Miraculous Escape OF
Frank Alexander

frank Alexander, son of Mrs. Annie
Alexander, of Woodstock, made posi-
bly, the most marvellous escape of any
one of the many persons who attended
the Knickerbocker Theatre, Of Wash
ington, D. c., when the roof collapsed
from its weight of snow killing more
than one hundred people and injuring
scores.
Mr.. Alexander, who is employed as
book-keeper with Chapin-Sacks Manu-
featuring Company together with two
friends were occupying seats on the
sixth row in the balcony, when the
crash came he was hurled almost into
the orchestra pit with his body entire
ly covered with debris and a section OF
dome of the roof covered his head and
saved him from being crushed, he was
entombed thus for more than two hours
when he was finally released by Com
mander Richard E. Byrd, Jr,, of the
U. S. Navy, son of Hon. r. E. Byrd, Of
Winchester.
Firemen and rescue workers were
warned not to attempt to rescue the
wounded in the part Of the building in
which Mr.. Alexander was pinned down
as sections Of the wall were almost
sure to fall on them and crush the lives
OF all, but Commander Byrd refused to
heed the warning and answered that if
necessary he would die with the in ur-
ed. Shortly after Alexander and his
companions were rescued section OF
the wall fell. With him at the time of
the crash were John Grissinger and
Jack Mcklmmie, the latter was killed
while the former escaped with broken
leg and minor injuries. Alexander sus-
tanned q strained back, bruises and
cuts, his shoes were torn from his feet

Allen Banner, B. s @.
Fireman, Injured

MIR. Allen Banner, of this city, and
a fireman on the B. & o. passenger
train No, II, second division, was the
victim of at least four very serious
wounds in an accident which occurred
near Kensington, Md, last Thursday
afternoon.
According to reports, it seems that
one OF the driving or piston rods on
the locomotive broke, or worked loose
while the train was in motion, and be-
ing swung by the revolving wheels,
punctured the plates on the boiler,
causing an immense and powerful lot
of steam to be let loose into the cab
where Danner was shoveling coal into
the furnace. 1t is not known whether
he was blown from the cab, or jumped
loft to escape the volley of hot steam
| that forced its way into the cab. The
engineer, Mr. j. E. Dawson, stopped
the train as quickly as possible and
| it was some time before the BODY of
Mr.. Banner was located. When found,
he was lying beside the tracks in an
unconscious condition, with a broken
arm, broken leg, broken collar bone
and fractured skull. There were also
other minor injuries, such as burns
and bruises.
The injuries were Of such a very
Iserious nature that he was taken to
Washington, D. c., hospital, where hi:
condition is considered critical.
1t is thought by those who were frs
to reach him, that he was blown from
J the cab, over the tank, and dropped
/ beside the track where he was picket
up, at distance of seven telegraph
poles from where the locomotiv,
Stopped.-The Brunswick Blade Times
Mr.. Banner is a son of Mr.. and Mrs
Hugh Banner formerly of Woodstoc
: and nephew of the late Mrs. G. "
!, Koontz and Mrs. w. S. Cline of Wooe
stock and has many relatives here.

80 SCHOOL CHILDREN

Division Superinte ndent C. V. She;
maker has issued the following lett
to teachers Of the county:
To the Teachers of Shenandoah County
A plan has been worked out with the
Dental Department of The State Board
of Health for placing an itinerant den
fist in this County.
This work will be under the direc
ton Of the Shenandoah Chapter Of
the Red Cross, the County Schoo
Board and the State Board Of Health
1t will be supper ted by these various
bodies and by fees charged f. ire t.
ment. 1t is possible that this work
may begin about February LIST.
The dentist will 60 to the most re.
mote schools first and then work in
toward the towns. Notice will be sent
before hand to each school giving the
approximate date that he will be
at that school. No previous prepare
ton is necessary as he will come into
the school, examine the children, give
| each child statement of the amount
1t will cost to have his teeth treated.
He Will then examine other schools
IN the Immediate community. The
foil wing day he will come back and
start work in the first school that he
examined in that particular group of
schools This will give the child an
opportunity to talk it over with his
parents to find out if they desire to
have his teeth treated and if so, to
bring the necessary cost OF the opera
ton.
The average cost of treatment
throughout the State, as given by the
State Board of Health is $3.50. The
cost of treatment under this plan will
be Scots. This must not be under
stood as reduction in the usual fees
charged by dentists throughout the
County. 1t is no reduction, for the
parent is paying 1-3, the State Board
of Health is paying the 2nd 13 and the
remainder is being paid by the RedI
Cross organization Of this County.
| am informed by Dr.. Ballou theI
State Dentist, that the average child
would need from three to five treat
ments. This would run the cost TO each
child, at the rate of so cents a treat
mont from Il IN IA - IN
wish you would call to the atten-
ton of your people that here is an
opportunity to have their
children treated at very small cost
The average rural patron can readily
see that if he must get his child to a
town for treatment, he would have to
figure on transportation as we'll as on
he cost Of the work.
I earnestly hope every teacher inI
Shenandoah County will give this work
lis hearty cooperation. Any success
hat belongs to the schools in Shenan-
ioah County, in the past has been due,
n large measure, to the fact that the
body OF teachers in this county haveI
given their loyal support to any move
nent that appears to them to advanced
he welfare Of the child or in any wayI
o help the schools in this County,
About the time the work begins in
