The horn sounded steady blast, and though he hear it, his family did. The; Firecrackers sometimes take life. hot in one case in 1934 they saved it. Early on the morning of July 5 a motorist travelling a dark road nearl Kenosha, Wisconsin, found the high-j way suddenly lighted up by fire-‘ crackers, tossed frond a passing car. The glare outlined the form of a man, apparently dead, directly in his path. Jamming on his brakes he stopped in time to avoid running over Harold Ager, 25, of Kenosha, who was not dead, but unconscious after having been struck by a hit-and-rnn driver. James BrasWell, a 12-year-old Kan- sas City youth, fell under the wheels of a taxicab when he attempted to ‘V‘iloék” a ride. One wheel passed over his head and chest. He got up and skated home. r The prize escape of the year, how-‘ ever, occurred in France, where nine- year-old Henri Guyot fell in a field of wheat, was swallowed up in the flying machinery of a wheat binder and came out neatly bound in a bundle. There wasn’t a scratch on him. One man fell into a bathroom in 1934 and another fell out of one. Bert Phillips, Pittsburg, had his bath rudely interrupted when, amid ia shower of broken glass, a stranger dropped through the skylight into the tub beside him. Beulah Hopkins, In Lepseny, Hungary, Mrs. Mlhaly Kantor’s cat crept into the oven to find relief from the heat. Mrs. Kan- tor decided to do some baking and lighted the fire under the oven. Hear- ing cries of distress, she opened the oven door. A flame fireball, her fuI blazing, raced madly through the Edward Miles, sixâ€"yearâ€"old Indianâ€" apolis lad, played hide-and-seek with h's cat. No matter Where he hid his pet would find him. Suddenly Ed- ward spied the empty refrigerator in the kitchen and climbed in, shutting the door behind him. Outside the cat clawed the porcelain. Finally, the mother awoke, and amazed, at the cat’s antics opened the door. Edward had suffocated. Gary, Indiana, stepped on a cake 0; wet soap, skidded across the bath- room, shot out of an open window. dropped three storeys and plumped. unhurt, into a sandpile. A hitâ€"and-run dog was reported in Cleveland. His victim was Stephen Starla, 32, who received a serious back injury when the dog frightened by an oncoming car, leaped aga nst him and threw him to the sidewalk. Odd baseball accidents were few in 1934, but one occurred in Winnipeg. During a. fast double play a ball struck Harold Bossard, shortstop, and knocked him unconscious Then it ricocheted and struck Mrs. Douglas Nicholson, a spectator. Cupie, a Murphysboro, Illinois, bull- dog, killed himself. Left alone, he fumed on the gas jets in the kitchen range and- was asphyxiated befiore help arrived. And cats figured in some curious accidents. Dogs, by the way, figured in an un- usual number of 1934’s oddest, acciâ€" dents.

Minutes later, the house was in ashes. Harvey Pontius, Kendallxiille, Indi- ana, scratched a match on his trons. ers to light his pipe. The oilâ€"soaked- trousers burst into flames and were demol‘shed before the fire was ex- tinguished. A physician dressed his badly burned leg-s. Somewhat similar in embarrassing results was an industrial accident re- norted to the United States National Safety Council. A hose can'y‘ng oxygen and gas to the welding torch- “s lay or. the floor. A leak developed in the hose right Where the hero of "his story was working. With no respect for his privacy, gas quietly seeped right up his trouser leg. Suddenly, there was an explos- ion, and the trousers blew off. There was no injury except to the worker’s Feelings. Gilding Clarke, “iron man” of the British stage, died from a friendly slap on the back. Sudan Fidmui, Pal'isienne “human projectile,” gave up his dangerous stunt in 1933 at the age of 53 because he felt he was too old. He was. But friends insisted We perform once more last year and he agreed. He missed his net by 16 'nches and was kiilud. Joseph Pittis, New Philadelphia, Ohio, overturned in his car. More shaken than hurt, he crawled from ‘he wreckage and began compliment- ‘ng himself on his escape. Then he "aught the strains of a song from his dashboard radio set, still going despite the impact. It caroled con- solingly: “I’ll be glad when you’re lead, you rascal, you.” A southern Missourian, drove a rambling wreck of a car along the highway. It rattled and wheezed but kept going. There were no brakes' on the car and as the driver tried to‘ go around a curve. the car went through the fence and came to rest where it should have been all the timeâ€"in an auto junk yard! Justice was also meted out to the Wisconsin road-hog who, after weavâ€" ing through traffic for many miles to the intense disgust of other motorists, failed to make a turn. His car cata- pulted through a fence and came to rest in an adjoining field. ‘ The road hog wasn’t hurt much. As a matter of fact, he may haVe felt right at home when he opened his eyes and found himself mired in a lnice soft hog wallow. Henry Shafer, Eldora, Iowa, might well be called “The Iron Man of Many Mishap.” His 1934 accident consist- ed of a fall on an icy sidewalk which put him to bed with a broken hip. It is claimed that Shafer during his .3 years has been struck by lightning buried in a coal mine, fallen from a 1firth trestle, blown into the air by icannon, buried under two tons of hay, 1fallen 30 feet over a cliff, thrown Ifrom a wire fence, kicked by a horse, and fallen from a bob-sled with a. fractured sk‘ull resulting. Then he :ui-vived an attack of double pneu- monia at 80. a stroke of paralysis at 81, and bruises and broken bones in twa separate highway accidents in his 32nd year. Misfortune hit the Matt Beaver fam- ily. Logansport, Indiana, three times in one day. Dana, 23, was operated on for appendicitis; Otto, 20, suffered ‘hree broken 1‘7bs when kicked by a horse, and the home burned while "ho family was rushing Dana to the hospital. -‘ l Another golfer was struck by a fel- low player’s club which knocked his bridge work down his throat. Still another was ‘making some practice shots with a xiipe in his mouth. The shaft of the club crashed against the pipe, knock'ng' it back into his mouth and breaking out tWo teeth. Odd golf accidents were numerous, as usual. On-e golfer, whittling a ball to learn what was inside, found out to his sorrow. The ball exploded, scat- tering acid, which all but destroyed the sight of one eye. Another golfer made such a mighty sw'ng that he threw himself to the ground, landing with sufficient force to break a leg. A third after making a drive on the first tee, dashed to- ward a fence to sit down. He misl- judged the distance and injured his spine 'n the resulting fall. Dr. Aug’ust G. L. Rindler, Daven- port, Iowa, usually walked at, night for exercise because he feared auto- mobile traffic in the daytime. He was killed when struck by a hit-and- run driver shortly after midnight. In 16 years of blindness. E. A. Morga' Tyler, Texas, peanut vendor, waé never bothered by traffic. He sud- lenly gained his sight but he finds ‘10 m‘xsfi clnso his eyes now to cross ‘1’? “TN”: 01050 his eyes HOW E0 CL'OSS "he street. Andrew Pelton, New York, snapped his teeth at his dog’s nose in play. Bus’ter snapped back, and meant it, dosing his teeth on h‘s master’s nose. PI-‘Iton went to the hospital for treat- ment. SORE THROAT A common experience of life is to endure the pain and inconvenience caused by a. sore throat. All ages and both sexes are apt to suffer. The adult who has been smoking too much or who has neglected the simple rules of healthy living may, under such circumstances, find that his throat is sore. Sore throat may mean inflam- mation of the tonsils, pharynx or larynx. There is a constant incliâ€" nation to swallow. In the acute cases there is some fever, headache and general discomfort. As adults, we show no hesitation in complaining when our throats are sore, and as adults too we are very likely to forget that young children do not usually complain when their throats are sore. Yet it is the sore throat of a young child which is of real importance, because thfis may mark the onset of a serious condition. The sore throats of children are discovered by the doctor who, as a matter of routine, examines the throats of all children who come unâ€" der his care. Many inflamed throats subside and return to normal without any further trouble. Others are fol- lowed by complications as the acute inflammation spreads from throat to ear or bronchial tubes, leading “to a chronic inflammation unless properly treated. The two most important conditions which may follow upon sore throat in children are nephritis and rheu- matic fever. Nephritis comes prompt 1}; under medical care because it de- mands attention through the appear. ance of blood in the urine or the ‘puffiness of the face. Unfortunately, (rheumatic fever, in children, does not usually give rise to the acute joint pains which occur when it is an adult who is attacked by the disease. As a result, cam of rheumatic fever in children are not likely to come under medical care promptly. The danger which accompanies sore throat is not in proportion to the severity of the throat condition. The mildly-sore throat may mark the be- ginning of rheumatic fever which is so serious because of the damagn done to the heart in many cases. There is only one safe way to de? with these cases, and that is, first c 8.11, to find (mt the condition of (‘11 throat of any child who is unwe‘ If the throat is inflamed, the chi] should be isolated and kept in b' until his temperature is normal, an then watched, during the followinr month, to make certain that there ar- no complications.
