HAIRBREADTH ESCAPE.
Boy Has Miraculous Escape iron,
 Death Under Truck Wheels.

A young boy came within an ace of being killed yesterday afternoon by a five-ton Mack truck on West Main street near the post office. The little fellow ran out to the truck and tried to get on the running board while it was in motion. It was raining hard at the time and his grasp slipped and he fell to the pavement in line with the rear wheel. The driver put on his emergency brakes as soon as the boys grip broke, bringing the huge truck to a quick stop.
 Passersby gasped at the narrow escape of the boy, who seemed doomed to certain death. After sec ing that the boy was all right, the truck driver unloosened a string Of invectives to soothe his pen4-up nerves.

ENGLAND IMPORTS
 AMERICAN CARS
British Manufacturers Protest Against Autos of Foreign Make

London, oct. 31.--Nearly every industry in Great Britain not favored by the protection of import restric- tionS is trying 10 have itself 'keyed.' A "key'' industry is one essential to British industry and considered 50 affected by the war that it must be nursed back to health through the medium of government assistance.
 The government did not remove import restrictions September 1 on products manufactured by so-Called British key industries. The majority of manufacturers forced into compc- tition by removal of the restrictions believed their industry should have been in the favored list.
 Among these are the autom obile men, who have protested vigorously against American machines coming into England with a duty of 33 Is per cent. British manufacturers ad- init they cannot produce cars in any thing like the amount needed within many months, so the Board of Trade so far has turned a deaf ear to their prOtestatlOnS. In the meantime, American cars are increasing in num- Der on London's streets and one American firm adVertises "deliverY within 48 hours after order taken"
 Duty, the difference in exchange and freight charges, raises the price of an American car in London to about double the price in the United States, but that is not deterring the Englishmen from snapping them up as rapidly as theV arrive
