of Olaf that the lights on the Andrews
car were not lighted. He said he had
lighted them when leaving Thames
squat e for Greeneville. He picked Olaf
up and took him to the Backus hospital
but he denied that he said to Olaf on
the way that 1t was his fault or that he
took a chance and thought he could get
by into the driveway ahead of the mo-
torcycle. He told Olaf that he was
sorry but not that it was his fault.
John NJ. andrews, brother of the plain
tiff, who's was riding in the automobile
at the time of the accident, testified that
the motorcycle was travelling at very
fast gait. August Heber, baker, who
ran out of the bakery when he heard
the crash, testified that the lights on the
Aandrews coz were burning when he first
saw it.
1t was bropt hit out In the course Of
the trial that the accident happened the
day after Olaf had been given his per-
nit from the state motor vehicle depart
ment - drive motorcycle, but that he
had been riding a machine for about two
weeks before that under a dealers IL
cense.
Both sides rested at 23O and Attor-
ney Shields made the first argument for
the plaintiff, speaking for about 25 min
utes. He was followed by Attorney
Desmond with the argument for the de-
PENDANT, which occupied about 40 min
utes. Attorney Shields used five min
utes more in the closing argument for
the plaintiff and Judge Human con-
cluded his charge to the jury at 4.2O
having taker 40 minutes to place the case
before them
The jury was out 35 minutes before

An appeal for universal renewal of
support CT the American Red Cross dur
ing the annual roll call now in progress
throughout the country was made Tues
day at Washington by Sergeant Samuel
Woodfill, officially selected by General
Pershing as the outstanding hero of the
A. E. F. In his statement Sergeant
Woodfll said:
Among the most pleasant recoHec-
tons of my service in France are those
Of the activities Of the American Red
Cross, acting for the folks back home,
IN behalf of the men in the field. The
devoted la'bors of it's nurses, like those
Of the army nurse corps, and the can
teen .gir.s, who seemed to be on hand
whenever they were needed, helped the
boys over many tough spot in the
road. They were real angels Of mercy.
Therefore I was very glad to take part
(although I can't claim to be an actor
some months ago in the Red Cross of
Peace pageant at Cincinnati
Ever since returning to this country
I have been impressed with the contin-
uing necessity of the present work of
the American Red Cross, particularly for
the disabled veterans. In addition 10
the friendly services to the men still in
| the hospitals more than 1900 chapters
| in as many cities and towns, I am told
are serving disabled men in many friend
~ ways. Al. this work is most necessary
