MUI CRATCH
DIES FROM INJURIES
Girard, Ala. Man Struck by
Central Railroad Train in
Americus Yards
Mastrum Cratch, a white man,
whose home is in Girard, Ala., died
here Sunday from injuries sustain
ed when a Central of Georgia train
struck him near the section house
in th< Americus yards. The train
which struck Cratch is uncertain,
and physicians who attended him
said shock attendant upon the ac
cident, combined with loss of blood,
was the cause of death.
Mr. Cratch was found lying
alongside the track by the engineer
of a freight train shortly after 4
o’clock Sunday morning and he was
brought to the depot on a motor
car belonging to the section, fore
man, who summoned medical as
sistance. His injuries combine* a
fracture of the left leg, a crushed
thigh and a severe cut about the
head. When and how the injuries
were sustained is uncertain, except
that Mr. Cratch was struck by a
passing train.
It is believed that he sab down
alongside the and fell asleep
for for a brief while, which caused
him not to see or hear the train
which struck him. That the engi
neer did not see the unfortuante
man is evidenced by the fact that
no report of the accident was
made.
When brought to the station
here Sunday morning, Mr. Cratch
was conscious and said he was on
his way to Girard when hurt. His
relatives, of whom there are quite
a number, he said, all live in Co
lumbus. The body was shipped to
that place for burial daring Sun
day afternoon.

This Dress Comes From
the Melting Pot of Style
You take a stiff, self-conscious
Eton boy and passionate Toreador
and mix them and their costumes
up, allow the mixture to simmer
awhile in the brain of some such
| Parisian fashion expert as Henri
Creange, and pour out to cool. As
soon as it is cool enough to try
on you will find a delightful
blending of styles into an after
-noon frock with the flair that only
a conception from Paris has. It’s )
as magic as you ever thought the \
rabbit that came out of the top
hat was.
The# Eton comes out in this
dress of Krisalkrepe in she short
jacket front, opening over
of plain sheer organdie. The
dashing Spanish touch appears in
the belt which is draped in a
swinging low line about the hips.
The wrap-around skirt comes to
an end in a drape shorter than the
hem, that is caught in shirrings
in away to suggest smocking.
Rather wide set in sleeves nar
row until they fit tightly about the
lower arm, but flare into an at
tractive cuff. The foreign influ
ences are at work only in the
front—the back is plain, merely
bloused above the folds of the
sash.
White orgaudy makes a Jaunty
band and bow around the felt hat.
