FIRE DAMAGES
6 BUILDINGS

With the last bitter blasts OF
last nights gale whipping about
their ears, firemen were called
upon today to battle more than
a score of blazes having their
origin in overheated furnaces, de-
fective flueS and blocked Chin
neyS.
Fire Chief Charles E. Schrom
took personal charge of two
double alarm fires, both of which
for a time threatened to assume
conflagration proportions.
The first of these broke out
shortly after 6 o'clock this morn
ing and swept through four small
two-story frame houses at Fourth
Street and Maryland Avenue
Southwest before it was brought
under control. This blaze, caused
by an overheated chimney, was
discovered by two Fourth precinct
patrolmen, who turned in the
first alarm and herded the sleep
ing occupants of blazing Struc-
lures into the wind7Swept street
clad only in their night clothing.
Twenty7Six pieces of apparatus
responded to the second major
blaze which broke out in Nos.
/ and 2 Logan Circle N. w. The
buildings, both three-story brick
affairs, are occupied by a WPA
boys project under the super
vision of H. B. Smith, at No. 2,
and rooming house and several
small apartments, at No. l..
The fire was confined to a
frame cupola which straddles
both buildings above the third
floor.
Fire department officials as
signed a defective flue as the
cause of this blaze which was
marked by dense smoke and con-
siderable damage by water.
Discovered by an unidentified
paSserby, who ran into No. /
and aroused several colored fam
lilies, the blaze defied the efforts
of firemen for more than a
half hour and, famed by high
wind, threatened several other
structures in the vicinity.
None of the boys occupying
No. 2 was in the building when
the fire was discovered shortly
before noon.

The Middle West was promised
relief today from the Sub-zero
wave which suddenly swept out
of Canada, as the Arctic weather
moved south and east to grip
Dixie and the Eastern seaboard
in its icy talonS.
Warned by the untold suffering
the sudden blizzard wreaked on
the Midwest, the East was pre-
pared for the zero temperatures
and driving snow prevailing in
most sections today.
Buffalo, N. Y, was practically
isolated by the worst snowstorm
and blizzard in the city's history.
Railway schedules were aban-
doned and highway traffic was
at a standstill as driving frigld
winds piled snow in drifts as high
as four feet.
Two Freeze to Death
The New York metropolitan
area was in the grip of a cold
wave with the mercury touching
10 above this morning. Two men
froze to death in Brooklyn. the
cold was accompanied by an icy
gale that swept in from the West.
Near Watertown, N. Y, six
year-old girl and her mother met
instant death when run down by
a driver whose vision was obscured
by heavy snowfall.
The cold was felt as far south
as Atlanta, Ca, where the mer-
curry sank to above early today
and was falling.
Twenty-Five deaths were re-
ported due to the frigid blast
which caught the middle-weSt I'M
aware and early today continued
to bring unprecedented suffering.
In Chicago II persons died OF
exposure and in fires while the
mercury dipped to II below zero
at a. M, with the trend evil

despite the hope of relief later
in the day. Suburban Park Ridge

motored Caproni bomber with a
rifle, the government stated.
Hand-to-hand fighting is raging
in many sectors, with repeated
bayonet charges. and aerial bomb
ing by the Italians marks the
battle on other fronts, the state
ment said.
Several italian counter-attackS
have been repulsed, it was said.

In northern Minnesota, the

Skating At Reservoir,
But Ref|eeting Pool
Fails 10 Freeze Over

Skaters were gracefully cutting
the figure eight at the Sixteenth
and Kennedy Streets reservoir to-
day, but the weather man played
a mean trick by preventing skat-
ing at any other place.
The Rejecting Pool at Lincoln
Memorial, usually the first place
to freeze over for the benefit of
skaters, had just border Of ice
along the edge. The wind has been
churning the waters so effectively
that the pool has had no oppor-
tunity to freeze over.
At the reservoir, where skating
is permitted at the south end Of
the north basin, the water was
frozen over yesterday and today
was thick enough for use.
