'PINNED UNDER
CAR IN CREEK»
. AT w__u_.§0N PT.
Resident Of Shore Sec-
tion Escapes Serious
I n j u r y Avoiding
Children In Road
John McCullough. a resident of the
Wilson Point section. had a. narrow
escape from serious injury yesterday
afternoon. when a. Ford Suburban
that he was driving. ran off the Shell
road leading from the main road to
\Vilson Point and turned over. land-
ing in the creek. \Vith Mr McCol-
lough at. the time .of the accident
was a Japanese servant.
In trying to avoid two children
who were in the road. the car went
too near the edge of the road and
the dirt gave way letting the car
down off the bank. Mr. McCullough
was pinned underneath the car.
When Patrolman John Smith and
his family who were driving along
the \Vilson Point road, arrived on
the scene, the servant was trying to
lift the car from Mr. McCollough.
John Smith Jr.. and Dennis Laney
assisted and succeeded in fitting
Mr. McCoiloush out.
He was taken in Patrolman
Smith's car and was later trans-
ferred to the Nor-walk hospital where
he was treated. He was taken to his
home today after an x-ray had been
taken to determine'the extent of his
injuries. The Japanese servant was
uninjured.
Says Fumigation; ,_ .,
Is Not Necessary
STAMFORD. Conn.. May 19.—
Commlssioner Raymond D. Fear, of
Stamford. formerly connected with
the Health Department of Bridge-
port. has recommended to the Board
of Health changes in the method of
handling contagious diseases here.
which are a departure from methods
pregiling for years.
"In many cases," Dr. Fear told
the Board of Health. "fumigation is
a. waste of time and money. Here-
after, fumigation candles will not be
used in this department unless re-
quested by members of the house-
hold in which the case exists.
“Quarantine of all the members
of a household. whether in immune:
of non-immunes, where a case of
contagion exists. appears not to be
necessary. If a child already has
had the disease under consideration.
he cannot give it to a. schoolmate
simply because his bréther or sister
has it. Neither is it thought neces-
sary to exclude from school all chil-
dren in an apartment house where
I. case of major contagion exists.
If they are excluded from school.
they mingle. with other people in
the streets and frequent public
places."

She will be accompanied by the

By EVANGELINE BOOTH.
Commander of the Salvation Army.
I don't believe. as some people
seem to, that the modern girl. taken
by and large. is on the road to de-
struction. I believe that the ma-
Jority of ou‘r girls today in America
are a splendid type—splendid in
body. intellect and soul. People
say that the war changed them: it
has, but to a. very great extent, for
good. .
The World war brought tens of
thousands of young women and girls
to realize thatllfe is a. precious gift,
meant for something better than
passing enjoyment. Not only the
young women who worked in
France, but those who took up
men‘s tasks here at home did bur-
densome manual labor in order to
release men to fight—these have
learned lessons that will last. a life-
time. They have never gone back
to idleness. They discovered the re-
ward of service.
But. what: about the problem of
those girls who are. I am thankful
to believe, in the minority. the girls
whose poor little heads are full of
foolish ideas and little else—car-
rings, feathers. naked arms cigar-
ettes? First of all. I think that
the blame should be laid elsewhere.
not at the (girl's door. If fashions
are foolish or vulgar. who
fashions? Not the girl herself,
but her elders. A stile is created.
and the girl takes it up. She merc-
ly follows.
I think America should try to be
a. bit more refined—to do away with
vulgarity in dress and manner. I
feel that ciragettes are unwomanly.
and I wish that slang might. be pro-
hibited altogether.
For the most part, I believe our
modern girls are no menace to the
future as they are so often painted.
Rather: I believe they are a. fine
promise for America. The girl is the
hope of the nation. of the world:
she is the mother of the future. And
for the future of America. we need
have no fear.

Won’t Annul Marriage

ment of his marriage to Lucy Salter

dismussed the complaint entered by

"There is no evidence of the first
count. that. duress was used. and the
second count. that there was no
consent to the marriage by parent

this case is one which provides a

\V’ASHINGTON, May 19.—Presi-
dent Coolidge was expected to re-
turn to his office today, having al-
most recovered from the bronchial
cold which kept him confined to his
room in the executive mansion Sat.-
urday and Sunday.
The two days of almost complete
rest have enabled the President to
throw off the cold and except for a
slight weakness he is said to be fit
to return to work.
Mr.’Coolidge spent yesterday in
his room. reading and resting. The
second successive day of relative in-
action made him restless. however.
and late yesterday he sent a. mes-
senger over. to the executive offices
with an inquiry as to whether there
was any work that he could do. A
batch of letters. reports and a num-
ber of telegrams were sent over to
him.
By remaining indoors yesterday.
Mr. Coolidge broke a. record of
which he was proud—4h” of not
having missed attendance at church
a single Sunday since he came to
Washington to be sworn in as vice-
president in March, 1921. Mrs.
Coolidge also remained at home yes-
