GIRL BADLY INJURED.
Signie Carlstrom's Skull Fractured
In An Auto Mishap.

Miss Signie Carlstrom, daughter
of Mrs. Oscar Carlstrom Of Maple
Grove, lies in DIR. Larson's hospital
with a fractured skull. She has been
there since last Sunday evening, and
we are told that her chances for re-
coyery are about $3.50. She has
been unconscious most of the time
and the only nourishment she has
taken has been little water occas-
ionally.
The accident in which Miss Carls-
from was so badly injured occurred
on the county road west OF the coun-
ty farm last Sunday evening. Miss
Signie and sister. Miss Ruth. were
riding with a couple OF friends who
came over from Iron River that af-
ternoon in their Ford car to visit the
Carlstrom family. The boys asked
the young ladies TO go with them for
an auto ride. The driver and Miss
Signie were In the front while her
sister and the other young man oc-
cupied the rear seat. They went TO
Fortune Lake, turned around and
were on their way home.
AS they neared the side road COM
ing from the Fortune Lake explora-
tion a horse and buggy suddenly en-
erged therefrom. The driver OF the
Ford swerved his car to the right
to avoid hitting the rig. The front
wheels held their course safely. but
the rear hind wheel struck the side
OF the bank and the side pressure
caused IL TO dish and crumble. This
threw the car on it's side across the
road and the occupants were thrown
violently to the ground.
Miss Signie was the only one hurt
She received two bad cuts, one over
the right eye, evidently resulting
from a bump in the car before being
thrown out, and the other bad cut
and fracture of the skull near the
base OF the brain.
She was taken at once to the hos
pital where she bled profusely from
ear for time. but that has stopped.
She was totally unconscious for "a
hours and has been in a stupor more
or less for the time since coming
too. There is hopes of her recovery,
but they are mixed with many doubts.

MANY MEN RETURNING TO WORK

The third week Of the steel work

sumption of operations at the plants.
practically as they were before the
strike was declared.
II is evidently another case OF a
house divided against itself" for the
strike is not supported heartily by the
conservative wing OF the Federation
OF Labor, although on its face, Mr..
Gompers is supporting the strike.
There has been some riotlng at the
mills and few fatalities, but in the
main the strikers are quiet and there
is no trouble. At Gary II became ne
cessary to place the town under mar
tial law, more to prevent any blood
shed than because OF much having oc-
Cured Federal troops are there and
the district is quiet and orderly under
a martial law declaration.
Boats Continue Running.
There has been no complete sus-
pension of lake traffic as was expected
would follow. In fact there is but
little information obtainable on the
boat situation. but the fact that boats
are running and are carrying iron
ore Is evidence that there isn't a
complete shutdown.
1t was reported on Monday that the
coal handlers at the Lake Erie docks
decided to go back to work and that
fact is liable to lead TO a general re-
sumption OF unloading OF boats at
lower lake ports.
The Steel corporation boats are
not running in any number. but there
seems to be sufficient wild tonnage
and independent company boats 10
keep most OF the independent mines
in operation.
In the case OF the Steel corporation
II is stated that there Is enough ore
on the lower docks to keep the fur
naces in operation until next ship
ping season.

The American Red Cross Is pre-
pairing TO launch its third roll call, 20

900 annual members and $15.000.o00.
The first question that will arise is:
"why does the Red Cross need mon

National headquarters Of the Amer
lean Red Cross has answered this
question and has outlined graphical
ly the reasons why II is necessary to

national and local work
In brief the answer is as follows:
Because-The actual war work is
not completed. The Red Cross can
not lay down its responsibilities TO
the American soldiers, sailors or ma
rines until everyone of them has
been released from service, recovered
from illness or wounds or receiving
proper care, or back in the place in
the world from which the war snatch
ed them.
Because The American Red Cross
Is planning to launch a comprehen-
sive program for peace times. design
ed TO prevent the needless waste of
human liyes through preventable dis
eases and accidents in America; con-
tinue and broaden its home service
work and public nursing, first aid,
home hygiene and Junior Red Cross
activities.
Because-By recent. act OF Con-
gress medical. surgical and dietary
food supplies values at $35,000,000
were turned over to the Red Cross by
the government, the supplies having
been purchased for use with the AM
erican forces. These supplies are
scattered throughout Europe, many
OF them far from the places where
they are most needed. The prompt
and efficient distribution and handling
OF these supplies means inc mainten-
ance OF force OF trained workers
where the supplies are AID where
they are most needed.
Because -Pestilence and st.rvation
gripped many European coun-
tries because OF the war lAese
countries are unable TO cope With
their own difficulties. and the only
force organized with facilities capa
BILE OF stepping into the breach and
bringing order from chaos Is the Red
Corss. Typhus Is sapping the man
strength OF many countries. and the
American Red Cross Is using every
available power 10 check IL.
Because The Red Cross must be
prepared TO meet emergencies aris-
ing from disasters at home and
abroad.
The Red Cross membership must
be maintained at its present high
standard Every enrolment Is avote
OF confidence In the past performance
OF the American Red Cross and real
ization Of the belief In the principles
for which IL has stood In the past
and It's plans for the future.
The Red Cross, having committed
itself TO definite and comprehensive

forward Il must have as general a
membership as possible. and ample
