GIRL CATCHES HER
HAIR IN SHAFT

Knoxville, Aug. 25.-Miss Esther
Wilson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest Wilson, who reside six or
seven miles southwest of town, met
with quite q painful accident and ran
narrow chances Of being scalped when
her hair was caught on the line shaft
of a gasoline motor used as power for
a washing machine and for other pur'
poses.
The young lady's hair-a wisp near
the forehead-became entangled on
the driving rod or shaft, was quickly
wound around the rod and the girls
body slammed up against the side OF
the building But for the fact that
the machine did not have sufficient
power, the victim of the accident
would doubtless have been literally
scalped. AS it was, the resistance
caused the belt to slip, but not until
the shaft had pulled out quite heavy
lock Of the hair and made large
scalp wound. A Knoxville surgeon
made necessary repairs and Miss Es-
Their now fights shy Of power wash
ing machines.

NEW BRANCH OF
SERVICE IS PLAN
SPECIAL TYPE OF FIELD SCHOOL
FOR ARMY OFFICERS At
IOWA CITY SOON.

Iowa City, Aug. %. "A new branch
of training service for the United
States army = a type of field school
for officers, will be established at Iowa
City this fall if the present number
of men now planning to return to the
university carry through their expecta-
lions under the recent student militia
order. lHt
The new army training station as
it would be established at Iowa City Is
a very recent creation, being mainly
designed to equip civilians and retired
guardsmen or regulars with sufficient
military training to enable them to
take commissions as officers in volun-
teer forces in time of need. The pro-
visions are for the placing Of one Of
these stations in cities where a con-
siderable number Of guardsmen return
from the border, and under the student
bill some twenty of the men of CON-
pany A engineers expect to leave for
Iowa and Iowa City soon.
1t is expected that the former
guardsmen themselves will be requir.
ed to enter the school as well as give
instructions to other outside men. Drill
work, map study, and theoretical
movements will probably be the main
features of the field Of work to be I'M
dertaken.
