LITTLE GIRL BADLY
HURT BY AN AUTO
Helen Johnston, Five Years Old, Car
ried Under Rear Wheel of Machine
Is Recovering.

Run over by the automobile of c. B.
Channel, near her home late Friday
evening, little 5-year-old Helen john
ston, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. T.
Johnston, was unconscious for "a
hours. but is now recovering and it is
believed completely. The little girl
was visiting the little daughter of DR..
Baker, across the street from her
home, and shortly before s o'clock
started to return. DR.. Bakers auto
was standing by the curb and as she
ran out she did not notice the ap-
preaching Channel machine, ands its
occupants could not see her until she
suddenly emerged from behind the
Baker auto. Mr.. Channel tried to
swerve his auto and succeeded in get
ting the front wheels out of her way,
but she was running with such mo-
mentum that she could not stop her
self until she struck the machine and
was carried beneath the rear wheel
which ran over her breast. Nobody
was to blame for the accident. The
little girl has always been extremely
cautious and no doubt was confused by
the presence of the standing auto.

BY this triumph Of method 1t was shown that

FED. VOLUNTARY
PROVISION STAYS
But There Is Every Prospect
Conference Will Wipe

WASHINGTON. April THE Sen
ate retained the federal voluntary
provision in the army bill late yester.
day by a vote of 36 to "a, rejecting
Senator Lees amendment to strike
the section from the bill. The vote
ended a four.day debate on the sec
ton.
Advocates Of the National Guard as
the first line OF defense behind the
regular army supported the amend'
ment vigorously. and the struggle was
one Of the hardest.fought in the Sen.
ate at this session Of Congress. 1t be.
a after the defeat OF the military
committee last week, when a proposal
to create a National Guard section OF
the army general staff a written in

The narrow margin by which the
I federal volunteer provision was MAIN
tanned makes 1t doubtful that 1t will be

conference committee between the
two houses. An effort during debate
On the House army bill, to insert this
section, which is designed to provide

Without Republican support tho
volunteer section would have been
voted out by the Democratic Senators
despite the fact that It was unani-
mously recommended by the military
committee. Twenty.four Democrats
and 10 Republicans, including nearly
