i FBIIM CATASTROPHE
ATLANTA, <Ga., May 28. —Atlanta
would like for her neighbors to under
c?
stand that she was not nearly so hard
” hit gy the recent fire as a great many
people outside of the city seem to
think. A very large strip of territory
e
was burned to the ground, it is true,
| but in comparison with the city’s total
area it was very small. A considerable
■ portion of the burned area, probably a
third, was a negro section composed of
small, cheap houses. The white see-
1 tion burned was composed almost en
tirely of homes owned by occupants
who carried insurance. Emergency
relief is being splendidly handled by
the local Red Cross. For permanent
rehabilitation of families burned out,
with no insurance, there is an ample
fund.
From this analysis of the general sit
uation it will be seen that the fire was
in no sense a calamity, although it was
“a stiff jolt in the jaw which Atlanta
wasn’t looking for,” as one Rotarian
has expressed it.
Many amusing stories have come out
of the fire, showing the peculiar con
uuct of people under the stress of ex
citement.
| An old lady, for instance, came rush
ing out of an apartment with a well
worn corset under one arm and a silk
American flag under the other. She
never stopped running till-she got to
, Piedmont Park.
I A well-known Atlantian was away
from home when the fire struck his
bouse. Two friends in an automobile
, were passing before the fire reached
him. They stopped, broke open the
door, took out the furniture and hauled
it away, making several trips. ‘‘What
■ in the hell did you do that for?” he ex
, claimed, when they found him and told
: him. “Couldn’t you see I had locked
■ up and left?”
A soldier on picket duty heard a wo-
I man screaming at the top of her voice.
■ Summoning five others, they went to
■ the rescue. “Save my piano!” she
implored them, and they hauled it out
: on the lawn and took it several blocks
[ away. Then the lady examined her
i insurance policy, which she hud in her
. hand, and suddenly began to implore
, them to put the piano ba<?*., “It’s cov
ered, it’s covered,” she explained. “I
I thought it wasn’t till I read this. Won’t
- you gentlemen please put it back?”
■ The weatherbeaten sergeant saluted.
I “That’s a right heavy piano Lady,” he
- said. “If you want it to burn you’ll
- have to set fire to it where it is.”
