PROVIDENCE, R. L, Feb. "a
Heroism of nuns. nurses, firemen
and policemen VS. lauded today By
patients of the fire-wrecked st. Jo-
seph's hospital, while the patients,
in turn, we're praised for exception
al GOODNESS.
A sprained ankle, sustained by
fireman, was the only casualty OF a
fire which virtually destroyed the
hospital Sunday. The 1913 patients,
including q dozen babies, we're re-
moved safely.
The fire was discovered by Miss
Julia Harding, a nurse, as she was
passing through a fifth floor cor
ridor. She notified the switchboard
operator, Miss Evelyn WEIGH that
there was a fire in the waste chute
Miss WEIGH turned in an alarm
while Miss Harding ran down to the
ground floor chapel where Father
Greeley, hospital chaplain, was
celebrating mass.
"There's a fire on the fifth floor,
she shouted as she broke into. the
chapel. Nuns and nurses calmly
filed out of the chapel while the
chaplain continued the mass.
Within half hour, four alarms
had been sounded; eighteen fire
companies were on the scene and
1875 policemen arrived to aid IN re-
moving the patients.
First reScuers removed twelve
babies from the fifth floor matern-
ity ward to the floor below While
interneS rushed to a room on the
fourth floor directly beneath chill
dren's wards and removed thirty
tanks of nitrous oxide, which &C
cording to physicians, contained
enough explosive to blow up the
city of Providence.
AS the fire got out OF control, the
patients were transferred from the
fourth floor to the third, then to the
| second and finally to the first
When 1t became evident that not
even the first floor could escape the
! flames, all available ambulancef
we're marshaIled and the patients
transferred to other hospitals.
Throughout this ordeal, none Of
the patients. not even the seriously
i'll, became panicky.
Among the rescued iatients was q
woman who had given birth to 8
baby only twenty minutes before
the fire was discovered.

County Books, Five Years in Attic

of Courthouse, Go to Memorial.
Marion county's century old
library, consigned for more than
five years to the "attic" of the
courthouse, where the 1000 volumes
have laid unused, will be given a
place of honor in the Indiana War
Memorial, according to a resolution
recently adopted by county COM
missionerS.
Created less than 100 years ago
by the legislature, the collection
was in public use until space prob
lens at the courthouse led commits
sioners to box the dusty volumes for
storage, and later to deposit them
in a vacant room at the county in
Urinary.
There they will be salvaged, some
to be given to the Indiana HiStori-
cal Society, and others to the me
mortal, according to the resolution
adopted on recommendation of
James L. Kingsbury, trustee of the
county library association.

POISON SLAYER
TO FACE TRIAL
IN new YORK
Knife and Gun Found on
Young Killer by
Detectives.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-District
Attorney Grain was expected today
to charge James Baker, Is, who has
confessed to the numbering OF ten
men, specifically with the murder OF
Henry S. Cav, night Waterman OF
the Guggenheirn laboratory on Dec.
8, 1923.
George Fitzpatrick and Arthur
NJ. Horey, detectives who brought
Baker from Detroit, probably were
the most relieved of the trio when
they arrived Sunday. Shortly after
leaving Detroit they found a knife
and gun concealed on Baker after
he had been given into their Gus
tody.
He laughed at their questioning
and assured them he had mean to
kill them because he knew he was
going to burn" and that two more
crimes probably would not add much
to his sentence.
If Baker is "braggart, an ego
fist and a liar as he has been
charged by his relatives and given
some credence by Detroit officials,
he certainly did not show it when
he arrived here. To reporters who
boarded the train at Newark, N. j..
Baker seemed stoical.
He seemed willing to answer all
questions and repeated a confession
made in Detroit. Alienists were ex-
pected to examine him in regard to
his sanity, following some belief adj
vance by Detroit officials that he is
insane. Sunday he laughed at this
belief, saying that those who ques-
toned him probably were more
crazy than he.

Fads and fancies come and go. We
must be reasonable. You can't afford to

given you by Nature to nourish your body.
You must really enjoy your meals and
assimilate them to restore the waste of the

and keen mind to carry on if you do not
enjoy your food. 1t just can't be done.
Friends, happiness and business success
