LEAP FUR LIFE AT
 WEST END CROSSING
Driver Escapes But Train HuTlS
 Truck From Path

Jumping for his life from a light automobile truck he was driving over the Wooster street grade cross ing at $40 yesterday afternoon, Et- tro Andi Of A Smith street, barely reached the ground when an east bound passenger train in charge of W. H. Casey struck the truck and threw the body several feet, tearing it from the chassis.
 Andri said the warning signal was not working when he drove onto the crossing. When he saw the train bearing down, he tried 10 back the truck off but was unable to do so, Had he delayed his leap a few sec onds, he might have been killed.
 Policeman Fred Wagner investi- gated the accident and reported that the signal worked when the train was running over the crossing in his presence, and it worked a short time later when another train passed.

Wheeler Not Surprised.

Washington, May 19 Pl-Wayne E. Wheeler of the anti-saloon league issued this statement today regarding the senatorial primary in Pennsyl- vania.
 "The nomination of Mir. Ware witk the dry vote divided between Sena- tor Pepper and Gov, Pinchot was ex. pected.
 Tn other states under such cir cumstances the drys unite on the candidate most likely to win, but it was impossible to accomplish this in Pennsylvania.
 "The united vote of Pinchot and Pepper showed that Pennsylvania S voters are against the platform ad- vocated by Mir. Ware. He will not have any more influence in bringing back light wine and beer than Sena- tor Edwards Of New Jersey.
 "We will make up this lost dry vote in the senate in some other state. The large majority of the senate will still be dry"

GIRLS IN AMERICA
 TAKE BEAUTY PRIZE
Prettier Than in England, New
 Britain Musician Says

Gee, it's great!' Thus does liar " A. Ward. F year old son of Mir. and Mrs John R. Ward of 12O Win throp street. show his enthusiasm of his first trip abroad on the worlds largest vessel.
 Harry has just returned from cruise to France and England on the Leviathan as a student musician. He and five boys from Meridou, James Donahue, William Bennett, Fred erick Rannister, Walter Morris and Stanford Cook signed on as members of the student orchestra, to play on the boat. The young men sailed April 30 The first stop was 10 pick up passeng gers at Chcrbourg. France, where the boat remained only two hours. From there they went 10 Southampton, England, whore the ship was in dock for five days.
 The musicians took a trip to Lon don where they visited some Of the points of interest in that city. They were there during the recent strike. They noticed little of the strike that railway service was curtailed to minimum and there seemed to be an unusual number of labor eXhorters holding forth in the streets. Five trains a day each way from South ampton to London were curtailed 10 one each way.
 On one occasion q railroad crew went on strike en route and the po- lice had to acquisition automobiles 10 deliver the passengers to their destination. There were no trolleys running and no taXis.
 Can't Beat Yankee Girls
 "At it's best, London seemed 10 ba 1 Q years behind America" says Har- ry. The young men were observing, however and little escaped their at tentfon. The New Britain hoy is most emphatic in his statement that there aren't any girls half as good looking in England as some he knows in New Britain.
 He will remain here with his folks for a few days and will re- turn 10 New York Friday where the orchestra will broadcast from Gimbel Brothers department store. Saturday the boat will sail again over the same route.
 While in London the boys were invited to remain there and were offered permanent engagements. A vaudeville man from South Africa wanted to take them back with him. They have nothing but Eng fish orchestras in South Africa and these do not play jazz There is no iazz in England. according to Harry.
 Sign Vaudeville Contract
 After next September the boys plan to go into vaudeville and have already signed a contract with the F. r. Keith circuit for 40 weeks engagement in New York city 10 be followed by a tour of the coun- try.
 Life on board the boat was a big. long holiday, according to the traveller. The Leviathan is q float ing hotel with all it's conyenienccs and department store. thcater, green house. etc. Will Rogers was on board going over and a Hindu magician coming back. Both help ed furnish entertainment. The ship. being an oil burner. carries TO coal and was not bothered by the strike.

Mountain Elevator

The great "lift'' to carry aspiring
tourists who would eschew the
combined joys and labors of the
mountain climber to the top Of the
rugged Wetterhorn, in Switzerland,
is one of the most interesting de-
vices in the world.
1t goes up by two stages, each
about 1000 feet high. The passen-
ger cages are lifted by drum
wound rope and guided by two
pairs of steel cables, each about an
inch and three-quarterS in diane
ter, and possessing a tens sill 9
strength OF $50 tons, 10 times the
maximum put upon them. The cars
are attached to these cables in such
a manner as to avert a fall in case
of the breaking of one of the lift
ing ropes. The cars, weighing 51a
tons, and carrying 20 passengers
apiece, are lifted vertically at a
speed Of about five feet q second.
