Jured woman and five children were in
a large car coming toward Houston and
in turning into Eastwood were struck by
the youth in a small car who waa going
toward Galveston. The Impact caused
the larger car to swerve into one of the
large concrete posts at the entraace of
Eastwood. Mrs. Morley received her la-
juries from broken glass and impact with
the front of the car but Mr. Morley and
the children who were in the back seat

The youth was dazed by the impact but
passersby seeing he wss not badly hart

When they again looked for the youth he
was gone.

GARDONE Italy Sept. 29-Com-mender
Gabriele d'Annunxlo haa be-
come a coiner of words. Aside from
having a special D'Annunxlo dictionary
compiled and published by some enter-
prising Italian publUbera to assist hia
readers In knowing the meaning of
words not found in the ordinary dic-
tionaries the premier Italian poet and
adventurer lets very few weeka pass
without promulgating some new addi-
tion to the Jtallio vocabulary.
The former dictator of Flume is in
a quiet retreat on the lake here. Va-
rious pilgrimage are made to him by
men who were adventurera with him
in the Quarnero enterprise. Some of
them asked him for a new name for
cognac. He said:
There ia but one name for cognac
and that is 'anente' which .signifies
that it U the very force of the wine."
He inquired how the people of Flor-
ence were taking the suggestion that
the name of Florence be changed from
the preaent Italian name of Flrenxe
to Fiorensa meaning "a city of flow-
ers." The three pilgrims stated that
the people of the town welcomed the
idea and may adopt hia proposal.
The poet is doing a little literary
work while there are no more Flume
fields to conquer.
