Y RESCUED FROM
 BURNING HOSPITAL Four Floors in Chicago Insdtu-
 tion Swept by Bad Blaze x.RAY FILMS ARE MENACE
Police and Fire Officials Plan Probe of Careless Handling Of Explosive Negatives - Spectacular Removal of Patients Made.

Chicago, June 1 R(-The Chicago General hospital was swept by fire at 1 a. m. today and although l7 patients, several doctors and nurses were in the buildings, as the flames and smoke mounted to the fourth floor, all escaped unhurt. Some were carried down ladders by fire men.
 Fire department ambulances re- moved the patients to other hos pitfalls.
 The fire. which did $25,000 dam age, started in the laundry room and was confined to one side of the tuilding, which is divided by fire wall.
 Chief Fire Marshal Michael J. Corrigan, having in mind the recent Cleveland hospital fire. gave his first thought to keeping the flames from X-ray films which caused such heavy casualties at Cleveland. investigation tIammeO Corrigan said he would start an immediate investigation into the ap- pa arently careless manner in which the N-ray films were left in a jumbled heap in room dangerously close to the flames.
 If the flames had reached the film, we would have had disaster similar to that in Cleveland he said.
 Dr. Edward c. Meyer, house physi- elan, said a man had come to the hospital Saturday with an offer to buy the old N-ray films.
 "The films were taken from the vaults in various parts of the hos- pitaI and placed in the room where they were found pending the mans return" Dr. Meyer said.
 Many thousands of persons watch cd the fire and the rescue of the patients.
 Patients Taken Out Twelve of the 17 patients had to be carried from the smoke-filled rooms. Eight persons, in another section of the hospital not touched l ey fire, were moved from their beds to the elevator doors, in case an emergency evacuation were neces- sary.
 Mrs. Anna George. a patient on the second, floor, said her room be- gan filling with smoke and that she rang the bell near her bed.
 Ut seemed ges before anyone came" she said. Finally a fireman made his way through the smoke and carried me down a fire escape" :" Other bed patients related simi- lar experience. Mrs Lucy Lamp brocht, mother of 10-cay-old baby was removed from the third floor. Once outside she began screaming for her baby. Bremen reentered the hospital, fighting their way i through the smoke to the nursery where they found the infant sound asleep. though the room was full of smoke and there was changing of fire equipment and the murmur of thousands of voices outside.

 The evacuation Of Barre was car- ried out in perfect order. The scene was extremely picturesque as the inhabitants Of the threatened town carried off all their belongings they could load into carts. Vehicles Q: all kinds were pressed into service. mostly the brilliant two-wheeled carts for which southern Italy is famous.

 CAUSES TAX MIXUP
Present Store Owners Refuse to
 Pay Predecessors Bills
ASSESSMENTS MADE OCT. 1
up Last Fall Brings Protest From proprictOrs Who Are Receiving Tux Statements.

An increasing number of protests against payment of taxes on small stores. grounded on the claim that the person billed is not the owner Of the business, is attributed by the as- sesaing department to frequent changes in ownership resulting from liquor law prosecutions.
 In many cases, the ownership of stores has changed several times since the annual check-up. which takes place each October. The per- son found by the assessors to be the owner in October. has. in many cases, retired from business follow ing his arrest for violation of the lie. LOT laws or has deemed it wise to avoid further trifling with the laws and has sold to another. The books in the office of Assessor Thomas Linder show only the owner as of October. I, and the tax bills are made up from these records.
 More than 15.000 tax bills went into the mails yesterday. Today, Assessor Linder received numerous protests from owners of small stores. restaurants and smoke shops, where trAnefars of the business had been made since last October. While he regards some as legitimate business transfers. many are considered to be in the group Of ''speakeasies" where police activity has made changes ad- visable.

and the fire-crackers, and gamb-
ling, all, in some way or other,
symbolic or point to the sound
"Kao-ten" = excelsior! in the
sense of rising high in wealth and
station-especially in wealth. It's
indeed wonderfully interesting
time, and is INDUCED in even by
beggars-for they receive a har-
vest of aims.
The Nationalist government or,
dered that Chinese New Year
should not be observed this year.
1t might as well have tried to turn
back the greatest tidal wave OF
history! National commands stop
the observance of Chinese New
Years customsf Only the con-
version of these people to Christ
will stop this idol worship and
lead to the worship of the true
God. And to us the glad part OF
it is that each year more leave
the false and adopt the true as the

where he spies on the doings OF
the family for year. On the

"a big feast, Sweet syrup is put
ION his mouth and he is put in a
