advertising, as to bring the paper
past one of the acutest financial

DRIVER OF FIRE
CAR RISKS OWN
LIFE TO Save Z
oiled Stairways Spread
Flames Thru House

Fire, spreading with amazing ra-
pidity over the oil-soaked stairs of
a crowded tenement at 1884 Second
Ave, early yesterday morning, took
a toll of two lives, and seriously in
jured seven. Workers and their
families, still asleep when the blaze
started, were thrown into a panic
when the quickly spreading flames
attacked their rooms, and before the
fire department could be summoned,
two had already been burned to
death in the death trap.
Leap From Windows.
When the fire engines arrived,
women were shouting frantically
from windows in the burning build
ings, some hanging from the out
side stills as the flames moved to-
ward their fingers. Several had al
ready jumped in terror from fourth
floor windows, and were lying in
huddled heaps on the pavements
near the house.
A full list of the casualties fol-
lows:
Lawrence Henratty, %. dropped
from a 4-story window. Died from
internal injuries at the City Hospi-
tai.
Helen Link, %, fatally burned.
Died in Flower Hospital.
Robert Healey, 30, critically
burned and taken to Harlem Hos
pital; expected to die.
Walter Link, 25. severely burned,
taken to Flower Hospital.
Elizabeth Kelly, so, removed to
Harlem Hospital, badly burned.
Anna Kelly, So, her sister, burned
and overcome by smoke, taken to
Harlem Hospital.
Edward Smith, as, burns.
Julia Lands, IS, burns on face
and hands.
Edna Flack, So, lacerated fingers.
Mrs. Flack, hanging on to a win
dow on the fourth floor, was saved
Just as her hold on the sill was
loosening, by firemen who had ar
rived a moment before.
Heroic Rescue.
The big hero of the fire was
James McArdle, driver of the fire
chiefs car. He entered a fourth
floor window from a ladder after
hearing screams from within. Ty-
ing a wet handkerchief to his head,
he crawled along the floor until he
stumbled against a body. With
great effort he dragged it toward
door, which was licked, but when
he opened by throwing his weight
against it. After carrying the over
come victim to safety, he went to
the third floor window Of the build
ing just next door, and swung Wal
ter Link to safety.
Sawdust and old rags, which the
owners had allowed to clutter up
the ground floor hallway of the
building, is believed to have caused
the fire. After the blaze had been
started, it spread rapidly up the
stairs, which had been oiled the day
before, and which burned like
kindling wood.

Everything was very still. The
slightest sound could easily have been
heard in the stiffness of the night
The fire in the old fireplace was out.
Not even hot coal was glowing.
And yet the Cookies were as warm
as could be as they sat around the
old fireplace.
Are they asleep?" asked 4 big
Cookie.

Cookie. 1--WE just looked at them"
"How do they look?" asked another
little Cookie who had wanted to go
and see, too, but who had been afraid
that a second Cookie might wake
them up.
"Gorgeously," said the first little
Cookie.
Now maybe the three children
asleep, about whom the Cookie was
speaking, could not have been con-
sidered exactly gorgeous, but they
were most attractive, and the Cookie,
with his warm, loving nature was apt
to exaggerate.
The Cookies were whispering their
conversation. Suddenly they heard
the distant sound of bells ringing mer-
rily through the gay, frosty air.

louder whisper. There was a stamp

Santa Claus.

In spite of the fact that there are
said to be at least fifty different ways
of preparing potatoes, many families
know them only as boiled, mashed,
baked, or creamed. Frying potatoes
in deep fat is not nearly so difficult as
many people believe, and lattice pota-
toes, shoe-string potatoes, French frys,
and potato chips, are all different
forms in which potatoes may be cooked
at home in deep, hot fat. This gives
them the delicate brown color and
crisp texture that makes them so well
come whenever served.
The grooyed board, covered with
piece of tin with cutting edge, for
making lattice potatoes, can be bought
almost anywhere kitchen wares are
sold. 1t is not expensive. ShOe-string
potatoes can also be cut on this board,
or with knife. A knife Is generally
used for cutting potatoes into strips
for French frying. A vegetable slicer
