OLSONS IN ACCIDENT:
AUTO DEMOLISHED
Car Runs Off Grade and Is Struck by
Train-Occupants Escape Seri-
Gus Injury-Were Returning
From Wedding

While returning from Cheney to
Spokane last Wednesday the A. E..
Olson automobile went over a grade
and the occupants, including the Oh
son family and the father of Mr. Oh
son, almost miraculously escaped
serious injury or death. The party
was returning from Cheney after
having attended the wedding of Mrs
Olson's brother, Edward Lybecker.
The soft earth of the grade gave way
and the car went over the bank, land
ing on the railroad tracks. All of
the occupants were thrown out but
none were injured with the excep-
ton of Mr.. Olson's father, who suf
fered severe cuts and bruises about
the head.
An oncoming train struck the au-
tomobile, completely demolishing it,
although it is claimed that members
of the party signaled the engineer to
stop. The wrecked automobile was
a new Oldsmobile, purchased by Mr..
Olson last fall as a gift to Mrs. OIL
son upon the anniversary of their
marriage.

LIGHT VOTE CAST At
RED CROSS ELECTION
Mrs. Thorpe Was the Almost Unani-
nous Choice for Chairman of the
191 Members Who Voted

OF the over 1900 members of the
Pullman branch of the American Red
Cross, but 1871 took the trouble to go
to the polls last Saturday to partici-
pate in the election of the officers
for the ensuing year. The light vote
cast was doubtless largely due to the
general satisfaction with the work
of the former officers and the belief
that they would be reelected with
out contest.
The polls were opened by f. NJ.
Slagle, with Mrs. Ellsworth acting
as clerk to record the name of each
one who voted. Later in the after
noon Mr.. Slagle was relieved by p.
w. Struppler and he in turn by John
Squires. The votes were counted by
F. NJ Slagle, NJ. S. lamar and VIM.
Goodyear. While there were a few
scattering votes cast for each office,
the only real contest which developed
was over the office of treasurer, A.
r. Metz receiving 90 votes and Oils
Pinkley IS.
For chairman Mrs. Thorpe was
given a splendid endorsement, re-
all but five of the 191 votes
cast. For vice-chairman Hrs. c. A.
Magoon received 168 votes. Mrs. J.
r. Stephenson was elected secretary
by vote of lat to II for Mrs. Lin
coin, her nearest competitor.

Pullman SWimS New Years DaV

Years morning and later organized
the party that took the plunge into
the tank.
Il have lived near Pullman since
1882, said MIR. Klemgard, "and this
is the first New Years day in all
those SO years that person could
even think of taking an outdoor bath
without flinching, let alone punging
into an outdoor pool and really en-
joying yourself in the bright sun
shine and warm breezes. In the early
days OF Pullman's history we used to
suffer from intense cold, but of late
years the winter climate has been be-
coming, with each succeeding year,
moderate, until this year we are en-
jOying late spring weather on New
Years day. With a real California
climate and our brand new swim
ming pool, there is no reason why we
cans enjoy California recreations. ="
Mr.. Klemgard spent his last two
winters in the south, but upon
emerging from the tank yesterday
afternoon after his Commute carous-
al in its waters, he said mo more
California for me. Our climate is
just as good and | can save all that
carfare and expense to buy Liberty
Bonds and contribute to the Red
Cross and Y. NJ. c. A."

LAWYERS DEVOTE Time
TO DRAFT REG|STRANTS
Local Attorneys Find Little Time for
Other Business with Hundreds
Of Registered Men Seeking
Aid

Pullman law offices during the
past two weeks have been veritable
hFcs OF industry, but the unusual ac-
tlYity of the legal emporiums will
not force any of the lawyers to pay
additional income tax, the service be-
ing given free of charge in the in
terests of the hundreds of local men
who have been called upon to answer
the innumorable questions contained
IN the draft missionaries. From
morning until night there has been
almost a steady stream of the regis
trants seeking assistance in filling
out the blanks and certifying the af-
fidavits. Even on New Years day the
attorneys who had taken to their
homes in anticipation of a day of
quiet were not to be left unm olested.
telephone requests for assistance
and advice coming at frequent inter
vals
The first week of the question
naire activities of the lawyers was
marked by the exceedingly small per-
centage of men placed in Glass / or
subject to immediate physical ex-
animation and draft. This condition
is explained by the fact that these
men, the holders of the lower serial
numbers, had been called before the
county draft board under the former
draft system and most Of them had
been exempted. This week, however,
the percentage of men placed in
Glass ! is much greater, while the
percentage of registrants who claim
exemption and ask to be placed in
deferred classes is correspondlngly
smaller.
The big majority of the men who
have asked legal assistance in filling
out the missionaries have a con-
crete idea of what is expected of
them and most of those who claim no
exemption are ready to name that
branch of the service in which they
are best qualified and desire to
serve. Some of them, however, have
apparently given the matter little
thought, depending upon the lawyers
to do their thinking for them.
A good index to the patriotism
and American spirit of the vast ma
jority of the German subjects in this
vicinity is to be found in the expert
ence Of one of the local lawyers with
a registrant of German birth who APP
pealed to him for assistance in filling
out the QUESTIONABLE. Asked If he
is a citizen of America, the young
German, who is employed on farm
near Pullman, replied that he has not
been naturalized and is still a subject
of Germany. He was instructed then
to place a check in the "alien enemy"
column on the questionable. To
this he objected strenuously, asking
that the word enemy" be stricken.
When told that this could not be
done he asked if it would be possible
to append an explanation, and made
notation on the margin to the effect
that while a subject of Germany he
is not by any means an enemy OF
America but is heart and soul behind
this country in it's struggle against
the kaiser and willing and ready to
do his bit He stated that he de-
sires to become naturalized as soon
as it is possible.

U. S. S. Oregon,
December %, 1917.
went ashore this morning and
while on the island | got few shells
to send to Anna We all had a
dandy time. You see. it is an unin-
habited island and there are caves,
crags, and peaks all over it. We
found some eagles nests and found
a vine back in a cave that looked like
a morning glory vine. At the base it
was just like a big pumpkin. There
was just a kind of a bulb right on
top of the ground about the size of a
washtub and in the center of it the
vine grew. | also saw a school of
seals playing in the water. We went
out about 100 yards from the beach
and could see fish playing in the sea-
weed. The water is so clear you can
look down in it about 100 feet and
see all kinds of sea animals and a
lot of different kinds of sea weed
it sure is a pretty sight.
We came back TO the ship Just
in time to get dinner and go right
back with another landing party to
get holly to decorate the ship for
Christmas and we had a great trip
Of it. We had to land on the beach
where there was no good place to
land because of the gradual slope of
the bottom. There was a heavy surf
and we tried to land and ran aground
and got the boat turned broadside to
the sea, when a big swell struck her
and capsized her. The fellows that
had not gotten out before the swell
struck got out in hurry. The Of
ficer in charge was thrown out head
first and ripped his trousers from
the pocket to the bottom of the leg
Eyes, he got WeD. | was out of the
beat before the swell hit, so was not
thrown out
We then had to wade around in
the water and finally got the boat
out with the next swell. When we
got our holly and started to embark
it was worse than ever. The swells
were running higher and we were
afraid to come nearer the beach with
the boat, We undressed and started
TO wade to the boat and a few big
sWels rolled over our heads, clothes
and all Several of the fellows lost
their shoes and one officer lost his
cap. Another big swell rolled over
us. When we came up | saw his cap
floating toward me and got it. Well,
We all got back to the ship and had
tale to tell the rest of the bunch.
In spite of it all we enjoyed it be-
cause of the excitement. One fell
low lost a $50 glass belonging to the
ship in the struggle in the water.
One good thing about it all was the
fact that the water was warm-just
about right to swim in.
Well, l must close for this time.
Answer soon,
WILLARD.

powers will bring the glow of health and

ness? l am dull. forgetful, respondent,

Answer: Your condition indicates the
need of a strong, harmless tonic nutritive
to restore nerve equilibrium, which in turn
fortifies and strengthens the organs of
nutrition, thus vtalizing the blood and

meme Tablets, packed in sealed tubes with
full directions, are recommended in all
such cases.
Mrs. F. writes: "My husband is surely
afflicted with some kidney disease. He has
become weak and suffers with headache
and pains in his back and groins. Pains are
like rheumatism. His ankles swell and his
feet seem to be tired all the time Some
days he has chills and no appetite. Please
prescribe"
Answer: The symptoms indicate de-
rangement of kidneys and should not be
neglected. l would advise Balmwort Tab
