10-Yeor-OId Terrier
Saves His Friends
AS BIoze Breaks Out

Things weren't the same around
Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity
house today. Terry was gone.
It was Terry, q 10-year-old fox
terrier, whose barking was cred
tied with saving the lives of the
28 fraternity brothers at 1874
New Hampshire avenue NV.
when a three alarm fire broke out
yesterday morning.
Mel Chrisman, "a, who has had
Terry since he was puppy, said
the dogs barking shortly after 7
am. woke him up.
While Mr.. Chrisman's room
mate. Pete Repak. rs. pounded
on doors to wake the sleeping
fraternity brothers-all students
Or graduates of George Washing
ton University-Mr. Chrisman
rushed out barefoot to the fire
box on the corner.
The pajama- clad men clambered
down fire escapes and ladders to
the street but Terry waited in a

Terry Gives Alarm to Fraternity, Dies in Fire

his room but the smoke was too
dense for him to enter.
Firemen found the unconscious
dog on the floor of Mr.. Chrisman's S
room and carried him out. For
half an hour, they tried to re-
vive him with artificial respira-
ton and oxygen, but Terry was
gone.
The fire. it was reported,
wrecked the basement recreation
room and damaged woodwork on
the first floor. Dense smoke
which filled the house and even
seeped into bureau drawers will
make it necessary for the men to
send all their clothes to the clean
ers. Mr.. Chrisman said.
The fraternity said defective
wiring apparently was the cause
Of the fire.
Responding to alarms at 7:12
am. tbs am. and 7:2l am. were
16 engine companies, four truck
companies. a fire rescue squad
and Chief Joseph Mayhem.
In another fire yesterday, Mil
lard Thompson. colored, %, a
roomer in an apartment house at
1923 Eighth street NV, suffered
burns about his head and body
when mattress caught fire in his
basement room. Firemen blamed
the blaze on cigarette. Mr..
Thompson was in serious condi-
tion at Freedmen's Hospital.

The Golden Gate Quartet, an

What amounts to being sermons in

The return of Dixieland to pop

brought some good and bad ex-
amples Of the earlier form Of jazz.
Among the newer connections Is
a pair by Pete Daily's Diadeland
band on Capitol label-Daily Rag
and Big Bass Horn Blues. Rag"
sports a good ragtime piano and
features some interesting tuba
sounds in the background. The
flip is in stop and go rhythm. Both
are instrumentals.
Bobby Smith, known for his
pennings of 'Tippin' In. "Sor-

others, whipped up a couple of
