the Citadel Wing, was made to the
original structure. Since then the
Mont Carmel Wing in. 1908-09, the
St Louis Wing in 1920-22 and the
Central Tower, from 1920-24, have
been added, with further major im-
provements being made in 1026,
Some of the additions called for
marvels of planning such as the ex-,
cavation of more than 46,000 cubic
yards of rook from a space entirely
surrounded by adjacent structures,
which continued in full operation,
thereby reducing the use of blasting
to the minimum. Masonry on the
tower was completed during the
Winter and often storms and high
winds made it impossible to work,

GORRIE
Saved From Gas Fumes By Neighbor
Mr. Jack Kosh, a resident of How-
ick township, living alone on the
Gorrie Road, south of the village, can
thank his neighbor, Mr. Harry Hastie
for saving his life, one morning dur-
ing the past week. Harry went to
pay a neighborly call on Jack in the
forenoon, and happened to see his un-
conscious form lying across his bed.
Rushing in, he was unaware of the
trouble until reaching his bedroom
Which was filled with coal gas, the
wind having driven it practically all
into that room, Carrying Jack to the
open doorway, and working on doc-
tor's orders he and another neighbor,
Earl Toner were after half an hour
able to help Jack back to eonstious-
ness, when he was able to explain to
his good neighbors he had risen at
the usual hour and had replaced his
cloak in the outer room where he fell.
Thinking it was the flu, he made a
special effort and gained his gas-filled
bedroom where he had collapsed on
his bed, and where he was found. The
gas was from his fire which he
thinkingly had checked too quickly
without letting the gas escape. There
