LAD STRUCK BY CAR

John Bones, Jr., little grand
son of Mrs. J. M. Holden, OF
this town, had a narrow escape
on Friday morning, when
struck by a car driven by Will
liam S. Robinson, who is en-
ployed at the Ford Garage in
Rising Sun. The little fellow
although painfully cut about
the face and legs, escaped SER
ious injury.
The accident happened on
South Queen street, in front
of the Holden home, when the
lad ran from behind the ice
truck of the Oxford, Pa, ice
company, directly in front OF
the car driven by Robinson.
The boy was knocked down.
He was picked up and carried
into the house, and it was fear
ed he had been seriously hurt.
1t was some time before a ply
stefan could be located, but DR..
r. G. Dodson was finally COM
municated with. His examin-
alton revealed the fact that no
bones had been broken and
that the lads injuries, while
painful, were not serious.
At a hearing before Magis-
trate Cecil E. Ewing, Robinson
was exonerated from blame,
but an examination of his driv-
er's license showed it had ex-
pired and he was fined for this
lapse.

BEETLE

The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the
State of Maryland, through the

PORT DEPOSIT INVENTOR
PERFECTS TRACK
FOR TRUCKS

Otha F. Hopkins, of Port De-
post, has perfected an inven-
ton for trucks and motor cars
that enable the machines to
travel through mud and mire,
and promises to revolutionize
transportation where there are
no roads and through condi-
lions which have blocked mo-
tor trucks and cars.
The appliance has been Civ
en- rigid tests by the U. S. Gov
eminent and an order placed
with the Port Deposit inventor
by the Government for motor
lied Field Artillery of the Ma
tional Guard.
The invention is a series of
steel tracks which can be plac-
ed on any truck when trans
portation difficulties present.
They can be carried compactly
as equipment and attached or
taken off in a short time.
The Army and Navy Regis
ter, in a recent issue, pointed
out the advantages for army
use. The track or tractor goes
on the wheels of any truck and
with this equipment, the ma
chine will go through mud,
swamps and over sand dunes
and ravines.
The headquarters Of the
company are located at Port
Deposit with Otha F. Hipkins,
president and former State
Senator Cecil c. Squire. vice
president and secretary.
1t is reported the new inven-
ton is to be built at Port De-
post, giving employment to a
large number of men. The
manufacturing of the product
is now being done at Whining
ton and Baltimore. According
to the officials, the company
has a number of untitled orders
on hand.

and I'd remember the place-so I'd be
almost certain to 60 back. Or perhaps.
II lost out In the greeting, but some
time during the evening this beautiful
girl would stop at my table and ask me
If I was having good time, I'd 60
away with happier memories :"
That's all right for your side Of 1t,
Mr.. Linder. But suppose the girl who
was with you didn't react in the same
way"
Now let's not be too analytical. You
have to take life as It comes. unless
you can do something about it. Sup
pose you put on your most beguiling
evening frock and give the fountain
room whirl. 1t will be decidedly Diff
ferent, I promise, from the club, and
the people who come down there"
June was always good-natured, and
when she saw Linder had his heart
set on extending her duties along more
sophisticated lines, she agreed. As for
evening clothes, she was not equipped.
She examined the status Of her bank
account with some anxiety. Perhaps
she could risk hundred dollars. Maybe
If she shopped cleverly she could get
two dresses for that. Shed have to be
very careful, though, for she was going
to be very conspicuous and nothing
tawdry would do.
This new adventure turned out as
we'll as the club. She found 1t rather
intriguing All she had to do was make
herself as lovely as possible, and be
friendly with people. She made no ef,
fort to be other than her natural self.
"Oh, sure" she'd concede. I'm from
Missouri. but it's been right smart
while since I've been home. No, hon.
estly, I don't know what that show
me- business means. I reckon the
rest Of the country knows more about
1t than we do"
Perhaps she did emphasize the COL
loquial in her speech trife more than
usual; but this was done, as rule,
to Offset some woman's exa ,gerated
New Yorkese.

thing Of the sort one night, .etailed 1t

How do you know she can't?" Grady
asked.

Get her in here and ask her"
Have you got time to kill? That's
what 1t amounts to-"
Listen, I've got hunch. I know
she's not a Gall Curci-but this Mis-
souri, business is a good gag-did you
notice how it caught on? All you have
to do Is sic a columnist onto some
thing of the sort. and sit back while

June came in from her office, next
door to Linder's, when he sent for her.
She laughed delightedly at Grady's
preposterous question.

June was an immediate success as

the day many sought her acquaintance
and some her advice Linder had to
