MISS LAzEAR INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Miss Virginia Lazear, daughter of
Mrs. Sallic Lazear, suffered a broken
collar bone and other minor injuries
at $50 Wednesday afternoon as a
result of an automobile accident. Miss
Lazear, Cadets "Swede" Castle and
Harold Wax of the Missouri Military
Academy were enjoying a ride over
the city in Miss Lazear's Chalmers
when the accident happened, according
to Miss Lazcar.
All three of the young people were
riding in the front seat and Castle
was driving. AS they were going
down Promenade street the froai
wheel on the left side o fthe OAR came
off turning the car over on its side.
| None of the occupants were thrown
aut. Miss Lazcar was thrown against
the steering wheel which resulted in
her injuries. Aside from being badly
frightened and shaken up the young
men were not injured.
Miss Lazear was taken to her home
on South Jefferson street, in a car frorI
Creigh Brothers Garage, where a ply.
stefan was called.
Thursday morning when asked how
fast the car was going at the time
of the accident, Miss Lazear said she
did not know but thought they were
going rather fast. The shock render
ed her partially unconscious for /
short while. Besides a demolished
wheel the fender of the car was badly
damaged.
Miss Lazear probably will be con.
fined to her bed for several days.

MISSOURI DOCTORS OVERSEAS.

Sundays Post Dispatch in telling Of
the work of Missouri physical in SER
vice overseas says of two well known
here:
CDR. Nathaniel Allison Of st. Louis,
has had the direction of all splinting
in the American army hospitals in
France. Under his supervision the
percentage of fatalities resulting from
fractures was greatly reduced"
"a most important assignment was
that given DR.. Virgil Loeb, another of
the st. Louis doctors whose proffer Of
aid was eagerly accepted Ranking as
Captain, he is at present in charge of
Maxillo facial surgery in the hospitals
of the Mesves center, France. These
institutions have 10000 beds and spec
ialize in the treatment of shell and
gunshot wounds of the face. As there
are thousands of American, French
and British soldiers under treatment in
these hospitals and as the process of
treating the wounds is necessarily
slow, it is expected that DR.. Loeb will
be required to remain abroad for some
time"

INTO FRANCE NOW

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The of
fetal record announced by General
March showing the location in France
and Germany of the American divis-
ions, gives eleven divisions as COM
prising the army of occupation.
Comparison with the last official an
nouncement of the composition of this

seth (Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska,

and Colorado National Army and
Goth (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma National Army divisions
have been detached from the army of
occupation. This reduced the aggre-
gate strength to eleven divisions from
twelve.
(Relief of the 89th Division from
the army of occupation is taken to in
dictate that the division is to be re-
turned to France with other reserve
divisions, which include the 35th.)

THE Chamber of Commerce will
shortly have complete data regarding
the establishment and maintenance Of
a Y. M. CA. If it is found that there
is any doubt concerning Mexico,s abil-
ity to support such an institution
some other suitable memorial for our
soldiers will be decided on. The gen
eral opinion is that whatever the men,
Drial is it should be one of service to
the county and city. An auditorium
for public gatherings, conventions and
other affairs needing such large quart
ers or a community house have been
among the suggestions offered should
the Y. M. C. A. plan prove impractical
for this city.

MEXICO w. C. 7. u. DID
NOT HALT IN FACE OF
: GREATEST OBSTACLES

Persistence wins especially if your
cause is a just one
This statement is again proven by
the State of Missouri ratifying the
National Dry Amendment. It was
proven a few years ago, along the
same lines, when Mexico voted Dry.
The persistence in this instance was
applied by the w. C. T. u, and the
Mexico Chapter, under the able dir
ection of it's president for the past il
years, Mrs. J. H. Lane, not only aided
materially in driving booze from this
community but from the state and
the nation.
You wouldn't believe It but Mrs.Lane
says it is a fact that when the W. c.
T. u, was first organized in Mexico
the churches would no. allow them TO
hold their public meetings in them.
This, according to Mrs. Lane, was but
one of the Mony crosses the workers
had to bear in the years of faithful
service. In June 1885,, according to
Mrs. Lane, Ella June Mead, n Of
the most prominent readers on The
American platform cane to this city
under the auspices Of the local chap
ter of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union. Mrs. Lane said they were
refused all of the churches for the
meeting and finally secured Hiner
Hall, the room now above the Sunnen
Garage on North jefferson street.
The women cleaned the hall thor
oughly, decorated it and placed rugs
on the floor to make it more attractive
and when the hour of the program
arrived gathered. No one except the
faithful appeared. They delayed
starting for a short time but no one
came so the few remained and heard
the reader give her entertainment.
The next day they learned that the
saloons had stationed a man at the
foot of the stairway to tell all those
who came that the stairway had been
condemned and was not safe. Mrs.
Lane says this was but one instance
Of the many they have contended with
throughout the years.
On May 6, 1882 the local w. C. T. U.
was organized by Mrs. Clara C. Hoff-
man They met at the home of Mrs.
Rosamond Forest, on east Liberty
street. Mrs. John p. Clark was the
first president. Other presiding If
acers Of the early days of the organ
zation were: Mrs. Rosamond Forest,
Mrs. D. H. Hill, Mrs. W. B. Mcintyre,
Mrs. John Boies, Mrs. H. K. Hinde and
Mrs. Lane.
Ia the fsce Of ridicule and discou--
agement this little band has chung to-
gether, growinA stronger and more
powerful each yeaS. When the war
came they continued their work for
= cleaner and better nation and at the
same time made conform bags for the
soldiers from this county az they en-
tered service. In the last wax they
won the deep gratitude of the men.
In the years to come the w. CT.

splendid work they did in behalf of
humanity in the fight against one Of
greatest evils the world has ever
Known. 3
