Frohock, students, were the victims of
an explosion. A large pressure tank
collapsed with loud report. Arick-

fered a broken arm and bad cuts in
the head and one shoulder. Eddie
Peterson, a student standing by, was
badly burned by kerosene which ig-
nited and was scattered. Frohock tore
the clothing from Peterson's body and
undoubtedly saved his life. Frohock
was burned also but not as badly as
the Peterson boy. Just what made the
tank explode no one knows.

Jurist Declares Faith
in Youth of Today

MILWAUKEE, Faith in young men
of today as being educationally MT TO
step into the shoes of their fathers
and assume the reins of modern bus
mess, was expressed by Judge Henry
Grass, Green Bay, who spoke at
dinner of the Wisconsin chapter, Am
erican Institute of Banking, Monday
night in Gimbeps grill.
"This talk about the modern youth
going straight to blazes is a mistake
and should be stopped" said Judge
GRASS. "They said the same thing
about young men of ny day and no
doubt our grandfathers were due for
a. certain amount of criticism from our
great-grandfathers
The keynote of success in any line
of business, especially banking, lies IN
hard work, said Judge GRASS.
