THRILLER COASTER KILLSWATCHMAN Aged Man Meets Death Without Flinching. By United Press NEW YORK. July 3—Delancey W. Lewis, for thirty years a watchman on Jackman’s Thriller, a Coney Island roller coaster, stared approaching death in the face early today when a car came hurtling down upon him. The aged watchman had climbed upon the structure to make sure sparks from a nearby fire did not ignite it. It was after midnight and he felt confident the coaster was closed. Perched at a perilous height on the slender structure, unable to get off the narrow tra.ck, he heard the hum of a car. The car contained two people, as helpless to avert the dlstaster as was Lewis. For a second Lewis matched the car as it whirred down one of the breath-taking "loops,” the couple in the car crouched back in horror and then the old watchman met his death without flnehing. The car went on, the two passengers unhurt.

PLEATED GARMENTS that you send us to be dry cleaned and repleated take a great deal of time. We lay in the pleats carefully, by hand. In past years, when pleats were not the prevailing style, and we received only an occasional pleated garment, we were glad to take a loss rather than make an extra charge to our good patrons. But now, % since the majority of the skirts and dresses we receive are finely pleated, we are forced to announce this change in policy: Hereafter, all pleated garments will be cleaned at the regular cleaning prices, but there will be an additional charge for pressing at so many cents per pleat. Call us and we will be glad to give you prices. Allen & Thomas Cleaners American Dry Cleaners (C. E. Worrell) The J. D. Eastman Cos.
