fire Thursday morning about 2:25
o'clock. At the time of the fire
only Mr. Mahle and his family,
were in the house as Mr. Reynolds
was in El Paso. Mr. Mable's fur-
nishings were covered by insuran-
ce and the house nad furnishings
of Mr. Reynolds were partially cov-
ered by insurance.
It is thought that the blaze orig-
Anated from defective wiring. The

Pittsburgh, Nov. 13 (INS) — The
Washington Monument in the na-
Lion's capital will soon be ilumin-
ated in warm lights of translucent
peauty under a contract awarded
2o a Pittsburgh concern by Heute-
nant-Colonel U. 8. Grant III., di-
rector of public buildings and
parka
The lighting scheme for t h e
huge 555 foot shaft was devined
after extensive experimgents by
lighting engineers in accordance
with the desires of Col. Grant that
the monument should remain .sub-
ordinate to the capital building it-
self. Government officials decided
that the shaft should be illuminat-
ed not as a beacon, but to Increase
its visibiuity without providing a
hazard for aviators.
Each side of the shaft will be il-
luminated by five huge floodlights.
Engineers deny that they were in-
fluenced in this by the fact .that,
in addition to being 555 feet high,
the monument is 55 feet square
at the base.
"One of the first difticuities on
countered by engineers was that
ordinary illumination gave the
shaft an appearance of being
