HIBBING, May 5. A tragedy occurred yesterday at the Haroald location of the Dale-Uno mine A mother of three children was burn ed to death before the very eyes of her neighbors and nothing could be done to save her.
 The woman was Christian Powell and she was baking bread in an out door oven, when her clothes caught fire and were burned off her back.
 She had raked the burning em- bers out of the out-of-door oven and the high wind which was blowing had famed them into dull red glow, when without moments s warning her clothes caught fire and aided by the gale blazed with such vehemence that before the woman could scream for help she was be- yond human aid.
 The neighbors rushed to her and tried vainly to put out the flames as she rushed bindly from one side of the yard to the other, but before this could be accomplished she was burned terribly and every part of her body was burned
 Dr. T. H. Kiessling, of the loca- tion, was called to the scene of the tragedy. but nothing that medical aid could do could save her life.

ACTRESS PRAISED

Van Allen, a promi- nent Hub preacher. in outlining his theory that there is a vocation in every art, 10 the members of the American Drama society, al the Len OK last night Dr. Van Aliens ad- dress tccmed with praises for the stage and the vocation of the actor
 That it is the duty of every church goer to attend the theal CTS. net only for what the stage can teach, but for the higher grade of theatrical production, was a point that he emphasized.
 T mys If have worn the buskins, " the reverend gentleman admitte ed, with q touch of pride.

 One of the finest women l know from spiritual standpoint is Adcl- inc Genee." said Dr. Van Allen. Il think il s a good thing for children to act professionally, and moreover, if they are to be the fine stage peO- pie that God means them to be. they should begin their professional careers at the age Of 3 or A.
 Appropos Of the prevalent critical attitude toward the private lives of stage people, he said: "l believe di- vorce is far truer of nCn-stage peo- pie. We should ostracise the drunk ard and certain other sinners, but we should open wide our hearts and homes to all good people of whatever vocation"
 After pointing cut that church liturgy was essentially dramatic and the drama of one of the farthest reaching means of doing good, Dr. Van Allen expressed his belief that We should ban very little beyond the demands of common decency and the Seventh Commandment
