Collision on 9th Av. Line
MotOrman's Fault, In
terborough Declares.
FERRYBOATS BUMP
IN HEAVY FOG
Ten Passengers Injured,
Five Taken to Hospital
Bridge Trains Collide.

Fog, the heaviest of the winter,
which completely enveloped Greater
New York yesterday morning, was re-
sponsiblc for three traffic accidents,
enc on the Ninth av. "L," another on
the Williamsburg Bridge and the third
a ferryboat crash at Astoria Each Of
these occurred at the height of the
morning rush hour. Twenty-Five per
sons were injured.
In the most serious Of these,
smash of a south-bound Ninth av'
train into a local-express which was
standing still at the 50th st. station,
wooden cars played an important part.
The rear car of the local-express and
the first car Of the local burst into
flames following the collision. Both
were badly burned before the Fire De-
partment reached them.
Ferryboats and railroad trains ran
far behind schedules because OF the
dense fog, and some of the former
took as long as half al hour to cross
the North River The trip is made
ordinarily in a quarter OF that time
This naturally caused a congestion in
the Hudson tunnels, leading from New
Jersey. East River bridges and the
subway from. Brooklyn were affected.
Two Lackawanna boats figured in col
lisions, but no one was injured.
Seven Hurt on a.
Seven persons were injured in the
Ninth sv. accident. which occurred at
S:22 a. m. Five more were hurt when
one B. r. T. train hit another on the
Williamsburg Bridge, and two labor
crs were burned by short circuit on
the IL" road at l53d st. and Eighth
av. In addition, ten persons were
treated by surgeons after the ferry

Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be
healthy. The digestive organs
Of children get out of order as
readily as do those of their
elders. and the result is equally
distressing. When the bowels
are clogged with an accumula-
ton Of refuse from the stomach
the child naturally becomes cross
and fretful from the discomfort,
and is often punished for tenn
per when medical attention is
really what is needed.
The next time your child Is
cross and unhappy, without ap-
parent reason, try giving it a
mild laxative. DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is a mild, pleas
ant tasting combination of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin.
and is especially recommended
for children because of it's free
dom from all opiate or narcotic
drugs and it's gentle action. I.
