HEROIC WORK IN PUEBLO FLOOD

Among the many instances OF heroic
service in rescue work during the
Pueblo flood disasters, that of two
boy scouts stands out conspicuously.
ON hearing that q man and his young
son were trapped in burning build
ing. surrounded by the ever rising
tides of onrushing water, they hastily
manned lifeboat and pulled through
the dangerous current to the burning
building. The owner of the place and
his son were rescued with great risk,
not only because of the floods but be-
cause the burning building was being
shaken by terrific explosions all the
time from the lime stored therein.
Having discovered that three EN-
ployees were also in the burning plant,
the scouts returned second time,
battling desperately with the waters,
and cot the other victims also to
safety. Hardly had they gotten into
The boat when another more violent
explosion occurred and the building
crumbled and fell into the water.

three men walking on the ice on the
river Even as he saw them he per

300 yards and found an old boat.
There were no oars but he snatched

out the boat he set out again in search

even the board to help him, he beat
his way through the Ice downstream
with his fists. BY this arduous process
he finally got to where the other two
men were. He managed with much
difficulty TO get both into the boat
which then began to sink from the
weight and having shipped so much

New York.-Recent increases in the
cost of living as announced by the
United States bureau of labor stat
istics, are facts worth committing to
memory, says Max D. Danish, editor
of Justice, official magazine of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union
"The new rise in the cost of living"
he says, "gives the lie to the asser-
tions of the wage cutters and their
editorial proponents and supporters.
These facts should be made known
as widely as possible and should be-
come the most powerful weapon in the
counter offensive of the workers
against those who are taking advan-
tage of the present economic crisis to
break down their standard of living"
