A remarkable accident In which Mr. and .Mrs. HIgsby of Salt Lake' City, Utah, miraculously escaped In stant death or serious injury took place at Dole Crossing, between Myr tle Creek and L 11 lard at 6 p. m. Thursday when their auto crashed into a south bound passenger train. Blaine Klum of this city was a pas-1 senger on tne train and witnessed the accident. ( The couple were In a Ford car, de- j scending a dangerous winding road down a hill, when Mr. Ripley evi dently loBt control of the car or the latter struck a stone. Anyhow, the car suddenly swerved and jumped off j a twelve foot railroad embankment, I and struck squarely the side of the; dining car of the fast moving train. ; Mr. Klumfrwaa in the diner and saw the descending auto which struck the side of the cur Just back of him with t an awful crash. After Btrlking the car the auto bounced back, then i lunged forward again, striking the j steps of the rear Pullman car and was dragged for a distance of 20 to i 30 feet. The train was brought to a stop' as soon as possible and backed up to I the scene of the accident, the pas sengers expecting to find the auto's occupants ground to pieces. But not . so. The auto, ground into a shape- j less mass, was found lying on a cat-' tie guard of the railroad, and pinned ' beneath the wreckage was the wom an, lying face downward on a cattle guard, badly shaken up, but whose only apparent outward Injury was a contusion In the center of her fore head, small cuts under the left eye, and a sprained ankle. Remarkable as It may seem the man was found lying on the other side of tho track, his only apparent injury being a sprained knee, lie was either thrown clear over the train or else after the train had passed had scrambled up and walked to the other side of the track where he fell prostrate. Both the husband and wife were perfectly conscious when found. They were taken to Glendule on the train and placed in the Glendule hospital. The front wheels of the auto were found 73 feet away from the other auto wreckage with every spoke bro ken in both. The crushed suit cases of the couple found near the accident hud all the leather ground off the sides, and the handles were torn off.

Not for show, not for vanity, will jewelry be given this 'JChristmas. Kach gift of jewelry will be more truly than ever this year a gift of love,.

Nor Is there anything so easy convertible Into money, if needed. The gift of a diamond today Is an Investment which constantly ad vances in value. The gift of gold and silver seems to be the only one fitting to represent the love which is welling up In every heart at the thought of coming separations, of the days when a sea will stretch between, of the days when people on this side and people on that side will be striving for right.

NO DROra USED FACTS ABOUT WOOL THE NEED for CONSERVATION is apparent to all. In the present acknowledged SHORTAGE of WOOL and the growing anx iety as to the question of FUTURE SUPPLY. . This problem is ever increasing in importance because of the tremendous demands already made, and In Immediate prospect for the QUARTERMAS TERS department In providlngadeuuate clothing and equipment for an army whose present estimated' maximum will be five million men. The requirements for such an enormous military establish ment can he shown In brief, by the TEXTILE WORLD' in issue of recent date, in the following Interesting data. It has been estimat ed that 70 lbs. of scoured wool per year will be required for each man in active service, which, on the basis of present army estim ates, will call for 3.n million pounds. ' It will readily he seen from the standpoint of military necessity alone, that an unprecedented demand for thlc commodity has been created. In addition, tho needs of the civilian population, even though reduced to a minimum, contributes another enormous total to those of the military estimates, The extent to which restriction is being placed on civilian constunptlon ot wool is aptly illustrated by a recent order Trom the war Industries board prohibiting the manufacture of hard knitting yarns of wool until further notice. With this unprecedented demand on the world's supply of wool, we find the following far from reassuring facts: The United States produces annually about 110 million pounds of scoured wool or about one-third of the wool required for an army of five million men, which appears to be the present estimat ed ultimate size of the army. The other sources of supply such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentine are cut off on account of the enormous demands of the war department for the transportation facilities to France. So It Is up to the people who stay at home to have their old clothing Reclaimed by hating them cleaned and pressed or dyed. Master service is our motto.
