Buckland by Captain D. J. Twomey after Investigating the case.
 According to Mir. Buckland's account of the accident, he was driving his car towards Norwich and as he came near the corner of Durham street, saw little girl standing on the sidewalk to his right.

LESSON IN HELPFULNEss
 FROM BURBASK,s WORK


 At the 4:15 meeting at the local Y. M. c. A. Sunday afternoon, moving pie lures were shown; Cne reel showing our American soldiers returning from France, and the other reel showing Luther Bur bank and his most wonderful develop ment in flowers fruits and vegetables. The lsRer picture was a distinctly inter esting film, and illustrated in tangible way what a man can accomplish when he sets himself to a great task.
 One of the wonderful parts of the pie ture was that which showed the devel- opment of the cactus from an ugly un- attractive thing to an article of food. Between the reels Secretary Edwin Hill gave a brief talk, and among other things said, What Luther Burbank has done for humanity is in a sense a sug- gestion of what every man can do if he will. Not that we can all expect to change for the better the flowers, fruits and vegetables, for Luther Burbank is well nigh alone in that realm, but we can like him, do something to make the the world better place in which to live; he perfected the rose and made 1t more beautiful and fragrant. So we can make things more pleasant for those about us He took the bitterness out of certain fruits and made them not only fit to eat, but made them real relish {; we can in many ways help to take the bitterness out of life. We can do this by speaking the pleasant word instead of the unkind word: We can by little acts of kindness encourage those about us We men can contribute much more happiness to the home life than we do even our looks may cause sorroR or hap piness. There are many avenues in life where we can be of real help to those about us, so let us like the great Scien- tist. Luther Burbank, spend much time and thought in the line of improving conditions about us. Robert ". Otis of fciated at the piano, and accompanied the singing.
