CHILD STRUCK BY AUTO

Thursday afternoon the lit
tie daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
McNew was struck by an auto
mobile driven by Mrs. l.. r..
Stitt on First avenue. The lit
tie girl was struck on the fore
head and the imprint of the
nameplate on the car radiator
cut through the skin. She was
knocked down by the concus-
sion and the carpassed over her,
one wheel bruising one leg. No
serious injuries were apparent
when an examination was
made by DR.. Pollock and it is
thought that none will develop
internally.
1t seems that Mrs. Stitt and
the little girl both stopped to
allow each other to pass and
then both started forward at
the same time. 1t is almost
miraculous that the child was
not fatally or critically injured
in a collision with the heavy
automobile. Mrs. Stitt was ter
ribly shocked and frightened
at the accident and stated that
she fully expected to find that
she had killed the little McNew
girl.

THE TRAINING OF THE ARMY

The beginning of winter finds the
work of training going on at full
| blast in hundred camps and sta
tions. Not far from half of the total
number of men training are encamp-
ed in the big National Army canton
has 16 new cities, each as large as
Pueblo or Colorado Springs.
Sixteen camps, nearly as big as the
cantonments, but not built as dur
ably, are housing the National guard
divisions.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
men have Joined the regulars since
the war broke out. There are seven
teen regular army stations and
camps being used for the training of
these recruits.
Not all the Aviation Fields have
been finished, but in dozen of them
cool-headed young men are being
taught to fight in the air
Nine camps have Just rounded off
the second increment of officers for
the Reserve Corps.
Five medical camps are in opera
ton, and three camps for engineers.
All of the larger camps have been
built in the last six months The
biggest of the National Army canton
ments, were built in three months
at total cost of 100000 On
ly little over twice as much was re-
