No finer example of heroism has come to the attention of The Mirror in years than that dis- played by Emily Sharpe, who gave her life in a vain, yet valiantly.,i(., to save her three youngest brothers, Arthur, James and Neil. individual From the position of the body it was ? | evident that the 15-year-old girl had thought of nothing other than to get her brothers to safety. It is the opinion of The Mirror that the girl's heroic action brought to the attention of those or- ganizations who recognize such deeds of valor. Beauty parlor must sterilize their | instruments.
