Machine Leaps Curb; Hits Tree

AUTO RUNS THROUGH INTERSECTION EARLY SATUR-

DAY MORNING

Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Jackson and Glenn Lorry, colored, all of Cleveland, Ohio, were cut and bruised when the automobile in which they were riding hit a tree after the machine ran up over the curbing on the north side of Washington at the end of Bloomington street about 6 o’clock Saturday morning. The injured persons were taken to the Putnam county hospital for treat-

ment.

According to the investigating officer, Lawrence Graham, Jackson said that the party were enroute to St. Louis when the accident occurred. Jackson said he had been driving all night and had just turned the wheel over to his wife, Leona Jackson. Apparently the car traveled down Bloomington street at too great a speed and the automobile jumped the curbing and struck a tree a few feet west of the residence of C. F. Mathes, Graham said. After striking the tree, the auto slowed to a stop a few feet from the front steps cf the Jesse M. Jones home. The Ford V-8 was damage 1 about the front end but was driven away under its own power. Aside from nainful cuts and bruises the Cleveland people were not badly injured.

Two Bandits Get $1,51.1 Pay Roll ESCAPE IN ( Alt \KTKR DARING DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. POLICE GIVEN DESCRIPTIONS INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 5. Two youthful bandits seized th" $1,515 pay roll of the McNamara & Koster Foundry Company yesterday and escaped. The money was taken from Paul McNamara, secretary-treasurer, and Miss Ella O’Conner an employe, as they arrived in front of tre foim lary with the money which was to have been used to pay employes last night. McNamara said that as he stepped from his car one of the landits left a gray sedan parked nearby, aimed a pistol at him and said: “AH right, let’s have it.” The other bandits stepped to the other side of the McNamara car and attempted to seize a purse from Miss O’Conner which contained the pay roll. Miss O’Conner began a struggle with the robber, but was advised by McNamara to hand over the money. The robber seized the purse. The two men jumped in their ear and fled. Police were given good descriptions of both men.

VICTIM OF RAR1 DISEASE IMPROVES AFTER BLOOD TRANSFI SION CHICAGO, Sept. 5, (UP)—Philip Levitt, seven year old victim of a rare and dreaded blood disease found new strength toGav in Uie h'ood of the only person his doctors could find who had survived the same disease in recent years. Through the trained and pure fingers of Dr. Paul A. Sahk’is, medical science performed another of its everyday “miracles” and drained into Philip’s body 125 cubic centimeters about one quarter of a pint —of blood taken from chubby Maurice Oldham,

12.

“It’s just a chance a shot in the dark,” Sahlins said. He explained that the Oldham boy, j whose recovery three years ago was as much by hop. and prayer as by science, may posses in his blood the rare elements Philip needs to fight of the effects of the dreaded streptococcus veridans germ which has infected his body. The transformation was performed last night. Philip perked up imme-

diately.

“He seems blighter am' more cheerful, now.” Sahlins said, “but it’s too early to predict anytivng like re-

covery.”

Dr. Sahlins warned against any conclusions that the transfusions

might save Philip's life.

“The results of the transfusion are still very uner:' dn,” the physician said. “It all depends on Philip’s

power of resistance.”

AfU» the transfusion Maurice, whose home is in Lexington, Ky., went to the home of Philip’s parents, with whom he is staying and who have made then > 'ves “human testtubes’ 'to generate more of the dis-

useful,’ Sahlins said. “3 here is no danger to them, from the injection, and there is no need for a test. In all probability, we will have to give some of their blood to Philip, but when and at what intervals I can not

say now.”

Unless the blood of these three give Philip the strength to fight off the infection, the germ will attack the lining of his heart. If that happens, all doctors can do is give him drugs to alleviate the pain wlrch will end only with death. Sahlins and hospital attendants receive thousands of letters and telegrams volunteering blood In every case but Maurice’s they found that the prospective donors had recovered from some other streptococcus infection than the one which has attacked Philip, or had the same disease but too long ago, and therefore their donations would have been useless. Blast Blows Flier Out Of Airplane ICE JACOBSON IS SAVED BY PARACHUTE FOLLOWING EXPLOSION STAFFORD, Kan., Sept. 5. (UP) Joe Jacobson, Kansas City aviator flying in the Bendix air derby from New York to Los Angeles, whs blown out of his airplane yesterday when it exploded 5,000 feet in the air but managed to descend safely in his parachute after an exciting few moments in which it appeared the ’chute would not open. Jacobson came to earth in a field and was brought here by the farmer on whoso land he came down. “I was blown clear out of the plane,” he said. “It felt as though I had been hit on the head with a
