Feeding on acres of dry brush, the fire entered the nearby woods, and in less than an hour had covered a front of several miles. A fresh breeze fanned it into a seething inferno, while volun- teer firemen and farmers of the vicinity worked as near the scorching flames as possible to build fire breaks. The fire started in the vicinity of Columbia Pike and the Old Powder Factory road and worked in a north- eastward direction, crossing into Prince Georges County. For a long time, the Old Powder Factory road which leads to the home of Mother Jones was cut off, as the blaze leaped across the thoroughfare. Volunteer fire departments from all parts of Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties answered the call for ald, and most of them took station around homes and other properties near the woodland, wetting down the ground with the water from their booster tanks. Lack of a water supply in the vicinity, prevented the firemen from doing much in stopping the main conflagration. Fire crews confined their attention to building what fire breaks they could, and checked the path of the blaze as much as possible, Thieves in India are stealing and sell- ing more than twice the amount of mica handled legitimately.
