Saturday morning in Chicago at St
Lakes hospital, where Miss Eunice

Senior Nurses home, which is separ-
ated from the other eight or nine
buildings connected with the hospital
and none of the 400 patients knew any
thing of ii. Both Miss Smith and Mrs
Hoffman, are in the Smith Memorial

from the scene of the blaze. The in

and only little damage to stairway
resulted. The fire was due either to
an oyer-heated steam pipe or faulty
