=214. Acts of Heroism.=--Acts of heroism involving danger to or loss of
life are always good for features.

|Remaining at her post through the thick of the fire |
|that destroyed the heart of Necedah to-day, |
|Wisconsin's only woman telephone magnate, Miss Hazel|
|Bulgar, proved the heroine of the day. While the |
|flames threatened her building, she took the |
|switchboard herself, called the fire departments of |
|all neighboring cities, and transmitted calls for |
|help. |

=215. Remarkable Escapes.=--Remarkable escapes from burning buildings,
in their appeal to the elemental struggle for life, make valuable
features.

|Using a window blind and a single thread of |
|telephone wire as a means of escape, Carl Hardiman, |
|24, 216 Northcliff avenue, swung himself into space |
|four stories above the level of the street at 8:00 |
|o'clock this morning and crawled hand over hand from|
|the burning wax factory to a telephone pole across |
|the street. |

=216. Humorous, Pathetic, or Daring Incidents.=--Humorous, pathetic, or
daring incidents are worth featuring strongly, particularly when they
involve children, aged persons, or animals.

|Tige, aged 4, was only a collie dog, but he will |
|have the biggest funeral to-morrow ever given a |
|member of the Lilliman family. He dragged two of the|
|children out of the blazing kitchen at 487 |
|Birmingham avenue and was so badly burned trying to |
|save the nine months baby, Dan, that he died this |
|morning. Every hair was burned from his body. |

|Just inside the front entrance, within six inches of|
|God's fresh air and life, the bodies of 21 girls, |
|ranging in age from 6 to 18 years, were found this |
|morning after the fire that destroyed the St. |
|Patrick's Girls' school. |

=217. Cause of Fire.=--The cause of the fire, if unusual or mysterious,
may be featured.

|A set of cotton Santa Claus whiskers and a Christmas|
|candle caused the death Wednesday night of Allen |
|Palmer, 18, 1416 Magnolia Avenue, and the |
|destruction by fire of the Lake Mills Methodist |
|church.
