HORSE DRAGs PLUcKY WOMAN.
But Animal Finally Got Away and Made
Long RUN Woman Not Hurt

An elderly owman who refused to di-
unknown, had miraculous escape from
injury yesterday afternoon, when the
horse driven by her became frightened
at a passing electric car on North Main
street, darted up Keith avenue, throwing
the occupant OF the team heavily to the
ground and dragging her distance Of
some fifty feet before she was finally
released from her ENHANCEMENT with the
reins. The woman apparently escaped
without injuries, being none the worse
for the general shake-up received.
The accident happened about $3.50
o'clock, when the traffic on the street
was congested and when the streets were
lined with pedestrians. When the horse
SHE'D at the passing car and jumped
into q gallop, the woman refined her
steed into Keith avenue Rounding the
corner, the sleigh struck a pile of snow,
the vehicle. She was thrown
TO the ground but chung to the reins.
After banging up against two telephone
posts and dragging the woman dis
lance of fifty feet, the steed freed itself
and started on along hike up Keith ave-
nue. and then down Summer street The
was finally stopped at the low
er end of Summer street.
Collecting merchandise and shattered
parts OF the sleigh strewn along Keith
avenue the woman awaited for nearly
a half-hour the return OF the wandering
horse. In the meantime crowd OF
about loo people gathered around, and
assistance was gladly lent. BY their
aid the rig was mended sufficiently to
permit the woman to continue her home
ward trip.

THREE FAMILIES
WITHOUT A HOME
Large House at Bellows Falls Was De-
stroyed by Fire, Cause Probably
Being an 0verheated Furnace.

Bellows Falls, Feb. ga three story
house on Laurel street, owned by Mrs
Adeline Ball, was destroyed by fire yes
terday and the families of w. A. Kings
ton, Henry Hanscombe and r. II. Thorn
as barely escaped with sufficient clothing
TO protect them from the cold. The
thermometer registered IA degrees be-
low zero and the firemen had difficulty
in fighting the flames. The fire was
caused by an oyerheated furnace, it is
thought.
The occupants lost all their personal
property, and two dogs owned by the
Thomas and Kingston families were suf-
located. G. l.. Bacon OF Boston, manag-
er of the Charlestown Office of the Bos-
ton Dairy Co., who came here Tuesday
night to visit his sister, Mrs. Hanscombe,
lost a good part of his clothing. Yes
terday afternoon fremen recovered a
gold watch which was under his pillow
and it was still going.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanscombe lost seven
trunks packed with theatrical costumes.
Mr.. Hanseombe formerly played with
Keene Miller and Mrs. Hanscombe took
the part Of Squire Bartlett's wife in
Way Down East" for many years.
The loss to the building is about ST.
600, partially covered by insurance. Mr..
Thomas carried some insurance, but the
other families carried none.
When it was seen the house could
not be saved the firemen devoted their
efforts to saving the plant of the Inter-
Ocean Shirt Co, wooden structure less
than II feet from the house. Although
several streams Of high pressure water
were played on the building all night
three broken window panes is the only
damaged.

realizes the responsibility of bringing
children into the world.
1t is very easy to scold and to repri-
mand and it is hard to enlighten and
instruct. Let me put few pertinent
questions to charity workers in gem
eral and to Reader:
Have you ever done anything to en-
tighten the poor and ignorant women
of the land concerning means and
methods of birth control?
Have you ever tried to arouse them
to sense Of responsibility in this re-
spect Before you have done this
have you any right to reprimand any
woman who, because of her igno-
rance, has borne children into world
of misery?
Ignorance of these things is gen
orally the reason that children are
borne of poor and diseased parents,
and thus from their birth destined to
a life in misery, to swell the army of
the unemployed, to fill the slums, the
prisons, the insane asylums and the
houses of prostitution. Indifference
and slovenliness may be the reason in
few cases, but in very few. The
church has always taught and still
teaches that babies are sent into the
world by God And thousands of
women of the working class believe
it. j.

FOOT BALL CODES ARE WEAK
Recent Seasons Have Shown Up
Defects in the Game Rule.
THE SAFETY AND ToUcHBAcK
A PerusaI of the Regulations After

Decision of n Play Unde-

NEW YORK, Dec. H. Recent foot ball

weaknesses of the playing code which
had hitherto escaped detection, and the
season just closed has been no exception.
Two seasons back bounding ball over
the crossbar at Princeton on an at
tempted field goal set the officials guess
ing as to whether or not the kick should
count. Last year weakness in the for
ward pass rule was brought n light when
the teams began to "gorund" the hall
after It was certain that no forward pass
could be made The rule makers, before
another season rolled around. applied the
proper remedy to both of these freak sit

to ponder over "f
Some Question. tt
What is a safety and what is touch
back? Up to the time of the Yale-Har-
ward game foot ball followers thought
they understood just where one differed
from the other. After that game sur
vey of the rule book led to the impression
that the difference is not always to be
determined by the wording Of the play
ing code. The ball that Mahan ftimbled
and kicked over his goal line. to fall on
II later. was a touchback according TO
one section Of the playing code. and 1t
was safety according to another. II
has generally been accepted in foot ball
circles as a safety according 70 the spirit
of the rule. but Referee Tufts had plenty
to back up his argument In the shape of
the touchback section of the rule book
Whether Yale was entitled to two points
or nothing means little for this particu-
lar game but II such a play had come a
week previous IN the Brown-IIarvard
game 1t would have made quite differ
ence.
Sh0nId Wear Numbers. -1'i
AS the curtain Is now drawn on the
1914 season, 1t is to be hoped that the
rules committee makes a New Years
resolution not to let another season go
by without compelling teams to wear
numbers The system has been tried by
several big teams. notably Princeton
Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown and others
It has been well received everywhere and
has not injured the playing strength of
these teams. But there are several elev-
ems which decline TO be progressive. The
! only way to treat their cases is to make
