WOMEN HAVE FEVER
AUTOMOBILE SMASHES
THAN STRONGER SEA

Women automobile drivers in Colum'
bia have fewer accidents than men and
the thirteenth day of the month is more
lucky for motorists than at least dozen
other dates on the calendar.
Although both Of these statements are
contrary to popular belief, they are borne
out by statistics for 1920. Out of forty
five automobile accidents in Columbia
during the last year, forty involved male
drivers.
While it is possible that more men are
driving cars than women, it is not prob
able that the ratio is eight TO one, and
some persons interviewed on the subject
even claimed that more women drove
cars than men. Whether the womens ac-
cident record is due to their careful driv-
ing or due to the fact that men, realizing
their danger or through natural chiyalry,
give a machine driven by a woman a
wide berth cannot be proved.
The thirteenth day Of the month in
stead of being an ill-omened date for
motoring, proved to be safer than thir-
teen other dates. Only one accident &C.
CURED on the proverbial thirteenth, while
on thirteen other days two or more mis-
haps to motorists were recorded.
Automobile accidents seems to occur
in waves. April II is credited with three,
and May "a. June 70, and December II
and IA with two each. There was not
one automobile accident reported during
February, and only one in January, which
may be contrassted with September, which
had eight, December with seven, and May
and October with six each.
The most dangerous street corners in
Columbia is at CHEEKY and Ninth street,
the scene Of three accidents. Corners at
Broadway and Eighth street, Elm street
and Ninth streets, Broadway and Hin
street, and Hit street and University ave
nue., had two each. Broadway is the
most popular street for accidents, having
a record of eleven for the year, with
Ninth street a close second with ten.
Out Of the forty-6ve accidents for the
year, fourteen resulted in injury to one
or more persons and Only one in fatal
ity. All of those arrested for speeding
during 1920 were men.

A ragged curtain cut off one corner

NOW The "DlRIaIBLE, BOMB
stesrsd by Wireless, ito Possibilities
for Deadly Work, Are Almost
Beyond Calculation. i

A "dirigible bomb" that can be
steered toward the target by wireless
after being let fall from an airplane.
Is the novel invention of Elmer A.
Sperry of Brooklyn.
Ordinarily, when bombs are dropped
from aircraft. the chances of miss
are great. The speed and altitude Of
the plane. or balloon, have to be taken
into account, and the wind. also. OBJ
viously II would be of utmost advan-
tage II the path of descent of the
gravity projectile could be changed at
will while 1t was falling.
The Sperry dirigible bornb carries q
parachute, which. unfolding rs it starts
10 drop. not only slows the rate OF Its
descent. but incidentally serves as a
"drag-rudder" BY fitting this drag
rudder in one direction or another the
bombs path OF descent Is controlled.
AS the projectile starts TO fall, Sec
ond and very tiny parachute Is llber-
ated from the top of the bomb 10 sup
port vertically wire that serves the
purpose of an antenna. II Is by the
help of this antenna that the man in
the airplane Is enabled so to operate
the radio apparatus carried In his ma
chine as to alter at will the angle of
the drag-rudder.
While the bomb Is going down he
circles about and steers IL by radio.
All he has TO do to make the bomb
turn this way or that is to turn a han.
die connected with his radio sender
In the desired direction. Thus the
bomb Is made to land exactly where II
will do the most good--meaning. Of
course, the most mischief.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot B,
Cured

by local applications, as they carrot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cartarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu-
ional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes
When this tube inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrah Peafness that cam
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medi
