Starting to turn his automobile out | Park at the Eighty-first Street entrance, and, changing bie mind, Werner Brandenberg, twenty- nine years old, a druggist of No. 1126 Lexington Avenue, waa inetantly Killed early to-day when the machine skidded and turned turtle. Four companions in the car with Brandenberg escaped serious injury. His flancee, Miss Florence Roberts, twenty-two years old, a cabaret singer, of No. #15 West Forty-eighth Street, recetvod a slight fracture of the right shoulder blade and, with Miss Florence Dwelling, twenty-one, of the same address, was taken by | Dr. Smith to Knickerbocker Hospital. Miss Dwelling’s head was cut, Both wore suffering from shock, Jack} Hayward, twenty-nine, an employee of the Park Department, living at No. of Central 24 East One Hundred and Ninth Street, and Frank Ehler, twenty- seven, a druggist, of No. 710 Amster- dam Avenue, were thrown free and escaped with slight bruises. Brandenberg and Ehler were joint owners of the machine, which is @ seven-passenger car. They started out last night for a ride through the Bronx and Westchester, calling for the two girls at the cafe, where both sing, and afterward picking up Hay- ward, Returning early this morning after visits to a number of roadhouses, Brandenberg entered the Park at One Hundred and Tenth Street and speed- ed down the West Drive. His inten- tion was to turn out into Eighth Ave- nue at the Eighty-first Street en- trance, but as the car was about to take the turn Miss Roberts, who was on the front seat with him, sug- gested that they remain in the park all the way to Fifty-ninth Street, In trying to heed her request Bran- denberg gave the wheel a sudden twist, at which the machine skidded twenty feet and turned turtle, Mounted Policeman Devlin and Ser- geant Cassidy heard the women's screams and brought Dr, Smith, | randenberg, the physician sald, had instantly Killed, His skull was fractured and bis neck broken, which comes from having money in the bank and advises his friends to try it, It may be added every one who has tried this sys- tem is ready to recommend tt. “SAVE THE PENNIES” IS THIS PERSON'S MOTTO. ‘This writer advocates the use of a dime bank as a starter: “RIDGEWOOD, N. J. “*To the Thrift Pditor of The Evening World “To save from small income start right in by buying a small bank and commence by saving every ten cent piece you receive and dropping it in you bank (which cannot be opened until it is full), In this way you will not miss the money or be incon- venienced. I continued this practice until it became a habit and I was eager to get ten cent pieces in change. At the end of a month my bank began to bulge and when it was opened out rolled fifty ten cent pleces. I was well pleased with my experiment and Im- mediately opened a bank account and still add to ft, scarcely missing the ten cent pieces 1 continue to drop in Save the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.” SO.
