Little Ruth Allen was struck by a
bicycle, ridden by a small boy on the
sidewalk, last Thursday and sustained
injuries to her head through contact
with the cement surface which for a
time threatened to prove fatal. She
was unconscious for many hours but
is now improving as fast as could be
expected. The village marshal will
hereafter arrest all persons found rid
ing bicycles on the sidewalk.
Robins and other song birds are
more numerous in Princeton this
spring than at any time we can re-
member, and the reasons are that peo-
pie give them better protection than
formerly and boys with catapults and
small rifles are no.longer permitted to
worry the birds. Birds naturally
flock to localities where they are un-
molested and the greater the protec-
ton the larger will be the number of
the feathered visitors.
While fishing in the turbulent wa
tiers OF the Rum on Monday evening
and occupying rowboat of doubtful
stability Professor Hayes and Ken
meth Umbehock er met disaster. The
story told is that when the unreliable
craft was passing over very deep
hole in the river it suddenly sprung a
leak, that the professor and Kenneth
baled water with their hats but this
failed to better the situation and
finally, the boat plunged head on into
the depths. Under the circumstances
there was nothing else to do but swim
for shore, although the water was
surging, foaming and icy and the un-
dertow terrific. However, they landed
safely and bribed small boy who
was passing to say nothing about the
occurrence, but the little whiffet gave
the story away. Aside from two mince
pies, quart of cold tea, fishing para.
phernalia and the dilapidated boat
worth about Is cents, there was nc
loss. But the adventures felt particu.
larly chilly as they FASTENED home, via
crosslots, and poured several ounces OF
eplzootlc medicinal preventative dowr
their threats.
