SMOKE EATERS EAT SMOKE; CHEERING 18 ENTHUSIASTIC

At the stroke of ten last night, the inhabitanis of Lowell House were pleasantly surprised when five of Cambridge's most modern fire engines congregated in front of the Owl Club. After five minutes futile search for the blaze, the good news came that it was really in front of Leverett, so throwing their machines into gear, the smoke-eaters dashed backwards down Holyoke Street, across Mill Street, and thence to Memorial Drive, where they behold a pile of smoldering leaves, apparently not by mischievous urchins some thirty minutes earlier.

Amid wild huzzas from the mob, and to the booming of firecrackers set off by wags within Leverett House, the fire laddies attacked the blaze, battled it furiously for thirty seconds, and soon had it under control.
