Dennie Neilsen, age four, of the Willow Rranch vicinity had a very close call last Friday, around 2:30 when he was run over by a truck driven by his mother, Mrs. Norma Neilsen. The accident occurred when Mrs. Neilsen was stopping on her way back from Willow Ranch at the Boss Harris place to picTt up the children she had left there to play. At his mother's approach Dennie got excited and ran out in front of the truck, now moving slowly to a stop. The boy made it across and seemed in the clear, so his mother thought, and she let the truck stop irradually. But the boy had de cided then to run back on the other side, and apparently had just started across again when the bumper knocked him down and the wheel ran over his left arm break ing it Just above the elbow. Aside from cuts and bruises on tne neaa and face, no other internal injuries were suffered by the boy. He was rushed to the hospital for treat ment.

On the evening of January 13, one news service was carrying the story that In Vermont a brilliant objtvt, at times definitely throwing oil sparks, was seen liaiuting In the early evening sky. Another service called me long distance for con firmation ot the report that a lumi nous body was falling toward the moon, would strike It In four hours and would then produce a spec tacular shower of meteors. The gorgeous planet Venus, now high In the southwest at siiiim-i, was doubtless the object causing the consternation. On that evening it was above the "thin slip ol a cres cent moon," which It gradually seemed to be approaching. The moon in its eastward orbital motion around the earth was lessening the apparent distance between the two, while both were slowly "falling'' toward the horlion. Alter they had set, the moon passed the planet. Although Venus is glorious in the wesern twilight for a few months about every l'a years, many who have lived through dozens ot such cycles do not upon a new appear ance recall that they have ever be fore seen such a blight star-like object. Talcs of a strange light in the heavens, possibly presaging the end of the world, then circulate freely. Those astronomically inclined who would like to point to the place in the sky known as the vernal equinox, may do so around February 11 if Venus Is In clear sky. lor the planet will be practically on that location then. It will be in the constellation The Fishes although in terms of "signs" this is still called the First of Aries. The brilliant planet Jupiter now dears the southeastern sky lint three hours before sunrise and be comes the brightest star-like object In the nmruiiiK heavens. Ily I lie time blight tlauit dissolves It Into the blue background. It has reached the south southeast. Red Mars ami yellow tin I mil still form an liiteiesllug curved line wuh the star Hcgulus. which Is dim mer than either ami between them. All have cleared the eastern homon by 7 p. m or shortly alter, with Mars, the lowest ol the three, no ticeably the brightest. The elusive Mercury Is now in Hie Westell) twilight, setting l' hours after the sun. It Is quite bright, considerably below and slightly to the right o( Venus. There Is no mis taking It for it is the only blight object besides Venus In that lo cality. This little planet mil be 111 sight for several eveiiliiKs yet. It will be recalled that Mercury Is the smallest of the tegular planets, having a diameter less than half that of the earth, and the near est ol any to the sun. It makes a trip around the sun In 88 days, dur ing must of which tuna It is ap parently so near the sun that It is invisible. Kl I.I.Kit CRKSCKNT CITY. Calif..
