Tony-her Tony; Tony who on
Thursday night had called her into

A Modern Miracle

Doubtless a hundred thou
sand people in this city are
wondering as to Mr.. Guilford's
chances of recovery and the
extent of his injury and to these
/ address these few words;
"Gil" has a splendid chance
to recover though it will be
several months before he will
be swinging his big form down
the streets and the snap will be
lacking to great extent, even
then. No man except he be in
the finest of physical condition
could have lived throughout
that first agonizing day and
not one man in ten thousand
would have lived at all. The
wound itself was what is COM
monty understood as fatal"
yet Guilford drove his car al
most two blocks, got out of the
car unaided and entered, still
unaided, the car which took
him to the hospital. He was
not unconscious at any time

whether we be saint or skeptic,
we cannot sheer at the SINGER

the moment of their own needs,
prayed that this man THEY
knew, might live.
Two men, ones body warp

Nature, the other plainly of

softly into his room the other
day and knelt to kiss his hand,
their eyes swimming with
tears. Why?

days l have heard few, very
few, remarks made about my
wounded buddy, Howard A.
Guilford, that riled my Irish

his heart on his sleeve. The
world saw only the rough bark

deep beneath a rough exterior
and a cynical sheer.

able anger, sooth the fevered
brow of a Migrants babe and

with the fire of battle, | have

tale of suffering.
It never mattered to Howard
Guilford if the child was of an
alien race. He never stopped
to question it's parentage. He
scorned to ask of what nation
