WRECK ON Nj. v. AT PANAMA.
Runaway X. c. s. Freight Cars
Smash Into Passenger Coach.

Panama, Ok, Aug. ia runaway
string of freight cars, including a
caboose, of the Kansas City Southern
railway crashed into a Midland Valley
motor car and passenger coach coup
led to an engine in the Midland Valley
yards shortly before midnight tonight.
One passenger was badly injured by
flying glass and several others were
badly shaken up. A relief train from
Fort Smith has been summoned.
The Kansas City Southern cars
were being switched on top of grade
on the K. c. S. tracks when they sud
denly broke loose and started down
grade, obtaining high rate of speed.
Reaching the connecting tracks of the
Midland Valley they split the switch
and went on the Midland Valley
tracks. The motor car, which came
first, was split in two and buckled on
to the passenger coach which was
also badly damaged. The escape of
the passengers from death or serious
injury was miraculous.

ing divided equally between the

Association. The Pub
lie Health Association is planning TO

tional program next year in co-opera-
ton with the state departments of

Increase.

New York.-The clty's finger-print
records for 1918 tend to prove that
the female of the species here is not
dcadlier than the male. In announc-
ing decrease in the number OF prints
taken at the 10 magistrates courts,
Fred A. Hart, supervisor of this work,
said that this class Of records of fe-
males had dropped 81 per cent and
that of the males 4S per cent, as com
pared with 1917.
More than 100000 finger prints
We're taken during the year. Only the
degcneracy class showed a large in
crease, So per cent.
The big decrease among females
recorded is attributed to better con
ditions in the labor market and the
opportunity for greater reimburse
ment than in ordinary times" owing
to 50 many men being in military and
naval service. The decrease among
men recorded was declared to he due
to the "work or fight order, driving
idlers into government service or es-
sential occupations.
