Melvin DeGruchy, who moved three weeks ago from Virginia, returned from a visit in Baltimore city to find his home at Joppa and Belair roads a heap of smouldering ruins. Firemen of the Fullerton, Towson and Parkville companies carried out most of the furniture with the aid of neighbors. Efforts of the firemen were concentrated on keeping the fire from spreading to the store building of George Smith and other nearby structures when it was seen the residence was beyond saving. High wind carried sparks making the work difficult, and the water supply was inadequate, according to Capt. Albert Pfeiffer of the Fullerton company.

HEATlNG-PLUtfBltfCr ELECTRIC and POWER ENGINEERS Phone, Gilmor 3830 (By Nancy Hanks) Every person who receives a copy of The Jeffersonian cuts out of the forests of the United States and Canada a block of wood two inches tall, three inches wide and four inches long. With the help of a paper mill a cor dof wood informs 3,600 people of the day's news. To convert that cord and millions more into newsprint, man has created a huge mechanical silkworm which munches its way through piles of spruce and balsam instead of mulberry leaves, digests with chemicals instead of secretions, stores its product in concrete tanks instead of thin-walled sacks and spins its white thread, which is 12% feet wide, with a copper tongue instead of a delicate membrane, says a bulletin of the National Geographic Society. One plant produces in a single day sufficient paper to supply one 24-page paper apiece to about 1,800,-000 subscribers. A single day's output of this mill, unrolled on the countryside, would cover a 1400-acre ranch. Rivers are the maid servants of the mechanical caterpillars that spin paper. They serve in three ways, as power and transportation and as a water supply for pulp. Colossal machinery, capable of grasping the riger's might, looms within the modern "newsprint" mill. From great piles of pulp wood, clear of bark and cut to four-foot lengths, automatic conveyors bring logs to the grinding room. This room's task is simple; it resembles pushing a pencil with its side against a whirling grindstone. But the grindstone of a paper mill looks like the wheel of a terrible juggeranut; it is solid sandstone five feet in diameter and nearly as broad on the face. Such stones are generally hitched in pairs on an axle whise cross section is as big as a large pie plate. Batteries of huge, whirring electric motors drive the great stones. Each stone reduces to pulp 17 cords of wood a day. A full-flowing creek plays over every grinder constantly to carry away and cool the pulp. "Newsprint" cannot be made from round wood alone, for this wood has no longer fibers to hold like muscles when the metropolitan presses tear at the web. To three-fourths ground wood pulp must be added one-fourth "sulphite." Part of the logs received from storage yards go to a machine which chips them into inch-long pieces. These chips are packed into tanks 50 feet tall. In another section of the mill sulphur from Louisiana, converted into sulphur dioxide, is filtered through a tank of limestone rock to get a solu- goes to the "digester" holding the chips. Under pressure of steam the wood cooks for eight hours. When the tank's contents are discharged into the "blow pit" beneath, the binding material of the wood has been dissolved and the long, natural fibers are left. After thorough washing and screening it is fit to join the ground pulp and serve as muscles and tendons in the paper. • The transformation of a broth 99 per cent, water to air-dry "newsprint" in 45 seconds is unique. Proper amounts of ground pulp and sulphite are slushed into a mixing box together with alum and blue color. The "liquid paper" feeder is situated at one end of a hugh mass of machinery 250 feet long. Leaving the feeder tank in a cascade 12% feet wide and half an inch deep, it falls on a belt of copper screening. As the screen moves swiftly along water falls through and is also pulled through by vacuum chambers. tion of sulphur and lime.
