The R. H. Bowman Ford two-
door sedan, driven by Ralph Bow-
man, struck Mrs. Stella Wulf, 48,
R.F.D. 1, Cedar Rapids, and fatally
injured her about five miles west
of Cedar Rapids Wednesday morn-
ing at 9:55 a.m. as the Bowmans
were enroute to Ames to attend the
graduation of Miss Ivyl Bowman
at lows State College and bring her
houle.
Mrs. \Vulf had just stepped from
the c'~r of her husband, Henry
Wulf, on the south side of the pav-
ing and was crossing to the mail
box on the north side to get a bot-
tle of milk. Ralph swerved his car
to the right when Mrs. Waif started
to cross the paving and struck her
with the left fender near the edge
of the paving. The Bowman car,
which was traveling an estimated
50 miles an hour, went into the
ditch on the right hand side but
none of the occupants were injured.
In the ear were Mr. Bowman and
son Ralph and Charles Ewall, a Coe
student from benison who had
been picked up at the west edge
of Cedar Rapids.
Mr. and :Mrs. Wulf had driven
out of the driveway about four rods
west of the house in which they
were residing on the north side of
the highway. When in front of
the house and opposite the mail
box, the ear was stopped and Mrs.
Wulf is believed to have stepped
from behind the car into the path
oi" the Bowman ear without looking
in that direction. A neighbor who
witnessed the accident saw her
look in the other direction.
The point at which the accident
occurred is a short distance west of
the intersection of the old Lincoln
Highway route into Cedar Rapids
and the new highway built last
~ade last week by the Mrs. C. I.. Rich, :Dr. and Mrs. H.summer•

ACCESSORIES ARE
STOLEN FROM CARS
Petty thievery broke out in
Mount Vernon last Friday night
when thieves took accessories and
property left in two automobiles
parked outside of the high school
during the Mount Vernon-Marion
basketball game. The hub caps,
an electric clock, the gear shift
knob, steering wheel coverand
cigarette lighter were taken from
the Glen Rogers car while two
jackets and a fur coat were stolen
from the Roy Martin car.
The thieves evidently started
from the rear of the building and
worked around towards the front•
The Roger's cat" was parked at the
`bend near the south-east corner of
tbe school lot and was completely
stripped but the car next to it was
not touched although open and
carrying more accessories than the
Rogers car. Ed Gill made the
rounds a'bottt 9:15 and his arrival
may have scared the thieves so that
they did not continue further to-
wards the front. The Martin car
was parked behind the school
]louse.
It in advised that all cars left
outside in Mount Vernon should be
locked, especially where a great
number of cars are parked at one
place.
Expect To Finish Graveling
Near Rosedale School Today
Graveling of the road north from
Ink's Pond to Rosedale school will
be completed today when the
stretch from Otto Fisher's to the
school house is finished. Graveling
of the Stepanek-Baird road and the
.4 of a mile west of the Linn Grove
church has been completed. About
30 loads remain to be hauled to
the PWA project west from Paral-
ta church.
The Linn supervisors made the
road from the county line west of
Martelle west to the McShane hill
a county trunk road on Wednesday,
subject to the approval ,by the
Highway Commission. This means
that the maintenance will 'be paid
from a county fund rather than
township funds and that stop signs
will be posted on the road•
accident and being informed there
was no reason for remaining long-
er, Mr. Bowman and Ralph contin-
ued on to Ames and brought Miss
Ivyl home Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Wulf was born Nov. 10, 1890

her husband, three sons, Kenneth
and John Mathis, of Vinton and

Lisbon is going to the Christmas
holiday in the full spirit of the
season. The outdoor decorations
fare conducive to harmony with the
glad season. Scarcely are neater
and more appropriate decorations
seen than those that grace the Lis-
bon main street. In fact transients
name them the daintiest and pret-
tiest of any community through
which they pass. The beautiful
large silver star is certainly a ~von-
derful expression of the spirit that
inspires the season and 'below the
twenty electroliers dressed in green
and set in twinkling lights is as
splendid as anywhere.
House windows and door yards
throughout the town also glow and
express the joy that is present
everywhere in our little city.
All these make a beautiful path-
way to the Christmas festival this
Sunday. Special settings come
Christmas eve at the churches
Programs will be presented at the
Federated and Methodist churches
and at St. John's Catholic a mid-
night mass. The three large audi-
toriums will aceomodate near a
thousand and will be packed.
A pu~blic party will be held on
the streets and in the stores on Sat-
urday afternoon. Santa Claus will
be here and will bring a nut-candy
gift for each child. It will be a
juvenile affair and such affairs al-
ways interest the eiders.
The stores of Lisbon are enjoy-
ing a fine holiday business. These
centers are regular repositories of
Christmas wares, and the remain-
ing days will be busy ones for the
I merchants and glad places for citiz-
ens of the community to wind up
their Christmas shopping.

Junior Simpson
Will Have 22nd
Blood Transfusion
usual disease, Nephrosis, which is
known to the medical profession
only in theory. He was stricken
with this unusual condition on
February 7, 1938. The first symp-
toms were found when his mother
noticed a marked swelling of his
feet when undressing him after a
trip up town, He was immediately
taken to a physician and to Dr.
Jeans, member of the staff at the
University hospital whose private
patient he has 'been since.
The disease causes a lowering of
the serum protein in the .blood and
'reduces what is known as the col-
loidal osmotic pressure allowing
the ~ater in the blood stream to
get into the tissues and produce
swelling• Such a condition pre-
vents the water from being carried
in the blood•
,Mrs. Simpson will furnish the
blood for the transfusion tomorrow.
She has given blood for one other.
~VIr. Simpson has given blood for 14
of the transfusions and his sister
Miss LeNore Simpson for two. If
the blood for the transfusions had
to be purchased it would cost $25
per pint. They feel very fortunate
that they are able to furnish this
themselves. Besides these, Junior
has been given two blood serum
transfusions, and two of Lyophile
serum, which was ordered by air
express from Los Angeles, Calif.
The price for these two transfu-
sions for the serum alone was
$125.00. Junior is kept on a strict-
ly high protein diet.
At one time during his illness he
carried as much as 23½ pounds
of fluid but on ,Monday of this week
the amount was reduced to 7
pounds, which his parents say is a
good indication his condition is
improved.
There is one other case of the
same illness In the University hos-
pital at Iowa City and one in the
Iowa Methodist hospital in Des
Moines.

ernment last 'week. He is assisting
