will mark a year of triumph and the

was involved in a collision that shot
him through the roof of his car and
onto the tracks in front of an ap-
proaching freight train. He lay
quietly between the rails brooding
over his broken leg and bruises while
the train sped over him.
An apparently contented, milk-
drinking 15 month old baby put Mrs.
Edward Comfort of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
in a Virginia ditch. She was driving
along peacefully when her baby, se-
cure in its basket beside her, swung
its nursing bottle like a bludgeon,
scoring between the eyes. The dazed
mother let go the wheel and the car
overturned. Neither was injured.
Seventeen-months-old Larry Lin-
gle of Harrisburg, Pa., ended the year
in the red. He swallowed a nickel and
coughed up a penny.

Strikers Blame Leader as
Firm Closure Threatened
HOLLAND, Mich., Dec. 8-W)-
Truck drivers whose strike against
the Holland Motor Express Company
led to threats to close the firm today
blamed Tom Burke, international
representative of the teamsters' un-
ion, for their predicament and de-
manded he be recalled.
Morris G. Lanham, local represen-
tative of the union, said Burke called
the strike against the Holland firm
and "has put the express company
out of business and all of us out of a
job."

Bonner went hunting in his back
yard for a couple of domestic ducks.
He dropped the first one, as planned,
with a shot from his automatic pis-
tol. The second duck, having differ-
ent ideas, banked into his gun hand
and the slug struck the hunter in the
knee. The Duck? Still alive and
quacking.
Car Flags Train
Fate was a shade more gentle with
Mrs. Margaret Cook of Toledo, 0.
Her car blew a tire at a railroad
crossing and careened down the
tracks to greet an approaching
freight. However, her car snagged a
signal switch and threw a red block
against the train, automatically stop-
ping it.
Taxi driver Ethel Sheffield's car
also crossed her up and then tried to
right things. Her cab skidded into a
lamp post in Regina, Saskatchewan,
in 16 degree below zero weather last
January. She was knocked uncon-
scious by the impact, but the crash
set off a fire alarm box on the post
and firemen rescued her from possi-
ble death by freezing.
Dog Suicide Try Fails
It might have been an accident or
suicide pact, but a couple of Mari-
nette, Wis., dogs almost did them-
elves in with cooking gas. Miss Bette
Boren came home last March and
found a gas jet open and both ani-
mals unconscious. They haven't
tried it since.
Jesse Spitzer of Denver got run
,ver by a train the hard way and
lived to tell about it. His automobile
