 Crashes Into Automobile VICTIMS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
Platnville Defects Manchester at Bowttng-DenocratS to Attend Rally at Lake Compolnce-Trol- Joy Freight Brushes Automobile Against Traffic Signal-Brief,

An ambulance, hurrying to Plain vile from Bristol yesterday in an- swer to . call. crashed a light se- dan causing injuries to Mrs. Anna L. Brown of Higganum which necessitated her removal to the Bristol hospital.
 The ambulance was on its way to take Michael Hynds. of 236 Main street, Bristol. motorman on the Bristol Traction Co. lines. to the Bristol hospital when it hit. the Hig- ganum woman's car. The ambu- lance was unchanged and because of the seriousness of the case. it stopped to take the woman instead of continuing on its journey to Plainville. Another vehicle was summoned and it took Hynds to Bristol.
 It all started when Motorman Hynds, after finishing a run from Bristol to Plainville. asked pern.is- sion to use the wash room in the barbershop. This is in the rear of the place. and it is necessary to turn to the right to reach it.
 A trap door leading into the eel lar was opened some time before and was not closed. Hynds follow ing directions, proceeded to the back of the shop but failing to turn to the right and not seeing the open trap door. he lost his footing and fell down the stairs into the cellar.
 Hynds appeared to be badly hurt. He had q fractured right ankle and contusions about the head. The owner of the shop sent in . hu1vy call for the ambulance from Bristol.
 Thamas P. O'Brien of Bristol vas at the helm of the ambulance as it sped on it's errand of mercy. At Davitt's railroad crossing, due to the blinding rain and the slippery road surface. the ambulance crash sd into the sedan. Mrs. Brown ap- pesssd to be seriously injured.

MT. O'Brien. able to operate the hospital vehicle, immediately placed Nrs- Brown in t and hurried to the hospital. He then started the trip to Plainville all over again and he succeeded in getting there just be- fore another ambulance answering the call. reached the scene.
 Mrs. Brown. . woman of advanc- ed age. suffered . compound frac- ture of the right arm. multiple bruises and deep lacerationk She is expected to recover.
 x She was riding as q passenger in an automobile operated by John Abraham of 46. /. Bradford street, Springfield, Mass. The car had just passed the crossing from For estville and was on . narrow stretch Of road on Broad street. Here one side of the road is being repaired. Evidently miscalcnlation of distances caused them to come to- sether.
 The rear end of Abrahams ma chine hit the back of the ambu- lance and the Springfield car was thrown against q tree. MrA Brown was thrown against . rear window.
 Motorcycle Policeman James Burns of the Bristol department investigated and ordered both driv-| erds to appear in court.

SUGAR IMPROVES
FRUIT FLAvORS
Makes these healthful foods
delightful to the tasts

The human body needs fruits, to
be well-fed and healthy, and each
person should eat at least one raw
and one cooked fruit each day. Here
are the health-giving elements that
fruits bring to Us: needed rough
age, fruit vitamines, mineral salts,
and beneficial fruit acids.
And, thanks to sugar, fruits can
also be beneficial in another way.
The harsh or sour acids, by being
sweetened to taste, can be turned
into delightful favors that add en-
joyment to eating. As = famous
food scientist states it, "The fruit
acids are softencd by sugar. The
fruit havors are developed by sugar.
Sugar promotes and facilitates the
ingestion Of fruits"
There are few people in the
world who do not relish the delicious
havors Of orange and grapefruit
salad, sweetened to taste. One Of
the most welcome beverages to any
palate is hot lemonade.
And remember that stewed fresh
apples or pears or stewed dried
peaches, prunes or apricots are ex-
cellent for breakfast. For dinner,
think Of apple sauce with pork, and
cranberry sauce with any kind Of
roast fowl or meat. Baked apples
or pears and fruit pies n delicious,
Is well Is healthful, for dessert.
Eating should be enjoyable Is
we'll as healthful. The use Of sugar,
on raw fruits and in cooking, is the
friend Of food enjoyment Ths
