Cora L. Draheim, 14, nursemaid, saved Gordon M. Law, 2, from being killed by an automobile, Portland, Oregon, July 12, 1917. Gordon was in a small wagon at the side of a road when a man driving an automobile turned to avoid a collision with another automobile and headed toward Gordon. When the automobile was 20 feet from Gordon and approaching at a speed of not less than 20 m.p.h., Cora ran six feet to him from a sheltered position, lifted him, and as she turned to put him down out of the path of the automobile was struck and knocked senseless. Gordon was stunned but sustained only a slight bruise. Cora received injuries that disabled her eight weeks. 18753-1591
