Accidents FOLLOW
father AND son
Robert S. and James R.
Wilson Pretty Badly
Broken Up in MiShaps
MRS. WILSON MAKES
GOOD AS NURSE

Robert S. Wilson and his son,
James r. Wilson. OF No. 10s Concord
avenue have sustained a series Of
bodily injuries during their lives
that do not usually fall 10 the LOT Of
men. Mr.. Wilson. senior. has had
nearly every bone in-his body broken.
while an experience nearly as bad
has been that OF his son. Despite
what they have been through, both
men are enjoying good health and
work every day.
Robert s. Wilson is So years old.
His misfortunes began while he was
boy. During these early days he
sustained series OF minor acci-
dents. Later. while working as a
bridge builder at Wheeling, w. Va.
he fell and broke both legs. an arm,
his collar bone and six ribs.
After spending eighteen months In
the hospital. Mr.. Wilson went to
work at bridge building again. But
his III fortune followed him. He
broke his collar bone and both legs
once more and also the arm that had
escaped unscathed in the FIRST fall.
IN addition 20 these grave injuries
Mr.. Wilson has suffered minor
sprains and bruises during his life
which would have seemed appalling
TO an ordinary man, but 10 which he
has paid slight heed.
After a time Mr.. Wilson gave up
bridge building and became a rig
ger. Then while working for the
Joseph Bancroft & Sons Company
his hand was caught In a machine
and was so badly injured that il
had to be amputated. Since then he
has not had any serious accidents.
The experiences OF the son have
been nearly as thrilling. While work
ing for his half brother. J. V. Dean.
on the roof OF the house belonging
70 Mrs. Francis DUPONT, at Henry
Clay, he fell forty feet 20 the ground.
and although no bones we're broken
his body was one mass Of bruises.
Some OF these bruises may be per
manent A sprain in the back has
proved particularly troublesome. Pre-
vious TO this James had fallen from a
one story roof. but escaped un-
scathed.
When Mrs. Wilson was asked
whether she had had any accidents.
she said:
''No. thank goodness, for II seems
as IL I was left alone to take care
of the others when anything hap
pcned to them.r

Wall Street today. Steel. oil and
motor stocks have been leaders in
the wild rush Of speculation which
recorded one million share day after
another and sent prices 20 new high

The boom started in the Morgan

United States Steel climbed to a
record OF 10z a share. General Motors

slightly under that figure today. On

Il Is on the curb that the little
