for every breath, hoping the engineer would soon go away.
He did decide finally to go away, but as Pat puts it, mot without
the engine"
Smoke blew around, irons clattered, brakes shrieked and groaned-
and there was Pat gasping for dear life itself. He chung O with his
hands and feet until a huge iron compelled him to lose his foohold.
He now tried to save his head and arms from being ground to
pieces. The engine pulled along. Pat expected any minute to be
mashed to pieces. A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind
long could he hold on?
Soaked With Blood, He Sinks Into Inconsistencies.
To Pat death was inevitable; he could see no possible way to avert
it, no means of attracting the attention of the engineer. He remembered
he began to shout for help, but his cries were only drowned out by
severe blow on his left side-the cuts of which he bears to this day.
He felt himself getting weak wet with blood he
sank into Inconsistencies
Days passed, days for which he al give n account, days with life
in the balance. Then finally, O. the fifth day, Pat again gained con-
sciousness.
There, beside his bed, stood Pats parents, friends and neigh
bors, and, in the middle of the group, the unfortunate engineer
himself. Needless to say, all were overjoyed to see this response
to medical attention in a boy they had literally given up for dead.

good formne-or Providence. The engineer had occasion to throw a
switch, and while he wa o. the ground he CHANGED to look down at
the engines running gear.
Imagine his horror to see Pats tatered body lying on the ground
under the engine. He sgnaled the fireman in the cab, the freman's
hand shot to the levers and the immense monster of snortng steel
screeched to a stop. The engineer lifted out the unconscious form from
beneath the undercarriage.

HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES hS
OF PEoPLE LIKE YOURSELF -


lIELLO EVERYBODY!
l. I'm still learning what a terrific beating the human
mind and body can take and still survive. The latest one to
impress this lesson on me is today's Adventurer-Patrick J.
Lafey of Trenton, New Jersey. Pat Laffey, as a boy in
Ireland, crawled under a locomotive and was hanging to the
undercarriage when the engineer started his train. His
description of the heavy steel rods as they started to move,
the story!
Pat was just, as he puts it, "a broth of a boy' in 1915,
living in Galway, Ireland. On this particular autumn after
noon, he and two companions set out blackberrying. So
lovely was the scenery, that they Travelled farther from
home than they had ever before ventured-some ten miles.
I'VE dared 60 n further" Pat says. Test we get lost in III home
ward journey. We were all tired now, sc W started home. bringing our
collection Of berries along"
The boys crossed a few fields, when suddenly they came to
fall into any more bitches, they started home along the track.
They had walked about half . mile when their attention was
attracted by q huge engine which lay o the sidetracks nearby.
ITO me-" Pat says, "who had never seen ne before, this huge
the aged engineer a he pushed and pulled levers. How that thing did
whistle and shrek" Pat recalls. Il think I hear it now"
Mystifed, Pat Climbs Under the Locomotive.
A little later. the engineer left his position and walked down amongst
other ars o the track. The engine was still steaming and kissing.
This" Pat says. was u chance for a final analysis of or mystery
was this huge thing really aive?"
The more they looked at it, the more confused the boys became.
They walked around it, saw its dirty, greasy iron bars, its large,
shiny wheels. And now" Pat says. my race with death occurred.
I feel a cold SILVER right down my spine now.
II myself set the trap for the grim jaws of eternity. II was a
foolish act on my part, as 1 learned later. Now, boys, don't get
q fainting spell when you read this, but consider yourself in my
position. What would you have d0ne?"
Well, here is the incredible thing Pat did. Being greatly
interested in the engine, he examined 1t rs best he could; 50 did
his chums. Rather than miss anything, he crept underneath the

ASKED TO
SEND FEWER PERSONS
TO STATE ASYLUM

The state board of examiners
has announced that county
boards of commissioners will be
asked to send fewer persons to
the state asylum at Warm
Springs in the future to relieve
the crowded condition there.
The institutions population in
creased from 1907 January l,
1887 to 1913 early this year, &C
cording to Dr.. B. l.. Pampel,
superintendent.
DIR. Pampel asked the board
of examiners to advise county
commissioners to limit narcotic,
alcoholic and border line senil-
ity cases so the population at
the institution can be kept at
a number in keeping with avail
able facilities. The superintend-
ent said many of the persons
sent to the institution can be
cared for at home or at county
hospitals.

congress taking a national view
point rather than a SNUG sec
tional stand. I am prouder of
my membership in this house
more than ever before, after
noting the splendid support
given with alacrity to our rec
lamation projects by congress-
men from all sections. I want to
tell you we might as well not
kid ourselves any longer. Our
export trade is gone and we
are going to have to live within
ourselves.
I'VE members of Congress
from the west have first-hand
knowledge of the value of rec
lamation, irrigation and the re-
h~abilitation Of the west. We
know from personal experience
that the sole hope for the flu
ture of the west lies in projects
as covered in the appropriation
bill we now have under conSid-
Grafton.
Il need not point out the i'm
portance and necessity of land
restoration, irrigation canals,
water power, rural Identification
and other earmarkS of a civil
lized country in the west. The
nation as a whole can never be
stronger than each of the in
egral sections. Therefore, it is
of indisputable value to our ma
tional standing that western
projects be considered in the
light of an au-embracing ma
tional program.
And if we prune appropria-
tons below the figures deemed
necessary by authorities, we
then contribute to the weakness
of our western United States
and the United States as q
whole.
Again permit me to say that
economy is an excellent pro-
cedure, but not at the expense
of humanity. (Applause)"
