While driving along Main street
road with his four year Old step
daughter, Monday afternoon, John
Wilson, teamster in the employ of
James Camerons Sons, suddenly
pulled up his horses and jumped from
the seat to pick up the child who had
fallen forward under the tongue and
near the horses rear hoofs.
The accident to the little colored
girl happened about 8 o'clock as Will
son was returning from the Cameron
farm near the powder works and
when passing Hubenthals grove, the
wagon struck bump, precipitating
the child to the roadway.
At half past four, the child, Mary
Margaret Linn, died as a result of the
fall the only mark from which it is
probable her death resulted, being on
the right side of the head and near the
base of the ear.

Mother Was Away.

When Wilson picked up his foster
child and started hurriedly homeward,
the little one lapsed into unconscious
ness and the stepfather was unable
to arouse her. He drove to the home
back of the Pfaffe slaughter house In
the rear of Blondeau on Seventeenth
street. Mrs Wilson was ironing at
the home Of Mrs. Chas. c. Lawson, a
white lady, at 1T24 Blondeau street.
The little girl was taken there and

from the high seat of the wagon was

American farmer Is paying two or

cost of transportation Is known to be
an important factor in the high cost

ANTI.SKID TIRES
ARE NECESSARY
Michelin Tells How to Use
Them In Most Econom-
ical Manner.

In recent interview ]. Hauvette-
Michelin, head of the big tire works
at Midtown, New Jersey, stated that
the greatest drawback to a more gen.
eral use Of anti-skids in this country
has been the added cost, as the motor
list already has a complete set of rub
ber-tread tires, which he does not
want to discard. AS matter of
fact" continued Mr.. Michelin, -four
Anti-Skid tires are not necessary, on
ly two being required to assure safe
driving under all road conditions. One
antl-skid should be fitted on one of
the front wheels, and one ON the
opposite rear wheel. II the driver
disposition OF the anti-skid tires Is
one on the right front wheel and
one on the left rear wheel, but II the
car drives from the left side. like REQ
cars and Fords, then the anti-skids
should be fitted to the left front and
right rear wheels. or course the two
rubber tread tires that are removed
when the anti-skids are fitted may
be kept for spares for the two wheels
still carrying ordinary tires.
The advantages of the tire equip
ment suggested, are, first, safety be-
cause the two anti-sklds prevent &C
cidents due to skidding when driv-
ing on wet or muddy or ice-covered
roads. and second, the two rubber
tread tires hold firmly on hard dry
pavements. Then again the economy
of the Michelin combination IL appar-
ent, only two anti-skids being reQuir-
ed instead of four. Users Of small
or medium powered cars are now en-
abled TO adopt anti-skids at a moder-
ate investment. or course drivers OF
heavy lfmousines and other high pow
cred cars have always used them"
The Michelin Company, which pro-
duced the first successful anti-skid
tires FIVE years ago. makes steel
studded leather tread tire that is at
once practically puncture-proof and
-skidding. besides geing resilient.
because the rubber side walls are not
cnhned by the tough. though flexible
leather tread. Using two of these
tires, as suggested by Mr.. Michelin.
Instead OF four seems to solve the
skldding problem In q satisfactory aud
