The national association recently

all forms of effort for child hygiene
except, of course, where existing or
CARNATIONS are efficiently conducting
such work"
The Iowa branch of the associa-
tion accordingly plans consider
able expansion of work in the direc-
tion of child hygiene, and will en-
deavor to carry out an even more ex-
tensive program in 1921, providing
the sale of health seals next fall JUS
titles the proposed program.
More than three times as many of
the health stickers were disposed Of
in the December sale as ever before
in Iowa.

of each of the five sectional meet
ings of the Iowa State Teachers as
ISOLATION which are to be held in
Iowa during the next few weeks.
These meetings are to be held at

tuberculosis associations.
The program of the Iowa Tuber-
culosis association for 1920 con-
templates an active organization in
every county to fight tuberculosis.
These associations are in many cases
branches of other organizations al

Reported Killed, Iowan May Live
The case of John Slechta, Vail
soldier boy reported dead by the
war department and reported alive
by young French woman whom he
met in France and correspondent
with after being wounded, is more
of a mystery than ever. Several
months ago Miss Agnes Slechta, a
sister of John Slechta, received a
letter from Mademoiselle Helene
Pauquet, in France, stating that
she had a letter from John Slechta
written after the time given by the
war department as the date of his
death. She was quite positive
about it. Miss Slechta Immediately
wrote to Mademoiselle Pauquet
and yesterday received another let
ter from her. In this letter the
French woman reiterates her be-
lief and understanding that John is
alive and says that his present adj
dress is Concord, Mass, U. S. A.

Narrow Escape for Train

A Burlington passenger train mar
rowly escaped being upset into the
Mississippi river, near Keokuk when a
cotton boulder at the top Of the ZOO
foot bluff overlooking the river just
above the dam slipped from its rest
ing place and avalanched down the
hillside, lodging against the railroad
track at the bottom.
The passenger train, speeding to
make up lost time, came around the
curve a few minutes later. The
emergency air brake was applied so
violently that most of the passengers
were hurled from their seats. The
locomotive and all of the cars passed
the rock. A huge hole was knocked
in the water tank, which allowed all
of the water to run out before the
train could be started again, and all
of the steps and brace. rods on the
right side of the coaches were torn
off or fiattened against the bodies of
the cars. Had the stone projected a
few inches higher the train would
have been tipped into the MISSISSIPPI
river, but few feet down the bank
on the opposite side of the track.

Couple Married on Bridge

With cutting March breeze blow

Missouri river between Council
Bluffs and Omaha, heightening the
color in the face of the handsome
bride and causing the officiating
minister to take tighter grip upon
his hat, Sterling Pringle and Miss Ell

married by the Rev. R. L. Wheeler
of Omaha, as they stood on the Iowa
side of the line between the two
states.
The young couple secured mar
riage license in Council Bluffs and
went to Omaha to be married, when
they learned that the license was not
good in that state. Wishing to
keep the fact of their marriage secret
from Omaha friends they decided up
on the expe6ient of being married on
the middle of the river bridge-or to
be exact. little over the line, in

They drove to where white line
on the bridge marks the boundaries
of the two states, and standing in

Youth Drops out Of sight

Mystery surrounds the com
plete disappearance of Thomas T.
Forbes at Lamont Thursday even
ing.
The last seen of him was about 5
p. M, when he called at one of the
local garages to secure car to drive
to Mount Ayr, about 20 miles distant
where he had spoken of, going to
meet his wife who was returning
from a sanitarium at independence,
Mo. He did not meet her, but she
did not notify anyone till more than
"a hours afterward. Since then au-
thorities of Kellerton and Mt. Ayr
have searched for him in vain. He
did not get the car, but no ticket was
sold to Mt. Ayr and no one at the
station saw him board the train. He
is about 35 years old, tall, dark and
wore blue serge suit in which he
did his work as superintendent of
buildings and grounds at Graceland
college. He and his wife. with one
child, have boarded near the college.
They came here from Saginaw,
Mich, last fall. An accident or
aphasia are the only guesses prevail
ent.

Large Memorial for Omaha

A new $1,00O,000 auditorium to
be erected as a memorial to the men
of Omaha who served in the great
war, as near the center Of the bust
ness district as site can be secured,
is the plan of Omaha men for the
immediate future. The civic i'm
provement department of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce is at work on
the idea. Dave Cole is chairman.
The new auditorium, according
to tentative plans, will cover an en-
tire city block, will be double the ca
pacity of the present structure and
will be built to accommodate any
convention, show or gathering which
may fall to the lot OF the city.
AS an instance of the inadequacy
of the present building. Clarke Pow
ell, manager of the fifteenth auto
mobile show, the most successful
ever held west of the Missouri river,
said:
For four years we have been
handicapped in giving Omaha a show
relative to the city's place in the
automobile industry because of
cramped display conditions. The
show this year, while tremendous
success, was but half what it could
have been had we had the space"

Fire which was discovered shortly
after eight o'clock Sunday morning
resulted in the destruction OF two
Ford cars and an Overland at the
home of c. d. Marckres at Perry.
The garage in which the cars were
kept was badly damaged. The Marck-
res family was enjoying their addi--
tional hour of Sunday morning
sleep when neighbors aroused them.
The fire had such a start that they
were unable to do much because of
the smoke and had to let the ma
chimes burn. BY use of all the hose
on both trucks the firemen were able
to save the garage from complete
destruction. The cars burned were
a new Ford Sedan and an Overland
owned by c. ID. Marckres and Ford
touring car owned by H. p. Marck-
res. The blaze started under the
hood. of the Sedan and was probably
due to short circuit. Mr.. Marck-
res had 5000 insurance on the new
car but there was none ON the others.
