THE CAR SKI0DED
DRIVER LOSES CONTROL AND IS
NEARLY KILLED.

Lloyd Moore son Of Austin Moore
of the Rose Hill neighborhood had q
marrow escape from death about mid
night Saturday when a car he was
driving turned over at the road side
dragging him beneath and crushing
him. The left leg was broken in two
places and one of the bones of the
left forearm was fractured. In addi
ton severe bruises and innumerable
scratches and cuts were sustained.
In the car with Mr. Moore was Miss
Stella Landgrebe who was somewhat
shaken UP but not much hurt. She
was thrown clear of the Car and sus-
tains little harm.
The accident occurred just east of
Rose Hill near the railway crossing
at rough place in the highway, a
part Of the Great White Way" The
car skidded as it struck an uneven
place in the road and Lloyd lost con
troll with the result that the vehicle
was over turned
Help soon came to the "elief of the
injured man and with least possible
delay he was hurried TO Oskaloosa
and is under treatment at the Mercy
Hospital. The fractures were re-
duced and while the injured man has
endured severe suffering he is doing
well today and will pull through all
right.

Mrs. Farlow shrank as IL she had

The silence, the grim reserve, which
had cloaked Mrs. Britt seemed for a
moment to quit her. II have no son"
she said, her flinty voice biting out the
words. II had one, but he died at

we're no bandages-nothing. That's
why he died. That's why I'm here
now. It's to keep other women--moth-
ers-from becoming the sort of woman

her. "Oh, know what you think Of
me. I've heard what you said. Well,"
said Mrs. Britt, "my son wouldn't have
died like that maybe If I hadn't sat
around smiling and snuffling, never
doing a thing"
Then, her lips drawn into a bony
smile, she glanced about her once
more and stalked back to her place in
the corner.
That night Mrs. Farlow rose from
her place at the bandage table and
sought the table at the back. For the

Every morning Mrs. Britt appeared
at the Red Cross auxiliary in upper
Broadway. She was the first to arrive
In the morning, the last to leave at
night. No one knew much about her,
though She was not the sort that
make condolences. But that she was a
worker--a hard worker--no one would
dispute. Efficiency, as you'd suppose,
was trait of Mrs. Britt's.
Are Efficient Women Hard?
Efficiency-dreadfu word that! How

was both, Mrs. Britt. The moment she

ably she did her work only from sense
of duty. Hard women always profess
that trait. Duty, duty! But, then,
few women are as hard as Mrs. Britt.
In contrast TO her was Mrs. Farlow.
She was soft and womany and gentle
the exact opposite. She was not
very efficient, of course, though she
tried. Day after day Mrs. Farlow sat
at the work table, her mouth culver

Again and again what she turned in

of all those women ached with woman
ly pity for the poor, stricken mother.

Gratitude for the spirit of understand,

denial which the families and trades
of this great state are exemplifying
and practicing. innumerable voluntary
activities to conserve food for those
who are fighting our battles abroad.
| There is much work still to be done
in Iowa, to make the people, as a
whole, realize the grave necessity Of
food conservation in order that the
ever increasing needs of our allies and
our own army and navy are to be sat

confident that this work will be done
Win loyalty ana EMERGENCY.
Message of Encouragement.
"Mr. Hoover is able to announce
that our recent exports to the allies
of pork products and beef are up to
our promises, thus alternating some
what the anxiety and strain under
which the allies were laboring last
winter when the railroad congestion
in this country was the cause of our
falling far behind the promised vol

Exports of wheat are improving as

the allies of wheat and other cereals

complishment would have been i'm

remember that we are sitting at a
