CHAPEL RUINED BEYOND REPAIR; FATE IN DOUBT
Chinese Business Section to Require Building
 Anew Throughout
Bv EDWARD BEATTTE


 Shanghai, Jan. 8. (UP)-Two and a half months of bitter block-to- block warfare reduced Chapel from a prosperous Chinese business com munity to hundreds of acres of for- lorn ruins.
 Hardly a house between Soo- chow Creek on the southwest and the open country which begins several miles to the east can be renovated and used again as dwell ing, shop or storehouse, it would seem.
 Each, save handful miraculous ly spared from bombs, bullets and shell fire, must be razed if not al- ready leveled, and built anew.
 Bombs have blown buildings apart, leaving only a corner or 8 fragment of wall standing. Machine gun fire during the bitter street fighting literally ate away the fronts of buildings, pulverized their inside walls and reduced their furnishings to so many piles of rubbish. What the fighting failed to destroy, the fire set by reating Chinese turned into desolation.
 Only Bodies Removed
 Impassive Japanese troops sta- tioned throughout the district have cleared the bodies from the streets, but to attempt even to sweep them clean would have required half of Gen. 1wane Matsui'S Shanghai army.
 The streets remain welter of fallen telephone poles, electric wires, twisted water pipes blasted up from under the surface where Japanese bombs and shell fire tore away the pavement. House fronts which fell in one piece from the force of the explosions obstruct what little traffic cares to use the thoroughfares.
 Roof tiles are everywhere. What survived best are sahdbag redoubts built by the Chinese defenders, and the occasional solid concrete pill- boxes, slotted for machine guns and equipped with electric light and overstuffed chairs, which the Jap anese say the Chinese built long be- fore the war in violation of a de- militarization agreement.
 Damage is said to be three times as great as it was in the 1882 war, from which Chapel had hardly re- covered.

Fireman sDay' Fewer Alarms on Sun day, Greatest Num- Der on Wednes-
 day Danger
 Every Day!

For the worried housewife who's always afraid that the house will catch fire if she goes out here's 8 warning that Wednesday is the best day to stay home. For some mysterious reason, more fires in sist on starting on Wednesday than on any other day.
 The best day for the f1re-wor- ried is Sunday, statistics showing that fires are fewer that day than any other day of the week.
 Fire department figures for 1887 show that 175 alarms came in on Wednesday. Tuesday was high behind with 174. In third place was Saturday, with I'll alarms. The other days of the week are somewhat behind, their totals for alarms being as follows: Thurs day, 157; Monday, 146; Friday, 138; and Sunday, 136.
 Figures for alarms by the month show that November was the most dangerous, with 164 alarms. This was several times as many as were registered in September when the total was only 39. May was the second worst fire month, with 155 alarms, followed in third place by April, with 146.
 But firemen say the statistics won't mean much if the housewife goes out and leaves the electric iron on. No matter what day or month it is, they hint, there'll probably be . fire.

Disappearance of slot machines, both cash-paying and amusement, from Waterbury this week took away one more relic of the days of prohibition and the speakeaSy.
 Police insist that those days won't return, at least as far as the ma chine aspect is concerned.
 In prohibition days no SpeakeaSy was complete without a slot ma- chine, or rather, slot machines. In those days, when a drink might be questionable as to content but nevertheless wasn't swedish and pink looking, they were real slot machines. They weren't at all fancy, and it took a good bit of muscular force to pull the handle after you had put in your nickel, dime or quarter. They weren't made for looks either, yet many speakeasy operator could have hugged those machines when pay-of day came around and he received enough to pay for his rent, and his lights and a few SundrieS.
 The machines of those days had no fancy gadgets, but they drew the coins just the same. It was great for
