More than 1,000, 000 barrels of oil was doomed early Sunday in a spectacular fire sweeping the Gulf Production (company tank farm at Humble. (Lightning caused the blaze which was spreading over an artificial lake formed from rain Sunday. At 4;30 oclock during a terrific downpour of rain, lightning struck tank No. 21 of the Gulf Pipe Line company transportation subsidiary 'of the Gulf Oil corporation. A column of flame shot skyward 200 feet, followed by a dense cloud of black smoke and a report that shook houses and rattled window panes all over ths Humble townslte. Monday morning, tank No. 22, adjoining tank No. 21, on the north, caught fire and Is burning fiercely The flames, fanned by the wind, now threaten tanks No. 11 and 8, and even the big pump station itself. If the wind holds, nothing can save the Gull tank farm with the further probability that the Sun company tanks on the opposite side of the road from the Gulf tanks will ignite. More than a million barrels of oil are In storage In the Sun company tanks. . Tank No. 21, first fired, has a capacity of 584,000 barrels and had ovet 500,000 barrels of oil stored therein when ignited. Tank No. 22, has a storage capacity of 275,000 barrels and was practically full of oil. Tanks Nos 11 and 8 are smaller, about 150,000 barrels capacity and are nearly full of - Berlin. One of the most practical and at t&e same time, psychological solutions of the problem of the war blind, seems to have been found by the Siemens-Halsk- e Works In Berlin, probably the largest concern" In the world . This firm has Just celebrated Its seventy-fift- h birthday. Seimens City as It is called, Is accepted In every way as the model workingmans settlement It was In conformity with this policy that the employees of the firm who were called to the colors were promised that their Jobs would be awaiting them upon their return. This promise has been Intercepted as not only meaning the and those who sustained only slight injuries should be put back on the payroll, but literally, the lame, the halt and the blind, are back In the workrooms. As the visitor enters the blind ward humming and throbbing with the noise maof scores of electrically-drivechines, his eye Is arrested by the unexpected presence of a herd of shepherd dogs, each of whom has his place under the table of the particular workman to whom he has been assigned as a guide. These animals have received a thor ought course of training and have been warned especially of the dangers of electrical machines. Their Intelligence is nothing short of astounding, and thefrpresenee here bespeaks tKetro and thought that has been expnded upon every phase of this problem. As originally planned, the blind workmen were to be housed in a specially constructed building In Siemens City whereby the problem of transportation would have been easily and efficiently solved. But economic conditions have so far interfered with the realization of this plan and the trusty manlne guides must share with the members of the mens families the task of conducting them to and from their work They are carried gratis pn the electric trams and subways and as soon as they have enetered the factory gates pass over Into the hands of the Institution. Everything possible has been done to insure the bodily safety of these men. The machines are protected by strong iron casings and adequate Insulation by means of pads, eliminates any danger of injuries about the head and face. All the drills and screws are carefully incased by a protective apparatus which can be mounted and dismounted and stampwith ease. The worm-screing presses remain motionless until started by the workman by means of a safety lever. That deep psychological understanding also plays a part in ths treatment of these afflicted men, is demonstrated by the fact that their are women InImmediate stead of men.
