123d street station, twice commended for
conspicuous service, showed his mettle
again yesterday morning when he res
cued Minnie Cehrling, 30, nurse at
Mount Sinai Hospital, from fire at Of
West 10th street. To get Miss Gehr-
ling Mandel had to work his way along
a four inch ledge two stories from the
ground, clinging to cracks In the brick
wall to keep from falling. Enveloped by
smoke and with flames licking his face,
he reached the window from which Miss
Gehrling, surrounded by flames, was
about to hurl herself into the street.
Then. with the help of DR.. Philip Rosen-
blett, who lives next door, he swung her
safely to the next window.

about the Dukes lack or merit, as he
saw 1t. and It appeared public opinion

finished in fifth position and covered
the distance in 16 minutes IL seconds

the men with the limit allowance. but
