Accidental head injury heals slowly for farmer's son
A four year old boy, child of Louis Harrison of a Davenport-area farm, was struck by a pitchfork while his father cleaned out a barn. The tine penetrated the skull above the left ear, leaving the child unconscious with paralysis on the right side though expected to live. The incident occurred as the fork was tossed from a doorway and the boy ran across.

A Melbourne dispatch in the Sydney Herald reports severe limits on safety matches in Australia due to wartime disruptions. Prices have surged about 133 percent, and authorities urge careful consumption to avert actual shortages. The cause is linked to an England regulation forcing a factory near the Thames estuary to emit no lights at eight, cutting output well below normal.
