bIazeDestroys
Lumber Yard
Al Marlboro
Six Firemen Hurt
As IS Companies
Fight Flames
BY q Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO. Md, Feb

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Feb. 6.
"A fire of undetermined origin
which destroyed the w. Eugene
Pyles Lumber Co. yard and hard
ware store last night and brought
out more than Is companies in
Prince Georges, Calvert and Anne
Arundel counties, was still shoulder
early today.
The blaze started near the office
and had gained considerable head
way before it was discovered by a
night watchman. The plant is about
two blocks long and near the Grain
highway, where traffic was heavy
and a jam soon hampered the efforts
of companies summoned to aid in
fighting the flames.
Firemen Injured.
The damage was estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. Firemen
had not been able to reach the COM
pany safe this morning and 1T was
not known whether cash and
securities kept there were destroyed.
Six firemen were injured during
the all-night battle, but none seri-
ously. Assistant Chief Cleveland
Buck of the Marlboro department
received a fractured ankle. and
John Fisher of Seat Pleasant was
taken to Casualty Hospital by the
Bladensburg Rescue Squad with a
deep cash on the head. Louis Ves-
sells and w. j. Aurthy of Forestville,
Frank De Marzzio of Cottage City
and L. Shaw of Hyattsville suffered
minor injuries and were given first
aid treatment on the scene.
Nearby Buildings Saved.
Unable to check the flames in the
lumber yard, the firemen concen-
trated their efforts on saving other
buildings nearby. The exteriors Of
a tobacco warehouse, a canning
factory and two homes only short
distance from the yard were blis-
tered by the heat, but firemen man
aged to keep them from catching
fire.
The blaze started in the front end
of the building near the Office and
quickly spread throughout the
hardware store and the lumber shed
behind it, whipped by a strong
wind.
Before the flames were brought
under control shortly after mid
night, more than $50 firemen had
reached the yard and had laid lines
to a nearby pond and creek. State
and county police responded, but
had difficulty in handling traffic.

Recreation Fund
Is Carried by
Offices Bill
jefferson Memorial
+ Also Included in
Legislation

Funds for the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission to
buy property in both the congested
and outlying sections of the District
for the development of public play
grounds and 100000 for continu-
ing construction of the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial on the fringe
OF the Tidal Basin are carried In
the 1910 independent Offices appro-
priation bill reported to the House
today.
The bill also authorizes the Dis
trict Alley Dwelling Authority to use
an unexpended balance Of $11,959
and anticipated receipts of $4,000
from rents in 1910 to augment an
. anticipated loan of 100000 from
the Federal Treasury to carry on its
slum reclamation program.
Altogether $1,0OO,Ooo is recon-
manded for the Park and Planning
Commission, an increase of SIS 900
over the appropriation for the cur
rent fiscal year. With this fund the
commission proposes:
l. To acquire Fairgrounds and
recreation center in the congested
sections of the city, at an estimated
cost of $45O,OO0.
2. To acquire land for Fairgrounds
and recreation centers in the out
lying sections, at an estimated cost
of $4,000.
3. Acquire a number of stream
valleys to supply the adjoining
neighborhoods with parkways, esti-
mated to cost $120,000. These prof.
ects, 1t was estimated. will save the
District several million dollars that
otherwise would have to be spent
for storm sewers and flood control.
Two of the valley projects will CO.
ordinate with the flood control pro-
gram.
4. Provide additions to existing
parks and parkWays, at an estimated
cost of s262,18 Several of these
proposed additions will be co-ordi-
mated with parkway roads and
recreational activities.
Frederic A. Delano, chairman of
the Park and Planning Commission,
told the Appropriation Committee
during hearings on the bill the COM
mission in the coming fiscal year
desired to advance more rapidly
playground projects designed to
serve congested sections of the city
where tuberculosis and juvenile de-
linquency flourish to high degree
and traffic accidents are numerous.
The principal projects mentioned
by Mr.. Delano include the Colum-
bia Heights recreation center, the
midcity playground and the South
west recreation center adjoining the
proposed Jefferson Memorial Junior
High School, Several of these prof.
Gets, including an addition to the
Hoover playground, he said, have a
close tie-in with slum clearance.
In the outlying sections, the prof.
ects, according to Mr.. Delano, in
clude the Congress Heights and
Barry Farm Fairgrounds.
"Stream valley parks are also an
Important part of the current pro-
gram because, in addition to their
value as local parks, it has been
found that the cost of large storm
sewers and flood damage can be
eliminated by open-valley park
treatment" said Mr.. Delano. I'm
der this category fall such projects
Is the Oxon Run parkway, the
Watts Branch parkway, Peoples
Creek valley and the Bureau Of
Standards valley. The first three
projects will result in total savings
in storm sewer construction in well
over q million dollars"

Selecting Soap


Soap has three uses in the
home: for the skin; for washing
silks, wool and rayons, and for
general laundering, dish washing,
cleaning and scrubbing.
In spite Of the magical powers
which are sometimes invested in
modern soap, the only function of
soap is to remove dirt, grease and
the bacteria which cling to them.
The consumers problem is to know
how to select the soaps which will
do this work most efficiently, with
the least harm to the skin or ia
brio, and then how to choose the
most economical or the most con-
venient forms. IT,:
It is estimated that 80 percent of
the American families personal and
general laundry is washed at home,
yet soap used costs only about $40
a year. Time and labor would be
saved and in many instances, ia
brtcS would be cleaner and wear
longer if consumers knew more
about buying soap and other clean
ing agents. and knew how to use
them correctly. ,I4IaEI

Your Soap Purchases
q A Washington Press Association Department

Upon the hOmemaker rests the
responsibility of spending most of
the family income. She usually
decides what is needed and pro-
ceeds to do the purchasing. II
she has good understanding of
the product she is buying, she will
be able to make wiser choice and
her money will go farther. Since
cheapness is not always economy,
a knowledge Of the product to be
purchased will indicate how much
It IS necessary to spend to obtain
the best value.
There IS the matter Of soaps and
cleansing agents. for instance. Each
housewife has her favorite brand
and feels that it does the work more
efficiently than any other. The
following factors viii show whether
her preference is well founded or
not.

Soap Economy

Points to remember when buying
soap:
All any good soap can do is to
cleanse.
Toilet Soap
Expensive toilet soaps cleanse
no better than cheaper ones. The
inexpensive American-made ones
are as unfriendly to dirt and as
kind to the skin.
2-Hard-milled soaps last longer
because they contain less water.
3-Shaving sticks and cakes are
much like good toilet soaps. SHAY
ing creams are merely soft soaps.
Brushes creams are much like
cosmetic creams.
4-Judge liquid soap shampoos by
the real soap content; cheap large
bottles may contain large proper
ton of water.

Laundry Soap

SOnly neutral soaps should be
used in washing wool, silk and
rayons.
6Soaps for general laundry work
contain builders, in moderate
amount. These are helpful, espec-
tally in hard water; in excessive
amount they replace soap, which
is a better cleanser.
ITO compare values in bars or
packages( compare the amounts
required to make good suds in the
same amount of hot water.
8-Bleaches should be judged, not
by the size of the bottle, but by the.
amount Of chlorine present. -
The above all boils down to study
ing the labels on products and COM
pairing prices before buying.
