three clilldren nwny from her nftcr her
clothing cniifiht fire, fenrful lest the
tlnnios wlileh were killing her might
likewise cnuse the death of her dnughter.
The element of heroism In this acci
dent touched n third nngle nlso, for tho
woman's husband tried hnrd to save
ncr life. Today he sits at home with
icrercly burned hands, nnd lie hnd not
the heart to tell hlg three children that
"mother can't come home again." So
thev do not jet know of her death.
trs. lloyd was preparing the eve
ning meal last night. A package of
sugar fell to tho floor. She swept It In
a heap, gathered It on a bit of paper
and walked to the stove, intending to
burn It. She came In contact with the
heated stove, nnd in an instnnt her
clothing was ablaze.
William. Ileglna nnd Dorothy, the
three lloyd children, were in the
kitchen. William and Reginn, too
young to aid nnd terribly frightened,
wreamed. Dorothy, eight yearn old,
rusli'ed toward her mother, Intending to
try to beat out the flames.
The mother, realizing the danger of
the child, shoved her nwny, nnd man
(lgfd to get the kitchen door open. Then,
overcome, she fell. Snort, the pet of
the family, dashing from the house,
grabbed nnd torn nt the woman's
clothes until his own face and feet were
burned nnd the unir was singed from,
his body.
The father. Wlllinm lloyd, who wns
in nn upstairs room watching nt his
mother's bedside, ran down, and he,
too, was burned when he tried to
smother the flames with n oont. Ills
mother, Sirs. Sophie lloyd, formerly
matron nt the Tenth nnd lluttonwood
streets police station, Is seriously ill.
The lloyd home Is directly across the
street from the station house, nnd l'n
trolmnn Hanks, hearing screams and
flimits, ran across the street, and with
blanket smothered the flames.
Husband nnd wife were then taken to
the Ilnhiiemnnn Hospital. Mrs II Boyd
was burned from hend to feet, nnd had
Inhaled the flnmes. She died enrly to
dn. Mr. lloyd, nftcr having his burns
treated, "vns nt the bedside of his wife
vhen death came. Then he went home.
Sport today licks his burns nnd
whines. The children are in the care
of Mrs. Lillliii M. Crnsson, matron
of the station house. Mrs. Sophie lloyd
lias not been told her daughter-in-law
Is dead.

Will You Have a Starving Child of
Europe as Your Invisible Guest at
Your New Year's Dinner
Herbert Hoover Will Distribute the Money
AN APPALLING emergency exists in Eastern and Central Europe.
Hunger, privation, suffering and death still march unchecked.
A minimum of three and one-half million children are face to face with
disease and starvation. Unless aid is rendered at once, a vast, unspeakble
tragedy will follow.
Hundreds of thousands of children in Europe have never tasted milk
in their lives. Mothers unnourished and ill-provided bring into the world
babies doomed before they see the light of day.
Medical aid must be furnished, together with clothing and food, if
there is to be a tomorrow to follow the horror and the desolation of today.
