Mrs. Kidd had parked the Buick Sedan in the driveway leading to the garage and the young fellow had begun playing on the front bumper. Mr. Kidd came home to his lunch and hod entered the house when he heard the boy scream. He hurried back to the scene and found the lit tle fellow lying on the ground where two wheels of the car had passed over his body. Physicians were hur- ridly summoned and it was found by an X-ray picture that several ribs had bee n broken and his skull frac tured. He was rushed immediately to thc Hospital where he is resting easy and his condition has shown little change.

Although the young fellow was seriously injured, hopes are en tertained by physicians that he will recover without complications. JOE ANDREWS GETS BIG JOB WITH NEW YORK COMPANY Tj. Joe T.
