The Night
have heard of so many
who can shut out the
cadence of trains and
all the nights noises,
and of SO many others who
are content to cloister
themselves in a small room,
unaffected by anything
at all;
who can sit alone,
altogether alone,
most of the time,
even when a June night
experiences the singular
beauty of emerging
from it's virginity.

FIRE DAMAGES
 HOSPITAL HERE
Thirty-one Patients Rush. ed from Building When
 Flames Discovered

A fire which started in the fur mace room of the St. Anh's hos pital as a result of an oil leak age yesterday afternoon. called the Fire Department out shortly before 1 o'clock and before the fire was extinguished burned up through the rubbage chute and through the roof of the building.
 At the time the fire was dis covered there were 31 patients in the hospital. including two ba- bics. Within ten minutes all pa tients had been removed 10 neighboring houses, nine of them being taken out on stretchers. The opinion was expressed by hospital attendants that none of those removed would suffer as a result, as all were well cared for and physicians had made their regular rounds on schedule.
 When the fircmen reached the scene Of the blaze shortly after inc alarm was turned in, large volumes of smoke wore issuing from the south side hospital base ment windows which were in the fllrnace room. Chemicals were poured into the flames and a. soon as they were exhausted hose lines were used. Ii was some tine before the fire was under control because of it's nature.
 The cause Of the oil leakage is not known Some way or ether inc oil leaked on the floor and. whon il reached sufficient depth. ran into the burner and immedt aiely the whole floor was q mass of flames.
 Flames laapcd up the rnbbase chute which entered into the fur. mace room and ate their way to ths roof
 Bremen were forced to break through the walls and into the chute at each floor in order to extinguish all traces of the fire. More than an hour was spent be- fore the fire was completely out
 1auding the fine work done by the nurses in their prompt e. sponse when the fire was discoy- cred. the Sister Superior declared that they could not have done better. She also expressed her appreciation to all who helped carry patients from the hospital, to the firemen. and to those who have aided in many ways since the fire.
 Last evening all but thirteen patients were returned to the hos piial. most of them being taken to the old unit of the building, which is heated separately This morning all patients had been re turned, and the hospital was well heated as the furnace had been repaired and put into operation by midnight.
 The furnace room was dam aged but little by the fire as il was covered with a special fur mace room protection finish, but inc flames which shot up she clothes chute burned hole ir the roof and burned portion oi he walls.
