...when Ellen Moore, 22, a pretty young housewife, headed for the Child Welfare Clinic in the bleak Northumberland mining town of Wallsend. Two months pregnant, she had her 16-month-old firstborn, Paul, in his pram. As a truck carrying a load of tree trunks took a nearby corner, one of the lashings parted. A soft, log struck Mrs. Moore a glancing blow on the head, and she fell unconscious...
...gallon pressure water tank that squirts water 25 ft. The Charles Wm. Doepke Mfg. Co. has an electric locomotive, "The Yardbird" ($225), that can transport a young engineer from room to room on an eight-inch gauge track. F.A.O.

Yale, still smarting from eight defeats in the last nine games with Princeton, buried the previously unbeaten Tigers 42-20, assured itself at least a tie for the Ivy League championship. Iowa's Hawkeyes hung on to a thin 6-0 lead over Ohio State, edged up on the Big Ten title and copped their tickets to the Rose Bowl. Michigan State dropped out of the Big Ten title scramble by losing to Minnesota, 14-13. Oregon State just managed to squeak past Idaho...
