& ! AUTO TURNS OVER
 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC Quick Thinking of New Britain
 Man Prevents Fatality STEERING GEAR FAILS
Randau- Molumphy Marriage IstAn- nounoed - All-Kensinstons Win Another Game -- Welcome Home Party Scheduled--Town Meeting.

l-- " Alex Malamud of s2 Hartford ave- due, New Britain, is at the New Britain general hospital suffering
 rom injuries received when his car urned over at the foot of Damon's
 Till, Berlin, yesterday, and Mrs. ,ialamud is also nursing hurts.
 To MT. Malamud's quick thinking attributed the fact that no one vas fatally injured. The steering gear of the machine broke and he immediately applied both foot and emergency brakes. with the result that the car turned turtle at the side of the road.
 He and his family, Mrs. Malamud and three children, were on their way to New York city. The car was one of line of many. the usual Sunday afternoon crowd, and as it was about to proceed up the hill the driver felt the steering gear give way. He told Policeman John Stad- Ter of New Britain. who accompan- led the ambulance to the scene of the accident, he realized the fact that If the car continued to move along he could not avoid crashing into another machine.
 MT. Malamud showed excep- tional nerve in the face of his in- juries. His left leg was badly bruis- ed. but no bones were broken, it is believed. His first thought was of his wife and children, and, being unable to stand on his injured leg, he hoped about on the other, ascer- taining the amount of damage done.
 Dr. Matthew Griswold of Kensing- ton was notified and he called the ambulance from New Britain. It was found that Mrs. Malamud had a severe injury to her hand. The three children escaped unscathed,

FEAR CHINO MAN
LOST ON DESERT

Daniel Damaret, said to have
started from Chino several days
ago on his way to Texas, is believ
ed TO be wandering in the desert
lost between Ogleby and Pilot
Knob east of here today.
His automobile was discovered
early this morning parked along
side of the highway, but no trace of
DeInaret could be found. The ear
was identified by the operator S
license.
Immediately after the informa-
ton had been reported to the eoun-
ty sheriff's office here, request for
detailed information was phoned to
Chino, where it was said that De-
maret had been employed as a
mixer until about ten days ago
when he packed up his few belong
ings and started out, announcing
that he was on his way TO Texas.
Officers learned today that De-
maret has been brought before the
court in San Bernardino county on
two different occasions for sanity
hearings, but has been released each
time. Officers here are of the OPT
ion that the man may have become
demented while crossing the desert
and left his machine to look for
water, or that he may have been
fooled by a mirage and is hope
lessly strayed. Undcrsheriff Bert

THREE COUNTIES
TO COOPERATE
FOR HOSPITAL

The proposed hospital for tuher,
cular patients from lmpe ri l.,
Orange, and Riverside counties is
stil being considered and pits
will 20 forward as soon as q suit.
able site has been selected, accord
ing To County Supervisor W. II.
Brooks in an interview today. A
trip was made by Supervisors
Brooks, c. T. Stewart, and J. Roy
Adams recently which included
stops at Banning, Palm Springs and
Mt Riverside for the purpose of
selecting a site that would provide
the dry, sunshine-fiilcd air 50 ess
sential for such a hospital.
At Riverside the supervisors of
the three conn.ies who have been
appointed to arrange for the hospi-
tai met and decided that the cot
tage plan would be used for the
hospital. This will permit '.he ad-
dition of several units if the pro-
posed 80 beds prove insufficient for
ne needs of the patients. There
is to be Il main administration
building, the details of which have
net vet been fully decided.
The three counties of Imperial,
Orange. and Riverside will share
the construction costs in proportion
to the individual population ,atio.
The maintainence of patients is to
be paid by the county that sends
them to the hospital. The boards
of supervisors of the counties have
come TO the realization that such
patients should have more ade-
guate and specialized care than they
get. at present in the regular coun
ty hospitals in each county.
Imperial County has 10 or II
patients now in its county hospital
and they are receiving the bes5
possible care under conditions now
existing at that place. 1t is ex-
pected that there are others SINH
Iarly affected who are being tax
en- care of a private homes in the
valley that should have institutio-
nal care under proper supervision
by doctors and nurses, but whose
families at present cannot afford
such care for them.
The local supervisors are now
awaiting word from Riverside con-
eerning the selection of location
for the hospital as they were to
continue their inspection of vari-
GUS sites near Beaumont and Ban
ming. Further action by Imperial
c,,uuty VIII be given outl when
available.

Local Blaze Is
Quickly Subdued

Fire, which started in some oil
that had dripped frora vat at
Third and Commercial streets yes
terday afternoon, blazed for Il short
time without doing any damage,
although buildings and tanks near
by were endangered before the fire
department could reduce the flames.
The alarm was turned in at about
five O'Clock, and when the fire de-
partment arrived the flames and
volumes of black smoke made the
conflagration appear tc be a serious
one.
1t required but a few minutes,
however, TO get the flames under
control, and within half hour the
blaze was entirely out. A large
crowd gathered at the scene OF
the blaze, being attracted by she
clouds of smoke that rolled up
in the high wind which was blowing.

signed various members for various
reasons to spend lengthy periods in
stocks. just why such punishment
was meted out remains deep dark
secret.
Following the Irish court session

doled out for the edification of
the visitors and home folks, who
all did full justice to the repast
