Emma Schneider Severely : Burned in Gas Explosion Miss Emma Schneider, age 17, of 2625 West Nineteenth street, Chicago, was taken to the Evanston hospital Wednesday suffering from severe burns on the back, chest and arms. The accident occurred Wednesday evening about 10 o'clock at Smith's bakery, 819 Oak street, where Miss Schneider is employed.

None of the fires resulted in serious damage, most of them being rubbish fires. Both of the trucks are now equipped with the new 40 by 8 inch pneumatic tires--huge which Chief Houren and his men declare make their "fire wagons" as easy riding as a limousine. The installation of the new tires has been made so that all tires on both trucks are interchange- able, thus reducing very materially the expense necessitated by the former equipment, of carrying a number of extra tires. One or two extra tires is now all it will be necessary to have on hand, Chief Houren says. cushions, Village Issues Building Permits for Three Houses Building permits were issued in Win- netka during the past week to George Wagener for an eight room residence of frame and brick veneer, with at- tached garage, at 176 Fuller lane, cost- ing $18,000.

MEYER BANK BUILDING TELEPHONE 930 WINNETKA j-- Greeley Pupils Stage Fair as Benefit Program An entertainment of unusual charac- ter will be presented on Thursday, March 24, at 3:15 o'clock, by the chil- dren of the sixth grade of the Greeley school for the purpose of raising funds to cover the cost of new equipment for the manual training department. The program is presented in connection with the social science work in the school and will take the form of a medieval fair in London. The scene is to be a London street where English, Venetian, Norwegian and German venders cry their wares and traveling minstrels sing quaint songs and relate the gossip of the day; where performing bears, dancers and jugglers vie for favor with the gathered crowds. Four booths are to be pre- sented and at them one may purchase what one may desire, while the ven- ders advertise, in no uncertain terms, the "extr'ordinary" quality of their products. For some time the children have been working on things that are to be sold. English pottery, molded from clay and hand painted, hand dipped candles, Banbury tarts, maple sugar and can- dies: German rye bread and cheese, root beer and ginger ale, Venetian bracelets, necklaces, rings and tropical fruits, and even Norwegian fish are among the articles to be offered for sale. From time to time the town crier Z| will announce a feature of the days program, which will include besides the minstrel, bears and jugglers, companies of rustic dancers and a "Punch and Judy" show. Parents and friends are urged to attend the fair in order to see for themselves the work that has been accomplished. Mrs. Melville C. Chatten, 1025 Dins- more Rd., Winnetka, regent of the Kaskaskie chapter of Chicago D.A.R,, with three members of her chapter, will be leaving on Tuesday, March 22, to attend the state conference at Rock Island.
