Jury Grants VIM. Vesper $342 for Be-
ing Hurt by VIM. Gordon.

In the first suit for damages for an
automobile accident in the district
court, William Vesper. farmer
thrown from his buggy on the West
Sixth street drive by William Gordon,
grocer, was awarded $342.75 by
jury last night.
The accident occurred on the even
ing of July IL, 1909, when the farmer
left his farm near the city to drive in.
The machine struck his rig from the
rear tossing it into the ditch, while
his horse ran and jumped over
hedge fence out of danger. Vesper by
hanging onto the reins was dragged
from in front of the automobile
wheels. Injuries to one of his should
ers was severe enough to keep him
ont of his fields for three months. For
hired help made necessary and for
doctor bills, he recovered. Punitive
damages were denied as the accident
was caused rather by inexperience
than recklessness. The total amount
asked was $1,236.50.

discovered the glide.
Many of Hamilton's friends have
predicted that he will use this glide
once too often and this prophecy came
near fulhllment at Seattle a few
months ago. The aviator was flying
over Lake Washington, when he de-
clded to glide down to the surface of
the lake, skim along like a skipping
stone for a few rods and then go up
again. He came down all right. but
ne miscalculated his distance and
plunged into the lake. But again his
marvelously cool head had saved him.
He mad climbed to the top of the ma
chine when he saw the inevitable.

WOMEN IN WAR
ON TUBERCULOSIS
OVER A MILLION ARE NOW UNIT.
ED TO FIGHT CONSUMPTION IN
ITS EVERY FORM IN EVERY
STATE IN THE uNloN-WoRK
ACCOMPLISHED IN FOUR YEARS.

What women have done in the last
four years in the campaign against
tuberculosis, Is discussed in an inter-
esting report issued by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis.
Four years ago the only active wOm-
en- workers in the anti tuberculosis
movement were a little group of about
thirty women's clubs. Today 100000
women under the Health Department
of the General Federation of Women
Clubs in every state and territory of
the United States are banded together
against this disease, and more than
1000 clubs are taking a special inter-
est in the crusade. Not less than
100000 is raised annually by them for
tuberculosis work, besides millions that
are secured though their efforts in
state and municipal appropriations
Mrs. Rufus P. Williams is the chair
man of the department that directs
this work
In addition to the work of the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs, The
Public Health Education Committee Of
the American Medical association,
composed largely of women physicians
has carried on an educational cam
paign of lectures during the past year
In which thousands have been reached.
The Mothers Congress, the Young
Womer's Christian Association, and
many unattached clubs bring the num-
Der of women united in the tubercu-
losis war to well over a million. There
Is not state in the union where some
work has not been done.
Through the activity Of women. SAN
atoria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling Libraries have been circulated,
posters, circulars and other kinds Of
literature have been distributed to the
number Of millions of pieces; thou
sands Of lectures have been given,
large sums of money have been Sc
cured hundreds of needy cases have
been helped; tuberculosis work has
been started in many communities
where no movement had existed and
millions of women have learned the
dangers and methods of prevention of
tuberculosis.
The work of the women extend from
the drawing room of the rich to the
