Unhurt and Began to Cry When
Picked Up.

Whaleyville, Del.-Asleep in the
middle of the railroad track, a 2-year-
old girl escaped injury when a fast
train bound to Ocean City passed
over it.
The train, running about 60 miles
an hour, was in charge of Engineer L.

child until only few feet away.
Brakes were applied, and the trainmen
ran back and picked up little Annie
Kosh, fully dressed and sound asleep,
lying face downward.
The child had to be awakened and
Immediately began to cry. Not q

UNCLE SAM LANDLORD
May Have to Build Homes for
War Workers.
Great Influx of Laborers at "War-
Bride" Cities Puts Living Space
at Premium

WashingtOn.-With thousands of
workmen crowding into the "war-
bride cities of the nation, Uncle Sam
faces the proposition of becoming a
landlord or having his important war
work crippled. The crowded condi-
tions in many industrial centers al
ready are hampering the work of NUM-
lions manufacture, especially with adj
ditional plants being built to employ
more workmen.
The great demand for 1aborers in
many sections has been followed by
the demand for houses Companies
have built houses for their own work
men, and real estate men and builders
have done their best to relieve the
situation. However the onward sweep
of workmen has defied all efforts to-
ward proper housing
The use of beds in eight-hour shifts
has been resorted to in such cities as
YOUNGSTOWN, o.; Erie, Pa; Bridgeport,
Conn; Chester, Pa; Newport News,
Va, and many others. All of these
cities were crowded even before the
United States entered the war In
Erie 45 munition workers procured
room and board in one five-roOm house,
with cots in every room and In the
cellar and attic. Conditions in all of
these cities are becoming worse each
day. One shipbuilder procured 200
badly-needed workers and lost them
the next day because he could find no
place for them to sleep.
