Al Livingstone, King of Dirt

Atlanta.
WAS MAKING TRIAL SPIN
Tire Blew Up While Running 75
Miles an Hour and He Was
Thrown 20 Feet in Air.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 2.-Going at
the rate of rs miles an hour. just
after completing a lap of the Atlanta
speedway track in an effort to beat
the record made by his teammate,
Wilcox. AL Livingstone, one of the
best known auto drivers in the coun-
try. was thrown from his car %
feet in the air when the right rear
tire punctured, and died at the
Grady hospital at 1880 last night.
The accident occurred late in the
afternoon and after all the drivers
had been warned off the track. The
men in the National pit had been

joking Livingstone over the fact that
Wilcox had made a better lap
than he.
Starts on Death Race.
Determined to beat the record
Livingstone asked permission to
make two laps of the Atlanta speed
way. The request was granted by
the secretary of the local associa-
ton and Livingstone started.
The first lap was made in moder-
ate time-but by the time the second
began Livingstone was fairly flying,
getting every ounce of pressure pos
sible out of the stock car he was
driving.
Completing the lap, for which he
had been given permission, he sped
on without stopping. and a quarter
of mile beyond the grand stand.
just on the south curve, the right
rear tire popped and Livingstone was
thrown high in the air.
His car swerved around, complet-
ing a complete circle of the tracks,
finally facing the way it was going
when the accident occurred. The
front right wheel was punctured and
the rear right wheel was ground al
most to pieces where it hit the re-
enforced fence.
Skull CaVed In.
Livingstone was unconscious. with
the front part of his skull caved in,
and a fracture at the base in addi-
ton, it is believed. Rushed to the
hospital, doctors there stated he had
only the barest chance for life.
He was known as the dirt track
king. For years he had raced on
the Pacific coast, claiming Los An
geles as his home. Last year he
was requisitioned by the Chicago
branch of the National and entered
in the Elgin races. He won the first
race for the Little cars and came
in second in the second race, Ralph
Milford winning by a narrow mar
gin.
His wife and sisters were with him
at the hospital when he died.

:SCPOFULA
HEREDITARY BLOOD p0TSGK

Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by a swelling and liberation
of the glands, especially about tie
neck. 1t is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage of outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofula. It is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
circulation. S. S. S., in addition %

The committee will hold another meeting
today
Several important changes i'm the bill
