Vincent Bendix got on famously as long as he stuck to tinkering, inventing and fussing with machinery. He did w stationed at Tonawanda, N. Y., half way between Niagara Falls' and Buffalo. That how he found out about River road. River road was dangerous because of the war cars sped along It at night. But speeding cars weren't the only danger, folks said. It was the duty of Jim and another lad Roscoe Doane to patrol that road in a car. Their duty was to prevent the smuggling of aliens and of contra band goods, the principal contraband In that day being liquor. "Before I took the job," says Jim, "people advised me against It They claimed the bootleggers were desperate and would shoot on sight I found this to be untrue. But I did face death In three violent forms, in about as many minutes on one particular night of my service." 1 Thit banjo-eye- d fellow might be Moon Mullint in the flesh, but it's really a n comedian.

Fix's Ferry was their starting point They hang around there until about 11:15, and then started to drive toward Tonawanda. They had gone about two miles when they came to a point where the road narrowed down and the Erie canal ran alongside it for a distance. An auto with glaring headlights was approaching.

If you're ever motoring to Niagara Falls at night, don't go by the River road. That comes from Jim McDermott of New York City. Some ox you fellows who have been to that address before may recognize it as the Men's Night Court. Well, that's where you'll find Jim. He's the fingerprint expert there.

He was 17, not long from Chicago, where he had been a telegraph messenger boy. An old swamper around the place, who understood machinery, had instructed him in the working of the power plant and had encouraged Us laboratory work. There waa a one-ey- ed I Their car seemed to soar In the road for a moment or two. coming straight down the center of the road and it was coming plenty yelled to Roscoe, "Give this fellow all the room you can, or he'll hit ui." Roscoe was already turning over on the grass at the side ox the road. But the headlights came rushing on. Then BANG! The car hit them! Says Jim: "Our car seemed to soar In the air for a moment or two. As we were hit, Roscoe jumped to get out and landed In my lap. The left front wheel of the big sedan had caught our front wheel. It lined our light car completely off the road and swung It around. At the same time, It turned ever and landed bottom up, diagonally across the narrow roadway." Jim says that during the brief moment while they were turning over, just one question presented itself to his mind. That was: "Will I be dead when we hit?" But down there, trapped under the overturned car, Jim found to his surprise that he wasn't dead. fast Jim The Weight of the Car Seemed to Increase Momentarily. "Roscoe was on top of me," he says, "with his back on my face, and he was doing some straggling. I couldn't move. My shoulders and the back of my neck were on the road, and I was still on the seat, albeit upside down. My back ached and the weight of the car, crushing down on me, was Increasing mo- mentarily." He was in that position when suddenly he heard Roscoe let out an oath. "Here's a guy doing 50 and no lights," he cried. "He'll hit am sure as hell." Jim couldn't see a thing, but it was true, he knew. Their car was lying right across the road. A man going at that speed, with no lights, could hardly help but hit them. Says Jim: "For the second time, I thought the end had come. I could see only a few feet ahead through the wreckage, but I could bear the roar of the approaching car. I gritted my teeth and struggled to get out, but I couldn't move. Roscoe was making my position more uncomfortable every second. I shouted out, Where Is he?' At the same time I heard the roar of the motor diminish and Roscoe yelled back. 'He's gone.' " Two narrow escapes. And a third still to come. As the night grew quiet again, Jim discovered that their headlights were still burning and the motor was still running. Suddenly He Felt Something Drip Down on His Face. And then, suddenly, he felt something drip down on his face. "My first thought was that It was blood," he says, "but that couldn't be. This fluid was cold. I straggled to get my hand to my face, but before I got it there, I knew it was gasoline. It was coming from the tank Just outside the dashboard, over the engine. I had faced death twice before and now I was facing It again In a more dreadful form. Our engine was still running. At any moment the car might burst into flames!" It didn't occur to Jim to shut off the switch. He didn't know how to drive a car. Momentarily he expected an explosion Are agony and death. And then, all at once, he heard voices. Someone was saying, "All on this side, now." The car was lifted oil them, and half a dozen men were pulling him out A bunch of army officers, returning from Buffalo to Fort Niagara, had come along and found them. The car that hit them had run through a ditch and crashed Into a tree. It contained a suitcase full of counterfeit liquor labels, but the driver was gone. He had walked down the road and telephoned ahead for help. The second car had Just managed to get by them because a farmer's wife, who had seen the crash, ran to the road with a lantern. That second car got by with barely two inches to spare. But It didn't stop. Cars without lights along that road never did. Jim was laid up three weeks with a wrenched back, but Roscoe Doane got off with a few bruises. But even so, Jim doesn't think it's particularly safe at night on that River road.
