Explorer, 5, Falls
Two Stories When
Skylight Caves In
London Correspondence
Son Lands ON Head;
Not Seriously Injured.

The spirit Of exploration which filled
the breast of S-year-old John William
Hayes brought him to grief today, when
1t led to the edge Of a skylight in the
home of his grandmother, 1920 Twen-
tieth street. The child fell two stories,
landing on his head. His condition is
thought not to be serious.
John, the son Of Stuart Hayes, White
House correspondent Of the London
Central News, was playing about noon
today with his two small sisters In the
attic of the home Of his grandmother,
Mrs. Ida Hayes.
A light shaft, running from the roof
to the basement of the three-story
house, is covered in the attic with a
skylght and guarded with a 4-foot rail-
ing. John was intrigued with the pos
sibilities it offered. AS his sisters played
quietly on the floor, he climbed The
railing and ventured out on the surface
of the glass.
The entire pane came loose and the
child fell to the second floor. II he
had fallen from the opposite side Of
the shaft nothing would have stopped
him before reaching the concrete floor
Of the basement.
The boys father, shaving on the
third floor, ran downstairs, picked up
the boy and summoned the Emergency
Hospital ambulance. His mother and
grandmother also were in the house.
