HAIR IN FLAMES;
DIES FROM BURNS
Girl Uses Gas Heater Instead
of Electric Drier After
Swim.
FIRE ENVELOPS HEAD
Friends Attempt to Rescue Victim In
Vain—Death Due Chiefly to Shock,
Physicians Say—Inhaled
Gas Fumes.
Pittsburgh.—A few minutes after
little Miss Eleanor .Asher scrambled
mA'rlly out of a swimming pool, she
lay dying from shock caused by ter
rible burns.
Her hair caught fire while she was
drying it over a gas heater at the
Abington Y. M. C. A. and her death
occurred In the Abington hospital.
Miss Asher, who was fifteen years of
age. was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Sydney S. Asher. ISSN North Sixtieth
strept. At present they are occupying
their summer home at Noble.
The Y. M. C. A. which is in York
road near Susquehanna road, is given
over to girls and women three nights
of the week. Friday night was girls’
night, and Miss Asher went over for
a swim.
Laughing gayly after her plunge.
Miss Asher went down to the locker
room to dry her hair. There are two
electric hair driers in tliei room, but the
young women have found that the four
*gas heaters installed by Y. M. C. A.
during the season of coal shortage, for
the purpose of taking the chill off of
the room, dry hair more quickly than
do the electric drieirs. Their use, how
ever, has been against the house rules.
Flames Envelop Head.
Miss Asher used the gas heater Fri
day night. She chatted pleasantly
with the girls about her, as she lower-*
ed her head to the heater.
► Suddenly her head was enveloped in
flames. The strands of he.r long brown
hair had touched the blue fire of the
gas.
Miss Asher screamed and rushed
wildly about the room. Her friends
bravely made an effort to put out the
flames, but they tried in vain.
Only Miss Ruddech, physical direc
tor for the women, seemed to have
kept her mind free from hysteria. She
heard the screams of the young women
Her Heed Was Enveloped in Flames.
and the agonizing cry of little Miss
Asher and rushed to the locker room.
Without hesitation she seized a
heavy coat lying on the bench and
threw It over tire girl’s head.
‘‘Turn on the showers!" 'she cried to
the weeping girls.
Yhe shower was turned on and Miss
Ru&dach shoved the suffering child
under the spray. By the time the
flams* were extinguished, Miss Asher
had fainted.
Inhaled Gas Fumes.
Her face had been scarcely touched
by the licking tongues of flame. Her
shoulders and arms were burned and
she had inhaled gas fumes.
She was hurried to the hospital,
where she died late in the night, as a
result of the shock, chiefly, the physi
cians say.
Coroner Neville of Montgomery
county, Investigated the case and pro
nounced the death due to accident.
He exonerated the mstitntion of any
blame.
