BOY SAVES GIRLS
FROM SLED ACCIDENT

Des Moines, Feb. -. Earl Sloane
fifteen years old, was guiding bob
sled bearing six other girls and boys
as it few down the Fifty-sixth street
hill in Valley Junction.
A rapidly moving street car came
down the track that crosses the street
A collision, with probably death or
severe injuries to everyone on the sled
seemed inevitable.
Bracing himself, the boy guiding the
bob gave a tug and swerved it out of
its path and into telephone pole. The
collision with the car was averted. No
one was hurt except Earl Sloane.
The boy who had saved the others
was rendered unconscious when the
bobsled crashed into the pole. He
was taken to Mercy hospital. His con.
dition today is critical. An operation
probably will be necessary if his life
is to be saved
Those who were on the sled said to-
day that the boy undoubtedly had in
jured himself perhaps given his life
to keep the others from the almost
certain death that faced them from the
collision with the car.
L. T. Sloane Of Valley Junction is
the father Of the boy.

.0sKALOOSA TRIMS
UNPLEASANT FIVE
QUAkERS TAKE ROUGH FAST
GAME FROM ASYLUM CITY
RY 1922.

Mt. Pleasant, Feb. 14.-In a game
that at times more closely resembled
a football Nntest the Mt Pleasant
high school basketball team was fore
ed to accept defeat at the hands Of the
fast Osckaloosa team by the count of
20 to 20. Both teams played all the
basketball they know and the game
proved by far the most interesting
seen on the local floor this season.
Oskaloosa was fast and we'll balanced
and that, coupled with the accurate
basket shooting Of Holmes, Larimer
and Mckinley, was sufficient to win
the game. The Mt. Pleasant team, al
though outweiged by their opponents,
nevertheless battled them evenly
throughout the contest. M. Harshbar-
ger was the chief point maker for the
locals. Captain Green was a marked
man and never had a chance to show
his ability. A large crowd turned out
to witness the contest, the gymnasi-
UNI being decorated in high school
and college colors.

Capt. McKeen, assistant for mater1a
In the operations division in the navy
department, said that 80 far American
submarine experiments had not pro
duced satisfactory engines or motive
power for submerged running. Recent
experiments with the X boats, he said
had indicated that engine trouble
would soon be eliminated largely but
that the storage battery for submerged
operation remained the great problem
to be solved.
Backing For Wilson.
President Wilson today received a
letter from Chairman Hay OF the
house military committee telling him
of the desire of the committee to work
in harmony with him to perfect plans
for national defense and assuring him
of the appreciation which the commit
tee feels for the confidence he has
shown in it's good faith and patriotism.
Undecided on Secretary.
The yacht Mayfower with President
and Mrs. Wilson aboard arrived at the
navy yard at 6 a. m. today. They did
not leave the yacht for the white house
until shortly before o'clock.
The yacht had rough voyage home
during which no one left the cabins,
and it was said some of the members
Of the party were seasick.
The president had engagements to-
day to see congressional delegations
with candidates for secretary of war
and others who were to suggest men
for the assistant secretaryship. 1t is
generally expected, however, that the
new secretary will name his own as
sistant.
Those in a position to know think
that the president will not name an
army man for the cabinet vacancy.
That would eliminate Maj. Gen. Goe'
thals, who has been recommended Tor
the place.
