Without any warning whatever a flash of fire appeared from the machine, op- erated as it is by kerosene oil, under air pressure Mrs. Rus so was fortunate in reaching the street before the fire filled the store.

Several motorists appearing at the office of Superintendent Roach to protest the tickets this morning were reminded that left-hand park ing is strictly forbidden in virtually every other city in the state. Hence forth, the superintendent declared, no excuses will be accepted for this type of violation and offenders must pay the prescribed fine of one dol- lar.
 No separate check of the persons who paid for left-hand parking was kept this morning, but authorities said the number of such violators was large.
