RESCUED BY HUMAN LADDER
Arthur H. cushman Had Narrow Es-
cape from Death

NoFS 'fN'b 1SNN'
The Flushing IN. " Evening Jour
nal of September Is contained the fol
lowing account of the partial destruc-
ton by fire of the home of Arthur IL.
Cushman, former resident of North
Bennington:
asleep in room on the second
floor of his blazing home, at Eleventh
street near Lawrence boulevard, Bay
side, Arthur II. Cushman, commits
sion merchant in optical and photo
graphic goods, in 40 West Thirty
fourth street, Manhattan, narrowly es
capped being burned to death, early
this morning.
"The house was burned out inside.
The loss is more than $4,000. Cush-
man carries insurance to partly COW
er the loss.
"Cushman returned home from bust
ness o'clock Monday night, and be-
gan to prepare the house for the re-
turn Wednesday of his wife and three
children, who have been at Benning,
ton, VI, six weeks. Cushman made
fire in the laundry stove, in the
basement and at 1890 o'clock retir-
ed to bed.
at 1890 o'clock this morning, Mo-
torman John Denton on a Little Neck
car of the North Shore Traction Com
pany. going along Tenth street saw
smoke and flames coming from the
Cushman home, block distant
Denton stopped his car, and blew
continuous blast on the whistle OF
the car. The whistle attracted the at
tention OF Bicycle Patrolman Adolph
Keller, and he raced to an alarm box
at Seventh street and Broadway and
sent in an alarm. Almost simultane-
ously. the Long Island Railroad gate
man at the Bell avenue crossing
heard the whistle, and saw the flames
from the burning Cushman home.
The Waterman sent in an alarm from
alarm box 81 nearby.
"Cushman was aroused from Il
deep sleep in his room on the second
floor over the sitting room, by the in
sistently blown whistle. He found
his room full fsmoke, and opening
his door to tho hall saw that the low
er floor was a mass of flames and tho
staircase ready to collapse. With
great difficulty. he reached a window
on the west side of the house and
called for help.
Tho Bayside Fire Department, UNI
der the command Of Chief Herman
Anderson. had already arrived. and
two of the men formed ladder by
standing one on the others shoulders.
Cushman lowered himself out of the
window, and was assisted to the
ground. He had time to save only
one suit of clothes.
THE flames gathered Roadway ear
ly, and the firemcn had a stiff fight
to prevent spread of the flames. The
first floor was burned entirely and
from this floor nothing was saved.
The damage to the contents of tho
second and third floors was mostly by
water Because of the great damage
by fire to the lower portion of the
house, the firemen believe the fire
was caused by the laundry stove in
the basement.
THE iremen did not cease their
fight until 8 o'clock this morning.
"Cushman spent the remainder of
the night in the home of +. Wester-
welt, on Lawrence boulevard. Cush.
man spoke highly in praise of the
firemen.
"The Cushmans have lived in Bay
side nine years Six years ago he
purchased the house on Eleventh
street.

Economic In GlOUes.

France isn't sending any more
gloves over to the United States, and
even the wisest prophets cannot say
when the glove trade that has been
checked by war will be resumed again.
So economy in gloves is one of many
economies that women will have To
practice until the dove of peace re
turns to war-ridden Europe.
Our grandmOthers thought a lady
was known by her gloves and shoes.
If the price of these articles keeps
advancing a woman wearing them
will look like ready money" as we'll.
Kid gloves are a gamble at best,
as one is rarely ever sure just how
we'll they are going to wear. When
purchasing get those that feel soft and
pliable. with even. smooth seams.
If colored ones are bought turn
inside out to see if the dye has gone
through. If so, there are thin. weak
spots in the glove and it will not wear
well.
The inside of the glove should not
be spotted with dye. but be even in
color and white, or nearly so.
If one finds a line of color along
the inside seam of gloves one may be
sure the gloves have been dyed after
making. This is often done to cover
up defects in skins

Saue The Bottles.

Never throw away large bottles as
they are very handy in canning time.
Last year one woman canned quarts
and quarts Of tomato juice in large
bottles. and she says IL was much
easier to use the bottles than jars, as
cork and a little sealing wax quick
ly closed the opening.
She put large stone jars filled with
ripe tomatoes on the back of the
stove to simmer until tender Then
they were pressed through a sieve
and returned to the stove to boil
down to the consistency of thin cat
sup. One large red pepper TO two
thinly shredded, was added and the
juice bottled. 1t was used later for
soups, sauces, catsup, baked beans
and for cooking with macarOni.
She also uses the large bottles for
grape juice and other fruit juices.
