Signals Cross, Two
Street Cars Crash

Four persons were injured and
80 were severely shaken last
evening when two Bismarck cleo
tric cars collided head-on at seth
and Mckinley avenue.
A Misunderstanding of sig
nails, and the fact that the in
bound car was a "tripper," sup
posed to be following closely a
regular car, caused the accident.
The vestibules of both cars were
wrecked.
The injured were Phil Wheel
er, motorman on the outbound
car; Miss Mabel Brewer, 11OS
East Goth street; F. Chapelle.
$50 East Gath street; and C.

Cured His RUPTURE

| was badly ruptured while lift
ing a trunk several years ago.
Doctors said my one hope of cure
was an operation. Trusses did
me no good. Finally | got hold
of something that quickly and
completely cured me. Years have
passed and the rupture has never
returned, although am doing
hard work as carpenter. There
was no operation, no lost time, no
trouble. | have nothing to sell,
but will give full information
about how you may find a COM
plete cure without operation, If
you write to me, Eugene Nj. Pull
len, Carpenter, 331B Marcellus

cut out this notice and show it
to any others who are ruptured-

stop the misery of rupture and
the worry and danger of an opera
ton.

hotel for the unemployed in the
old Emerson school will be aban-
doned II the petition presented
TO the school board yesterday by
six women residents of the dis
trict holds weight.
The petition was signed by Is
persons who resented the school
boards action in allowing the
building to be used for such a
purpose. They claim that 500
men of the type which will live
In the school will ruin the neigh
borhood.
President Ida McQuesten of the
board said that Waterman
would be on hand both day and
night. This led to an outburst
from one of the women who said
that she did not wish to live
among men who had to be watch
ed by a special man.
Men Move In.
Another woman declared that
she ran a rooming house and all
her tenants had threatened to
move unless the hotel was shut
up. The board deferred action.
About 100 men moved in the
building Tuesday and arrange
ments are being made for 400
more. Goodwin claims that only
men who work will be allowed to
stay in the hotel. He says they
are all gentlemen and will not
be a stigma on the district at all.

CLEARS COMPLEXION

Don't worry about skin trou-
bles. You can have clear, clean
complexion by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for
Zoe, or extra large bottle at
$1.00.
Zemo easily removes all traces
of pimples, black heads, eczema,
and ringworm and makes the skin
clear and healthy. Zemo is Meth
er watery, sticky nor greasy and
stains nothing. 1t is easily ap-
piled and costs mere rifle for
each application. 1t is always de-
pendable.

MAKES INQUIRY
CONCERNING
ROCK ASPHALT
A READY DEMAND FOR SOUTH
ERN OKLAHOMA ASPHALT FOR
ROAD BUILDING - BLAKE ASKS
FOR INFORMATION

C. o. Blake, of the law department
of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific Railway company of FL Reno, has
written to Colonel Sidney Suggs of
this city asking a few specific ques-
tions concerning rock asphalt and
Col. Suggs has made prompt reply
covering all the questions asked and
giving Mr.. Blake the information he
desires.
The one thing for which asphalt can
be used, and for which there is a
ready market is road building, and
when it is put to this use the mines
of southern Oklahoma will produce
enough of the material to pave every
highway in the state
The letter of Mr.. Blake follows:
Hon. Sidney Suggs, Ardmore, Okla
homa. My Dear Mr.. Suggs: l have
not heard anything about rock asphalt
for road building purposes for some
time, and as | know of no other per
son who is advised / am taking the
liberty of burdening you with the fol
lowing inquiry:
81. Is it practicable to use rock as
phalt for the surfacing of country
highways?
"2. What is the approximate cost
per mile, excluding charges for trans
portation, which must of course vary
with the locality
"3rd. Is there any one in position
to quarry and furnish rock asphalt in
the vicinity of Ardmore?
"a. At what price per yard, f. o. b.
can it be secured there?
81 should hardly venture to take the
liberty of asking you so many ques
tions, bat for the interest you have
shown in and the sacrifice that yot
have made for improved highways.
with continued regard, | am,
Every truly yours,
&c. o. BLAKE"
