WOMAN BURNED AT
 ARCH STREET FIRE
Mrs. Falin Suffers Painful h. jurieS to Hands, Arms and Face

Mrs. Felix Faltin of S91 Arch street was painfully burned about the hands, arms and face, and her hair was bad ly singed, when a fire, starting from spontaneous combustion, in the pantry of her home, broke out about AID o'clock yesterday afternoon. An alarm sent in from Box IT at the corner of Hart and Arch streets, called Dep uty Chief Barnes, the Hook and Lad- der Go. and engine companies Nos. l.. ?, 3, 4, and 5 to the scene.
 When the firemen arrived, flames were seen bursting from window of the second story tenement and lines of hose were laid. It was found that the blaze could be kept under con- trol by the use of chemicals. The damage amounted to about $200 The building is brick three-story af- fair and is owned by John Ravizza, who conducts grocery store on the ground floor.
 Mrs. Faltin was in the setting room of her home when she heard her child screaming in the kitchen. Rush. ing into the room, she saw smoke pouring from under the door of the pantry in one corner of the kitchen. She opened the door and blast of flames rushed out burning her flesh and clothes. She slammed the door shut, seized her child. and screamed for help. People living down stairs, turned in the alarm.
 Chiefs Car Narrowly Misses Ford.
 While enroute to the fire, Deputy Chief Eugene Barnes and Driver Rob- ert Smith in the chiefs car, narrow ly missed hitting Ford truck on Main street south of Church street. | The driver of the truck. John Damon was proceeding up Main street, and although Traffic Officer Fred Wagner. who is stationed at the corner of Church and Main streets, was blowing !

the public school officials. The num- Der of foreign residents thus reached, il is said. is necessarily limited to those who have declared their inten- tion to become citizens since the labor department lack the names and addresses of those who have not filed petitions. It is believed. nevertheless, that free instruction facilities have been made available to many others through measures taken by local Americanization organizations, boy scouts, Young Mems Christian asso- citations chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution and other patriotic and civic societies.
 Cards Aid in Work.
 Cards giving the records of the aliens attending the classes, bureau officials declare, add to the value of the work from public viewpoint in that they give basis for complete community surveys to determine needs in Americanization work.
 The bureau receives almost daily letters from candidates for citizenship and Americanization workers praising the service. and also gets a number of reports on the work of aliens talk ing advantage of the courses. Some of these reports, it is said, show the progress made by candidates over 60 years of age who had resided in this country many years without taking steps to become citizens.

SILENT NIGHTS IN RADIO HELP DISTANCE HEARING
Local Sending Stations Remain Quiet So Fans May Receive Waves
 From Afar.

Chicago, March 30-"Silent nights
 when local radiophone broadcasting stations forego the presentation of programs, inaugurated week or so ago, have resulted in many records of long distance reception, according to compilation of reports made here recently. Monday nights were tenn porarily adopted by the Chicago broadcasters for the experiment in response to many requests from radio fans for silent night" and will be continued, it was said, unless the popular demand wanes.
 A plan whereby silent nights be adopted by broadcasting stations throughout the country has been dis cussed following the inauguration of Chicago's silence. Under this plan stations in certain district would not broadcast on Monday night, an- other district would not send on Tues day night, and so on throughout the week. It was pointed out that in this way the entire country would have a silent night once week.
 Objection to silent nights has been raised by radio fans owning crystal detector sets. which ordinar- fly are capable of receiving telephone signals for distance of only 25 miles. It is estimated that from one-third to one-half of the radio telephone re- ceiving sets in Chicago are crystals. Only receivers using audion bulb de- tectors are certain of long distance re- ception.

Inauguration of silent nights" ha

Inauguration of silent nights has brought prominently to the radio aan's attention the phenomena of fading" encountered only when lis- tening to far away stations. Fad ing," for which radio experts say there is no present remedy, it was explained, caused the received signal to become so faint as to be almost inaudible. A station may be picked up with the voice of music at fair volume. Gradually it begins to di- minish, then slowly returns to it's original intensity, only to recede again. Several theories have been offered in explanation, one of them being that some atmosphric condition absorbs the energy being sent out by the broadcaster.

The policeman rushed towards the car, and Damon came to stop but instead of remaining where he was in the middle of the road, he turned the front wheels to back in towards the street. As he did so, the chiefs car coming with the speed of the wind, barely grazed the trucks wheels and Damon, almost unnerved by the narrow escape, just barely missed getting hit by No. Is chemical truck.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
HELP IN BULGAR REVOLT

SOFIA, Nov. 14.-(By the As

wives and children since the crush
ing of the recent revolution, Pre-
mier. Tsankoff said
ST have ITO doubt {! ere were eX-
cesses during the progress Of the
struggle fdor the restoration of or
der. As soon as rumors of excess
es reached the ears of the govern
ment, however, measures were TAX
en- by the ministerial council to
check abuses and insure strict OBJ
servance of the law. Wherever
Evidence of illegality or cruelty
could be discovered the guilty per-
sens were Immediately put under
judicial process"
As to the rumors that women
and children have been killed in
considerable numbers, it was stated
that a feature of the uprising was
the large proportion of public
school pupils who took part in it,
rifle or revolver in hand. These
have been treated as belligerentS.
The proportion of women who took
an active part in the disturbance
was equally remarkable, but an
amnesty to women and minors is
being generally extended.
