AUTOMOBILES CRASH
ON BOISE STREET
Cars of Storey and Terrence
Collide at Twelfth and Sher-
man-Mrs. Storey Bruised
Storey Auto Damaged.

An automobile bearing license num-
8. j. Higgins, Letha, this state, and
alleged to have been driven by William
Terrence, crashed into a touring car in
which q. Storey of Caldwell and his
his wife were riding at 4 o'clock Tues
day afternoon at Twelfth and Sher-
man, hurled Mrs. Storey across the
car against the heavy body and
bruised her up considerably, and
smashed the Storey car right rear
door, crumpled up it's right fender
and tore it's running board off. The
car which struck the Storey auto was
not damaged
According to Mr.. Storey, he and his
wife were driving up Twelfth street,
headed north, in their Studebaxer six,
when Terrence was seen to be COM
ing at an estimated speed of 20 miles
per hour on Sherman street. There
appeared to be plenty of room for the
Terrence car to avoid striking the
Storey car, and Mr.. Storey kept on.
In second the Terrence car crashed
into him with great force, and he and
his wife narrowly escaped serious in
jury. According to Mr.. Storey, Mr..
Terrence took the number of the
Storey car and drove away.
Tuesday seemed to be an unlucky
day for Mr.. Terrence, he having been
struck by street car No. II, headed
north on Eighth street lat 11:15 a. M,
while he, Terrence, was driving up
Main. The car suffered no damage;
neither was Mr.. Terrence injured in
the collision.

side of a severe shaking up, she will
suffer no i'll consequences of the acct
dent. Mr.. Storey was unscratched.

NO EXAMINATION MADE
OF WATER OR COOKIES
GIVEN FOR ANALYSIS

Owing to the fact that an examina-
ton OF the fluid from the spinal COL
umn of Raymond Swanstedt, aged -,
who died Saturday, January 20, of
symptoms indicating poisoning, showed
that the boy died of spinal menegitis,
the state bacteriologist made no ex-
aminations of the water taken from
the plunge at the Natatorium or the
cookies or candy eaten by the boy
and his playmate, John w. Edwards
Jr., who died two days previous of
similar conditions.
While spinal meningitis is not a poi
son disease, according to the physl-
clans, Mr.. Swormstedt expressed re-
greet that the analysis was not made
for the reason that his son and the
other lad were the two out of three in
the party who swallowed an excessive
amount of the water and ate of the
cookies and candy purchased at a
nearby stand while their friend, Amos
Thompson, did not swallow any water
or eat any of the cookies purchased.

KIDNEYS NEVER
CAUSE BACKACHE
Rub Pain, Soreness and Stiff
ness Right Out With Old
"St. Jacobs Liniment"

Kidneys cause backache? No!
They have no nerves, therefore can
not cause pain. Listen! Your back
ache is caused by lumbago, sciatica
or a strain, and the quickest relief is
soothing, penetrating st Jacobs Lin-
ment." Rub it right on the ache or
tender spot and instantly the pain,
soreness, stiffness and lameness dis
appears. Don't stay crippled! Get a
small trial bottle of "St. Jacobs Lini-
ment' from your druggist and timber
up. A moment after it is applied you'll
wonder what became of the backache
sciatica or lumbago pain. "St. Jacobs
Imminent" stops any pain at once. 1t
is harmless and doesn't burn or dis
color the skin.
It's the only application to rub on
weak, lame or painful back, or for
lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, sprains or a strain.-Adv.

DISCUSS NEW LAWS
Council of Women Voters to
Ask That Women Have Hand
in Management of Travelling
Library-Elect Officers.

Members of the Council of Women
Voters feel that the affairs of the
state travelling library should not rest
wholly in the hands of the state board
of education as is provided in a bill
now before the state legislature and at
their meeting Tuesday night author
Ized Miss Mahan to draw up an am
endment to the bill providing for q
commission to aid in handling the Ii
brary work and for the appointment
of two women on the commission.
The amendment is to be presented
to the committee on state affairs in
the senate and to Governor Davis.
The women who worked and toiled
for the Inauguration of travelling IL
system of library work than has as yet
been accomplished in the present trav-
cling library system. The women have
always wanted a non-political library
commission whose members individ-
ually were thinking along library lines.
Now that q change in the library COM
mission is contemplated it is thought
that such a commission may be made
possible. Hence the proposition of the
Council of Women Voters to have two
women added to the state board of edu-
cation with an equal vote of the board
of education members. to compose the
library commission. With the encour-
agement of commission which Is in
spired with library enthusiasm it is
hoped that a field worker may be made
possible who should assist in the es-
