blazed through the frame house, de-
stroyed all the Tragesers' possessions
and razed the building.
Most of the children, all OF whom are

fire came as they stepped of the
school bus. Where their home had
been they saw blazing pile in which
burned not only every little trinket
and toy OF their own. but all of their
clothes except what they wore.
William F. Carlin, Silver Spring
real estate broker, started Immediately
to collect donations to assist the family
and within 10 minutes had pledges for
$225.
The movement gained headway and
Mr.. Carlin became chairman of the
committee formed to lend assistance
to the family. Meanwhile, Mr.. Ira
geser had taken his family to live
temporarily at the Silver Spring home
of his mother, Mrs. Benjamin F.
Adams.
The committee, whose other men,
bers are the Rev. DR.. Ralph D. Smith
Of the Silver Spring Methodist Epis-
copal Church, and Fred L. Lutes, treas
urer Of the Silver Spring National
Bank, continued to receive donations
In one instance Mr.. Carlin reported
having received an offer of donation
within 3 minutes after news of the
fire and an appeal for help had been
broadcast by Howard P. Bailey,

It's merry Christmas" in the U
s. Army, too.
Each year the holiday season is
marked by gayety, good will, good
times. and real fraternity of sentl-
ment such as one invariably finds in
a group of men bound together by
common ideals and traditions.
Men are urged to take advantage
of the respite from the usual garrl-
son routine by visiting their homes
and loved ones, if they live within
travelling distance of "the old home
town." At practically all posts and
stations there is a holiday period, ex-
tending from shortly before Christmas
to lust after New Years, when all
duties other than the necessary guard
and police are suspended. This af-
fords the men the opportunity to visit
their homes, a pre-holiday partial pay
ment being made to all men who de-
sire ready cash before Christmas.
For those men whose homes are
too far distant, the holiday period in
barracks is made as pleasant as pos
sible Most units having their own
messing facilities make it practice
to have guests, civilian friends of the
men, though in recent years there
