WAYNE CITY H., Juns 25.-
This little town has an infant
prodigy.
She is Mary Jones, robust
three-year-old tot.
Mary has gone TO school but
one day. On that occasion she
spelled "anti -phlogistine" and
and "menthoIatum" with ease.
The teacher banished her.
Unable to write as yet, except
by using baby blocks, she can
read or spell to degree which
has astounded her elders. The
child lives with her great-aunt,
Mrs. F. @. Jacobson, owner Of a
book store. The child obtained
her phenomenal education reading
books on the floor of the store.
II have never tried to force
the child to learn" said Mrs.
jacobson. sShe was always
bright, and last fall when school
started and the children came in
TO get their books she asked for
one, too. She spent most of her
time in the store with me. She
had already learned her letters
from blocks. I gave her a
primer, and in a few weeks she
could read every sentence In it.
Soon she mastered the first
reader. In January she had read
through the second reader twice
and now is in the third reader.
"She is not learning so fast
since warm weather has come.
She wants TO be out playing, and
i am glad she does. Next winter
she will continue her studies"

State Line Life Saver
for Speeders at
Bristol

BRISTOL, Pa. June 26.-In
catching speeders the police Of
Bristol are beset with the difficulty
that the Tennessee Virginia State
line which divides Bristol in the
middle, is always a safe harbor for
the speeder If he is able to reach It
before being arrested.
When a motorcycle officer in
Bristol. Va, starts after a speeder
he has to reckon with getting the
speeder before he gets to the State
line and it is. seldom that the Of
fender fails to make dash for the
"dead-line." And it is the sanc
way on the other side Of the city,
they all start for another State
when they see the law after them.
The officers usually get the num-
ber Of the speeding car and their
only recourse is to wait until it
comes back. on that side OF the
town.
The question has been frequent
ly discussed by the city officials on
both sides but no practical solution
has been found. The police on
each side are limited In jurisdic-
ton to one side. They can work
in conjunction only by sharing in
formation.

CONTINUOUS BELL ALARM.
Recommended In China For Automobiles
As Safeguard To Public.

Shanghai, Aug. 30.--As a means of
preventing automobile accidents the
Health Precautionary Association" an
organization composed OF leading
Chinese of Shanghai, recently prepared
a list of suggestions among which are
several of engaging novelty. The sug-
gestions which were adopted at meet
ing after lengthy debate were submit
ted to the municipal council of the inter
national settlement. Among the meas
ures that the organization advocates
are the following;
All motor cars have rubber tired
wheels and run without noise. 1t is too
late TO blow horn when car has al
ready collided with pedestrian. A car
should have very small bell attached
to one of the front wheels and this bell
should be kept ringin all the time
SO that when pedestrians hear it they
can get out of the way. This bell
should be half the size Of bicycle bell.
Each car should have speed limit,
but the fire brigade doctors and police
motor cars should be exempted.
"A chaffeur should wear brass
badge on his breast. The badge should
be three inches in diameter and should
have his name and the number of his
license in English and Chinese inscribed
thereon. The badge should be issued
by the municipal council at few taels
each. Then a man not licensed will
not dare drive ear. 8
"All motor trucks should have rails
or iron chains around the cars TO insure
saftey and incase Of collision cargo will
prevented from falling and injuring
pedestrians. Cargo should not be piled
too high TO prevent danger when pass.
ing over bridges.
"There should be one licensed chat
feur and an assistant to take charge of
each motor car or truck The assistant
should sit behind and keep lookout
when the car turns around, goes back
ward, enters or leaves the garage. The
owners of the car will not mind spend
ing little money in employing an as
sistant chauffeur.
after a person is killed by motor
car a wax image of the deceased should
be made and placed in room and any
chauffeur who causes injuries to others
should be locked up in this room so
that he will see the image and feel
sorry. This may cause him to repent.
This has been introduced in America
and has produced successful results

NEW WARFARE
IN EUROPE
Austria and Hungary Clash
Over Narrow Strip OF
Territory
AUSTRIAN TROOPS
WE'RE ATTACKED
Frontier Was Changed BY
the Treaty of St.
German

Paris, Aug. 3O.--Inter allied officials
here were concerned to-day over re-
ports of hostilities between Austrians
and Hungarians at Odenburg, capital
of the province of Burgenland, mar
row strip of territory along the Austro-
Hungarian frontier. Austrian troops
which were sent to occupy Odenburg
as a result of the award of Burgenland
to Austria through the treaty OF st.
German, were attacked on Sunday
night, and the incident has caused
great tension between Austria and
Hungary They are reports of other
conflicts between Hungarian insurgents
and Austrian soldiers along the frontier
between the two countries.
1t is understood that protest has
been made to the allied powers by the
Austrian government. Jugo-Slayia and
Czecho- Slovakia are said to have taken
a threatening attitude as a result OF
the conflict IN Burgenland.
The frontier between Austria and
Hungary had stood for nearly 1000
wears until it was changed by the
treaty Of st. German. Burgenland is
full Of ancient landmarks, great cloist-
ers and churches, and many members
of the Hungarian nobility own extern
sive estates there The clffef value Of
this region to Austria is from strategic
consideration. If it is occupied by Aus
trian forces and comes within the juris-
diction of the Vienna government, the
eastern frontier of Austria would be
placed beyond ridge of low noun
tains which can be easily defended.
There are five large towns in the dis
Wieselberg, Altenberg, st. Goth
ard and Guns-which would remain un-
der Hunbarian control, and Odenburg,
which would become Austrian.

YOU must admit that a very large ma
iority of them lived TO a ripe old age;
the same treatment that kept them so
well and vigorous will keep you the
same.
SEVEN BARKS is made from the
extracts of several different kinds OF
leaves, roots and herbs, and has for
nearly so years been recognized as the
most reliable remedy for correcting
and preventing disturbances OF the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Get
the stomach and bowels working right
and most other ailments will vanish.
SEVEN Banks restores healthy,
natural bowel action, in most cases 1T
promotes appetite, and quickly puts
the digestive organs in shape to as
simulate food. 1t also acts on the liver
and kidneys, failure of these to act
properly allows the whole body to be
poisoned, and brings about other COM
plications.
The principal cause Of backaches is
the kidneys when they don't perform
their duty, and If not flushed and the
poisons thrown off, serious trouble will
happen, SEVEN BARKS will not only
relieve kidney troubles, but keeps your
