Frisch evidently did not see the fire
Immediately, for she put the car in
the garage. She then saw it for she
ran and called Mr.. Frisch, who was
milking. She next ran to the bunk
house, where Robert was sleeping,
and reused him.
From there she ran into the home
in her effort to rescue Kay. Mr..
Frisch was the next to reach the
house. He ran in the kitchen and
PARKWAY up the stairs before he was
almost overcome by the smoke. He
fell down the stairs and staggered
outside, helped by Robert.
Runs Into Home
Robert then said, "IIl get them
Dad" and ran into the home. About
the same time, Bert Dahl, farm
worker on the place, came from his
house to the fire. Dahl and Francis
Lamphier, the Frischs' nearest
neighbor, secured a ladder and at
tempted to get in an upper story
window.
THE smoke was thick" Dahl
said. when we broke the window,
the fire flared up. I stuck my head
inside and Eel that short time
made me dizzy"
Dahl's wife, meanwhile was max
ing an attempt to enter the lower
floor. She crawled across the kit
chen floor before she, too, was driv-
en- back by the smoke.
Neighbors quickly gathered but
were powerleSS to help. An alarm
was relayed to Glasgow from the
Cotton residence and Sheriff E. L.
Mcpherson and Coroner j. A. Hol-
land also were called.
The bodies were recovered from
the ashes of the home after the fire
subsidized.
Starts in Upper Story
Witnesses agreed that the fire
must have started in the upper
floor and quickly. Lamphier, who
usually watched the Frisch home for
the morning trips to the road SO
that the Lamphier children could
get a ride, said he noticed nothing
unusual when Mrs. Frisch left the
yard.
A.few minutes later, smoke was
pouring from the upper story.
1t was believed that all the fire
died of ~Suffocation from the
smoke and heat, probably in a few
minutes.
While several kerosene lamps were

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.

st. Louis: We're puzzled over the
"ware-wear" OF silverware and un-
derwear. Please explain.-B. M.
Answer-The ware" OF silver
ware, hardware, warehouse, etc.,
designates merchandise, from the
Anglo-Saxon waru. "valuables." Un-
derwear is so called because one
wears 1t under the outer clothes.
The sufflx wear is also used in foot
wear, headwear, neckwear, sports
wear, etc.
Kansas City: In pronouncing
"1ance" and "hancee" I have been
of the opinion that the first should
be "fee-AHNS" and the second
fee -ahn-sAY." Right? - Mrs. r.
j. l..
Answer-Sorry, not quite. "Fi-
ance" is masculine; "fiancee" is FEM
inine. The correct English pronunci-
alton of both Is: fee-ahn-SAY.
s. Pasadena: Does best usage
still require four syllable pronun-
citation of "congeries"?-E. w.
Answer-Yes. It's kon-JEER-i-eez.
1t means "a collection; heap; ag-
gregation."
Hydro: Please explain the origin
