The blaze had gained considerable headway before being noticed, and the department was not able to extin guish It before damage amounting to $200 had been done. 'if it it Pi V' II -I li it a GIRLS HURT AS CARS DISPUTE RIGHT OF WAY Miss Margaretha Haas Is in Hospital with Injuries Received in Collision GLASS CUTS SISTER Miss Margaretha Haas, daughter of E.

A. Haas, 126 East Wood street, is in the Decatur and Macon County hospital with injuries sustained in a collision between a car in which she was riding. with three members of her family and Donald Dorsey, 227 East Washington street, and a car driven by Miss Margery Woodward, daughter of Dr. Clayton E. Woodward, 1070 West Macon street, which occurred at 6 o'clock Sunday evening at the intersection of Macon and Monroe streets.

It was reported at the hospital that her injuries were not believed serious. Miss Ruth Haas, sister of the in jured girl, sustained a scalp wound inflicted behind her right ear by a piece of glass, but was not taken to the hospital. Their mother and father and Mr. Dorsey, the other occupants of the Haas automobile, es caped with minor bruises. The oc cupants of the Woodward car were uninjured.

They were, besides the driver, Miss-Leora Hopkins and her brother, John. The cause of the accident, so far as could be learned by The Herald, was simply a misunderstanding as to which car should cross the intersection first. Mr. Haas said that he had arrived at the crossing before the slowed down and. shifting into, low gearhad started on across Macon, going south on Monroe street.

Miss Woodward east- on Macon street, although she arrived at the Intersection after Mr. Haas had, believed that, as she was approaching the other car from the right, she had the right-of-way, and did not slow down. Mr. Haas, thinking that the other car would stop, continued across Macon, but as he did so Miss Woodward swung to the south side of the street to drive in front of the Haas car. As a result, the Woodward car struck that of Mr.

Haas squarely on the right side. Following the Impact, the Woodward car continued to move, running up on the boulevard on the right-hand side of 'the street, and coming to a stop only after it had struck a fire plug and broken it. Both the cars were badly damaged. Several of the glasses in the Haas car, which is a sedan, were shattered, and it was by a piece of this glass that Miss Ruth was injured. According to Mr.

Haas, Miss Margaretha was asleep when the accident occurred, and did not wake up in time to brace herself for the impact, so that she was more seriously injured than were the others in the car. It was feared that she had sus tained some injury to her spine, as she complained of a pain in her back. At the hospital X-ray pictures were taken of her spine, but from these nothing could be learned last night. As she was resting easily, however. it was believed that her injuries were not as serious as had been thought at first.

POGUE ABLE TO QUIT HOSPITAL Miss Clarissa Flenniken However, Must Remain in Champaign Few, Days Harold Pogue, Decatur Association of Commerce secretary who, together with his companion, Miss Clarissa Flenniken, teacher in the Oakland school, was painfully Injur ed at about o'clock Saturday evening when the roadster in which they were returning from the Illinois-Iowa football game crashed into a concrete culvert a miles west of Champaign, was able to return to his home in Decatur Sunday. Except for the loss of se-eral teeth which were broken or cracked when he was thrown against the steering wheel by the impact of the car against the concrete culvert, Mr. Pogue is thought to have escaped the accident with only scratches and bruises. Miss Flenniken is still in the Burnham. hospital in Champaign, to which hospital both she and Mr.

GET CUP FOR PET STOCK SHOW Beagle Exhibit This Year Expected to Feature An-! nual Display A silver loving-cup, valued at 125 has been given by R. H. Hell as a personal gift to the Macon County Pet Stock association, to be given as a prize in the annual show which is to be held during the week ot Dec 9-14 In the Headquarters armory on West Wood street. For what event the cup will be given as a prize has not yet been decided by the association.

According to Mrs. W. N. Huston, secretary of the association, this year's pet stock show is expected to exceed even last year's in the number and varieties of pet stock entered. A large number of last year's prize winning animals from all over the country already have been entered, among them being some of the beagle hounds that were an outstanding feature of last year's exhibit.

In addition there are to be several valuable prize German police dogs, asul it is expected that there also will be some greyhounds in the show. How many entries there are to be is not yet certain, according to Mrs. Huston, andv probably will not be Known definitely until within a week before the show. A cat show is to be held in conjunction with the net stock exhibit and a license permitting the sho' license from the American Kennel club, indorsing the pet stock show. Proposals of the American Kennel club to hold a joint exhibit in the tonspring are being Mrs.

Huston said on Saturday, but that such a proposition "will be accepted is doubtful. Unless the invitation is accepted, all classes of animals will be shown in December. Should the associations decide to hold a Joint ex hibit, the December affair would be a "nut" show, an exhibit of non-pedigreed' stock, with the registered pets being shown in the spring.

MAWHINNEY GOES AHEAD ON PLANS Can't Understand Objec tions to Gas Station at Church Street While protests were coming to the city officials about the filling sta tion, at tne northeast corner or Prairie -and Church streets, S. A.

Mawhlnney, lessee of the ground and builder of the station, was going ahead with the excavation and plans soon to have the little brick build lng and shelter ready for business. The zoning ordinance provides for the development of this lot as. business property and it is doubtful whether the city council can do anything about it any more than follow the zoning ordinance. Churches Join In Protest. Presbyterians and Christian Scien tists joined hands for the moment to voice their protest against the sta tion.

Committees have been appoint ea by both of ie churches, the First Presbyterian just across the street, and the Scientists. adjoining the proposed station. The house on the corner will re main as it is except that the porch will be removed and the dirt will be excavated from the front yard to provide for a driveway accessible from the street to the filling station. There will be two drives with the of fice of the filling station between them. Mawhlnney Pnsxled Mr.

Mawhlnney leased the proper ty for five years from Lawrence Wheat and Joseph Schoenle. He prob ably will live on the first floor of the dwelling and sub-lease the second floor. The house will be painted the same color of the brick thatavill be laid in the filling station ottice. "I don't understand this complaint from the churches," Mr. Mawhlnney said Saturday.

"If I were planning to sell booze, I would expect to be ar rested but I am going to sell oil and gasoline and church members are not opposed to the use of these. 4 ZETA TAUS GUESTS AT BUFFET SUPPER Mrs. Harriet Zoe and Miss Sarah M.

a "Too Many Persons Herd ed into Blocks By Politicians" Smith Says Plan Meeting Tonight What messages are the churches bringing to tho people today? In an effort to answer this question. The Herald Is sending a representative to some Decatur church each Sunday, and on Monday Is printing a report of the minister's sermon. Yesterday tho reporter attended services In First Methodist church. A congregation that completely filled tbe lowe rfloor the the First Methodist church auditorium, and overflowed in large numbers Into tho balcony, heard Rev. Cbesteen Smitn preach Sunday morning on "The Tragic Immaturity of Our National Life." The nearness of election day gave added interest to his subject.

Rev. Mr. Smith took his subject from the 16th chapter of John: "I have many things to-say to you, 'but ye cannot bear them now." Immature Thinking; "Too many persons today vote by blocks, under the leadership of those who have something to gain. There is too much immaturity in thinking," he declared. "It is no easy task for the people to govern themselves, but because it is difficult is no reason for giving up the responsibility to tho few.

It is everyone's responsibility, and if you do not get out and vote on Tuesday, and see that your family and your neighbors' and your friends get out and vote, you are failing in your duty: "Study the ticket and make your. own decisions. Don't be led by a man with an ax to grind. We have, not yet made it impossible for the privileged classes to infringe upon the weaker classes. We have not yet had the courage to drive out from our political life unscrupulous demagogues who make the govern ment serve them.

We have Immatur ity of Judgment and action or we would not permit such things as that. Property Rights Exalted 'We have exalted property rights until we have forgotten what Jesus Christ called the chief things of life. We have not yet faith enough to send our armies out with Bibles rather than with, the macihnery of war. must not overlook the manifest destiny and mission of this nation. We are to teach the world how a people can govern themselves.

It is no easy task. The first step Is to actually govern ourselves by exercising our voting privilege. Instead of letting the few do the governing. Meeting Tonight. "Democracy is the progress of all through all, under the wisest and the best.

It is our place to prove to the world that under the leadership of the wisest and the best a spirit of co-operation can be fostered. Tbe tragic immaturity of our political life still staggers us." Rev. Mr. Smith ended with a rec ommendation that every member of the congregation make it a point to attend the political rally to be held lir-his church tonight, when "Dad" KomDel will sneak and strain ureed that the church be represented 100 rer cent at the polls Tuesday.

Name Street City WmW3Cwaaa'mmmms Stfct niri i'm ifben voter- are asked to pass upon ttl following little ballot: Tuberculosis Sanatorium For additional tax, for eight ytars.

not to exceed i a rate of (ico muia I'd annum on me dollar cn all taxabl. property In Macon County, Illinois for the Tuberculosis Sanatorium Fund. Five years ago the county -voted ea this same question, and voted overwhelmingly in favor of it. The two mill tax has never been levied in its entirety, and probably will not be so levied for at least a year to come. Hitherto the tax has been from one and two tenths mills to ene and one-half mills.

Free Treatment for Tubercnlars. The money voted five years ago its provided the banasome big sanatorium building west of Decatur and Macon County hospital, wheer eve.y tubercular patient In the county is privileged to go for free treatment; and the full staff of trained attendants, including a resident physician, has Been maintained. In addition to carrying these two expenses, the tax has provided instructors for educational work among tubercular patients who remain in their homes for treatment. The sanatorium comes under the general supervision of Dr. P.

W. Wlpperman, superintendent of Decatur and Macon County hospital, but has its own resident pliysician in the person of Dr. Ethel Hayes, and its own staff of nurses and attendants. Close relations are maintained between the sanatorium and the city department of public heatlh, the Visiting Nurse and Tuberculosis association, and the Social Service Bureau. These four organizations, working- together, are in touch with practically every case of tuberculosis in the county.

The hospital and sanatorium thus are functioning as a real health center, which Is the ideal hoped for by those who founded and worked for it. It was the ide also, of those who voted for the two mill tax five years ago, and who are to be asked to vote for It again this week. TS Patients In Year.

These women, who every church, civic, school and ocial organization In the county, provide a motion picture show, band concert, program of readings, or other hour's program for the patients. V.Inr Artificial Sunlight The very nature of tuberculosis Prevents the patients from having ttore than ne or two callers during the week, anj from doing much reading or handlwo. k. Theirs is a disease that calls for absolute quiet and practical monotony of living.

The Tuesday programs are the chief Teak in a stiff routine, and are high-apreciated on that account. The chief innovation in treatment the use of artificial sunlight. Tbis Method of substituting artificial for 'al sunshine during the winter ftonthi has been In use in Decatur some time in special cases, but only recently been Installed In sanatorium.

Roll Oglesby, 1068 North College street, picked an inadvisable time and a more inadvisable place to take a bath on Sunday morning, ana as a result is in St.

Mary's hospital, suffering from a case of severe exposure to cold. Mr, Oglesby fell into the distilling reservoir at the Decatur Milling plant, which was filled to a depth of about six Inches with cold water. A man who chanced to pass the place early Sunday morning heard someone threshing about in the reservoir, but thought nothing of it. After visiting a relative lor about an hour, he returned by the place, and heard the same sounds. Growing curious, he investigated, and found Mr.

Oglesby. The young man had been doing some work on the series of cooling pipes above the reservoir, when he grew ill and fell off a ladder, on which he was standing, i into tho water. How long he lay there is net known. Reviving, he made efforts to get out of the water, but found himself too weak, and was compelled to remain in what he found to be a very uncomfortable prison until help arrived, at least an hour later. When he was rescued, Mr.

Oglesby collapsed, and was taken in Brint-linger's ambulance to St. Mary's hospital. The doctor who attended him reported that he thought Mr. Oglesby was not greatly injured by his fall, but that he was in some danger from over-exposure in the chill water. NEW MILL TO BUY ONLY NJU WHITE Decatur Milling Company Plant Expected to Be Ready Dec.

1 Only number four new white corn will be purchased by the Decatur Milling during the first days of its operation, Herbert H. Corman, president and general manager of the corporation which has taken over the Union street plant of the American Hominy stated last evening. Mr. Corman was in the city yesterday conferring with L. T.

Armstrong, secretary and treasurer, and W. M. Chumard, milling superintendent of the new concern. "We will be busy at the plant during the remainder of the month cleaning and making such changes as are thought to be advisable," Mr. Corman said.

"We will not begin buying grain before the last week In November, by which time I believe the new corn will be cured and In good condition1 for us to use. We will buy only number four new white corn, and we will get it from elevators in this vicinity. I believe that we will.be able to buy enough corn in this district to satisfy our needs. If it is necessary for us to do so we will go elsewhere for tho srain that we will need, but I do not believe that this will need to be done." Mr. Corman goes back to Springfield today to return' Wednesday, at itno Tjnion street plant to superintend the preparation of the plant for opera tion.

REPORTS OF DROWNING ALARMS NEIGHBORHOOD AT CLINTON, CONDIT Police are Called to Make a Rescue at Open Manhole Sunday Evening; The inhabitants in the neighbor hood of East Condit and North Clin ton streets were thrown into a panic about 6:30 o'clock Sunday evening by a report that a man had fallen into a drainage manhole at the southeast corner of the intersection, and was drowning.

Muffled sounds that were said to have a striking resemblance to groans, were issuing from the man hole. At the time the street lights were out, and it was impossible to see into the pit to make certain what was causing the disturbance. Questions shouted down into the darkness brought no response other than a repetition of the sounds. That these sounds had an inbuman touch was agreed by the persons who quickly gathered at the scene, but then, they argued, the shape and depth of the cavity would distort any voice. The more resourceful persons pres ent sprung to action, one calling the police, another seeking a large rope, and others helping with suggestions.

One suggested calling the fire de partment, another the ambulance and lung-motor. Before this could be done, however, the police and rope arrived, and the one let, the other down into the manhole to succor the distressed individual. The "drowning man" proved to be a very wet and very dejected look ing tomcat. TODAY'S MEETINGS B. of R.
