Boys LUNG TORN

His right lung torn by a sharp iron
picket in the fence around the Cranch

today lies dangerously hurt at his
home, I3s Tenth street southeast. Dr.
J. S. Arnold, medical inspector OF Dis,

demns the unsafe fence, one OF the
few of its type around a school play
ground. and will strongly urge its
abolition at the next meeting OF the
Board OF Education.
81 have been expecting one OF the
children to fall on that fence and In
jure himself for some time" said DR..
Arnold today, "and IL possible, am
going to have II removed"
In a spirit OF brsvado the Weiner
boy stood up between the sharp
spikes of the fence yesterday after
noon, calling upon his playm1tss to
follow the leader" A few minutes
later, screams were heard in the play
ground, for Francis had been pulled
from the fence by a companion. and
in falling his right side had become
impaled on one OF the spikes. So
deep was the penetration that it took
the combined efforts of three boys
to get him loose.
DR.. Arnold, summoned from his
office at "a Second street northeast.

which he WAS taken to his home. The

A little footsore from their frst
days nine-mile walk, the only two
women mail carriers in America
gamely set forth again from the city
postofrice at Z o'clock this morning.
Mrs. Pernelia Campbell and Mrs. Mel.
lie McGrath are determined to make
good.
This is the way the suffragettes
should picket" said Mrs. Campbell.
They would do lot more good on a
mall route than they do In front OF
the White House"
AS soon as the women fully demon
strate that they can take the place of
men on mail routes. they will wear
full uniforms with. caps and badges
which they now wear. The uniform
will probably consist of a gray dress
and a Jacket similar to that wurn by
the men, II was said at the posIoffice.
The two women will be allowed to
make the experiment for a few days
alone, and II II proves successful
other women will be employed to
carry mail.
There IL no reason why women
should not be able to carry mall"
said Mrs. Campbell. ar the postmen
go to the front and shoulder guns.
why shouldn't We be able to shoulder
their mall bags?"
The postwomen did their work yes
terday without making a single mis-
take. In spite OF their newness, they
completed their three rounds in less
than the required time.
''If any OF the men carriers don't
think we are able to carry the mail,
we'll show them" Mrs. McGrath said.
'The work Is hne, and am sure the
exercise will be beneficial. / am glad
| took the job"
''The curious looks that everybody
gave us made US feel rather queer
and out OF place the first day" ad-
mitted Mrs. Campbell. but we will
soon get used to that"
