FATHER AND MOTHER KILLED
 WHEN TRUCK SKIDS INTO AUTO
FATALITY OCCURRED SATURDAY AFTERNOON ON PROVIDENCE PIKE THREE MILES THIS SIDE
 OF CHEPACHET
Mir and Mrs H. B. Miller Were Returning From Thanksgiving
 Vi.it-Truck Driver Held On Charge Of Mansaughter

roadway containing curious people who had heard of the tragedy. officials and newspaper men. Just of the roadway. on the north side, nosed against some oak saplings. stood the Marmon car in which the members of the Miller family had but a short time before been conversing, laughing, talking and discussing the pleasures of their Thanksgiving visit in Provi- dence. The ear showed few marks of the collision except for the broken windshield, steering post and the top, which was torn completely off. It stood right side up in the edge of the wood.
 Only few yards down the pike to- ward Chepaehet stood the large truck with it's high platform which passed over the hood of the Marmon and dealt the death blow to the two oecu- pants of the front seat. Underneath the floor of the trucks platform were to be seen fresh splinters, the only signs that the big machine showed of having figured in the sad affair.
 In the center of the roadway, hold ing up all traffic. stood the blaek-bod- jed hearse drawn by two coal black horses. It was quietly raining as the two bodies were placed in the back of the hearse and the oak leaves, heavy with the moisture, hung down as if overcome by the sight for which they l had formed the background. One l body was in wicker basket while the other was wrapped in black cover ing. The doors were closed and as i the hearse solemnly started onward traffic again resumed normal condi- tions. Many driver who saw the re- suits of driving on the treaeherous as- phalt ran his car at slower rate of speed than before the accident im- pressed him with the grave possibili- i ties of fast driving.
 The driver of the big truck was talk en to Harrisville and arraigned in the district court on charge of man. slaughter He entered a plea of not guilty and was held for trial in bonds of S5.00o in each case. One of the firm which owns the truck was accept. ed as surety and he was released from custody.
 The members of the Miller family were returning to New Jersey after spending the holiday in Providence and would have passed through Put nam. Mr Miller is connected with thu New York office of the Scotia Wooler Mills of Woonsocket He was mar ried about 26 years ago. Besides Margaret there are two other ehildrer surviving, Duncan, 22. and DeForest 24. The sons came on from Plainfiele to claim the bodies.

Mir. and Mrs. NJ. B. Miller of Plain field. N. J.. were killed instantly and their daughter. Margaret. aged l4. es- capped without injury when a large auto truck skidded into the pleasure car in which they were riding towards Putnam, Saturday afternoon, The ac- cident happened between and o. clock on the Providence. turnpike a little over three miles west of Che pachet. Both Mir. and Mrs. Miller had their necks broken.
 The fatality occurred at turn in the roadway. From what could be learned of the details of the accident it appeared that the pleasure ear was coming towards Putnam and the large truck, owned by l.. F. Winward X Son, Fall River, and operated by Ade- lard St. Pierre, was going towards Pr. aence. When the two machines met at the turn the driver of the truck apparently applied his brake to slow down in passing the other car. 1t was raining and the asphalt was slippery The rear end of the truck skidded to the left and the platform of the heavy car cleared the hood of the pleasure auto. crashed through the windshield and struck both Mir. and Mrs. Miller, who could not escape on account ot the back of the seat, even If they had had time. The force of the impact was spent. and Miss Miller, on the back seat, was not hit. The body of Mir. Miller was thrown from the car, but that of Mrs Miller remained on the front seat.
 i The pike is well travelled thorough fare, and it was only few minutes when ear came along to render as I sistanee. A quick trip was made to l Chepaehet. the nearest village. where Dr. Robert Wilcox, medical examiner, was notified. He immediately went to the scene, bu. found that death had been instantaneous. He gave per mission for the removal of the bodies to undertaking rooms in Chepachet. The daughter became hysterical and
 was placed in an automobile and talk en back to her aunt's home in Provi- dence.
 | It was after 3 o'clock in the after noon before the last act was perform ed at the scene where the accident happened. There was gathering of automobiles lining the side of the

NATION OF COFFEE DRINKERS

The coffee propagandists need not fear that because the prospect is bright for resumption of the liquor traffic coffee-drinking will cease to be less generously indulged in. As a people we are incurable coffee addicts, and when we are not coffee addicts we are tea addicts. Nor do we hesitate to mix the drinks. Coffee-drinking and tea-drinking are amiable occupations which we cannot we'll afford to quit. The social amenities would become dull, indeed, if we could not sip our tea and coffee with no thought for time or quantity, Despite the injune- tion of physicians that we are in dan gerger of overtaxing our nervous sys- tems through over-liberal indulgence in these family beverages we have found that the slight exhilaration they produce is the very thing our systems crave. Under the stress of business and other exactions we feel the need of gentle stimulant; many of us feel that we need something stronger. Those of us who are content with merely being toned up to the point where mental dissipations flee and clarity of vision is restored find com forting treat in the coffee cup and the tea cup
 There is much to be said for the af- ternoon coffee chat and the pink tea. How our family and wider social life demands coffee is seen, to put the sub ject on commercial basis, in the fact that coffee imports in eight months of this year were valued at $I56, 900 ,000, and that in ten months the imports totaIed 1,140,000, ,000 pounds. Never before has so much coffee entered this country. The per capita consumption is so high that in this calendar year it probably will have exceeded the quan- tity purchased and used in any other year. This year the United States is consuming more than half the worlds coffee crop, which in 1918'19 was close to 14,000,000 bags of l32 pounds each Evidently coffee is one of the "ties that bind.

With peculiar personal and pardon able pride, it is noted that perhaps Eastford has not for fifty years re- ceived such thorough commercial awakening as during the past week, and all on account of the spacious iit- tie Department Store which opened its doors to a generous and appreciative public From early Tuesday morning until late Saturday night clerks were busy as bees waiting on customers and extending careful courtesies to visit ors and prospective buyers. It was in deed a red-letter event in the annals of Eastford. at last resurrected from it's Rip Van Wrinkle sleep.

Dear Bess: Your letter received a
few days ago and the handkerchlefs,
razor blades ard the papers of which
Pm awfully glad to get, enjoy reading
The Herald and News very much. |
will try and give you full account OF
myself since the signing of the arms
.tice.
Starting from the little town OF
Aurbes where we were stationed for
about one month, we travelled through
one time no mans land, small French
villages that had been completely de-
stroyed by shell fire. We spent the
night at Orley, continuing our jour
ney through some of the most import
ant towns of France and Luxemburg,
namely Spincourt, Longuyou, Esch,
Altzigrin, Rollingen and Pettigrew,
where we spent Christmas day. En-
joyed the day very much. Had sea
turkey for dinner, better known as
salmon. Here is where l had very
nice room, good bed to sleep in and
an old Dutch lady who could speak
English and made the best coffee and
cake you most ever ate, so you can
readily see that this was more home
like to me since crossing the pond.
/ eaying this town on our way back
to France we passed through the fol
lowing towns: Bettringer, Serrouvliie
Fleeville, which was correctly named
Mars Ia Tour, Herricourt, finally
reaching Lagny where we turned in
all of our stock and rolling equipment
Boarding the train, riding the second
section of which we were very lucky
to get as the third section had head
ON collision killing fifteen and wound
ing thirty or forty seriously. Guess
it will be my luck to fall off the gang
plank. Anyway we came by way OF
Neufchateau, Bologne, Tours and La
Maus, finally reaching Mezingers
where we are now located. so if you
have a map of France you will be able
to trace our journey in. the army OF
occupation.
After all of this l have been ENJOY
ins the best of health with the excep
tien of few bad colds and the coolies
which are very bad comrades, but
their days are numbered now as we
are 1expected to go back to La Maus
and await orders to sail to the good
old i. S. A., the only and best coun
try IN the world. SO here is hoping
this will find all well at home and IN
perfect health. With a whole lots OF
love to you all,
Your brother.
