ONE OF MEN IN AUTO THROWN

Herrin Suffers Considerably From
Shock And Bruises, But Will
Get to Court.
CLICK GOOD WITNESS FOR ROGERS

The auto collision with the city
sweeper at 2 o'clock Friday morning
on West Pine street, near the Gordon
creek bridge, may result in stricter
enforcement of the speed laws of the
city Mayor Rich will hear the case
! against Rogers in the police court
Nonday morning-if Herrin, the in
4Jured city employe, is able to appear
FEhe report of the accident in The
News Friday brought forth many COM
ments Yesterday and today with nu-
merous accounts of close escapes on
the part Of various parties.
Thrown From Machine.
That Rogers, the driver of the auto,
was not injured, seems strange. Ben
Click, employed at Herlong's garage,
was riding with Rogers on the front
seat. When the auto crashed into the
street sweeper, Click was thrown into
the air, the bridge of his nose strik-
wind shield. Click fell to one side,
landing fortunately on his feet. For
a moment he was stunned and hardly
realized where he was. His temple
and face were bruised in several
places.
Rogers had shut off his engine
and we We're rolling down West Pine
said Click today. Il should say at a
rate of not over 10 miles an hour.
"No! our front light was not burn
pg, but our side lights were clear. 1t
Sas very foggy and we had planned to
light the front or headlight when we
reached the next street arc light.
Not One Warning.
"Herrin is mistaken about calling tc
us. The first thing | knew of the
presence of any obstruction was when
was sent into the air by the collision
When | came to, | couldn't tell what
tbe dark object in the street was unit
| had examined it. There were nc
lights on the sweeper. You't dom
think anyone would want to run into
that death trap, do you? Why, man!
if | had not hit the wind shield,
would have been fired into the sweeper
and probably killed"
Click says there were no others II
the au,omobile. He also corrects th'
statement that a Graham auto charged
to carry Herrin to his home.
"a smith machine came up and Mr.
McNair put Herrin in,' said Click
NNhen We got to his home, McNai
Nsisted on paying the driver, Duncan
McLaurin. 1t was not one of Graham
machines, but had once belonged t.
him."

How To Carry Ones
VlauableS In Safety

Nowadays. when so many women are
travelling, the question Of a safe and
convenient way 10 carry money. pa
pers, etc. is a problem. The pocket
here described is one used by a woman
who has crossed the continent ten times,
and who has been abroad several times.
In It she has carried thousands of
dollars. and always safely and con-
veniently. At her recommendation. I,
too. tried the pockets, and now would
not be without them in any petticoat
that | own. for not only are they con-
about the city you want your hand
free. and vet desire to carry papers or
cards. says a writer in the Washing
ton Herald.
The pocket, which Is cut in any size
You like. is made of good strong cam
brio and is sewn to the petticoate about
six inches from the band. In this way
the pocket is always in your lap when
you sit, and you can occasionally put
your hand there TO see il the contents
are safe.
For an ordinary pocket cut a strip of
cambric six inches wide by twelve
inches long. Turn up the bottom. en-
velope fashion, and put a hem on the
top. The hem is to stay the button
holes. The top is cut pointed, or .simp-
ly turn the edges to pointed shape,
which makes 1t stronger.
On the first turn make three button
holes and one IN the flap. Sew the
pocket up at the edges to form an en-
on the petticoat on three sides, not
only on the edges, but across the center
where the flap comes under the button
hole hem.

CHAPTER III.
At z a. m.

HER. REGINALD D M NJ o c x
M proved himself. despite his cX-
N treme youth, to be a man CT
the world and of experiences,
and a practiced talker
Conversation between him and Nella
Racksole seemed never tC flag. They
chartered about st. Petersburg and tie
ice on the Neva, and the tenor at the
opera who had been eXiled to Siberia,
and the quality of Russian tea, and the
sweetness OF Russian champagne, and
various other aspects of Muscovite ex-
iStenCe.
Russia exhausted, Nella lightly out
lined her own dOin%s since she had met
the Young man in the CZar's capital
and this recital brought the topic around
10 London, where it stayed till the final
piece OF steak was eaten.
Theodore RaCksole noticed that Mr..

Naphtha House Cleaning

says Maria Parloa, Is by the use Of
naptha. open all the windows in the
COON. Shake and examine ali the bed
ding. Hang out sheets, blankets. and
so forth. Saturate the mattresses and
pillows with naptha and put them out
of doors II possible. Brush the walls
Of the room, not leaving a particle
OF dust in crack. groove, or corner.
Sweep the floor or carpet, II there is
me.
Take the bedstead apart and lay
;he parts on the floor, the groOved
sides up. Saturate all the joints and
grooves with naptha. Wet the car
pet with the naptha. If there are
any cracks or breaks in wall or floor,
room. locking the door, that no one
may enter until all the gas has passed
of. A few hours will answer. but
where naptha is used in large quanti-
ties 1t is safer to keep the windows
open and TIE door shut the greater
part of the day.
This application of naptha will kill
all the living insects that II comes in
contact with, but. not the eggs. In
three or four days repeat the opera
unless the insects are in the wall, where
the naptha cannot reach them.
AUTION-Remember that there is
great danger if fire or light is allowed
in the room while the work is being
done, or for hours after, while the in
aamable gas is in the room. On the
other hand, there Is not a particle of
danger II these directions are cara
fully followed. The advantages of the
naptha over all other remedies Is that
Il is not injurious to any finish, fabric
or color. 1t leaves everything cleaner

Many Ways For
Using the Quill

A lace quill shown is of cream-coI-
ored chantilly shirred along a central
vein and again in double rows on the
outer edges. Tiny silk rosebuds en-
phasize the long shape
The straw quill is an excellent way
to use the little piece Of straw braid
that has been left from making the
shape over a frame. 1t can be shaped
over thin buckram or scrim, and each
surface should be covered with straw.
Velvet Is another form that the quill
takes In this summers millinery. 1t
can be pleated SO that the folds radi-
ate from the long central vein. back
ing of satin is the neatest finish for
this type of quill.
II you are a members of the Audu-
bon Society these hints should appeal to
you: Indeed. in many respects the
made quill is more lovely than the ma
tural one. At least you can determine
the shape. color and general character
and decide upon them by a ship Of the
scissors and a clever manipulation of
the needle.
