woMAN's SKULL FRACTURED.
Mrs. Bion M. Leonard of Wilmington
Hurt in Automobile Accident Here
Improving in Hospital.

a Dodge touring car owned and
driven by Bion NJ. Leonard of Will
mngton and Porter touring car
owned by Police Commissioner J. C..
Stanley of Bridgeport, Conn, and driv-
en- by his chauffeur collided shortly
after 10 n. m. Saturday on the
corner of Linden and Chaplin streets,
with injury to Mrs. Leonard and scri-
GUS damage to the Dodge machine. Mrs,
Leonard was riding with Mr.. Leonard
on the front scat and she was the only
one badly hurt. She was taken at once
to the home of Mrs. j. l.. Martin,
where DR.. c. r. Aldrich was called, and
later the ambulance was summoned to
move her to the Brattlcboro Memorial
hospital.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard had been call
ing at the home of Frank L. Howard on
Putncy road and were driving west
from Park place across Linden street
at the time of the accident. Besides the
chauffeur the Porter car, which had Il
test body, was occupied by Mr.. Stan
lcy's young son, Elwood Stanley, and
Marcus and Merton Robbins, jr., sons
of Merton c. Robbins of New York, all
three boys riding on box on the rear
up Linden street from Linden Lodge,
where the Stanley family are guests
this summer.
The chauffeur saw the Dodge car
coming out Park place and slowed down
his car, supposing that Mr.. Leonard
intended to drive across Linden street
to Chaplin street. Instead, Mr.. Leon
ard apparently started to turn south
on Linden street. The chauffeur then
put on power again and the Dodge
swung in front of him. He then turned
his ear to the right just in time to
avoid hitting the Dodge ear squarcly
sidc-swiping it instead.
None of the occupants of either car
were thrown out by the collision, but
ElwoOd Stanley received cuts back of
his left ear.
The Dodge car was badly damaged
the right front wheel being smashed
and the front and rear mud guards be
ing badly jammed. The Connection
car was only slightly damaged.
An examination Saturday afternoon
showed that the frontal bone of hel
skull was fractured.
Mrs. Leonard has been conscious al
the time except the first few minute,
after the accident, and she is much i'm
proved today. 1t is expected that sh,
will be able to leave the hospital yer!
soon.
Mrs. Leonard was riding on the sid
next to the Porter car, but the top o
the Dodge was down and it is not know
what came in contact with her head. ]
search of the road revealed a nut an,
part of bolt from the Porter machine
and this may have struck her in In
! head.

Identified long with the international

a hard blow to him and the cause which

Owing to i'll health for some time he

To know if an egg is fresh, place it

at the bottom, it is all right; if it
floats at all, it is of rather doubtful

average length of human life by med
ical science, according to a statement
made by DR.. William Mayo, the new
president Of the American College of
Surgeons. DR.. Mayo predicts that
during the next twenty years, it Isl
certain that ten years and perhaps fif-
teen years will be added to the pres
ent average. Time was not more than
half century ago when man of
forty found it hard to secure a new
job and this was impossible with a
man of fifty. Today, many Of our
most energetic businessmen are men
of three score years and some are in
the harness every day at eighty. Men
do not grow old so rapidly as in for
mer years. They take better care of
their health. Medical science and sur
gerry save many lives that in past de-
cades were doomed to premature pass
ing. 1t has been only comparatively
few years that the public became
aware Of the danger from flies and
mosquitoes. Diphtheria was general
ly fatal. A person with tuberculosi
was doomed. incubation against ty-
phoid fever, now an almost certain
preventative, was unknown. Antitoxin
for diphtheria is a recent discovery,
Gymnasiums were only used by our
younger folks. Dentistry was prac-
ticed only in crude manner and the
older folks with teeth in sad state
of decay, were compelled to live on
cruel or if they did venture to par
take of the more solid foods, their di-
gestive apparatus soon played out,
There was more drinking of alcohol,
beverages and less of pure water. Isl
it little wonder than we have our hale
and hearty old young men of sixty and
seventy?
''If as a nation. we advance the
time of production of each person ten
years, we can afford to shorten the
hours of work and improve living con-
ditions and we shall be able to COM
pete with those countries in which
long hours and poor living conditions
shorten human life, and eventually de-
crease production and increase social
unrest" the doctor adds. He appears
to have solved our great social prob
lem, providing he can show US way
to make every able bodied person par
ticipate in that production. If we are
to continue to have vast army OIL
loafers,-leeches who contribute moth
ing and who by their wits live off theI
productive earnings of the less crafty,
then adding ten or twenty years tol
the average span of life, will not have
awaited humanity as a whole much i'll
any good.

ing top notch wages. The agreement
between the North Dakota miners
and the operators is effective until
March 1, 1920, but regardless OF this
fact they will have to go out with
the eastern miners on Nov. l, unless
the strike is averted.
Just what effect this wage increase
and hour decrease will have on the
North Dakota miners is not known at
this time. If their working hours are
reduced to six hours day for five
days, with Saturday and Sunday n,
it will mean substantial increase in
the price Of Ignite coal.
The North Dakota mines are al
ready running at full capacity, but
they cannot meet the demands. The
local mines can work only so many
men. There isn't room to put more Of
them to work. Minot dealers declare
that they have whole books full Of
orders that they cannot fill. There
has been but little hard coal received
in the city and wen who formerly
burned hard coal are depending en-
tirely on the local product for the COM
ing winter. Very few bins have been
filled. A few have been partially fill
ed and the residents are anxious to
have their orders completed, but Goa.
dealers simply cannot turn down the
buyers who have no coal at all on
hand. The farmers have been haul
ing their winters supply from the
mines, but the dealers now insist on
getting their usual shipments and it is
said that several of the mines will no
longer continae to fill farmers order ,
This may. work hardship on people
in the country
Some Noonan coal is being receiv-
ed, but not great deal. At Noonan,
open mining is in process, and will
continue so until winter sets in. I'm
skilled labor can be employed for
open mining and the strike will not
affect them, but Noonan cannot nearly
begin to meet the big demand.
The situation is not at all promising
and even if the strike is averted there
is apt to be a coal shortage. To add
to the difficulty, there is serious car
shortage, which has interfered mater
tally with the Noonan shipments.
The man who has his winters sup
ply of coal on hand is indeed fortu,
nate.
