Bernard Connolly IS only twelve
years old, but he must not, dare not
eat chocolate candy for a whole year.
Not a single chocolate cream for his

its luscious sweetness on his tongue,
Not even a plain chocolate bar for
Bernard!
He's been a bad boy. He wouldn't
go to school. He wanted to be a
woolly westerner. He smoked cigar
cite butts and he had a house in the
woods where he went all alone.
The other night up in Castle
Heights, near White Plains, they
found that some one had broken into
the New York Central Railroad Bn-
ployees' Cooperative Store and car
rted or $1S worth of chocolate candy,
cigarettes. crackers, sardines, cakes
with thick icing called "Jumbos" and
lot of other things 10 eat.
Detectives, regular Nick Carriers
found that Bernard hadn't been going

they found him there lying on a mat

Says He Owes His Life to the
Discipline He Learned
in the War.
TO MOVE MEANT DEATH.
SearchlightS Revealed in
Walsh's Face Suffering He
Was Undergoing.

Fireman William NJ. Walsh OF No.
146 Truck, who directed his own
rescue after he was buried undor the
wreckase OF collapsed roof in a Gre
in Brooklyn early to-day, attributes
his being alive to the training he re-
ceived while in the army. He was n
machine gunner in the 77th Division
and was gassed while overseas.
'"rhe discipline pounded into us dur
ing the war prevented me from losing
my head when was caught" Walsh
said at St GATHERINGS Hospital. "I
knew that II moved probably tons OF
debris would fall and kill mo. So /
simply lay still and yelled for help and
then directed my comrades while they
dug me out"
Searchllghts that played on the
scene revealed in walsh's face the
suffering he was undergoing, but he
calmly gave other flremen instruc-
tions as they cautiously removed the
beams and fragments that held him
down After an hours work he was
released and taken to the hospital.
where II was found he was badly
burned on the head and legs, and in
ternally injured.
A group OF firemen OF his company
had gone in just as the roof fell, and
all except Walsh and John Bendy es-
capped. Bendy. stunned, was extrl-
Gated with diniculty. but In a short
time. He was rushed TO the hospital
suffering from fractured skull and
internal injuries.
The fire destroyed the buildings
from No. 159 to No. 16s Meserole
Street Brooklyn. sent 600 occupants
from nearby tenements into the
streets and caused four alarms to be
turned in.
The blaze began a short time before
midnight at Nos. l63-169, a two-story
frame structure occupied by the VIII
liamsburg CoOperage Works and con-
tanning barrels, boxes and much other
inflammable material, It spread
quickly to No. 161 and destroyed
automobiles worth $4,000 in the John
Wallack storage plant.
To the rear is a ax-story tenement.
No. 21O Scholes Street containing
twenty nine families. The occupants
ned in night clothes Opposite the
burning structures a row OF high
tenements was similarly emptied.
While the hundreds scurried
through Meserole Street from the
blaze, trolley wires OF the Bushwick
Avenue line, which runs through
Meserole Street. snapped and fell to
the street with a pyrotechnic display.
endangering firemen and fugitives.
Members OF the Fire Department,
who were at the blaze, said seldom
has Walsh's courage been equalled.
Besides the constant danger OF heavy
timbers falling on him, there were the
smoke and fire near him.
Il don't think I'm hurt much" he
told his comrades once, but you'd
better be careful. There are a lot OF
heavy timbers just above my head
and if they are dislodged I'm done
for"
And so, for an hour. he directed
them as they removed the wreckage
piece by piece. When he was safe and
a physician offered him a drink he
replied:

A MOUNTAIN TOP PICNIC WITH
CHAMPAGNE

McMasters had sent up the books
with the man who carried the lunch
con. Also he had ordered the most
luxurious picnic spread l ever had
shared. It's standard is to be guessed
from the bottles in a bucket of ice
which accompanied it.

Apparently, the richest movie pro-

ancient Roman sporting gentleman.
But most unfortunately, he had Sc

luxuries upon.
Serving iced champagne on Broad

touch it appealed to my sense of
humor.
If Dick and l had been off on

cheese sandwiches and oranges from
our blazer pockets-and called them
a feast!

menu would have been artistic and
elegant; but it was decidedly pre-

of the mountain.
