Smashes Auto But Keeps His Neck By BILLIE THOMAS DICK LEIBERT, who broadcasts organ programs through WJAS every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday morning, skidded on a slippery brick pavement returning from playing golf last Sunday and smacked into another car and a concrete culvert.

He came out of it with no scars, but a slightly wrenched back. THE WJAS ANNOUNCER made mention of this on his Monday program. Tuesday, Dick received a letter from a listener in Butler, Pa. "Dear Mr. Leibert," said the letter.

"I was very sorry to hear about your wrenching your.back in the auto smash. I had hoped that you had broken your neck." i' StfSBB Here Are Just Two of the Hundreds of Exceptional VALUES That Are Offered in Our Great Mill-End Sale!

DUFF ASSAILS COURTjJELAYS Two Years Behind Schedule, Candidates Says at Exchange Ciub Luncheon Delay in the work of the Common Pleas Court was pronounced "unconscionable" by J. Boyd Duff, can didate for a nomination for Judge of that court, in a speech yesterday before the Exchange Club in the William Penn Hotel. "The court is more than two years behind in its schedule," Duff said. "To enforce a right, or redress an injury, if the court takes two years to do ti, or to start to do it, gives very little satisfaction.

You feel any social agency which takes that much time gives very little satisfaction. The courts here are rather a time-killing, expensive, nuisance' than what they should be: a convenience and a protection. "The cause is not our laws or that judges desire this condition. "In connection with other lawyers I helped work out, and now advocate, some modern methods which will entirely remove the congested and time-killing methods of our courts. "The plan I propose and advocate does not involve any radical changes in any step or operation.

It does not require new laws. It does not require additional judges. It does not require adidtional taxes. "It is based wholly upon methods now in use subtantially in those other courts which, wearying of a like condition, succeeded in cleaning out the ancient barnacles, and by usin? up-to-date methods, succeeded in obtaining courts which do full, speedy, convenient and effective justice. The plan has the ap proval of many members of this bar.

"The plan is simply a closer co- ordination of the various steps or operations an da cutting out of most steps and intervals which now eat up nothing but time. "This is accomplished by, in fact, using the judges interchangeably continuously and every day for all necessary judicial functions. If adopted the congestion of some two years and the current year's work will be dispatched in about a year. It will then be possible to get a decision in a case within less than three months after filing in 99 per cent of cases." BLOND COLLAPSES IN NORTH SIDE CAFE Taken to Hospital; Sleeping Potion in Purse Identity Mystery Collapsing at breakfast in a North Sidt restaurant, an unidentified blend girl was taken to Allegheny General Hospital.

It was durine an engagement at the Arlington Roof in the Capitol that a boy friend of Kate Smith tried his best to get Dick to let Kate sing a couple of numbers with his band.

Dick had gone through this same troub'e before, and succeeded in getting out of it. A year later. Kate returned to Washington and was guest of honor one night at the roof, just after re- turning from singing in "Honey i New York. EIBERT quit the dance band Washington theater some six years ago. After a short engagement he came to Pittsburgh, where he really made good.

Then followed a home-town-boy-makes-gocd return to Washington. And then back to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and then Pittsburgh again. This may sound a little complicated, but I believe I have it all straight. D1 ICK LIKES to sit in the sun in the summer, but says he sort of shrive's all up in the winter.

Eclipi Pittsburgh Bright Lights Outshine Shooting Star Display MILLIONS of shooting stars were in the sky above Pittsburgh last night. But, as with many other astronomical phenomena, city dwellers couldn't see them. Bright lights of the streets and signs prevent sight of the annual display when the earth's orbit intercepts that of the planet Per-seids. No attempts are being ma4e at the Allegheny Observatory to witness the lights, although persons in the country can see them with the naked eye. f5S in a id in ah fCD ua.
