The handing out to young girl readers of sex books In the different branch libraries was decried at the meeting. Trustee Harry G.

Miss J. F. Hume, the chief llbiarian, was requested to Instruct all the branch librarians to keep the sex books in a separate place, where only the ones in charge will have access to them. It was announced that Trustee Dan C. Beard the author-artist ot Flushing, had presented to the library, for the Long Island collection, a bust of Voltaire, which was tiBed by Mr.

Injury last evening at about 7 o'clock when they collided with the Soldiers and Sailors monument which otands on a grassy mound in the center of Hillside avenue and faces Bergen avenue, Jamaica.

One of the men In the machine was injured, sustaining severe cuts about the right eye from the broken glass of the windshield. The injured man was Gus Steckel, a well-known builder of Bay Ridge. The machine was operated by A. F. Lefgren, the owner, of Thirty-seventh street and Cnurch avenue, Flatbueh.

"The names ot the other two men in the machine could not be obtained. The auto party had been visiting some friends at the east end of Jamaica, and were on their way home, going In a westerly direction along Hillside avenue. Fast time was being made, and all went well until Bergen avenue was reached. Those in the machine were not familiar with Jamaica, and they did not know the danger lurking there. Before any of the men in the machine realized what the trouble was the auto had climbed the grassy mound and then went off to the side and down again to the roadway, landing right side up.

The crash could be heard for blocks, and many frightened residents nearby came running out to view the damage. Steckel went to a drug store and then to the home of Dr. P. M. 'Wood, nearby, to have some stitches taken in a bad cut under the eye.

Strangely enough, the automobile was but slightly damage'1 I would like to become acquainted with the expert engineers who consider our po-rplant a joke.

The saw hit Zebora on the left side of the nose. Then It plowed up the nose, passing along the narrow strip of bone between the bridge of the nose and the eye; and plowed acros3 the top of his head, falling to the ground behind him. The eye was not injured, so accurately did the saw cut in that spot, but evidently the cruel implement wobbled niter it left the man face, for on top of the head the wound was wide, ragged and deep, so deep, in fact, that the brain wa3 exposed, and so wide that Dr.

Benjamin could lay two fingers in it. From the spot where the saw first struck Zebora on the nose to the spot in the back of his head, where the last tooth took a spiteful bite at Zebora's skull and went viciously humming off in the distance, the wound measured nearly eight inches in length. The skull was almost literally cleaved in twain. "How a man could get such a wound as that and live as much as ten minutes without medical attendance is in deed a mystery," said Dr. Benjamin.

The accident happened before 3 o'clock and it was nearly 4 before the doctor could get there. No hospitals being near and there being no way to get the patient to one quickly, Dr. Benjamin started in all alone to dress the wound. "He sat in a chair and greeted me cheerfully when I entered the room," paid Dr. Benjamin.

'Not much the matter with me, I guess, he told me, laughing. And every time I took a stitch he said, wincing, 'There, that's in the right Zebora also had a wound three inches long, cut to the bone, In his left arm.
