through treacherous ice in an attempt to
rescue a colored boy. and Mrs. Martha
Generals, colored woman, risking her
life at Wilkesbarre. Pa, to save white
lad. In the latter case the lad had taken
hold of live electric wire carrying 200
volts, and Mrs. Generals, seeing him jerk
convulsively while unable to let go, seiz-
ed him by the neck and received a shock
which paralyz ed her arm. Next she ap-
pealed to bystanders for aid, but as none
responded she grasped the lad again and
succeeded in pulling him free from the
wire and in saving his life. her hand
being disabled for a week afterward.
The commission has put her on a life
pension of $40 a month in addition to con-
ferring upon her a hero medal
The national government has been con-
ferring hero medals upon civilians since
the centennial year 1876, but until a few
years ago they were given only for life-
saving upon federal waters. Inasmuch
as the possible area of such acts has thus
been limited, and as a greater proportion
of the heroes thus honored have been
members Of life-saving crews. policemen
or other men specially trained for res
cue work. 1t is q significant fact that four
teen women and girls have been given
this coveted medal.
