_THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1921, — Mrs. Ida Jane Dutton Says: “Five years of business experi- ence means a girl is five times better fitted to run her home.” “A business life is the best school of matrimony for a young woman.” FIREMAN MODEST TELLING OF HEROIC DIVE TO SAVE BOY “Too Bad the ‘Kid Died,” Says “Mickey” Driscoll, World War Veteran. “T was in the navy during the war saw fellows fall overboard ani and other fellows go over after them and rescue them, There wasn't anything: much said about that, so why shoul: anything be said about what I did? Thus said Michael Driscoll, other- wise “Mickey” (“That's the only name most people know me by"), fireman on the 4.0 Arlington train of the Staten Island Rapid Transit Rail- road, who dove from the gangway of his engine yesterday afternoon into Rodine's Creek while the train was in motion In an effort to save a boy who had been struck from a tresti> by the cowcatcher. The boy, Willlam Alexander, four- teen of No. 20 Trinity Place, West New Brighton, died in three hours from the effect of the blow he re ceived in the head when the train struck him, but “Mickey” got him out of the ercek alive. “It's too bad the kid died,” "Mickey* said to-day, “But he hadn't much chance after he was hit. I caught him within a minute, but the poor kid’s head was fractured and both of his arms were injured, so he was fa goner from the first rept for that he'd be alive to-day, all right. ‘Too had, isn't it?” Ife point of blushing, and he has been in a state of embarrassment ever since 10 o'clock this morning when ported at the company’s office he 1 it St. George for his wages, as th is pay day.

After getting the boy out of the creek, “Mickey” fired tl Mariners' St. George, more than fourteen miles, and stayed with it to New Brighton, where he reluctantly alighted to go to his home, No. 472 Richmond Ter- race, where he lives with his parents Of the mishap to young Alexander “Mickey” spoke with embarrassed hesitation. ‘The train left St. George at 4.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and when we got to Bodine'’s Creek, near Vort Richmond, I saw the kid on the westbound track, He was crossing the trestle and suddenly crossed over to the eastbound side, directly In ine with the train, be- cause there was another coming to. ward him on the other track. » turned and looked at our and just then his foot slipped en the ties and he went dowa. he bung on w his arms, his and shoulders sticking up.

Dr, Adolf Lorenz in his visit to Newark to-day to treat the crippled at the City Dispensary in that city came across the worst case he said hi ever has seen, due to infantile par- alysis, It was that of Rose Segnes, six, of No. 204 Charlton Street, both of whose arms and legs have been juseless since she was striken as a | baby. Dr, Lorenz advised a course of treatment. Sixty patients were treated by the ; doctor who at one time became ex- hausted and had to stop. A cup of tea revived him and the clinic con- tinued. Dr. Lorenz was the guest of Mayor Alexander Archibald at luncheon. He was met on the Jersey side of the {2d Street ferry and escorted to Newark by Dr, Charles V. Crafter, Health Officer, and Dr. Carl Keppler, an orthopedic surgeon. | There were only thirty-five per- sons waiting for cxamination when the Lorénz clinic opened to-day at the Board of Health headquarters.

Fake Caben an’ an Everything Used by Sailors to Foot Holiday Gulls Ashore. Customs officials announced to-da; that smugglers and bottleggere, in anticipation of the holiday trade, are engaged in flooding New York with bottled liquor, 95 per cent. of which is, 1f not actually poisonous, unfit for use as a beverage. There is a good market for Nquor reaching port on ships from foreign countries if it can be smuggled ashore because the as- sumption is that the smugglers have Picked up real liquor abroad. Recent seizures Indicate that mem- bers of the crews of ships on which lquor has been found had manu- tactured the stuff on board, at sea or in port, and used counterfeit labels and stamps on the bottles. ‘The case of the Palermo, raided by Inspector Hokengen ‘and a squad of searchers a few days ago, was typical, Hidden away on this vessel were |742 bottles of Mquor labeled “Hen- nessy Cognac.” Analysis shows that the liquor is not cognac but a dan- \gerous synthetic combination and |that the labels are forgeries, Thou- sands of labels were found on the ship and there is reason on the part of customs men for belief that on some passenger vessels the printing shop is used for the production of forged labels by members of the cr w, willing to take a chance on getting bogus liquor ashore in New York or elsewhere.
