c. E. GILMORE ALMOST
ELEcTROCUTED IN CAR BARN

G. E. Gilmore was badly injured
Tuesday afternoon willis ut work at
the car barns in Denver, and was
rushed to tha emergency hospital,
where his wounds were dressed and
he was afterward brought to his home
in Arvaia.
Mr.. Gilmore, who is employed by
the Interurban Railway Company,
was oiling the motor Of car when
his head came in contact with the
head light resistance wires and this
held him firmly till car painters
heard his cries and released the
trolley.
The contact with the live wires,
however, burned the flesh just back
of his right ear to the skull bone, and
there are blue spots on his legs and
arms where the current evidently
congested the nerves and blood.
The wires nre charged with $50
volts, which OF course passed thru
Mr. Gilmore's body. He was resting
fairly well at Ian. reports, but it will
be some time before he fully RECEIVERS
from the severe shock to his nervous
system.

COMP TON HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM INJURY

J. M. Compton is thanking his stars
that he is alive and all together since
the near accident he had Saturday on
the mail route. He was bowling u
long in his flivver at IL lively clip ON
the road going east from Denver
view. Those familiar with this road
know there is high bridge across
the High line canal, about half a mile
east of Potter's corner. A consider
able hill on either side of the bridge
usually inspires the motorist to speed
down the one to go up the other on
"high" speaking with respect to fliv-
vers. Mr.. Compton has invariably
descended like sky rocket whenever
he came to this srot in the road, and
this time was no exccption,-until---
he caught his breath quick, for rs hc
started down the hill he looked right
square into the jaws of death, he war;
lily believes now, and would have lit
tie trouble in proving it. For there
ut the near end Of the bridge was II
big hole washed out and il was n big
jump from the solid road to the main
structure of tho bridge. He showed
on the breaks, shut off the gas and
fortunately "killed" his engine, or he
undoubtedly would have been plum
ged head first into the chasm, and

MOTOR MAD AMERICA

The English writer who says America is ''motOr mad is about right It may be something for the trade boast o but is something for the rest of the nation to think about There many desirable and praise worthy features about having automobiles in this country than all the rest of the world has together but automobiles not unmitigated blessing
 Every family may have an inalienable right to own for 1t is most convenient means of transportation and surely transportation is fundamental human right But what of the millions of families that buy before they afford them buy more expensive than they afford! Nearly everybody wants bigger and faster The natural desire be able to get about develops into desire to "go fast and to be al ways going.
 The nation to be developing veritable motor mania. a state of mind which wants to be moving rapid y regardless of direction object which cannot keep still which regards motion desirable thing. The continuous physical motion in itself tends to create responding mental motion-a state of mind lacking pose and power of concentration.
 This result is certainly as bad $ the accompanying extravaganza and the Encouragement of home life. It iS fact largely responsible for them A mind not at rest properly estimate real values and enjoy the things family life, literature, music, art fine social intercourse family life. eratre. music, fine social intercourse and the study of nature.
 This last item would be worthy of extended ment by itself. The motor maniac little for tup. and less of 1t. however he may the landscapes that rush past his speeding Gas-engines have little to do with nature. The of magnifi cent touring doubtless has something very fine but the sitting quietly under tree beside stream may have something worth more than all the automobiles on the worlds highways.
