Tries To Extinguish Blaze 'i Although he seized a fire extin- ; guisher and played it against the ceiling when the smoke and steam seemed centered, the first explosion knocked him to the floor almost, im ■ mediately. A.s he crawled from the i. room seeking safety, the second ex- , plosion flung him through a window, i- City Fire Wardens P. F. Ferrie and 1 M. F. Gross, said they believed the . heat from the unprotected pipe and '- escaping steam had caused spontaneous combustion among rolls of X-ray ; film stored in the basement room, e Nitrogen gas given off from the film t combined with the oxygen In the air - to form nitrogen dioxide gas—sure t death for those who breathed it • deeply. But this gas would never have t escaped to the floors above except for the error of the steam fitter who . years ago misplaced another steam pipe so it protruded and prevented the automatic closing of a fire door in the film room. The door was designed to close , when a thermometer registered great heat. If it had closed Wednesday. i the gas would have been forced through a ventilator without harm to anyone except Boggs, who would have been trapped and killed by the I explosion. Coroner Pearse believes. City, county, state and federal auth- ; orities expected to go exhaustively : into every phase of the tragedy, with i a view of fixing criminal responsibili ity, if any. and preventing similar dls- ; asters in the future. . _o C. IL S, SENIORS PRESENT PLAY (CO.VTINVRD FH(»M PARK <WVK» 1 ing along the highway, is chased by “hard-boiled McCafferty," a policeman. portrayed by George Harris. He evades the cop, but is captured by ‘ deputies of the sanitarium, who mistake him for a fleeing patient, for - whom they are searching. He is brought to the sanitarium, the keep- ~ ers refusing to listen to his explant ation as to who he is. Here he finds t his fa’her. He explains to his father. - and the father, who is more or less I disturbed by his son's wildness, de cities that perhaps six months in the institution might be a good thing for his son. When confronted by Mr.| Higgins, the superintendent, (Arthur Miller) and Miss Lavelle, the head j nurse, (Frances Schultz), the father r denies that he has even seen Jack before and states that he is not his son. Therefore, it becomes an established fact that he is "cuckoo.” In the meantime Lois Meredith, daughter of wealth, portrayed by Patricia Teeple, comes to the sani- ■ tarium with three friend... Beatrice. - Marjorie and Janet, (Agnes Baker, ■ Margaret Eitlr.g and Elsie Brunne- ■ graf) to put on a play for the enter' tainment of the inmates. Sli® is very charming and a much loved personage about the sanitarium. Jack gets a glimpse of and realizing that she is the girl whom he has chased all over Europe, decides to play imbecile, to all but her. so lie can remain there and he near her. Therefore, when his father decides that he has been too harsh and acknowledges that Jack is his son and is sane, Jack denies having ever seen his father, and P plucking daisy petals and muttering

a love jingle, scares his father into believing that he has lost his mind over la>is Meredith. Evelyn Winslow, a wealthy patient, played by Mary Virginia Hyland, is a popular New York society girl, who has lost her mind because she believe* her fiance. Edward Gordon, is dead. In reality, he has merely met with an accident, but due to the loss of an arm. has become quite poor and realizes that he would have to return to Evelyn without money. His pride Is too great for this and he is un aware that his failure to do so. has affected her mentally, resulting in her confinement in a sanitarium. Jack learns that Evelyn is the sweetheart of his old frlwid, Edward Gordon. (Robert Rumschiag), and knows where Edward 1s located, sends for him. When he arrives, Evelyn recognises him and her mind is restored. Reggie Mortimer (Fred Mylott) is also an admirer of I»is Meredith, and it is only when Lois is kidnapped in the last act of the play, and Jack pursues her with his airplane and saves her. that she realizes that she is in love with Jack instead of Reggie. Two blackface rides, that of a Pluribus. the general utility nt the Sanitarium, and Pendie. Miss Meredith's colored maid, were portrayed by Gerald Gage and Dolores Omlor. respectively, and were as well acted and received as any other characters in thep lay. Their lines were clever and time and again, the audience gave vent to hearty applause as they cleverly interpret® dsome particular scene. The entire cast did themselves honor throughout the evening, and merited a much larger audience to play to. The play will be repeated again Sunday evening .and tickets are On sale at the Green Kettle, Omlors Confectionery, Wertzberger confectionery and West End restuarant, or may be purchased from some members of the senior class. Between the first and second acts of the play, Margaret Vian and Flotilda Harries played a piano duet entitled "Spring Breezes" which was greatly enjoyed. ——i* o FOR SALE—Dunfield and Manchu soy beans recleaned, germination 95 per cent.
