FUMES OF AMMONIA
 OVERCOME WOMEN
Call for Gas Masks Sent Out as Fumes Invade
 Downtown Section

Two women are reported to have been overcome by ammonia. the odor of which swept the principal streets of Birmingham last night Officer Haney. superintendent of the race track stated that the women fainted on Second avenue and Twentieth street. and had to be borne away in automo- biles
 Shortly after s o'clock barrel of spirits of ammonia was accidentally overturned in the upper story of packing house on First avenue. Sew eral employees are said to have faded away while the fumes travelled through the windows and invaded the entire downtown section.
 A call was sent up for gas masks and not since the day of the celebra- ton of the famous 167th infantry di- vision have so many handkerchiefs been In evidence. However, the sig nificance of the 'kerchief was different from those waved on the historical day spoken of-they were not used to give the Chautauqua salute, but rather in obedience to the first law of nature 
 The odor from the ammonia travelled far and wide and the shifting, snuffing of humanity did some sneezing and snorting.
 Just how far the odors reached was not learned, but a man from Pratt City came into police Headquarters last night and breathlessly reported that it was rumored there that war with Germany had been resumed.

THREE INJURED IN {
 AUTO ACCIDENT Car Fell Twenty Feet When Ditch Was Mistaken
 for Roadway

Arthur Cordel1, 25231a Fifth avenue, north. and Miss Mae Lane, SIS Nine teenth street, north, were seriosuly in- jured and Miss Pearl Freedman, 2417 Fifth avenue, north, was painfully hurt when a large Studebaker auto mobile in which they were riding plunged into a ditch at First avenue and Eighty-third street WoodlaWn, shortly after l o'clock this morning.
 The trio were riding in Wood1awn and it is said that one of the young ladies was driving the automobile. Thinking that the street extended fur ther than it did, the young lady unex- pectedly drove the car into a ditch be- side small viaduct at the above men tioned point. The ditch is camouflag ged with grass and is surrounded by street which curves sharply to the right of the viaduct, while the other turns to the left.
 The car fell a distance of 20 feet, throwing the occupants out. They were picked up by people who were passing along the street at the time and con- veyed to nearby homes. while Johns am- balances were summoned and they were rushed to the Birmingham infirmary.
 MT. Cordell is apparently, according to authorities at the hospital, the worst
 injured of the three, while they stated that Miss Lane was seriously injured, having sustained ugly gashes about the face Cordell sustained injuries of a serious nature about the body and is n- formally injured.
 Miss Freedman sustained only painful cuts about the face and bruises about the body.
 Miss Freedman stated to an Age-H Herald reporter that the automobile was not be- ing run at rapid rate of speed at the time of the accident, and that it was due to the fact that they were not well acquainted with the roads.
