CHIEF BAKER
GIVES WARNING
AGAINST FIRES
URGES CAUTION IN MATTER
OF HANDLING MILAN
MABLE MATERIAL ON TREE
FOR CHRISTMAS

There is nothing more cheer
full or so friendly as big fire in
the fireplace or stove at Christ
mas time, but as fireplaces are
not, except in rare instances, used
in Key West, there is not much
danger from them, said Fire
Chief Harry M. Baker, discussing
fire problems today.
The chief said that extreme
care should be taken in unWrap-
ping presents. The quantity of
tissue paper and other inflam-
mable wrapipngs should be at
once put in some safe place away
from all fire, matches and even
from smoking materials.
Regarding the Christmas tree,
the chief said to "set it up secure
ly, so it cannot topple over. Fires
from trees happen every year be-
cause so much inflamrnable ma
terial is used in the dressings of
the trees.
Continuing, Chief Baker said:
Il particularly warn against the
practice of lighted candles on
the trees. Almost every tree is
now decorated with strings of
electric lights, but in some in
stances candles are still used and
are dangerous.
Numerous toys require small
alcohol, gasoline or kerosene
lamps for the purpose of supply
ing power for operating. A care
less or thoughtless move may up
set the lamp, and the result is a
fire, which may cause irreparable
damage to property, and possible
life.
1T is possible to make the cos
tune of Santa Claus fire resist
ing. Take the precaution to
spray the costume with the fol-
lowing mixture: Two ounces of
carbonate of soda, two ounces of
ammonia carbonate, two ounces
of boric acid and five gallons of
water. Allow this to come to a
boil, strain it and spray it on the
costume.
THE National Board of Under
writers has issued a warning
against all fire hazards. Many
merchants will. sell goods so
quickly that waste paper and
boxes may accumulate. There
may be a pile of this under a
counter and carelessly discard
ed match may cause fire.
when crowds are assembled in
public halls for Christmas enter
tainments there is always danger
to human life, if fire breaks out.
1t is essential in these places, and
theatres as well, that all aiSles be
kept clear, that no crowding be
permitted and that places used as
such be equipped with adequate
fire facilities for exits. In gen.
eral the precautions outlined for
homes are doubly important
where crowds of people are pres
ent".

Age-Weary Vets
Bv Scores Plan to
Go ToGettysburg
18th Anniversary Will Be
First Meeting for Men
of North and South

ATLANTA. Ga, June 27. (UP).
John C. Dodgen, 92-year-old Con-
federate veteran, Saturday care
fully folded his best gray uniform
into a valise and made ready to
90 north for friendly remlnls-
cences with the Yankees who de-
feated the troops of Johnny Reos
seven decades ago.
Similar preparations were being
made by scores of stopped and
age-weary Confederate veterans
in states of Dixie from Virginia
south and from Texas east.
These veterans had accepted
the federal governments invita-
ton for an expense paid trip for
a meeting with members of the
Grand Army of the Republic at
the celebration of the 18th ami
versary of the battle of Gettys-
burg, June 29-July 6.
1t will he the first official meet
ing of peace between the armies
which fought this nations War
Between the States.
Officials estimated between
800 and 500 from the south's
discriminating ranks of Confed-
crate soldiers will board trains
the first of next week. Each will
be accompanied by an attendant.
Most were boys in their teens
when they fought for the Stars
and Bars. Some will be going
back to the Gettysburg battle
scene for the first time since they
fought in the bloody day of CON
flict in which $4,000 were kill
ed, wounded or reported miss
ing"
Dodgen had been getting ready
for the trip for weeks. His cane
and furled umbrellas were beside
the valise. He was especially proud
of the red and white pajamas he
had bought for the occasion. He

gia Soldiers home, where he lives,

GIGANTIC TASK
OF REBUILDING
BERLIN BEGUN
Hitler Project Is Centering
Along North-South and
East-West Axis

BERLIN, June 27. (UP)-The
"f.ce lifting" of Berlin, one OF
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's pet. prof.
Gets was advanced another step
with the start of work on ii large
constructions this month.
The broad outlines Of this large
scale plan were announced on the
fifth anniversary. of the National
Socialist rise to power, Jan. ~,
1898. Preparatory work has been
under way for some time and the
Berliner on his way to work has
found his omnibus continually be-
ing rerouted because streets are
being widened or repaved. He has
been awakened in the middle OF
the night by explosions, where
labor battalions were blasting the
foundations from under solldly
built old houses. He has been told
not to mind the dust and neon
venience attendant upon the work
of making Berlin INTELLECTUALLY
worthy of it's position as the capt.
tai of Greater Germany.
The backbone of the gigantic
plan is the construction of the
east-west and north-south axes.
Most of the II undertakings just
announced center around this
project.
Where the north-south axis cuts
the important Potsdamerstrasse, a
square block has been leveled to
form the proposed Round Place,
which will have a diameter of 24O
yards. A blouse of German Tour
ism" will face on this place.
This tourist house, it is said,
will symbolic German hospitality.
It will be a monumental structure,
covering an area of more than
10000 square yards, and have an
auditorium with a capacity of J.
600 persons. The offices of the
more important agencies con-
cerned with tourist traffic will be
gathered here under one roof.
Official comment on the building
says proudly. Germany is the first
countr-- to erect a palace for hos
pitality."
Anticipating the proposed two
great railroad stations to be built
on opposite. ends of the north
south axis, a subway will be dug
under it's whole length. Work be-
gan on the first station June Ia.
Work is also being started on the
construction of new sidings and
freight yards to serve these new

railroad terminals.
The Spree river, which runs
rather circuitously through Ber-
lin, will have one of its most pro-
nounced kinks near the Reichstag
edifice Strengthened to permit the
passage of thousand-ton barges.
To provide for frictionless
movement of traffic at the cross
ing of the axes, a traffic tunnel
will he constructed.
Perhaps the most interesting OF
all the face lifting measures, and
one which has Identification as
its only motive, is the wholesale
Encouragement Of the Victory Col
umn, the statues in the Avenue OF
Victory (Siegesallee) and the Bis
marck and Moltke memorials. The
column and the two memorials
will be transported from their
places in front of the Reichstag
building to the Grosser Stern on
the east-west axis in the middle
of Berlin's great park, the Tier
garten. 81.
The Grosser Stern has been en-
lraged to a diameter Of 22O yards
to receive them. The double row
of white stone statues portraylng
famous conquerors of German
history which lines the Siegesal-
lee will be moved some hundreds
of yards westward and will line
path leading into the Grosser
Stern. This path then will have its
named changed to Siegesallee.
The purpose of this rather COM
plicated scheme is to make out OF
the Grosser Stern, which is moth
ing more than a large traffic cir
Gle. an architectural forum for the
sculptured monuments OF the Sec
ond Reich. An official comment
saws that this work will be under
taken despite the fact that the
value of some of the monuments
is questioned. Many people have
posed the qquestion as to whether
it was worth all that labor to move
such a monstrosity as the 2lO-
foot Victory Column.
Farther along the cast.west axis
to the westward the administra-
ton building of the organization
of the German municipalities will
be erected.
All scheduled work will be COM
pleted in 1914, according to pres
ent plans.

DRIME MINISTER EAMON DE
l. VALERA seeks a united Ire
land these days as final conciu-
sive victory for Irish independence
He seeks a strong government to
stamp out the danger of partition
But apparently Ireland stands gen
orally solidified under the impetus
of its new constitution.
That constitution declares Ire
land to be sovereign, independ-
ent, democratic state" Actually 1t
divorces Ireland entirely from
England, although opportunity is
provided for cooperation with
England in external affairs. But
even more significant is the fact
the constitution is framed for the
whole of Ireland, its islands, and
the territorial seas" SO under 1t
DE Valera hopes for ultimate unity
between the Protestant North and
the Roman Catholic counties.
Allegory of this new Ireland is
the constitution stamp shown
above. Fire is seated with her
right hand resting on harp, SYM
Dol of Gaelic culture. The word
ing on the book means "In the
name of the Most Holy Trinity"
Incorporation of the arms of, the
four provinces, Ulster, Munster,
Leinster and Connacht signifies
that the new constitution is for
all Ireland. Hence the term Irish
Free State is changed to Fire.
