BOBBY NEUMAN
HIT BY CAR In
HOME STREET
Serious Chest and Lung In
.juries Sustained by Gus
Neuman's Youngest Son;
Condition Favorable

Bobby Neuman, five-year-old
SON of Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Neuman,
sustained serious chest and head
injuries Sunday afternoon be-
tween 5 and 6 o'clock when a
Dodge touring car driven by Earl
Broughton hit him in the road in
front of the Neuman home. John
Neuman had just driven up to the
Neuman garage, which fronts on
the street, with Bobby and Lawr-
ence in the car. Lawrence got out
of the car to go into the house
while John waited for Broughton
to pass. Broughton, who was
watching Lawrence did not see
Bobby get out of the car and go
across the street.
The Broughton car hit Bobby,
but stopped within couple of
feet of the accident. 1t is thought
iby medical attendants that the
fender of the car hit Bobby. The
car was travelling at a moderate
rate of speed, according to wit
nesses of the accident.
Bobby was taken Immediately to
DR.. l.. G. Spaulding's home where
DR.. Spaulding worked over him for
several hours before he took him
to the Linn hospital. Bobby had
concussion of the brain, a bad
bruise on the chest and a hem
morhage of the lungs. DR.. Spauld-
ing reported today that he was
progressing nicely, that the con-
cusion was clearing up and that
he had asked for food for the first
time.

The green grass has grown in re-

1T is always difficult to intro

equality for Profit" is to be the
central theme of the marketing
train under. the direction of the ex-
tension service, u. S. Department
of Agriculture and the N. p. rail
road, which will visit Kennewick
and Prosser, May IL. The train
will consist of two cars of live
stock and livestock products and
three cars of horticultural and gem
eral farm crops exhibits. These ex-
hibits have been especially prepar-
ed for this marketing train and
will tell a story in brief and
pointed way. That story will be
centered around the production of
high quality products of the right
kind.
The local committees at both
Kennewick and Prosser are work
ing upon the details for this day
in each community. <Fully 1000 peo.
ple are expected at each commun-
ity to visit the train and see the
exhibits.
1--WE have no hesitancy in saying
that farmers will see a type of ex-
habits which is rather new and
which will tell story from which
many suggestions could be gather
ed which will be of real benefit
in the solution of at least some of
our marketing problems" said E..
C. Durdle, county extension agent
today.
sThe results in the feeding of
lambs as secured by Lampson and
Osborne and published in last
weeks paper are factors which
would have much to do with a good
sound economic program for our
section. The results of the work
done by Lampson and Osborne are
right in keeping with the line of
exhibits which will be seen on the
marketing train.
Farmers should keep the date
of this train in mind and plan on
letting nothing interfere with max
inp this a holiday for the entire
family. Remember that a free
lunch will be served by the bus
mess men of each community to
farmers and their families"

ondale avenue to the city limits.
 Within an area of about HOO square miles northwest of Chica- go." Taylor points out, 'there are today more than 800 miles of con. crete highways, all of which focus upon the northwestern city limits. There is today no direct convenient and adequate way for the traffic on these 800 miles of improved high ways to continue its journey on into and through Chicago.
 "The Avondafe supcr-highway is one of the means of providing that way
 This highway. about 10 miles long, will be 16O feet wide and will have ramps connecting it to inn portant cross streets in such a way that there will be. no right or left hand turns. Underneath or to the side of this road, as facilities per | init. there will be a 5O-foot highway to take care of 'local' traffic.
 The entire highway will run | alongside the railroad tracks praC- i tically all the way. Coming into the i busy downtown area, it will connect with two Or three feeder or dis | tributor highways leading traffic | into the western boundary of the ! high-speed quadrangle that has ] already been built around the loop district.
 This super highway is indicative Of what the Chicago Plan Commits sion believes must ultimately come i in Chicago" says Taylor, namely, separate uninterrupted through routes for long distance trafficc movement. These would extend from end to end of Chicago and provide direct continuous routes without To- cal or cross traffic, but connected at frequent intervals with every impor- tant thoroughfare in the city"
 Eventually. adds Taylor, the com mission has in mind a system of from six to ten super highways radiating out fan shaped from the heart of the city to the municipal borders, north, west and south. In this system. he believes, lies the so- lution of the municipal traffic prob lem.

Chicago, Nov. S.-Citizens of Chi cago will vote Nov on the first of two proposals to construct high speed super highways through the busy districts of the city into the country 10 the wue> and northwest.
 The project now on the ballot for approval of the voters is that calling for a bond issue of s20.- 100000 which would defray the costs of building an overhead high. way nearly seven miles long through the western part of the city. The other project that is being prepared for future approval of the Chicago citizens calls for the construction of a 10-mile super highway of even larger proportions that will lead traffic from the congested center of the city to an outlet in the north west corner.
 Both projects. are the products of the Chicago Plan C. nmission, of which Eugene s. Taylor is manager. At present the commission is center ing it's efforts on the Austin-kir 'ie highway to the west, which is await ing approval or rejections this com ing election day.
 This proposed highway will be nearly five miles long and will av- craze SQafeet in width. It will open llp a part of the city, says Hugh F. Young. chief engineer for the Chi cago Plan Commission. which has been the most neglected of all sec tions so far as traffic facilities go. Furthermore, it will enable visitors from the immediate west to enter Chicago by this super highway more directly and more easily than they can today.
 Stars from Loop Area
 The Austin kinzie highway will start at the Chicago river just out side the loop and go directly west on Austin and kinzie avenues almost 10 the city limits. All this way it will he either on filled soil. like a rail- road right of way, or on viaducts, crossing some 75 streets overhead and feeding into S1 of these.
 Connection to these 31 streets will be by means of ramps so placed along the middle of the highway as to afford entering and leaving without hindrance tP traf- fic. Where ramps are provided, each 10 feet wide, the highway will be 1O9 feet wide.
 According to Young. this high way will be wide enough to &C., commodate nearly 45Oo vehicles an hour in both directions, Or about S0,o00 day. This is far beyond the expectations of traffic demands ss far off as 1850.
 Saves $2,4OO,0O0 Year
 If SO.000 owners use this high way daily, he calculates, each would save about 10 minutes running time to downtown Chicago. Evaluating this time at cent a minute, cover ing only the saving in gasoline. wear and tear, this would mean saving of 10 cents a trip. and this would mean an actual monetary saving of sSO0O a day or s2,40O,0O0 a year.
 The other projected highway out of Chicago is called the Avondale super highway, running over the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad yards out of the center of the city then alongside the Chicago and Northwestern tracks and out on Av-
