HAS LEG CUT
OFF WHEN AUTO
TRUCKS COLLIDE
F. F. Rickard, OF Selbyville, Del,
Rushed To Hospital Following
Accident Near Town
VIRGINIA MAN SLIGHTLY
INJURED IN SMASH-UP

One of the most serious accidents
of this year in this vicinity occurred
about one and one-half miles from
this city on Friday of last week, when
F. F. Rickard, of Selbyville, Del, was
unfortunate enough to have his right
leg cut off between the ankle and
knee.
The injured man was driving a
truck loaded with strawberries, en-
route to Philadelphia, when he collid-
ed with an empty truck going south,
driven by Ohio Taylor, of Mappsville,
Va. The only explanation given as to
the cause of the accident is that it is
supposed Mr.. Rickard fell asleep, and
drove his truck headlong into the ma
chine of Mr.. Taylor. The two trucks
were badly damaged, Mr.. Rickard lost
his leg, and the occupants of the Tay-
lor truck badly cut and bruised. 1t
seems inexplicable how anyone es-
capped with their lives.

home of F. A. Townsend. Mr.. Bell,
q farmr nearby, heard the crash, and
mounting his horse hurried to the
scene to find Mr.. Rickard in the con-
dition above described. He was put
into a car, hurried to hospital by
Francis Townsend, and there operat-
ed upon. Various rumors have been
afloat concerning Mr.. Rickard but at
this writing he is reported as doing
we'll and will recover, the amputation
being entirely successful.
Mr.. Taylor states that he veered as
far to the right of the road as it was
possible in order not to run into a
ditch, but the approaching car ran
him down. The position of the two
machines seems to bear out this state
ment.

JUDGE KINNE ACCUSES
TALLMAN OF UEFAIRNESS

Younger men on the bench

years ago" said Judge James b
Kline who is candidate to sue
coed himself in Position 10 Of the
Superior Court at a mass meeting
on Queen Anne Hill, "and the peo-
pie then elected a younger man to
fill the position occupied by Boyd

Former Judge Tallman is now
advertising and stating that he is
candidate for reelection as
Judge of the Superior Court, De
partment 49, He is not now on
the bench and has not been for two

not comport with fairness and
honesty that man should possess
who aspires to the bench. "
Such misrepresentation misled
many voters in the Primaries"

ish scientist says in dry obiec-
tive way, without entering into
the controversy as to whether the
femal' is more talkative than the
male.
The scientist explains his
statement by two facts; first that
the greater the length of the vocal
chords, the more energy is red
uired to produce a sound; second
that the vocal chords of women
are shorter than those of men.
Ghost stories are gaining in
popularity according to Danish

AUDITORIUM-"King Lear"

The Mantell- Hamper organization,
which comes to the Washington Audi
torium for a two weeks engagement
beginning Monday night. will give
eight performances, including NATL
nees Wednesday and Saturday.
There has been no one on the
American stage to give more beau
tiful utterances to Shakespeare's lines
than these players. The richness and
fullness of their portrayals are stage
history.
They viii give seven plays by
Shakespeare and also "RiChelieu,"
Bulwer-Lytton' masterpiece. The
curtain will rise promptly nights at
S:15 pm, matinees at 2:15 pm. and
no one will be seated after the plays
begin until the intermissiOn.
Mr.. Mantell and Miss Hamper have
brought to Shakespeare the changed
mode of stage decorations. They
have combined the simplicity of the
Elizabethan stage with modern meth
ods of impressionism. Their endeavor
has been to create the mood OF the
plays. the locale and the period. and
| to sustain this illusion, but not let
scenery stand between the poet and
| his audience.
For many years Mantell and Ham,
per have maintained a nucleus of able
players which makes their company
the only permanent travelling Shake
spearean organization in the Ameri-
| can theater. In the company are
John Burke, Robert Strauss, John G.
| Hickey. John Alexander. Bruce

NATIONAL-"Yes, Yes, Yvette."

More than ordinary interest attends
the first performance here of H. H.
Frazee's newest musical comedy pro-
duction, Eyes. Yes, Yvette," tomorrow
night at the National.
This bright and youthful debutante
claims direct relationship with that
other Frazee offspring, mo, No. Nan
ette," which graciously gives way to
her younger sister, conceding to her
the first of the coming two weeks at
the National Theater.
It is already rumored that "Yvette"
is quite as merry and charming. and
altogether lovable. IF she is. then
she will receive a hearty welcome TO
Washington and will be given her
rightful place in the home circle or
popular affection during her stay or
one short week. To sprightly lyrics
and jinggly tunes, with real and I'M
mensely funny book, she will make
her happy debut and do her best to
uphold the family reputation.
The story of Yes, Yes. 1Vette is
based on q novel by Frederic Isham,
Nothing But the Truth" fashioned
into play form by James Montgomery.
AS a farce it was one of the Outstand-
ing hits Of a few seasons ago. Then,
as now. Mr.. FraZee was the producer,
and he has devoted more than year
to shaping it into musical comedy
form, and now, under the fetching
title of "Yes. Yes. Yvette," 1t Will be
shown for the first time here at the
National Monday night.
Irving Caesar, who was consider
able factor in writing NO, No,
Nanette," is resopsible for the lyrics.
He also wrote much of the music,
with additional numbers by Philip
Charig. Carl Hemmer has arranged
the dances. Among the numbers eX-
pected to rival Mr.. Caesars "Tea for
