TRAIN WRECKS MACHINE; capes Serious Injury when Fast Train Demolishes Car Theodore Anderson, chauffeur for Frederick H. Scott, of Sheridan road, Hubbard Woods, is in the Evanston Hospital recovering from severe in- juries received when he was thrown from a car he was driving, by a fast north bound Chicago and North- western train, at Gage crossing, Monday morning. The car was struck squarely and a moment later, he was picked up fifty feet north of the crossing where he! had been thrown into a ditch with one of the car doors. He was rushed to the Evanston Hospital where physicians deter- mined his injuries were confined to several scalp wounds and other minor bruises. It was not thought he had suffered internal injuries. | Anderson, according to the train crew, was thrown fifty feet when the pilot of the engine hit the roadster. He escaped serious injury, though the car was completely wrecked. Anderson had been calling to a friend, walking near the crossing, it was said, and did not notice the ap- proaching train.

They must With the advent of Spring and Summer motoring season, the auto- mobile owners of Illinois, driving at night, will have to mind their p's and q's more closely than ever be- fore. Otherwise they will be haled into court for violation of the state law, recently revised, which makes compulsory the dimming of head- lights on passing vehicles when they are a distance of 250 feet or less away from one another. "The police have been instructed to see this law is strictly observed," said C. W. Price, advertising man- anger of the Osgood Lens & Supply company of Chicago, "that the large number of accidents and the dangers of night driving of past years, due largely to glaring headlights, may be eliminated. $ MONEY IN OUR WANT ADS § A arr 277 277 0 277 2 Zag ddd 7 dd dad ddd, NORTH QL rzzrriaiiiuiaiiiiidiiis didiiidizzs C.

Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla., for service in France. Each man of each company is a soldier. 'At the front the duty of these men will be to drive the motor cars used by officers. Late last year orders were received to train a motor car division at Camp Johnston. The men provided numbered several hundred, all fresh from civil life, and the majority of them total strangers to a motor car. The officers assigned to the work of training the men laid out a course on the theory of the internal com- bustion engine and automobile prin- tiples, in particular. The men were thoroughly grounded in theory, and given a complete practical course in the highly important matter of re- pairs. They were familiarized with motor car parts, and received their final course of driving instructions with a fleet of twenty-seven cars.

In the year 1916 the Bell Telephone System expended over sixty-one and one-half million dol- lars for equipment and construction--an amount seldom exceeded during any year of its existence. During the same period approximately six mil- lion dollars additional compensation was paid to the employés of the System to cover the abnormal working conditions.
