TRIES TO BURN
SELF TO DEATH
Crazed Woman Rescued as She
Tries to Close Firebox
Door.
Bradford, Pa.—Seeking to kill her
self by roasting to death, Mrs. Jessie
Hiint crawled into a firebox at the
Kendall refinery. Prompt action of
Charles A. Barr, stationary fireman
on duty at the plant, thwarted Mrs.
Hunt’s attempt at self-destruction. She
is in a hospital, suffering from severe
burns.
Mrs. Hunt f^ined admittance to the
boiler room by an ingenious ruse. At
^three o’clock in the morning she
knocked at the door of the room and
told Mr. Barr that she was looking for

a man named Jackson, employed at
the refinery. She said “Jackson’s wife
was seriously 111, and wanted him to
return at once,” Barr went in search
of the naan, and when he returned to
The boiler room the woman was not
in sight.
I>eteeting the odor of something
burning, the fireman examined his
boilers. He noticed a fire-box door
open and hastened to investigate.
Mrs. Hunt was lying on the blazing
^'oals, her head in the open doorway
fjad reaching with one hand to pull
he door closed after her.
-Barr seized the woman and dragged
her from the firebox head-first. Most
of her clothing already was burned
and falling from her body. Barr
dragged the woman out of doors and
rolled her in the snow, extinguishing
the blaze. Then he turned in a call
for an ambulance.
Mrs. Hunt is thirty-eight years old
and has three children. Her husband
died six years ago. She is said to
have been confined in a sanitarium.
SCOUTS INSPECT PLAYGROUNDS.
An interesting phase of city survey
study was the inspection of the vacant
iots of Perth Amboy, N. J., by the boy
scouts to ascertain the sanitary con
dition of playgrounds where small chil
dren were accustomed to gather after
school hours. Three troops of boy
scouts made a tour of vacant lots in
the business and residential districts
3ft find whether children’s games were
carried on near dangerous places, such
as railroad crossings and street car
lines.

Wear, Washing and Your Clothes ;
Why do clothes wear out ? Is day
to day use a principal factor? Has
laundering a weakening or strength
ening effect? How much has the
quality of the manufacturer’s work
to do with wear? What can rea
sonably be expected of a given piece
of fabric ?
In behalf of the housewives whom
we serve, these questions have been
searchingly inquired into.
Tablecloths of real linen, well
woven, can be laundered as many
as 100 to 150 times before showing
wear. This is the average of our
methods of handling linen that has
been finely made and properly cared
for by the housewife.
Flaws often appear in curtains at
the point below the shade, where
they are most exposed to dust-laden
air and the action of the sun’s rays.
To check these corrosive influences
many housewives have their curtains
e •
fallen on a cloth, holes will develop
during the first washing.
A starched collar that has never
been worn—such a collar as is com
monly favored by men—can be con
tinuously washed in laundries like
ours as many as 40 times before it
will begin to fray. But if the collar
is worn between washings, it can be
laundered only 20 times or less. In
a word, the wearing of a collar—the
putting it on and takjng it off—
shortens its life by 50 per cent or
more.
Personal apparel and household
linen are bleached, dyed, woven,
tailored, packed, shipped, stored, un
packed and used before they come to
us. If at any stage there has been
poor workmanship, misuse or abuse,
“it all comes out in the wash.”
But when you have purchased
with judgment, and used your things
with care, our cleansing methods
Curtains wear washed ottener than cleanliness alone will help you prolong their usefulness.
