FAST THINKING
 SAVES LIFE OF
 MAN DURING FALL

CHICAGO, April IA work man, hurtling to the street from a scaffolding rope on the 18th floor of Loop hotel, was snatched from possible death as his fellow work man twirled a rope around his body, breaking his fall.
 The fast-thinking Of Philip Walsh, 53-year-old tuck pointer, was credit cd by police with saving his fellow worker, James Anderson, 29, as he hurtled to the street from the 14th floor of the Fort Dearborn Hotel. Police said it was one chance in a million rescue.
 It was quitting time when An derson swung out on a rope from the scaffolding on the 18th floor, intending to lower himself to a l4th floor window to enter and pick up his tools. Suddenly, he lost a glove and slipped. His body began tc piummet to the street.
 Walsh seized the ropa from which Anderson had fallen, twirled it in a wide circle and jerked. The rope, corkscrewing ill the air, looped around Anderson's body. Anderson slid down the length of the rope with the loose loop around him but he apparently lost his grip at the second story and fell.
 Walsh rode down in an elevator and rushed to the street, where he found Anderson sitting up. At St. Luke's hospital attendants said An derson suffered rope burns.

After ten years study and work on Alaska's wildflowers, Mrs. Syd- ney Laurence, wellknown Alaska banter, and wife of the late land scape artist Sydney Laurence, has her original manuscript. An AL bum of Alaska's Wildflowers" near ing completion and publication.
 Just returned from California where she has spent the last six months, Mrs. Laurence has been checking in every library in Los Angeles" for technical classification 1 of 25 wildflowers she discovered last year on the banks of the Der ing Sea. A trip to the Botanical Gardens in New York City was postponed due to presently con- gested travel conditions in the States. She plans to return to the States next year and resume her search for the names of the Ber- ing Sea flowers, and then turn the look over for publication.
 $50 Wild Floaoers
 Mrs. Laurence has devoted long months of study and painting to her remarkable collection of pie lures and classification of $50 wild flowers peculiar to the Territory. She feels that another year spent on the manuscript will be worth the time and effort expended. The collection represents hun dreds of junkets by boat and plane to areas where flowers bloom dur ing the three months growing sea- son. Classifications of the flowers are written in an artistic pen and ink script and every other page in the book contains large oil paint ing of wildflowers combined in eye appealing composition. The pie lures are painted on black paper and bordered with sky-blue linen cite, the paper used in the book proper The album is bound in royal blue vellum.
 Mrs. Laurence said the book will be extremely expensive to print if the plates are made with the care and quality workmanship she pre- fers. It is possible she said that in order to insure effective treat ment and to cut the cost of pub lication she may do the plates her. self, although to date she has nev- CT worked in this medium.
 Her Secret Process
 Mrs. Laurence has used secret process to give leaves of the wild flowers a particularly shiny, almost tangible appearance. Also out standing in the art work is a spe- cial treatment in oils that gives the "fuzziness'' of certain types of flowers such as Alaska cotton the lock of being actually raised in re- lief from the page.
