Bennie's Penny
Raises Havoc
With Traffic

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Little
Bernard had a penny. He
handed 1t to a friend. Another
boy grabbed it and threw it into
one of the openings Of a fire hy-
drant. Bernard thrust in his
>arm to recover the, penny. He
couldn't reach 1t; neither could
he remove his arm. %t
That was the beginning.
The finish included: Police re-
serves. iron workers, hook and
ladder truck, a rescue squad of
smoke eaters" acetylene lamps,
a water department emergency
outfit, an ambulance, a mob OF
several thousand people, a mar,
row escape from drowning, hys-
terical women, an arm that was
only slightly injured, a fatally
injured FIRE hydrant and a civic
loss of several hundred dollars.
When BERNARD found he could
not remove his arm he wept.
Men, women and children rushed
to his rescue. They pulled Bef
nard till he yelled for rescue.
Somebody turned on the water.
Panic resulted Little Bernard
was in danger of drowning. Peo-
pie ran wildly. Heroic rescuers
sacrificed their feelings and
their clothes to stand in the
shower and hold buckets over
Bernard's head. -'
When the hydrant was lifted
little Bernard came with 1t. His
arm twisted. slightly. Presto, IL
dropped out of the opening as
easily as il had entered. He was
saved! But the penny was gone.
