The Village hall, which was direct- ly in the path of the tornado, suffer- ed a heavy loss when the entire roof was ripped from the building and hurled four blocks to Ashland ave- nue and 7th street. The damage is estimated at about $15,000. Churches Hard Hit The roof of the Central hotel build- ing has been temporarily repaired as has that of the Village hall. Among the churches the Episcopal and Lutheran edifices suffered most seriously, the former losing the en- tire upper part of the structure as the roof was smashed into chips.

But that of ordinary Insulation does, at least once before the battery is worn out.
