THREE FALL FROM HEAT
ONE WAS A VISITING KNIGHT OF
PYTHIAs FROM ARKANSAS.
Mrs. LOreIIa Mccoy Exhausted in Her
Apartments.-Arthur Harris
Also Suffers.


After the agreeable weather Of the last
two weeks the oppressive heat of yesterday
was felt and brought several extra patients
to the City Dispensary. Mrs Lorella Nc
Coy, a woman forty-five years of age, was
the first to need assistance. She was ex-
hausted by the heat in her apartments at
No 471a Kentucky avenue. DIR. Martin at
tended her and found nothing serious. She
was soon able to be about.
AS DR.. Jaeger was walking north on Penn
sylvania street, near University Park, in
the afternoon, the Red Cross badge which
he wore exposed on his coat lapel attracted
the attention of a knight of Pythias, who
asked the doctor to accompany him to the
park, where a friend lay unconscious.
Jaeger went with him and found Joseph f..
Hawkins, of Selma, Ark. Restoratives were
used and the man was soon returned to
consciousness. He did not know the exact
address of his boarding place, but was able
to give directions to the hack driver who
came at his call.
Arthur Harness was the third victim of
the heat to whom they were called. He had
fallen at the corner of South and Pennsyl-
vania streets, and was carried into a neigh
boring business house. When the ambulance
arrived he had recovered, but it was
thought best to transfer him to his home
at No. $40 South New Jersey street.
1--WE don't call this hot day" said the
man who answered the Weather Bureau
telephone last night. "To be sure, the tenn
perature to-day has been above what is
usual for this time of year, but still it was
the humidity that caused the suffering to-
day, and not the intense heat. To-day can
not be ranked as one of the hot days of the
summer" This is the official opinion; the
unofficial opinion, made by people who
mopped the perspiration from their faces as
they gave it, was 1.-The smotheriest hot day
of the season." The Thermometer rose
the afternoon. At noon it was IS, at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon 80 and at Z o'clock
in the evening it dropped back to 50.
