TWO J|TNEYS HI NEGROES WITHIN AN HOURS TIME Boy Killed on Twentieth Street and Avenue C
 During Afternoon AGED NEGRO STRUCK
 ON FIRST AVENUE D. H. Bailey Is Put Under Arrest, But on Statement of Witnesses Is
 Allowed to Continue Running Car

Two automobile accidents. one of which proved fatal, occurred in the downtown section of the city yesterday afternoon within an hour of each other, both result ing from negro pedestrians being run down by jitney cars
 The first accident occurred about 2:si at First avenue and Nineteenth street when a car driven by A. ] Hardy. whose residence is 21oa Avenue II. struck an aged negro named Warren Carter Garter was immediately removed to the Hil1man hospital, but his injuries proved slight and an early recovery is expected by spital attendants. No arrest was made Officer Ray. who handled the case, gave 1t as his opinion that the injured man was somewhat irresponsible al the time of the accident.
 The second accident occurred shortly after 3 o'clock at the corner of Avenue end Twentieth street. when James Pow CTS, q negro boy about Il years old, was run down and fatally injured by a five passenger motor car, driven by D. Il Bailey. At the time of the accident there were two passengers in the car, one being lady and the other W. A. Watts whose residence is 2s16 Twelfth avenue north
 According to MT. Watts the car was going south at moderate speed, when the boy who was playing with several othei children ran unexpectedly from the side walk in front of the car. The car passed over the body, fraeturing the skull ano infiicting internal injuries.
 MT. Watts said "rhe car was immedi- ately brought to u halt diseharging the lady passenger The driver then placing the wounded boy in the ear took him tt the Hillman hospital I accompanied Mr Bailey on his trip to the hospital where the boy died within few minutes.
 ''Railey then proceeded to police head quarters where he gave himself over to the authorities. I was in a position to observe closely all the circumstances of the accident, and in my opinion the con duct of the driver was all that could be desired. I suppose the car was going between 10 and F miles an hour at the time of the accident and was near the sidewalk and when the boy ran care lessly from the sidewalk immediately be- fore the car believe it would have been impossible to have made a stop before striking him.
 Bailey was placed under a $500 bond al police headquarters and summoned to ap' psar at the coroners inquest, which WI be held Tuesday morning at 9:30. Upof the approval of Coroner Spain, who mada a. preliminary examination of the cir cunstances of the accident, Chief Egar stated that he would permit the Jitne, driver to continue to operate his car un til further notice.

 Largest Crowds Yesterday . The crowds on the downtown streets yesterday without doubt were the largest of the week. It seems there has been a steady gain in the size of the crowds and the interest in Fashion Week, and ths volume of business since the first day of the week. Each succeeding day has out stripped the predecessor and on this scale together with the fact that Saturday al ways is the best shopping day of the week anyhow, today is expected to break all records
 Rebate Office Busy ginning to come into the rebate office from all parts of the country, several appearing yesterday from adjoining states to Alabama. Secretary Sam Fowlkes states that he really expects a larger re- bate business next week through the mails than this week. as the majority of the out-of-town shoppers are in the habit of sending their rebate books back to the office by mail
 In spite of the indications of bad weather for the annual spring fashion show, 1t appears that the whole week vii go on the records as one of the most favorable possible. The officials of the Business Mems league and the merchants are delighted.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruf completely and
that is to dissolve it. This destroys it
entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain. ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips,
BY morning most, if not all, of your
dandruf will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy. every single
sign and trace OF il, no matter how
much dandruil you may have.
Nou will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly.
and your hair win be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you win need This simple
remedy has never been known TO fail.

SAGE and SULPHUR
DARKENS CRAY HAIR
It's GrandmOther's Recipe TO Restore
Color. Gloss and Thickness.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when il fades. turns gray, dun and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women ard men
who value that even color that
beautiful dark shade of hair which is
so attractive, use only this old-time
recipe.
Nowadays We get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a 80 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound which darkens
the hair so naturally. so evenly. that
nobody can possibly tell IL has been
applied. Besides. it takes off dand-
run. stops scalp itching and falling
hair. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with il and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur. is that besides beauti-
fully darkening the hair after few
applications. II also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives il an ap-
pearance Of abundance.
