BOY Is HURT
BY AUTOMOBILE
YOUNG son OF MR. AND MRS

DOWN BY CAR

Robert, the six-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Robt. Corey, who reside on
the corner of Washington avenue and
Second street, was quite severely in
Jured by being struck by an auto
mobile in front of his home about IL
O'Clock this forenoon
The boy was crossing Second
street from the opposite side of his
home when the accident occurred. A
car was standing in front of his home
and car coming from the east and
another from the west met at this
point, making three cars abreast. AS
the street is only 33 feet wide at this
point there wa snot room enough for
the boy to escape the cars, hence the
accident.
ONLY a few days ago there was
a congestion of cars at the same
place which nearly resulted in an ac-
cident. Second street, west OF
Washington avenue, where Garfield
school is situated is of regulation
width, but east of the avenue it mar
rows TO 33 feet, too narrow to ac-
commodate traffic. The matter of
correction has been before the city
commission several times, but so far
nothing definite toward widening the
street has been done.

RED CROSS PLAN
FOR PEACE
DELEGATES TO HOLD CONFER
ENCE IN MINNEAPOLIS
THIS MONTH

Minneapolis, Sept IA confer
ence of Red Cross delegates from
every chapter in Minnesota and
North and South Dakota has been
called by the Northern Division office
to be held in Minneapolis September
% and 23.
At this conference the complete
peace program of the Red Cross, SO
far as it has been formulated, will be
discussed, and plans for the third
annual Red Cross Call, to be held
November to IL, will be announced
in detail
In issuing the call for the confer
ence, Clifford C. Held, division man
ager, expressed the hope that for the
most part delegates would be selected
who were familiar with the war pro-
gram of the Red Cross and would be
able to bring experience thus OBJ
tanned to bear upon the problems
which are expected to arise in con-
nection with the new service which
the organization plans to do for hui
manity in the way of public welfare
and public health.
There is no question" Mr.. Held
says, that the Red Cross has the
most far reaching program of any
organization of its kind in the world.
1t is probable that further steps, even
beyond those already announced, will
be outlined in connection with the
peace program. The watch word of
this new movement of the Red Gross
is 'Americanism' and the northern
division hopes to send the chapters,
through their delegates, complete
knowledge of what 1t is proposed to
do in the future, what the tremen-
dous scope of Red Cross program
means to the health, happiness and
education of our own people"
