WORKING ON THE
YEAR HEALTH REPORT

While the yearly report of Secre-
tary J. Austin Ellison, of the Board
of Health, will not be finished until
the first part of next year, Mr. Ellison
is at work preparing the report up to
September and will finish IL at the
end of December.
The report, so far, shows that up
until the present time there has been
four deaths caused by electrocution
This number of deaths from this
cause is somewhat out Of the or
dinary, as it is believed that never
before have so many deaths been re-
ported in any one year from the same
cause. A feature of the report is that
only one death resulted this year
from heat prostration. So far as the
number Of births and deaths are con-
cerned, it is believedd that the ratio
will be about the same as last year.
The number of marriages, however,

KISSED FOR HEROIC DEED
Young Man Saves Girl In Runaway
and Is Affectlonately Rewarded
for the Act.

Cleveland, O.-With romance all
about him and the soft spring twilight
filed with strolling couples, Harry H.
Christensen walked alone one night
and felt himself an outcast until he
started to cross Lake avenue at West
10th street. Then, in breath, he
found himself a hero; was paid for his
bravery with a hug and kiss, and
had been shyly invited to call.
Screams from a girl, the rapid
pounding of hoofs and the rattle of a
swiftly drawn carriage reached his
ears and as he turned he saw horse,
lines dragging on the pavement,
plunging wildly on, with a girl help
less in the vehicle.
Christensen, who is young and ath-
letic, made a football tackle on the
horses neck. His hold slipped, but
as he fell he grabbed dangling rein.
He rolled almost beneath the wheels,
but held the rein fast and brought the
horse to a stop against the curb.
The young woman jumped out
picked him up, hugged and kissed him,
Christensen says. !.
When the horse quieted the young
woman drove her rescuer to his home
1851 West 116th street. En- route she
confided to him that she had gone
driving against her parents wishes
If he would promise never never to
tell of the incident she would like
very much to have him call. He
promised. Also he promised, at hel
request, not to reveal her name. He
kept that promise, too.
The girl is the daughter of a promi
nent Cleveland business man who
lives in Lakewood. Christensen is {
real estate salesman.
