RECKLESS AUTO
DRIVING HIT
BY COURT
Oklahoma Girl Must Serve
z Years for Killing Pc
destrian With Machine.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 1S.-LP)
Conviction on a manslaughter charge
growing out of q death in an auto
mobile crash was affirmed by the state
criminal court Of appeals here. 1t was
the first time the court had been call.
ed upon to pass upon such conviction.
Miss Matte Nail of Okmulgee had
been found guilty of second degree
manslaughter in the district court of
Okmulgee County as a result Of the
death of John Falcone, whom she had
struck with her automobile on Christ
mas Day, 1922. A sentence of two
years in state prison was imposed and
she appealed.
An opinion announced by the court
today said:
"Driving of an automobile upon the
highway with a degree of carelessness
amounting to culpable disregard of
the rights and safety of others and
thereby causing the death of another
establishes the crime of manslaughter
in the second degree.
where a person of culpable negli-
gence, in the operation of an auto
mobile upon the highway by driving at
an excessive speed, without regard for
the safety of others, causes the death
of another, it is not a defense tina;
after he discovers the person in dan
ger, caused by his own acts, he then
did everything in his power to pre-
vent injury to such other person"

INVENTOR MARVELS
At PLANES ADVANCE

DAYTON, Ohio, Dec. 2S.-CP)-On
the twenty-second anniversary of the
first successful airplane flight, the
man who made the flight and one of
the two inventors Of the ship, Orville
Wright, told of his amazement at the
speed at which his invention has been
adopted and his marvel at the adop-
ton to which it had been put. The
tull significance of the invention was
not realized, he said, and many uses
now taken as ordinary, were beyond
their foresight.
Some hopes and ambitions Of the
brothers have not been realized, he
said.
1--WE realized a successful plane
would be a big war feature, as one
alone would be worth thousands OF
cavalry in scouting work." Mr.. Wright
said, but we could not dream OF using
them in the great quantities as was
the case in the late war. Bombing in
small ways, we realized, would be
possible. but not such use as directing
gun fire, actual battle, photography
and the like.
Its extensive use In bombing ships,
in destroying big junction points, In
commercial work and mail service,
we did not fully realize. We could
see where the government might use
planes for short hops into bad terri
tory untouched by railroads and where
such roads could not be extended to
carry mail. But We could not. and
never thought of such thing as trans
continental mail on regular schedules.

cupants out. Mrs. Cannon was badly
cut by glass, while Elmer struck his
head upon the concrete highway, and
is believed to have sustained a frac-
tured skull and concussion of the
brain. By a strange coincidence, AL
ton, two years old, was thrown 20
feet away from the car, and landed
unharmed in some bushes. The freak
of the accident was emphasized in the
fact that in being thrown from the
car the soles of his shoes were torn
off, but his feet were unscratched.
George Cannon, Jr., was also cut upon

New York, N.Y.-In a recent discourse
DR.. E. Sauer, a New England Physician
who has studied both in this country
and In great European Medical Institu-
tons said: eff you were to make an
actual blood test on all people who are
i'll you would probably be greatly aston
ished at the exceedingly large number
who lack iron, and who are i'll for no
other reason than the lack of iron. The
moment iron is supplied a multitude of
dangerous symptoms disappear, With
out iron the blood at once loses the pow
er to change food into living tissue and
therefore nothing you eat does you any
good; you don't get the strength out
of it. Your food merely passes through
your system like corn through a mill
with the rollers SO wide apart that the
mill can't grind. As a result of this
continuous blood and nerve starvation,
people become generally weakened,
nervous and all rundown, and frequent
ly develop allsorts of conditions. One is
too thin; another is burdened with I'M
healthy fat; some are so weak they can
hardly walk; some think they have
dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble; some
can't sleep at night, others are sleepy
and tired all day; some fussy and irri-
table; some skinny and bloodless, but
all lack physical power and endurance.
In such cases, 1t is worse than foolish
ness to take stimulating medicines or
narcotic drugs, which only whip up your
tagging vital powers for the moment,
maybe at the expense of your life later
on. No matter what anyone tells you,
If you are not strong and well you owe
