(By International News Service) Chicago, Oct. 84-year- old woman who survived the great Chicago fire of 1871 recalled today some incidents of the holocaust. She is Mrs. Emma Moeng who was 8 years old and the pretty, blonde daughter of Albert and Mathilde Schultze when flames swept Chicago for three days, destroying 18,000 buildings and causing nearly $200,000,000 damage. The fire started on a Sunday night.

She recalled her parents had "company for supper," and when the visitors left, the family retired for the night. About 2 a. Emma and her parents were awakened by a pounding on the front door. Their friends had returned and told them breathlessly of a great fire sweeping the city." The Schultze home was in what was then the city's outskirts. The Schultze family investigated and saw with fear that the flames were headed towards their home.

Schultze and his friends dug a hole in the front yard and into it they dumped the family linen, silver, dishes, bedding, and even a carved walnut bedstead. Then Emma was dressed in numberless petticoats and her six favorite dresses, what she called "layer after layer of clothes." She carried two cages. In one was the family parrot and in the other the canary. She insisted, too, on saving her "China" doll. They walked to the home of friends outside the range of the fire.

It was a long walk and Emma's arms were tired from the weight of the cages. She dropped her doll and it broke. But finally they reached their goal and Emma was able to rest. Several days later, her father returned to their old home. He found it had been swept by the flames.

The hot and smouldering askes burned the soles off his shoes. Only the foundation and the brick walls of his home remained. Schultze was undiscouraged, however. He built a barn in the yard to house his family and some friends. Then he gradually began rebuilding his own home.

It still stands intact and comfortable today. Mrs. Schultze loves it. She was married there, her children were born there, and her son and daughter were married there, too. Now her great-grandchildren romp about it or stop and listen now and then while their great- grandmother talks about the great Chicago fire of '71.

Price, University of Illinois gymnastic coach told the national safety council conference in Chicago today, adding that it should be the responsibility of physical training instructors to teaching falling in the schools. Price said that falls take an annual death toll that is only 1,000 fewer than automobile accidents. He said that falls in the home are the cause of more than half of accidental deaths.
