TEN CHILDREN AND NUN PERISH IN SCHOOL FIRE Sisters and Priests Brave Flames to Save Lives of 94. fly United Prrst THE PAS, Man.. Feb. 27.—A smoke-blackened expanse of brick wall, shaped like a rude cross, stood ; today among the ashes of the Cross Lake Indian bearding school in the snowlands 150 miles northeast of here as a cenotaph to the Mother Superior and ten Indian children, who died in the fire that destroyed the school early Tuesday. The ragged cross : n the ruins was a monument also to the bravery of the four nuns in a hospital here and that of the four other nuns and four j priests, still at Cross Lake, who risked their lives to save the fortysix girls and forty-eight boys who escaped. Sister Jeane Do Chantel received a | broken spine. Sister Saint Agatlre j suffered shock and contracted prob- | able pneumonia and Sister Marie De i L'Annunciation suffered from ex- j posure. They and Sister Marie Des j Angels were brought to the hospital ; here. j At least thirty children suffered j from frost bite, despite the care j taken after the fire. The nuns, who j were unhurt, aided by Father j Trudea. the principal, and the j priests, took their charges to a barn j nearby, where a stove was set up. j Some children later were taken to | the Hudson Bay Company post and i others to the reserve. Aa soon as the flames were seen In ] the village. Indian runners were j sent out for aid. One brought a | doctor from Norway House and j another reached Mile 137 on the j Hudson's bay line, from where word j of the tragedy was wired to Bishop ; Charlebois. Wednesday he arrived : by airplane at Cross Lake, after tak- ! ing off from here. Because the priests were sleeping on the firat floor, they were unable to reach the girls' dormitory, it was said. Sisters told how three of them had to hold Father Trudea to pre- j vent his rushing into the flames. j The priests formed a bucket line to j a nearby river, but their efforts were ' futile. Loss was estimated at $250,000, including school equipment and furnishings. HOW TO “REDUCE” j REDUCING OIETS The Appetite Will Demand Less Food If Sugar Is Fart of the Diet Too many reducing diets are Jacking in satisfying qualities. According to a nationally known food scientist, every reducing diet ought to contain some sugar for the “wellfilled” feeling it produces. Such a use of sugar in the diet means that one can eat the minimum of essential foods and not go away from the table hungry. As far as sugar being fattening, medical science points out that sugar has no more fattening value than other carbohydrates-—and far less than fats. The stout people of the world are, by no means, always big sugar eaters. It is the amount of j food in general that produces fat—not sugar alone. An example of a good “reducing'* meal that will satisfy the appetite is a generous green salad and a sweet dessert. A consideration of this menu will be of value in planning other meals. The truth of the j statement. “A bit of sweet makes ! the meal complete,” will be appar- j ent very quickly. Sugar as a flavor for vegetables, stewed and fresh fruits, also increases their satisfying qualities and makes the meal enjoyable. There is no need to be unhappy when reducing. Eat less food and enjoy it more. The Sugar Institute. —Advertisement. Are\ou expecting a Baby? Scientific massage gives comfort to the expectant mother

MIRROR HELD UP TO SEX PROBLEM James Thurber and E. B. White Have Turned Out a Comedy Wow in Their New Book, Ms Sex Necessary?’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. AT a time when so many people are trying to write so “intelligently” upon the sex question, now comes James Thurber and E. B. White and give the waiting world the comedy slant upon the whole problem. Their Joint efforts to enlighten both men and women upon the subject is to be found in their book, “Is Sex Necessary?” or “Why You Feel the Way You Do.” This comedv Knockout of the season is published by Ha-per & Brothers and as I write this it is fisted at the head of the best six sellers in non-fiction. In the foreword, the authors assure us that “during the past year

two factors in our civilization have been.greatly over-emphasized. One is aviation, the other is sex,” They tell us that they took anew method in approaching sex. Take this for proof that “the research done by these experts was carefully done—.” At any rate, we gathered about us a host of congenial people of ail types, mostly girls. Gay, somber, petulant, all kinds. We also got a lot of dogs, mostly Scotch terriers, a breed noted for stoicism, bravery and humor.” So you see that the authors tell you at the beginning that their laboratory was life and while they wrote the book they, like all authors, got the “usual pain in the neck.” They tell us in chapter four that "the sexual revolution began with Man's discovery that he was not attractive to Woman, as such. The lion had his mane, the peacock his gorgeous plumage, but Man found himself in a three-button sack suit. His masculine appearance not only failed to excite Woman, but in many cases it only served to bore her. The result was that Man found it necessary to develop attractive personal traits to offset his dull appearance. He learned to say funny things. He learned to smoke, and blow rings.” And so you can easily see that the authors have carefully considered the problem of the sex revolution. While reading the chapter on “Frigidity in Men,” I fell out of my chair laughing at this: “Any discussion of frigidity in men calls for an unusual degree of frankness on the part of the writer, since it entails such factors as the ‘recessive knee,' Fuller’s resort, and the declination of the kiss.” As funny as is the text, the drawings from actual life are equally as funny and in keeping with the fun spirit of the book. I never have ready anything funnier in any book for many moons than “Answers to Hard Questions.” One of the hard questions is “Should a woman live with her husband if they are separated?” The answer is “yes,” with lot of affirmative proof. "Is Sex Necessary?” Is the jolliest book of the year. And you will thank me for telling you to read it at once. a a a FOSTER WRITES A BOOK OF TRAVEL In this day when a writer starts out to write a travel book, it seems that he must be a newspaper man if the book is a success. M. E. Foster of Houston, Tex., has just published “Mefo Wanders and Wonders." He is a newspaperman and the letters in this book have been published in the Houston Press. The thing that I really like about this little book is that the author has recorded what he thought and heard in his jaunt in France and some odd corners of the world. He does ndt bore you with detail but gives one the high lights with the human intimate touch of a man who knows life. And that is the secret of travel '■—knowing how to humanize old castles; strange streets and even world wide personalities. Foster has succeeded in writing a travel book that is easy to read, a a a Indianapolis theaters today offer “City Girl” at the Lyric. Nick Lucas at the Indiana, “Seven Keys to Baldpate” at the Circle, “No, No.

200 NAMED BY FEDERAL JURY Names of Indicted Persons Are Not Divulged. Making its final report today, the federal grand jury returned 103 indictments involving approximately 200 persons, mostly on liquor offenses. A no-bill report contained sixty-six names. George R. Jeffrey, district attorney, withheld the names of all indieted, asserting that on a previous occasion publicity inadvertently was given the names of several persons indicted, but not under arrest or under bond. This made arrests more difficult. His office this afternoon was checking all indictments to prevent a recurrenceof the difficulty. Since the beginning of the eightday session, 141 indictments have been returned in 171 cases investigated. Judge Robert C. Baltzell discharged the jurors this morning with orders to report again April 28 to complete jail cases. TRIAL JUDGE SOUGHT Attorneys Prospects in Laub Case. Trial of Lyle T.
