There was a head-on collision on the Narragansett Pier railroad be- late Monday. in which no serious in- juries resulted, aside from the dam age to rolling stock. This line is own ed and operated by the node Island company and connects at Kingston with the New Haven road for Narra- Ean3ett Pier. and the New Haven op- crates two trains daily over the route, but these trains were not in collision. This stretch of railroad. its engines and cars and all the equipment was built and owned by Rowland G. Haz- ard. In it's more prosperous days of the New Haven road, so the story goes. MT. Hazard was asked by New Haven officials if his road was for sale. and at what price. He came back with the reply: My little rail- road is not for sale at any price; is the New Haven for sale; consider me a plrchaser at fair price,
 The collision occurred at the Peace Dale station, and the engines and tenders of both trains were wrecked.
 
 forty-two passengers escaped with minor cuts and bruises. Nine were seriously injured. The passenger train vras bound towards Kingston and the freight train for NarFagansett Pier. the collision occurring on the curve near the Peace Dale station. The en- gineers on both trains declare the sig nals denoted clear track. Last week point and they were manipulated from the office of Chief Train Dispatcher Samuel E. Gould. who is on vacation. Assistant Dispatcher Archie Briggs, and Harry Gardner, another empleye, were in the office at the time of the collision The matter is being inves- tigated by George A. Carmichael of the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission.
 There were seven cars on the freight train, two carloads of trap rock two carloads of coal, one closed freight car, an oil tank and a carload of gran ite. The passenger train was almost at stop when the accident occurred. while it is said the freight was mak- i.tg fairly good progress.
 The carload of granite was directly behind the locomotive tender on the freight train. and when the crash the tender and into the engine, con- pletely wrecking the tender and en- Rine on the freight. and badly demo,- Ishing the locomotive on the other train.
 The engineer of the locomotive on the freight train was Charles Cooke and the fireman Edward Hall The conductor was John Riley and the brakeman Fred Hall.
 Those in charge of the passenger train were Engineer Frederick E. Whittemore. Fireman John Coe[se, Conductor Michael Brennan, Brake wen Wen.s,h Charles ss,I Holland and Thomas HaEEs, is the most seriously injured 4 pile of trunks fell on him as the crash came. Mrs. Brennan and MT McGrath received sprained wrists
 Edward Harvey, haggaseman at the Peace Dale station, saw the two trains approaching and ran on to the tracks waving red flag in an attempt to prevent the trains from coming to- gether. He was too late. however.

Red Cross, mad your idea is per-
fectly lovely. l am certain you will
not have a bit of trouble in form
ing your club. Just ask all the girls
who would like to join the club 10
"a meeting. and there lay your plans
for work. You can all vote on
what the dues shall be and what
kind of work or play you will take
up. I think that a mixture OF both
is a good thing.
This little girls earnest letter, SO
full Of patriotic feeling, has set me
10 thinking how much school chill
dren can do to aid the Red Cross.
Every school has enough children
in it 10 get up a number who can
afford 10 pay dues for the Red Cross.
And children know how 70 give de-
Hghtful dances and entertainments,
to which admission could be charg-
ed. Then, too, there are some foSms
of Red Cross work that children can
do, ard which women in the Red
Cross worlxrooms would gladly teach.
Doesn't it seem sweet that a little
girl should have thought Of this
plan2 I hope many other girls will
emulate her and write me with what
success their efforts are attended.
There are field clubs, that go out
and study birds and animals and
plants and trees. Those clubs are
delightful. because one learns SO
much about outdoor life and the
knowledge helps one doubly 10 en-
Joy that beautiful existence. I know
Of several Saturday afternoon clubs,
and the girls who prefer outdoor
games and interests to those indoors
would do well 10 think up some such
club. They are sure TO enjoy them
selves, especially when they visit
places where birds may be seen In
mum bers and variety. The outdoor
world offers a liInitless number OF
interests. I heard Prof. Garner, the
African explorer, say that in the
heart of Africa one could never be
lonely. because something interest
ing happened every minute, but that
in a big city one had 10 go out and
seek things of interest. Observant
eyes discover interest everywhere.

Daily Talks By Mary Pick ford
\ PATRIOTS, GLIB

A little girl OF Is years asks me
how she shall 20 about getting up a
club for the Red Cross. She wants
10 ask her schoolfellows TO meet at
her house and organize a Red Cross
club, and arrange 20 meet once a
week at the house OF different mem
hers. She says that she feels she
ought TO do something more for her
country than learning 10 sing pa
triOtic songs.
Hurrah for you. little patriot. 1
think so too.
How 20 go about getting the girls?
Why, just ask them Tell them il is
for the Red Cross. and ask them
what dues they feel able TO contri-
butte. Then you should elect one
girl as treasurer to take care Of the
money, and another as secretary to
send out the invitations and keep a
report if you want one, Of each
meeting. And there should be a
president, and as many vice presi-
dents as you like.
I think the idea is splendid. The
girls dues could be small, but you
know the old song about Little
Drops of Water" which make the
raighty ocean. You might induce
some Of your grown-up friends to
send checks TO the Red Cross. There
is nothing like setting an example
of patriotism.
Wouldn't it be nice if the club
learned how TO knit and went to
work and knitted sweaters for the
soldiers? / saw some little girls.
only eight years of age, last sum-
mer. who were knitting very good
sweaters for soldiers. Then, too,
there are lots of games you could
play. After the club is formed and
the girls hold their first meeting
you can all plan how you will spend
the time at the weekly meetings.
There are games that can be played
better in one house than in another,
and there never is any trouble about
having a good time where a lot of
young girls are together. You might
even sometimes get up entertain
ments for the Red Cross. There is
no greater need than help for the
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1917-12-04

never did a child any harm 10 black
boots, and there is no reason why,
if any street urchin can become ex-
pert at the work, your precocious-
or unprecocious-chil should not
do likewise. In the average family
more than % cents is spent a week
in shoe shines and shoe-shine tips.
II you let some child in the fam
lily do this. he will probably be
able to make as much as his former
allowance, after all expenses are
paid. There are many tasks, such
as cleaning the snow, carrying out
the ashes and kitchen refuse that,
if properly supervised. can be done
without injuring a youngster in the
least. Then there are things about
the house that he can sell. 1t is
some trouble TO keep them and col
lect them, but that trouble is what
he is being paid for. Old news
papers. if kept in neat piles, are
worth a considerable sum TO the
junk man. Old umbrellas, shoes,
rubbers. bottles, and even tin cans
also have their specific price If
they are carefully collected from the
house and kept out of the way, there
is no reason why you should not let
some child in your house realize a
little from the sale OF these things.

10 ten-cent loaves of bread in a
week, or it would make up for the
increased price of eggs OF milk by
careful calculating.
Suppose, then. that you do cut
out the children's allowances. Be
sure, then, TO show them how they
can make up for this loss. 1t will
be strange if. with a little help. they
do not more than make up the loss
and come out considerably ahead.
There are always a lot of ways
the children can make money
around their homes. There are tasks
they may perform for you, and thus
save paying any one else for doing
them-tasks which you would not
feel justified in asking them to per-
form without some sort Of remun-

youngsters would feel very much
abused if they had to perform with
