NURSES SAVE PATIENTS

his corps of nurses worked IKE beaNeEs'

hospital, which Is a private institution
owned by DR.. Sinnott. He heard the cry
OF alarm and ran Immediately from his
office To the wards. One of the nurses
dashed to the telephone and called up
Fire Headquarters but in her excite
ment she failed to mention which OF the
hospitals was on fire. The fire chief
thought It was the Mount Vernon City
Hospital. and turned in that number,
and all the fire companies dashed hur-
riedly to the wrong place. This gave
the fire in the Sayre Hospital good head
way. and by the time the department
arrived DR.. Sinnott and his nurses were
doing their bravest against big odds.
The head of the institution carried out
four women in his arms. Handing the
first one to the people in the crowd out
side. he pulled his coat collar up around
his face. and ran back to get another,
until he had taken all four out. Then
he went back and brought out two
babies. one under each arm.
