Fire Alarm Creates Panic.
A frightened scream from a Sec
ond grade girl in one Of the rooms
of the public school during the
performance Of the musical pro-
gram Monday night all but proved
disastrous to many children crowd
ed into the small auditorium. No
one seemed to realize just how the
scream was interpreted to be a fire
alarm, but the news spread rapid
|ly and a rush for the stairway re-
suited in many injuries, although
none proved serious or fatal. The
alarm was no more nor less than
a false report, but the effect was
lnstantaneous.an and the hall was soon
cleared. Not until the cause oflthe
alarm had been fully investigated
and proved Of no consequence was
the program able to go on.

What is to happen to ships under

who feed US upon that forget that
