GIRL HURT BY AUTo-FATHER
SUES MARSHALL FIELDS

Marshall Field & Co., which oper-
ates the Cathedral of Stores" own

crushed the little body of Alice Ar
ling, just 4 years old, on Feb. 20.
And Marshall Field & Co. is a mem
Der of the State Street Retail Mer-
chants assn, which protested to the
chief of police against enforcement
of the ordinance requiring tenders on
auto trucks. The chief never did
make the big firms equip their auto
trucks with safeguards.
Alice was playing in front of her
home at 366 Oak st., on Feb. 20,
when the accident happened. The
child saw a paper box she wanted in
the street. She waited until a wagon
had almost passed and then darted
from the curb to get the box.
Running quietly but swiftly along
behind the wagon, according to police
records, was the auto truck.
When the horse-drawn vehicle
reached the point where the little girl
was STOPPING to pick up the box the
truck swung around the wagon and
bore down on her. e.:
Bent over, the child neither saw
nor heard the truck until the driver
honked his horn frantically and put
on the brakes. Then it was too late.
Alice was run over by the heavily
loaded auto.
The driver, Edward Vohacek, jump
ed from his car, picked up the crush
ed form and hurried to the Passavant
hospital at top speed.
Here the babe underwent several
operations. Where the wheel pass
ed over her body she has a crushed
thigh and hip and a fracture of sever
al bones of the pelvis. Physicians say
she will be crippled for life.
The father, Oscar Airing, filed suit
against Marshall Field & Co. for $1O,-

Encouraged by the action of Rep.

IS into habits which may be their

boys into habits which may be their
ruin.
Destroy the Christian Sabbath and
you destroy the Christian religion.
I'VE would not, as women, presume
to direct the affairs and business of
Our town, but we do, as mothers, i'm
piore our own officials, our fathers,
Our husbands, to exterminate these
houses of ill-fame which are said to be
in our city. Your child may be pure
and good today, but the agencies Of
the devil are at work, and tomorrow
the sweet, pure, innocent one may be
corrupted, and your very heart torn
ard bleeding from a living sorrow.
= hich you would welcome death to
relieve. God holdeth the wealth of the
world in His hands, and we believe, as
Individuals and as a town, if we keep
His holy law, He will prosper US far
beyond our expectations, but if we do
not, we need only go to His Holy
Word to read of tn edestruction of in
dividuals, cities and nations
The ladies of the other churches had
no regular meeting yesterday, but we
feel sure the sentiment of these reso-
lutions will be adopted as unit by all
the Christian women of the town.

stand for the protection of the morals

Nitre Cake Is
Useful Thing
For England

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Nitre cake, a
waste material produced in enormous
quantities in the manufacture of nitric
acid, has been found to be useful pro-
duct in the wooden industry and calico
bleaching. A solution of the cake can
be used as a substitute for sulphuric
acid or any mineral acid in chemical
processes where acidity alone is re.
CURED. But it is not suitable in solu-
tons stronger than Is per cent, and
thus ca not be used in the dye stuffs
industry or in the manufacture of ex-
plosives.

LADIES PASS WORDS
OF CONDEMNATION
ON SUNDAY OPENING

The following resolutions were
brought before the Ladies' Missionary
society of the Methodist and Presby-
tcrian churches, and were unanimous
ly adopted by rising vote of the la
dies:
The Christian women deeply de
pore the existence of so many places
that tend to lead astray the young
people of our town. No person has
ever committed a great crime as the
first act of sin in his life, but is Led,
perhaps, gradually to commit a deed
of which he never dreamed of being
guilty.
Gods commandment is to remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy, and
we feel that if the proprietors of our
drug stores that keep open on the
Sabbath, would just stop to think, as
Christian gentlemen, of the many
young lives who, under this influence,
are taking the first step in the wrong
direction by desecrating Gods Holy
Day, they would not only close their
places of business on the Sabbath, but
would exclude these chance machines,
which will, perhaps, lead our precious
