> THE EVEN Seven Hours in a Morgue the Gruesome Experience of an Auto Race Track Speed Fiend Who Has Sworn Oft —Germany Gets the Busi- ness With Low Price Tags on Goods of Inferior Quality. By Roger Batchelder. Louls Disbrow, speed demon, de- Olares that he is through with auto- mobile racing. The lure of the track -atill holds him, but his family has exacted his promise that he will no longer break the speed laws on of off the track. Disbrow has had a score of accidents In his career, and on one Sceasion spent seven hours in a morgue. “I think that that was my most re- markable experience,” he said yester- day at the Astor, “for there are few tmen who have spent that length of time on a marble slab and been able to tell about ft afterward. “After racing in seventy-one towns 'm @ period of six or seven months last year I went to Atlanta, Ga., for my last appearance. I had wired my wife in Chicago to meet me there, for I intended to take her to Florida for the winter. The day she arrived, 6B. Altman. & Co. however, my manager wired me from Albany, Ga. that 1 owed him one more race and told me to come to Albany the following day. “No sooner had I drawn up in front of the grand stand and started on the grind than I found that my steering gear was out of order, I went through a fence, down a 25-foot em- bankment, and then everything went black. That was at 2.20 in the af- ternoon and I woke up at 9.80 that night. There was no light in the room where I was, put from the reflection of one in’ the next room I could see a blood-stained sheet cov- ering me, I also found that my clothing was entirely gone. I thought 1 was in a queer kind of a hospital. “I managed to wriggle off the slab and drag myself to the door, A negro, rocking in @ chair, saw me and, thinking that I was a ghost, e a shriek and started to run. Judging from his speed when I last saw him, he must be in Japan by now. “[ soon saw that I was in the Morgue, and learned that two doc- tors who had been called after the accident had pronounced me dead. 1 was taken to a hospital then, where they told me that five ribs were smashed and several other injuries sustained. After I was bandaged up I insisted on taking the night train for Atlanta. When I arrived there every one again had the impression that I was a ghost, for the news had come that I had been killed, My next stop was at another hospital, where I lay unconscious for nineteen days with double pneumonia, contracted during my stay at the Morgue. “$0 youl see—some people can't be killed. But I'm through with racing, and from now on my family will be ble to breathe again.” “AS OTHERS SEE U: “I wonder why all New York women wear furs before cold weather comes,” pondered Harry Reese, a Colorado salesman, who fy at the Biltmore, ‘Perhaps they do everywhere, but I never noticed it until 1 walked down Fifth Ave- nue the other day. My starched collar was rapidly wilting, for It was hot for September, and I was wishing that I had worn a light sult. Then I noticed that every woman had a fur neckplece and wore thick sults which seemed more suitable for winter than au- tumn. Finally I saw a woman with a sealskin coat. My collar immediately wilted another inch and I asked myself, ‘Why—oh, why?" oe BUSY BEE PIKER COMPARED TO GERMANS. “Germany may be in bad condition, finanolally and otherwise, but when it comes to getting business, she has every other country driven off the map,” asserted Sven A. Knudson, Copenhagen, Denmark, mechanical engineer, who 1s at the Pennsylvania, “In Denmark we feel German com- petition more than anything else. No matter what we make, Germany can underprice us. The busy bee has nothing on the Germans, Their goods are inferior to ours, but when money is so tight, people look at the price tag first and the quality afterwards. The problem has not been solved in Denmark and to my mind it is the most serious that confronts the world.” [en ee SARATOGA HOTEL MEN CAME OUT AHEAD. “Hotel men at Saratoga Springs came out with a slight profit for the season,” declared M. W. Scanlon, hotel manager, who is at the Waldort en route for Palm Beach. “Business looked bad at first, for July was a very slow month. But in August with the races, the resort took on its form- er busy aspect, and the hotels were filled to capacity.” oe ALL ABOUT PELLAGRA. Pellagra, the disease reported to b> widespread in the South, was prac- tically unknown, at least by tha: name, ten or fifteen years ago, ac- cording to Dr. Woods Hutchinson of Woods Hole, Mass, who is at the Majestic. of medical experts to adopt a of causes of death, it was sug that pellagra be dropped, as no cases few years later more than 100,000 cases were reported in various trons of the South. “The disease was prevalent, of course, but doctors had never diax- nosed it correctly. There was good as pellagra, a disease nean countries, hus’ several stages, each of which Tesembles some more common disease. “The first stage of pellagra is characterized by an eruption some- what resembling severe sunburn This disappecs, and is followed intestinal disorders. After that the is general physical and mental de- bility, and the final stage usually ig inganity. The primary cause of th disease is absence of variety in food, and the constant lack of one or more of the nourishing elements demanded by a healthy constitution.” . * PROVIDENCE HAS JUNIOR CHAMBER. One of the most valuable asscts of the Providence Chamber of Com- merce, said James Barrett of that city at the Biltmore est Al Junior Chamber, which came into &x- istence severa] years ago. The most valuable result, he says, is the op- portunity each boy has of close-up observations of the operation of fu tories and machinery.
