A Collision That Might Have Been
Worse

DR.. w. M. Mccoy of Wenatchee,
one Of the leading practitioners in the
medical fraternity Of that city was a
visitor here Sunday. In speaking Of
his auto accident OF about ten days
ago the marks of which the doctor
still carries, he says it was about the
luckiest thing in his life that he wasn't
killed. AS it was he was rendered un-
conscious for more than twelve hours
by being struck in the head by fly
ing peach box which drove one of the
lenses of his glasses into his cheek.
Lew Bowman who was in the rear seat
with the doctor was also badly bruised
up and very nearly scalped by peach
box. The strangest thing Of all was
that Jene Courtway the chauffeur es-
capped without an injury.
Mrs. and Mrs. Gillette who were
in the wagon were hurled thru the
air a distance of nearly thirty feet but
fortunately they suffered only minor
bruises.
In all the doctor will have to pay
about $500 by the time he gets his
car repaired again and pays the man
for his wagon and load of peaches, but
this is easy he says when you think OF
what might have been the result.
Less than a month ago DR.. Mccoy
saved the life Of this same man, Mr..
Gillette when he was overcome by OBJ
noxious gases and apparently cold in
death by putting into use his oxygen
tank, the only one in that city. MI.
Gillette was SO grateful to the doctor
that he refused to hold out for dam
ages, asking only that the things de-
stroyed be replaced.
DR.. Mccoy says he has learned
lesson and will never again drive his
car faster than four miles an hour, un'
less it is a case of life and death.

The Paving LmbrogliO

The paving injunction which had
been applied for and was heard in
Wenatchee last week and refused, will
come up again on a motion for re-
hearing, which is a necessary step in
appeal to a higher court. The case
will probably go to the supreme court
for final adjustment. In the mean
time the paving goes steadily on and
will be completed before the appeal is
perfected. Who is going to lose in
the final outcome can not be told at
this time, but in any event the town
will have some paved streets.

SouthsIde Road Nearly Completed

Contractor A. E. Weiland of the
Columbia Engineering Co., reports that
work on the south side road is nearing
completion and that within another
month he expects to finish the work.
Crushed rock has been spread over two
and half miles of the road and it is
now being gone over with steam roll
Ter. One and half miles is yet to be
completed. When finished the short
strips of road between this city and Pc
shastin will be the best in the country
and as the main thoroughfares between
here and Wenatchee are now being
sprinkled it will result in much auto
traffic through here during the summer
months.
The building of the south side road
was first advocated by this paper five
years ago on the ground that it would
be a shorter route to the Peshastin val
ley and could be built on water line
grade eliminating the steep grades on
the old road. When the road is COM
pleted the greater portion of the people
residing in the upper end of the valley
will come to this city to market their
products and do their trading instead
Of going to Cashmere as they have done
in the past.

Otto Weis, the famous German come
dian and accordion player, is a feature
that will command more attention than
any one who has been seen here in
the past. Mr.. Weis, in his illustrated
songs of all nations, and rendering his
own music on the famous German ac-
Gordon that he used As an entertainer
of royalty, is one of the most novel,
pleasing and high-class musical enter
tainers that has ever made tour in
the United States. The lady violinisi
is another pleasing feature OF the bill
of which the people never tire, and
her rendition of the different numbers
is high class and of artistic excellence.

Engineer Roberts improving

DR.. Hoxsey, who was in Wenatchet
the first Of the week, called at the hos
pital to see Mr.. Roberts and found
him improving but not out Of danger
The doctor says if he gets well it vii
be a miracle. His injury was to the
spine and may result in fatal complica
tions almost any time.

An unusually large crowd turned out
Monday evening to hear Miss Anna
Maley, the socialist candidate for gov

for over two hours and made it evi-
dent that she had devoted much time
TO the study Of her subject.

After the adjournment of the elev-
 erth biennial convention of the Gen.
 eral Federation of Women's Clubs a
 meeting of the new board of direc-
 tors was called by the new president,
 Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker The
 meeting was in accordance with the
 usual practice in the General Federa-
 ton, the incoming president taking
 advantage of the circumstance of all
 of the members of her board being
 i'll the same place at the same time
 to start the work before great dis
 tances separate them The work ac-
 complished was entirely routine con- corning chiefly the recommendations
 Of the outgoing board to the incom-
 ing. These recommenda tions related
 tc the work of the federation in it's
 several departments and each was carefully considered before being acted upon. An outline of the ac- tivity expected of each member dur ing the two years of her office was definitely stated. and with the clos ing up of the work of the old board that of the new was started
 With reference to the future fed eration work, Mrs. Pennybacker gave out the following statement:
 The new administration believes that it will be both pleasure and privilege to emulate the examples of the administrations that have gone before in developing the various lines of work for which the general fed eration was founded. We hope that l the same sense of justice may char acterize our two years that has mark ed the twenty three years of the fed eration's existence.
 In listening to the deliberations of the convention just closed the

Little of a social nature can be recorded to the credit of the smart set which does not indicate that there was a suspension of activity but merely that it's activity was ac- centuated For the days picnic on the desert or the week end at Iron Springs developed into fortnight at the Grand Canyon or more lengthy stay on the coast. The coming six weeks will tell of departures with an occasional informal affair given hy the faithful few who remain and will not permit a summer of bore dom. The swimming parties at Joint Head Dam for instance are not to be called off even if a member of the coterie that enjoys this pastime week Iy is out of town When one con- siders there are still many here who will remain and who will continue to hold picnic suppers. do the picture shows or any other perfectly jolly and informal thing of which they happen to think. After all, who cares in summer?

 Ever since Mrs. Belmont's influence and financial aid brought the offices of the National Suffrage association to New York two years ago, she has felt that New York, the most active state now at work for suffrage, should lend further inspiration to the states merely lukewarm on the sub ject.
 Speaking of suffrage, society seems to take very little interest in the subject A prominent young matron yesterday expressed the attitude of the smart set when she said, We're really indifferent, don't you know not even caring enough to be anti-suf- fragettes, who, as some one said, are ladies in politics trying to keep other ladies out g

There is in Denver at present Mrs. Mary A. Harper, sixty seven years old, who ayers that she has discov- cred the fountain of perpetual youth. Mrs. Harper is said to look as young as one half her age; to be bright and vivacious and to have eyes as clear as those of a girl. She is being much sought after by society and can one marvel at the lionizing when Mrs. Harper tells them such delight ful things as that Tt is q WOman's fault if she becomes feeble and un- attractive at sixty" and "A woman at fifty should be more attractive than her younger rival" and. "A wO- man of 200 pounds can fade into string bean proportions and become as delicate as a flower if she so chooses?
 Her system is the mental and physical reconstruction Says Mrs. Harper: Tt is the natural science of mind and body culture It shows the way to ward off old age and to cheat Father Time. No, it is not physical training. It is scientific development that turns physical cul- ture theories upside down. By the system men and women gain self con- trol and become preservatiVe instead Of consuming their energies. It pre- serves forever the nervous system and keeps women youthful and beau tiful regardless of their years.
 
 Mrs. John H. Page, admittedly one of the most beautiful young matrons of the smart set, is looking more charming than usual this spring. She has some particularly pretty frocks but one which is perhaps the most becoming is chic pink linen. It is q street gown. the severely tailored lines being relieved by embroidery that, in graceful design. ornaments the bodice and right side of the skirt With this she wears a large pink straw hat wreathed in roses of the same shade against flat ruche | Of tulle
