Members of the Fire Department responding to alarms of fire last night and this morning found the going anything but There were no serious delays on the part of fire- men reaching the fires, however, and no unusually spectacular conflagra- tions were allowed to get started The most dlsastrous of the several fires was the home of Angus A. Lamond, Blair road, about 8:45 o'clock last night. The fire started in the basement from an overheated furnace. Much headw the arrival of v was gained before men, and the flames were not checked until the upper portion of the dwelling had been reached. The house and contents were badly damaged.

A bill which provides that the max- #mum height of any building In the District is to be limited to 90 feet was introduced in the Senate today by Senator L. Heisler Ball of Dela- ware, chairman of the Senate District committee. The only exception will be in re- gard to church steeples, which will be allowed to reach abov height. The bill makes the following pro- wisions: No building shall be erected in the District which shall be over eight stories in height, or 90 feet; no roof shall exceed in height the width of the street on which it abuts, @iminished by 10 feet, except on a street 60 or 65 feet in width, where 60 feet in height is allowed, and that on streets 60 feet wide or less the building is allowed to equal iIn height the width of the street. MICHAEL PUPIN. SCIENCE BODIES ELECT DR. PUPIN OF COLUMBIA HEAD (Continued from First Page.) tific work yet remains to be done and the convocation continues in full blast. The attendance broke all rec- ords this year by many hundreds, the total registration exceeding 4,200 per- sons, among whom were many women. Dr. A. P. Coleman of the Royal Ontario Museum of Toronto, in a paper before the association today, declared there is no basis for the alarming reports of a year ago that the sun was cooling off and another ice age might be descending upon ivilization from its arctic and ant- arctic caps. Prof. Humphreys of the Weather Bureau substantlated thls view in another paper. slacial perfods of the past can best be accounted for on the assumption of great changes In land levels, rather than conditions on the sun, it was pointed out. Great glaciers would descend the mountains and, with the moderating climatic influence of the sea shut off, and possible volcanic dust reducing the amount of heat re- ceived on this earth from the sun, heavy snows would accumulate dur- ing long Winters, remain through cold Summers and an ice age had set in. Production of sugar from dahlias as a commercial possibility was dis- cussed In o paper prepared for the chemical section by Dr. R. F. Jackson of the Bureau of Standards. Sugar in the levulose form, which is sweeter than other sugar, can be produced by a new crytallizing process from both dahllas and artichokes, he said, but the flower has the greatest possibili- ties commercially, as from 10 to 20 tons can be grown to the acre. They were said to contain from 10 to 14 per cent of levulose. American slang seems just as unin- telligible and vapld to the average Englishman as English slang does to the American, Prof. Fred N. Scott of e University of Michigan observed n a paper before the language sec- tion. While there was virtually no difference in the American and Brit- ish use of English as to terms relat- ing to Intellectual interests, he said, there was an Increasing difference in the more commonplace usage, and in the slang departments they were al- most mutually unintelligible. The more “explosive” slang of the American was attributed by Prof. Scott to the shocks and thrusts of a rervous social life, as compared with what he described as the quieter Eng- iish way: Scientific papers embracing theories on the size of the universs on down to the propelling or “gllding” power of the lowly insect found their way into further arguments yesterday be- fore the association. That insects are the champion aviators in the “glider” class was the contention of Dr. E. P. Felt, State entomologist of New York, who said that with little motive power of their own, many species of Insects are able to take and hold the air for hours or days, covering in their flights dis- tances as great as several hundred miles. “The heat of our own sun has come back to normal, it having quite re- covered from fts chill of two years ago,” Dr. C. C. Abbot of the Smith- sonian Institution reported. “We are emerging” he sald, “from a low period of solar radiation, extending from the beginning of 1922 to the be- ginning of 1924, during which the solar radation scarcely ever reached the normal of many years.” Light Effects Discussed. The physiological effects of light were the subjects of several papers, ranging from a_description of the cure of rickets by eating food ex- posed to ultra-violet light to the effect of the same agency in making hens lay more eggs. Sun porches for hens were described by H. D. Goodale of Willlamstown, Mass., who sad the hens enjoving this luxury re- paid the kindness by laying many more eggs. The Mexican bean beetle, first dis- covered In this country in Alabama in 1920, has now spread Into 12 States and is within a year's march of the great bean producing sections of Michigan and western New York, said eale F. Howard of the Bureau of Entomology. It can be controlled, he added, by spraying with magnesium arsenate. The assoclation went on record to- day 2s approving the proposed reform in the calendar which would provide 13 months of 28 days each, with one extra “New Year day.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, IEDCHLDRENTAEEN TOSEE PETERPAN Star Obtains Busses to Transport Little Guests Through Storm. While difficult transportation fa- cilities prevented wards of three chil- dren’s Institutions from attending the performance of “Peter Pan” at the Columbia Theater this morning, as guests of The Star, three other simi- lar homes were represented in the first audience by 150 high-spirited boys and girls. They were from the St. John’s Orphanage, Twentieth and F streets; Gospel Mission Children's Home, 228 C street, and Washington City Orphan Asylum, 1739 Fourteenth street. The picture is scheduled to end here tomorrow night, and all those who possibly could venture forth Into the snowstorm, which resumed with re- newed energy after a brief halt this morning, were ushered into four large busses and conveyed to the theater. The St. John's Orphanag: delegation of 70 children previously had expressed the desire to walk to the theater, more than eight city blocks, but when the time came to leave they found two palatial cars of the Royal Blue Line, chartered by The Star, walting at the door. Buses Are Chartered The Gospel Misslon Children’s Home had planned to send its 30 children In the bus owned by the institution but its reported antiquity officfals in charge to hesitate. The children of this institution also were S to the theater in another 1 Blue Line car. The Rotary which, since its existence, s done nothing but transport happy children to and from entertainments, again was put into use at the request of The Star, It carrying 42 children from the Washington City Orphan Asylum to the theater. The large cars were waiting at the caused | door when the show was over, and on completion of their trips, th children, with vivid memories of the exploits of Peter Pan in Never, Never Land, settled down for the afternoon after such an adventurous morning. The task of getting this large number. to the theater and back home was effected without exposing any of the children to the inclement weather, although it is known they secretly would rather have been rolling about in the snow. More See Picture Tomorrow. The Baptist Home for Children, at 904 Newton street northeast; the Swartzell Methodist Home, at 201 Rit- tenhouse street, and the German Or- phan Asylum, at the foot of Good Hope Hill, Anacostia, D. C., also were sched- uled to attend today's performance, but their isolation from the theater precluded their coming into the city. Special arrangements have been made to recelve them tomorrow, however. The Children’'s Emergency Home of the Central Union Mission, another of The Stars friends, which has shared in the outings of the past, was pre- vented from accepting the ‘‘Peter 4 Exhilarating Atmosphere- One of the Washington’s New Novel Oafe et Dansant [ATAava Ten Ten Fourteenth Street Nest to Franklin Bquare Hotel Dancing Each Night From 10 To 1. | Boernstein’s Direotion, “PETE” MACIAS MISS HELEN JANE MARR D With Ruth 8t Bon Fevue—Danoing af 11:30 and 13:30 Dinner From 6 To 8 D.
