An automobile driven by Mrs. E. j.
Ellis, wife of the county commission
err of McHenry county, was hit by an
engine at the Main street crossing in
Granville last Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Emmett Carly was sitting in the
front seat with Mrs. Ellis and both
escaped injury, not even being thrown
from the car Mrs. Ellis daughters,
Olive and Myra, were in the rear seat
and the former was thrown some
twenty feet from the car, escaping
with only badly bruised arm. Her
little sister was held in the back seat
by the brace which holds the top and
sustained internal injuries. The en-
CINE struck the rear Of the car, raising
it from the ground and setting it down

NICKNAME STICKS
TO AMERICANS
Soldiers in france Seem Destined to
be Known by This Name as
Long as the War
Lasts.

TINTED Press Leased Wire Servlcel
LONDON, July 2.-"Sammy" is go
ing to stick as the nickname of the
American soldier in France. The
former dough boys" like the sound
of it themselves, and by curious CO
incidence, after the men aboard trans
ports had picked it on the way over,
the French populace at the port
where they landed, greeted them with
the same nickname.
The London Times today printed
long story about elaborate delibera'
lions on the transports in which the
regulars chose their name. 1t was
agreed, the Times asserted, that
Sammy" was the only name worthy
to rank with Tommy" for the British
and "Poilu" for the French. Lcndon
newspapers today devoted columns to
picturesque stories from the French
port where the sammies are now
chartered.

GIRL HURT IN
JUMP FROM AUTO
Younger Members Of Automobile
Party Forced to Jump From
Machine to Make Way
for Boys.

When the police learn who owns a
Ford car numbered 231S50 Iowa. some
very young women are going to be
reprimanded for their action yester-
day afternoon in allowing a girl who
was riding with them, to jump out Of
the machine while it was going at q
considerable rate Of speed, and then
driving on without paying any at
tention to the girl who was badly
bruised and cut when she fell to the
ground A number of witnesses to
the accident were shocked and one
Of them, although not able to obtain
any names, took down the number Of
the car and reported it to the police.
/ The automobile was driven by n
girl Of about fifteen years, and in the
machine were seven other girls, fif
teen years old and younger. 1t de.
veloped that the older girls wanted
to pick up some boy friends, 80 they
told the younger members Of the
party to jump out. One of the
younger girls did. just after the auto
mobile had entered the park through
the Seventeenth street entrance, and
as the machine was slowed down but
slightly, the girl fell to the ground
and was bruised and cut and walked
away with a limp. A little further on
the machine was stopped and two
other girls left the car. No attention
was paid to the one who had fallen.
A few minutes later the car picked
up three boys and the party rode
merrily away. But someone followed
and took down the number.

CAR THIEVES
ARE BLOCKED
Legislature Put Crimp In Operations
BY Arranging for Identifi-
cation of All
Cars

The late legislature enacted law
that will effectively, put a crlmp IN
the trade of stealing automobiles. 1t
will go into effect after July OF
this year. It's good feature is that
all autos which are stored In garages
must be identified by registration
There is fine of not less than $1OO
for failure to comply with the law
It will mean much extra labor for
the garage man, for which he must
of course collect, and the travelling
public will be the loser. However,
there will be many less stolen autos,
and the travelling public will many
times over make up any small extra
storage charges. The act follows:
Section Record of Motor We
hicles Stored.-It is hereby made the
association, corporation, co-partner-
ship, operating public garage III
this state to keep for public inspec-
ton a record of the license number
and engine number of all motor We
hicles taken in or held in charge by
said garage for the purpose of sell
ing, rental, livery, storage, or repair.
Said record shall contain the name
and address of the owner OF the
motor vehicle, the name and address
of the person delivering or .aA'ng
the motor vehicle to the garase und
the license number and number OF
the engine thereof Notify sheriff
and police If numbers altered. The
alteration or obliteration Of said en-
CINE number shall be prirna facie evil
dence of larceny of said motor
vehicle, and the proprietor, agents,
servants or employees, Immediately
upon the discovery of such oblitera-
ton or alteration, shall notify the
sheriff and police officers of the
proper county, and shall hold the
said motor vehicle for the period of
twenty-four hours, or until investiga-
ton shall have been made by the
sheriff or police officers. Not record
ed second time. Provided, however,
such record need not be made when
motor vehicle is taken in or held
in charge a second time, when the
owner or driver is personally known
to the proprietor Of such garage, his
agent or employees.

In his address, the Rev. Mr.. Steffey
referred to individual and national
ideals and their Importance. The
idea suggested by his text was ma.

results. He declared that a nation
may obtain these, but If they are
maintained, the nation and the In
dividual must observe the three card
inal virtues of righteousness. justice
and peace. To illustrate national
ideals. the speaker quoted from Presi-
