Fell on Train
1t is said that the LeVan boy had
Jumped on a car of coal attached to
a train that was moving out OF the
yards toward Rutherford. lie was on
the car, pushing coal off the side. in
order to pick it up for home use. 1t
was said by his brother that the fam
lily was without coal and the mother
was suffering. They had been unable
TO secure coal from city dealers. The
boy lost his footing. fell off the NOV
ing car and in his scramble upon
landing got his left arm under the
wheel. 1t was crushed by the heavy
wheel and hospital physicians said
this morning that as soon as he re-
covers from the shock it will be am
putated at the elbow.
Engine 1920, which was at work
in the yard at the time, was discon-
nected from it's train and started
back to the passenger station with
the injured lad. The hospital ambu-
lance was ordered to report at the
station to receive the boy.
Out of Control
1t is thought that the engineer
misjudged the distance because of
the snow when he approached the
station, for passengers and employees
at the station foreSaw the accident
by the speed of the approaching en-
gine and jumped for safety. There
was a report at the station after the
accident that the engineer lost his
head and tainted at sight of the
wounded boy. Another report said
the brakes refused to work.
The engine which approached the
station backwards, crashed through
the bumper, the iron gate and the
end of the trainshed, throwing steam
and smoke throughout the station
and the American Express COMPANY
office, situated next to the passenger
platform, through which the engine
crashed. A pillar, beside the back of
the bumper over which the engine
passed, was splintered by the force
of the impact.
Frank S. Levan, brother of the
injured boy, was in the cab of the
engine attached to the train that
ran over his brother. and accompa-
MED him back to the station. He
received a number of bruises when
the engine crashed into the station.
He is employed at Steelton by the
railroad company.
1t was said at the hospital after
the accident that both victims will
recover.

 To see these young women-from S0O0 to 10000 Of them, the best the country can produce, spread out on the grass under the big trees, is indeed worth con- ing many miles to see.
 Nearby is the ever ready community service wagon loaded with ice cream, chocolate candy and other dainties which these young ladies eagerly pur- chase at small cost. An attractive young girl will be dipping down into the big cream churns while others are hand- out candy and other things to Uncle Sam's bevy of youthful workers.

 Air: When the Roll Is Called Up Yon- der I'll Be There" We are going across the ocean to the
 blood-soaked fields of France.
 To fight for human rights and liberty; And when we get the Kaiser We sure
 will make him dance
 From a scaffold high as Haman's
 hanging tree. Chorus: For we're going to hang the Kaiser. We're going to hang the Kaiser. We're going to hang the Kaiser, And we're going to shoot the Crown prince straight to hell. When we get among those German Huns they'll know there's been fight; We will wipe from Hindie's race that
 cruel grin, For we'll shoot the message to him that
 we're boys from Uncle Sam,
 And we'll open up the highway to Berlin. Chorus
 Now our soldiers and our sailors are as fine as ever seen, And our engineers they surely bear and grin.
 But when the fighting's over and the glorious victory won. 'Tis marines will lead the way into Berlin. Chorus.
