OF course, Mrs. Palmer got the
worst Of the shock-she and little

were awakened by the explosion, and

caved in Franklin Roosevelt, Assist

staying while their home is being
"mscrambled."
The EI1erSon house suffered almost
as badly as the Palmer residence, and
there isn't a house in the block which
got off without having most Of its
windows smashed. The Morven

and Mrs. Fremont's residence is a
pretty thorough wreck She and her
mother, Mrs. Anderson. had recently
closed it up and gone to their sum-
