductions,
it will be felt, would simply amount
to contributing money for a new
and more terrible war.
Such is the opinion Of one Of the
highest officials in the national
capital. His views. however, are
significant when considered in the
light Of President Eoover's pro-
nouncement calling for a halt on
ornaments.
Fundamentally, he said, the Amer
lean public IS not inclined to play

LONDON, May l5.-Children in
almost 5000 British schools receive
daily lessons over the radio through
the national system Of educational
broadcasting which Britain claims
can not be touched in any other
country.
Educators from all parts Of Eu-
rope come to London TO study the
British system. Recently numerous
inquiries have been received from
broadcasters and educational groups
In the United States.
The British system Of instruc-
ton by radio will be fully explained
to Americans by Sir John Reith,
director general Of the British
Broadcasting Corporation, when he
addresses the first assembly Of the
National Advisory Council on Radio
in Education in New York in May.
For seven years, the British
Broadcasting Corporation under
Reith has been studying the posi-
bilities Of education by radio. Two
years ago it was joined by the Cen
trail Council for School Broadcast
ing, an organization representing
the principal educational interests
Of the country.
Together these two groups have
developed an elaborate program Of
broadcasttng for schools. Each
school day afternoon between 2:30
and 4:3o, programs are broadcast
which supplement the regular
courses Of study.
The radio courses are divided into
four terms which coincide with the
four terms Of the school year.
Courses include history, English,
nature study, biology and hygiene
and rural science.
French, taught by an experienced
French instructor, is one of the
most popular courses. On Fridays,
dramatic readings, such as Shake
spearean plays, with concerts on
alternate weeks have proved an
other popular feature.

THE CARELESS SMOKER

A fool there was and his pipe he lit
Gwen as you and u
On forest trail where the leaves were
fit.
To become ablaze from the smallest bit
OF spark-and the fool he furnished it
Gwen as you and y
The forest was burned to its very roots
Even beneath the ground
With the flowers, the birds and the
poor dumb brutes,
Old hoarv oaks, and the tender shoots
Which might have made logs but for
such galoots,
Allowed to wander round
A deadly sight are those hills Of rocks
Which once were beds of green;
No hope for the human, no food for
the flocks:
The floods must be held by expensive
locks.
While the harbor is silted to the docks
The ships no more are seen.
But the fool smokes on in the forest
still,
Leaving campfires burning, too,
While the patient public pays the bill
And the nations wealth is destroyed
for nil.
If the law doesn't get hiru the devil
will
Smoker, it's up to you.
