MILLION-DOLLAR DAMAGE CAUSED BY GRAIN BLAZE Warehouse Fire Defies 60 Companies Five Hours; Three Injured. Bv Vnitrit Prt*n CHICAGO. Dec. 31. Smoke curled today from the ruins of a huge warehouse which, with 600,000 bushel of stored grain, melted before a spectacular fire Monday that defied efforts of sixty fire companies for five hours and did more than $1,000,000 damage. An odor like that of burnt toast was noticeable over a large part of the south side and dozens of hose companies still were pouring water over the smoldering ruins. Three warehouse workers, among nine in the seven-story elevator owned by Albert Schwill & Cos., when the flames burst out. were in hospitals, suffering from burns received when they fought the first onrush of the blaze, supposedly started by spontaneous combustion. The 5-11 alarm sounded was the second in the history of the city. Every water hydrant within half a mile was utilized to throw' thousands of gallons of water onto the blazing structure. Heat was so intense, birds flying overhead were paralyzed and fell into the fire, their feathers blazing up long before they fell into the ruins. Hose lines across the Pennsylvania railroad tracks blocked trains for three hours until tunnels for them were dug under the tracks. Automobile and street car movement on nearby streets was at a standstill. Hundreds of motorists sloshed through water to get within 500 feet of the blazing structure, at which point a fire line stopped them. Italian Decoration for Fletcher ROME, Dec. 31.—King Victor Emanuel today bestowed the grand cordon of the Order of Saints Mauritius and Lazarus on Henry P. Fletcher, former United States ambassador to Rome.

By United Pre* NICE, Dec. 31.-With the lightning rapidity that marks the play of the world's most noted plungers at baccarat, the sensational gambling duel in Frank Gould’s palace of chance was resumed Monday night, and with equal rapidity the bank lost 10,000,000 francs—s4oo,ooo in American money. Marcel Kahn, known the length of the Riviera as "The Tiger,’’ because of the flashing eyes with which he follows the game, and Mrs. George P. Wakefield, the most noted feminine figure at Gould’s casino, divided most of the profits.

NIGHT CLUBS TO FROLIC IN GALA NEWYEAR EVE Gothamites Will Kick in Liberally, Welcoming New Year. BY HARRY FERGUSON, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—The average New Yorker may be financially deflated by Christmas and the stock market, but he still is eager to pay S3O so he and the wife can go to one of those places where people wear paper hats, blow tin horns and shout "Happy New Year” to the stranger at the next table. For the first time in six months, night club proprietors can sight the silver lining in a business that grew so bad that even Texas Guinan fled to Chicago in search of customers who would lay down their money to hear her call them "suckers.” Tonight, Broadway is going back to the good old days of Diamond

Face Covered With Irritating Rash. Healed by Cuticura, “My face was covered with a rash which was very irritating. I also had blackheads and some large, red pimples I used to scratch which made them worse, and then the large pimples would come to a head. “1 tried other remedies but they were not the slightest help to me, and I was discouraged. I sent for a free sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and could see a change after using it I purchased more and after using three cakes of Soap and two boxes of Ointment I was healed.” (Signed) Miss Julia Phelps, Second Ave, Marengo, IIL, Feb. 13, 1929.

Indications are that Harlem will be the rallying point for the “break!ast-at-6 - after -an - allnight party” set; the debutantes and the college boys are going to the night clubs in midtown, and most of the actors will attend private parties. While Maurice Campbell, the federal prohibition chief here, maintained an ominous silence today regarding his plans, it was fairly certain that some liquid besides coffee, tea and milk would be consumed at some stage of the evening. The city’s 32.000 speakeasies promised to be doing business as usual; despite the seizure of three rum runners off the New England

coast on Sunday the quality and quantity of liquor was said to be excellent and the price lower than at any time since they were reduced after the last big raid to reassure the imbibing stratum of society. Two hundred extra policemen have been assigned to Times Square
