In anticipation of this expenditure and to afford an op- portunityjfor exchange of views, "Engineers' Week" is planned at the University 'of -Missouri to give an opportunity, to-exchange-ideas on matters of engineering interest and of public policy. The students in the School of Engineering in the University have for many years celebrated St.

Patrick's Day- because "St. Patrick was an engineer." This year, in view of the facts presented in the foregoing paragraph it. has. been decided to extend" the program beyond the single day participation by engineers of tn state and from eiss- where-.

When'Tred Wlmsott lighted a cigar yesterday afternoon while Pies Bennett, an employe "of the Fisher Auto gasoline Company was pumping gasoline into the tank of his Reo motor car, he started a blaze that automobile, worth $1,000 and destroyed the plate.glass front of the garage a loss of approximately $1,000 and threatened for a time to burn the large building and much of ts-. contents.

Bennett, clothing was set ablaze by the flash from the exploding gasoline, did not have time to shufthe pump valve. He dashed into the garage where Dave Bller, who chanced to be there, jerked off his coat and. wrapped it about Bennett's body, smothering the flames that clothing-and body. Bennett's hands both were severely burned. The fire department -made quick response to the alarm and attempted to extinguish the flames with chemical, to avoid scattering the fire.

The blaze was so hot. and had gained such headway, however, that the chemical was insufficient and a line of high pressure hose was laid. For a time the gutter was full of blazing floating on the running water, furnishing mild thrills to the hundreds of spectaors who were a- The difficulty of fighting the blaze was increased by the fact that the pump is operated by compressed air, which forced the gasoline through the supply hose. When the explosion occurred, Bennett was prevented from closing the valve and about 65 gallons of fluid in the underground tank flowed through the hose into the fire. An oil tank had but -a short time previous been driven to the garage to replensh the tank, but the driver was told to come back later, as all employees were busy and could not attend to having the tank filled.

This circumstance probably prevented a conflagration that might have proven a ia Capital.
