BOY NEARLY CRUSHED
UNDER AUTO WHEN HE
JUMPED FROM WAGON

Recklessness of children and dan
ger that turks in their path from
heavy traffic over the streets of the
city, especially motor vehicles, was
brought home only too strongly at
noon today.
A 10-year-old school boy, returning
to his home for the noon recess. was
riding around Church Circle on the
tail board of a horse-drawn vehicle
AS the dray drew into West street, the
lad, without looking, jumped off and
fell sprawling in the middle of the
driveway. Immediately behind him
was a big touring car, driven by a
naval officer. But for the fact that
the momentum of the car was slight,
having slowed down because of the
congested traffic. the wheels would
have passed over the boys body and
instant death would more than likely
been the result.
The officer at the wheel happened to
spy the child and Immediately applied
the brakes. AS it was, the left front
wheel grazed leg of the lad Thor
oughly frightened, the boy scrambled
to his feet and ran off,
Recently a somewhat similar acci-
dent was averted on West street,
when a 7-year-old boy started across
the thoroughfare without taking a
glance in either direction. He was
within a few inches of the front
wheels of a motor car when the
grinding noise from the brakes being
applied, alone drew the attention of
the lad and prevented him from get
ting directly in front of the car and
being crushed.

learn more of the principles of the

Answering some OF the attacks that

nationwide BOOM
IN BUILDING SEEN
straus Finds Increasing De-
mand for Non.Resi.
dental Type.

Indications that the national build
ing industry has attained boom pro-
portions are seen by S. w. Straus of
New York.
There is every indication at pres
ent that unusual activities in the
building situation will continue
throughout the present season." he
asserts. There Is a steady inquiry
for capital for building purposes with
of non-residential type. Apartment
houses and apartment house hotels
of large dimension also are growing
in demand in the larger cities.
While the present extensive build
ing developments are greatly aiding
the housing situation and are equal
izzing the wide margin which has
existed between supply and demand
1t is to be borne in mind that. as
the standard of living improves in
America and as new conveniences
and arrangements are developed in
apartment house construction, there
Is a correspondingly increased de.
mand developed. 1t is to be expected
that strong and steady demand for
high-class apartment houses will be
sustained.
There Is every indication that the
labor and material situation, taken
from the standpoint Of the nation in
general. is quite well stabilized. /,
is not apparent that anything will be
gained by holding OFF for better
prices. although with the continua.
tion Of present activities there will
be shortages of both material and
labor at various times and places. Blu,
there Is no apparent reason why cur.
rent building activities should moi
move along steadily throughout the
season."
