Accident To AerOplape
 DeIayS Trial Flight
Inventor Odum Downcast Because He Will Not Be Able to Try His Machine Until Tomorrow-Propeller
 Shank Bent Late Last Night.

early tomorrow morning. We tried the engines in the shed during the evening and everything was working perfectly. loosened screw thread, however, caused one of the propellers to defect in it's course and striking the edge of the plane the steel shank of the propeller was bent. It will take some time to repair 1t
 No ones disappointment at this first accident could be greater than mine, but 1t may be best that it happened in the shed instead of later. I was so delighted with the way the machinery was work ing. Why when we started those pro- pellers we almost blew the windows out of that shed. The power is enormous and was a delight to see. l even had the chains on the ground wheels adjusted and the aeroplane was ready to roll away. and now this little bent shank will delay me for at least 24 hours. I hope my friends will bear with me for their dis appointment cannot possibly be as great as mine.'

Men Jump and Save Lives But the Engine Is Turned
 Over
FIREMEN CLAIM THAT THE
 GREEN SIGNAL WAS GIVEN
Rear Wheels Were Struck and Wrecked and Fire Engine Rolled Over While Making Dash
 for Fire.

The old Birmingham Belt railroad crossing at Nineteenth street and Tenth avenue, north, was the scene yesterday afternoon of what might have proven an other fatal grade-crossing accident, and 1t is considered little less than a miracle that the engine company on the steamer from No. station of the fire department escaped death serious injury.
 The steamer. which is stationed on the North Highlands, Marshall avenue and Nineteenth street, was struck by switch engine about o'clock and was turned over on its side. The front of the loco motive caught the rear wheels of the steamer and broke them so badly that they will be of no further use The steamer on striking the ground was con sideraby scratched up on one side, but otherwise it was not injured. The com- pany of men on the piece of apparatus. realized that an accident was impend- ing early enough to jump and save them- selves. The steamer having been drawn nearly across the track before the switch engine struck 1t is probably all that saved the horses from serious injury.
 The steamer from the North Highlands station was making run to a fire and when the crossing was approached, after run down the long Nineteenth street hill, the driver checked the horses in or der to receive the 1agman's signal to go ahead, and it Is said that the green flag was put out However, the switch engine and the fire steamer reached the crossing at the same time and the loco motive struck the rear-end of the steamer just as it was about to clear the cross ing.
 The incident of yesterday afternoon Is only another example of the always im- pending danger at grade crossings which question was so strongly agitated here some time ago. and yesterdays acc.>ent will probably resuscitate the old cry against such crossings.
 It required more than an hour to set the wrecked steamer in an upright posi- ton yesterday afternoon and while the fire laddies were busled with the engine a crowd of several hundred people gath cred, The gathering became so dense, many people on their way home stop ping that it was necessary to have po- lcemen clear the street.
 The little affair of yesterday was not the first which has occurred at the Tenth avenue crossing. Street cars have been struck there several times, and in one or two cases the collisions resulted in the loss of human lives. Yesterdays acci dent is somewhat unexplainabe flag man is stationed at the Belt crossing and apparently there is no reason why the collision between the locomotive and the fire steamer should have occurred.

E. T. Odom, inventor and builder of the only aeroplane in the south, was heart broken as the result of an accident last night which will make necessary post ponement of his arial flight which was scheduled for today at the State Fair Grounds. MT. Odom states that 1t will require at least a day to repair the ac- cident to the propeller and that he hopes to be able to make trial tomorrow.
 Tt may have been fortunate" said MT Odom in discussing the accident last night, that 1t happened when it did, but that does not lessen my disappoint- ment in not being able to make trial on Wednesday as I had intended and as promised the fair management that I would do.
 The accident was to one of the pro- peller blades and happened in the shed after 10 o'clock tonight. We had gotten everything ready Every part had been adjusted and was in position and we were ready to take the car out of the shed

SCALP |TCHED AND
 BURNED FOR YEARS
Child of Four Would Scratch Her Head for Hours When Fifteen It Got Worse Hair Came Off in Spots - Hundreds of Dollars Spent in Vain Cuticura Soothed Like Cold Water on a Burn and
CUTICURA REMEDIES
 CURED HER AT LAST

When I was four years old humor came out on my scalp. It would make a thick scab in one night, itching and burning terribly. My father spent many hundreds of dollars trying to find a doctor who could cure this humor, but none of them could ever help 1t even little bit. At the age of fifteen years l had the measles, and after that the sore became maturated and had to soak my hair out before could comb 1t. My hair came of in spots and my head was in bad shape.
 About this time friend of my father suggested he try Cuticura for me. My father took this advice and bought the Cutioura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. I used them faithfully and to my surprise they stopped the itching at once, like cold water to a burn. In week my head was clean from the scab but was very red and inf1amed but I had experienced more relief from the terrible itching and burning than ever before. 1 did not ex- pect to be cured, as thought that noth- ing could do that, but had to use some tmng all the time and Cuticura was cheaper than doctors.
 After some time, to my surprise, I awoke to the fact that my head was cured. It was as free from the disease as though l had never suffered. I am now forty-two and have never had any sign of my old trouble since l was cured. 1 owe health, happiness and life to Cuticura. Every one thought it was in- curable. I used to dream sometimes that was cured but thought it never could be. but Cuticura made the dream come true. Fancy child sitting up in bed until ten or eleven o'clock scratch ing her head l couldn't help it either, the itching was SO terrible, night and day. It is wonder lived through it. but can prove all have written by my old neighbors. Mrs. Florence E. Ames 9etchell. Box 503, Hallowell, Me, Feb. g and IS, 1909"
