CHAUFFEUR IS HELD
BY TELEPHONE POLE

pole, as a knight of old pierced by the
lance of his opponent, a Htudebaker
automobile, belonging to Major J. F.
Hanson and driven by Chauffeur How*
nrd W. French, was found Saturday
night with French pinned by the end
of the pole to the hack of the seat,
which resulted from the machine run
ning Into the back end of a wagon
heavily loaded with 60-foot telephone
poles.
The accident occurred at Peachtree
at. and Merrltts-ave. and was caused
when French, not seeing the telephone
pole loaded wagon, turned to one side
to pass another automobile and struck
the end of the pole, which projected
about fifteen feet from the rear of the
agon.
The pole, on account of the force of
the moving machine, smashed thru
the front part of It and struck French
In the breast, pinning him to the hnck
of the seat. He w f as knocked uncon
scious, but fortunately had presence
of mind enough to stop the engine and
apply the emergency brake. The ma
chine was stopped before It had gone
far enough to crush French.
French was returning the machine to

Hanson to his apartment. It Is said
that he had two friends with him. He
was taken to a hospital and the ma
chine was taken to the Dixie garage.

Things Our Contestants
• s
Should Remember
OST IMPORTANT of .all is the
fact that the contest will close
promptly at 11 o’clock next,Sat
urday night, leaving a little
more than five days’ time in
which to win your prize. An
other important thing to be remembered is
that all votes and subscriptions MUST
be in the ballot box before the closing
hour, otherwise they can not be counted.
The ballot box will be sealed at noon to
morrow, and will not be opened again
until the judges take charge on the night
of closing.' Contestants in outside dis
tricts should be veiy careful to send in
their votes and subscriptions in plenty of
time for them to arrive at the Contest
Department before the closing hour, as no
votes will be issued after that time. A
great deal depends upon the sort of work
you do this week. Don’t fail to do the
right sort.

scientist to study systematically the

wound of the stomach In a Canadian
voyageur—Alexis Ht. Martin. “ When
the wmind healed a permanent opening
left by m» ans of which food could
be placeil In the stomach and gastrl
Juice taken from It.
Beaumont made sc|i»ntlf1c experl
ments with his crude means and wrote
book, which today Is recognize*
among the classics of physiology.
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientist* so that today medh lne knows
hat the stomach does with food ami
hat food docs to the stomach.
Science also know* what the gastric
Juices are and h.»w to r.i.ike them best
for the system.

the poor army surgeon and Alexis Rt.
Martin, give man a menna of illgentlng
food, replenishing the exhausted Juices,
