CHOPPED OWN HEAD TO PIBCB8
An Aged BsnnstUville Woman Iq a
Critical Condition.
Mr*. KlUa?b?th Driggers, wife of
Henry Driggsrs, is in a serious condition
at their home south of the ice
plant 6n account of wounds in the
head, supposed to have been selfinflicted
with a hatchet early yesterday
morning.
Mrs. Priggers has been in. had
health for several years and frequently
complained of a severe pain in the
top of her head. Her family heard
her remark several times that she believed
she would get relief if her head
Were split open. For the past several
days her mind seemed to be wandering
and her grown daughter, Miss
Bert, ha* been watching her closely,
i When Miss Bert awoke up about 4:!i0
yesterday morning she missed h#r
mother from the house and started
out to looif for her. At the back door
she met her mother coming, with her
head and clothing covered^with blood.
She caught her and called her father
and brother, who had not got up, and
they phoned for a doctor* Dr. P. M.
Kinney was first to get there, and
found that the top of her head had
been chopped to pieces with a hatchet.
It was cut almost into a jelly,
several pieces of .flesh being cut out,
and the skull cut through in two
places, exposing the brain,
j In the closet in the garden back of
|the?house was found a bloody hatchet
l and the floor covered with blood and
I pieces of flesh.
The family has no doubt about Mrs.
Driggers inflicting the wounds her?
| self.
She is 61) years old, Dr. Kinney
sewed up the wounds in her head. She
is,conscious, but gives no reason why
j she inflicted the wounds on herself.?

In the United States the irregular
attendance of school children costs
$175,000,000. The hue and cry for
bigger and better buildings, more
teachers, free text books, all worthy
and commendable in themselves, is today
being accompanied by another
cry from educators and health authorities.
And their cry is, "Let us improve
our educational facilities, but
let us also make better use of what
we have. >'
This is food for thought for every
mother who is to launch her "baby"
this fall on his important and eventful
journey through the land of education.
Thousands of mothers will realize
with a start this fall that "baby"
is a baby no longer; that he has
reached the ripe old age of six years,
and is reatbv Hr start school.
But is he really ready? Readiness
embodies something more than having
reached the required age, as the foregoing
figures testify. It is just as futile
to start a child with diseased
tonsils, impaired vision, or defective
hearing as it is to start an automobile
trip with a fiat tire. You may get
there, but you will have a hard struggle
and big bills. Likewise your
child may pull through he mav make
his grades, but he will be fighting
terrible obstacles, and will be placed
in unfair competition with his healthier
follow, students. Moreover his frequent
illnesses will be expensive.
The wisest course, the most economical
and the only satisfactory
course, is to give the child about to
enter school the same overhauling you
would give your car before starting
an important ^trip. If you arc one of
the few parents whose child has no
defects to be corrected, you can indeed
congratulate yourself, for only
25 per cent, of all the children in this
country, authorities tell ua, Are in this
class. . .
During thus period between now
and the opening of school, the child
should be vaccinated against small
pox, as this will save time and trouble
later. The health of little children
is_such a precious heritage that we
cannot gamble with it. We cannot afford
to "presume" or "suppose", or
"reckon" that things are all right. Let
us make sure that every child entering
school for the first time this fall
is prepared for the long pull ahead of
him by being put in as nearly perfect
physical condition as possible,?

A man in North Carolina was saved
from conviction for horse stealing by
the powerful plea of his lawyer. After
his acquittal by the jury the lawyer
asked, "Honor bright, Bill, did
I you steal that horse?"
"Now, look here." was the reply,
"1 always did think 1 stole that horse,
but since 1 heard your speech to that
jury, VB be dawgoned if 1 ain't got
my doubts about it."

chant bridge opkmkd.
Said To Bo UrfMi of Its Kind in
TU World* I
Philadelphia, July lo?A dream of
100 yearn came true . today when
Pennsylvania and New Jersey joined
hands in dedicating end formally
opening to traffic the greatest suspension
bridge in the world.
.Since the early (leys of the nineteenth
century the inhabitants of
Southern New Jersey and of Philadelphia
urged a bridge across the historic
Delaware, but a disinclination
to go to the great expense always
Mocked the project. And U was left
to a decade when construction coats
were never higher to put through the
plan and building the great structure.
As it stands, the bridge cost $37,196,179.
Thirteen workmen lost;th*ir
Jives during the construction.
It is the only public bridge over
the Delaware between Philadelphia
and the sea, 100 miles distant. The
span between the main piers is 1,760
feet, the longest of its kind in .'the
world, and the length of the whole
structure from Sixth and Raee streets
Philadelphia, to Sijjth and Penn
streets, Camden, is 9,570 feet, or one
and three-quarter miles. The bridge
at Montreal, Canada, is fifty feet
longer, but it is of the cantilever type.
The new bridge has a width of 126
feet. It is wide enough to accommodate
six lines of vehicles and four
lines of trolleys or high speed transit
cars. It also haB two fpotwalks
for pedestrians each 'ten feet wide,
erected above the roadway on either
side of the structure. Engineers have
figures that the bridge will accommodate
6,000 vehicles an hour outside
the four tracks for trolley or high
speed transit.
When completed the Brooklyn
bridge across the East river was one
of the wonders of the' world. Its span
is 1,696 feet and its cables are 16
inches in diameter. The Delaware
river bridge cables are 80 inches "in
diameter.
The two great cables from u^hich
the Delaware river bridge is suspended
present a story in themselves.
Each contains 18,666 wires of twotenths
of an inch in thickness. The
ends are imbedded in great concrete
and steel anchorages. The cables are
draped in graceful curves over two
immense steel towers, one on each
aide of the river, and each 386 feet
high. The main piers upon which the
collosal towers rest are composed of
solid granite, and go down to solid
rock far below the bed of the river.
Authorization for the construction
of the bridge was given by the New
Jersey and Pennsylvania legislatures
.about eight years ago, and actual construction
began January 1922. The
cost of building was divided by New
Jersey assuming half and the State of
Pennsylvania the other half.
Tolls will be collected from all vehicles
crossing the structure, but
there will be no charge |or pedestrians.
A force of 46 pafrolmen will
police the bridge.
The bridge was constructed under
the supervision of a board of engineers
of which Ralph Modjeski, famed
I as a builder of gr?at bridges, is chair-,
! man. The other engineers are George
S. Webster, of Philadelphia, and Lau|
rence A. Ball, of New Jersey. Mr.*
j Modjeski is the son of the late Maj
dam Helen Modjeski, famous in her
day as a tragedienne.

According to the evidence brought
out at the hearing, the youths threw
the kisses at the young women, who
j after enjoying them for awhile threw
them back. #
Hearing sounds that resembled
kissing, one of the deacons who had
so far remained piously blind, opened

I'HOF. KM ILK COU* DEAD
Wm Famous Advocate of Auto-Buggwtioa
For Illassa
Nancy, France, July 2J?Dr. Kmile
Coue, the famous advocate of auto
suggestion in the treatment of illnesses,
died today.
Dr. Coue called himself a professor
of applied psychology. His fame as
an auto-suggestive healer came after
the European* war when his modest
dwelling in the Hue Jeanne de Arc
was thronged daily with sufferers demanding
his services. Soon he was
called upon to lecture in France, England,
Spalii, Portugal and the United
States. /
Dr.' Coue was president of the Lorraine
Society of Applied Psychology
and author of a brochure, "Self
Mastery by Conscious Auto-Suggestien,"
other papers and magazine articles;
He was sixty-nine years of
age. After thirty years as a druggist
in Troyes, Prof. Coue, upon his
marriage to the daughter of , a noted
horticulturist, made his home here.
He was a modest, cheery little man
and a rapid speaker.? Among his
patients at one time was the late
Marquis (Curaon, of Kedliston.
Prof. Einiie Coue for many years
practiced his thories of auto-suggestion
as a more or less> obscure physician
in Nancy. He became known to
the man in the street, however, by
the development of his formula, "Day
by day in every way, I am getting
better and better."
Dr. Coue visited the United States
in 1923 and became the center of
much controversy among physicians
as to the efficacy of the healing
powers of auto-suggestion. Although
he announced that he had given up
his "day by day" chant, it spread
throughout the country. Dr. Coue
gave many demonstrations of his
methods in American clinics.

AUTO KILLER PAROLED
Will Devote Remainder of His Life
To Prison Welfare Work.
Philadelphia, June 24.?Free today
after serving a little more than three
yearg^n the eastern penitentiary for
killing three persons with his automobile,
Henry G.?Brook, Philadelphia
banker, was resting at the home of
'friends preparatory to taking up prison
welfare work, to which he said
the remainder of his life would be
devoted. ~
Sentenced in April, *1923, to serve
six to ten years, after pleading guilty
*to second degree murder, he was pardoned
yesterday by Governor Pinchot
on recommendation of the state board
of pardons. Brock Was a model prisoner
and did -much prison welfare
work at his own expense. At a cost
of $20,000 he opened two shops where
the convicts sold more than $45,000
of the products of their labor.'
Brock admittedly befuddled with
ale he had drunk at a friend's house
at a suburb, was driving his big motor
car at a rapid rate, struck two
women and a man who were alighting
from a trolley car on March 2, 103$.
'
He had no recollection, he said,'of
what had occurred. He refused to
make a defense, declaring he could
do nothing that would restore the
lives he had taken and that he wanted
to submit to the law. He was 37
years old when sentenced to prison.
Snake Takes on Too Much \
Kinaton, N. C., June 80.?Walter
Biddleman, upper Onslow county
farmer here, today reported the tragic
ending of an undergrown snake's attempt
to swallow a black Minolta
hen. The snake, a whiteoak, or copperhead,
evidently had gone to the
Tien1*? nest to rob it of eggs. There
were none. The snake, desperately
hungry, decided to swallow the hen.
It swallowed her head and neck, was
unable to disgorge and choked to
death. Both the reptile and the fowl
were dead when the farmer came
upon them in the nest. The snake
was 16 inches in length and only
about two inches in diameter, while
the hen, - fully, grown, probably .
weighed four pounds.

c#rhy the South has
e economic health
y - . / - ^m^HEMaag^
SOUND prosperity arises only from the prosperity
of many different types of industry. Sections
of the country that are dependent , upon one business
or one crop sometimes have extraordinary prosperity;
and they also have hard times. But it is those
sections where, production is diversified that have
real economic health.
^ f! f ,mm
The present prosperity of the South springs from
many different sources. This is seen from the record
of freight carried by fh? Southern. Last year this
traffic was made up as follows:
' _ tonnage
Products of agriculture and animals 10.65
, Clay, gravel, sand and stone 10.22
Other mine products and minerals i 3.62
Forest products 16.80
Manufactured products and miscellaneous goods. ,24.03
Merchandise in less than carload shipments 5.78
Just as the diversification of Southern industry has
brought the South economic hesdth^ so also the diversification
of the Southern's traffic should tend to
stabilize its revenues and make its securities attractive
to investors in the South.^
The total wealth of the South has
increased300per cent tines 1900
