Expert miners completed the rescue. “It's awfully cold. Where's mother?” She wasn’t told that the broken body of her mother lay in the morgue. Nor that rescuers expected to find her father, Joe Vanall, crushed be- neath the rock, timbers and muck. “No, I won't cry,” Lorraine prom- ised as they lifted her out. “I’m hungry.” They fed her. at the hospital. Two hours later she died. A huge mass of earth and rock confronted rescuers who are working night and day to find the missing vic- tims.

Remembering the glowing voice that made Amelita Galli-Curci's art the wonder of a decade, 3,400 persons turned out to witness a second tri- umph. They burst into wild applause when Mme. Galli-Curci came upon the stage. Then came the test. Her voice came forth, but it was not the voine a@ Chicago audience applauded 20 years ago when she made a sensa- tional American debut.
