mrs. CARL HARDY
SEVERELY INJURED
N AUTO ACCIDENT

G. Suffering from severe bruises about
the body and strained muscles Mrs.
Hardy wife of Carl Hardy, chief clerk
in the Executive offices at the State
House, is confined to her bed at her
residence on Franklin street, Murray
Hill. as the result of an automobile
accident yesterday afternoon. Her
condition is not thought to be seri-
Gus, however.
Mr. and Mrs. Hardy only recently
purchased an auto sedanette, and
Mrs. Hardy was taking her second
lesson in driving yesterday when the
accident occurred. Charles Sapp, 10
years old, employed by local auto-
mobile dealer, was giving the in
struction, at the time. The car had
been driven out the Annapolis-B -Balti-
more boulevard and the concrete
highway leading to st. Margaret's
and was turning from the latter
road into the boulevard, when the
car presumably got beyond the con-
troll of Sapp and crashed into a tree.
Mrs. Hardy was jammed against the
front of the car, but escaped being
cut by flying glass from the wind
shield and the glass work in the sides
of the car. Sapp escaped injury
Fortunately the car was being driven
at moderate rate of speed when the
crash occurred. Mrs. Hardy's most
severe injury appears to be a wrench
in the muscles of the back.
