 Yes"
 See that low hanging awning rod, over there?'
 Yes"
 Well. the bump is the product of a collision between my head and the rod. I wish you would say something about it in the paper"

 At various stores on Main street there are opportunities for such acci' dents this summer. Due care is not being taken to keep awning rods pro- truding over the sidewalks high enough to clear the heads of persons of aver age height.
