HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS.

There have been repeated instances in this as well as other cities where shock Ing accidents have occurred in the streets which ought to serve as lessons of such severity as to bring home to each and every used of the highway the neo essity of giving due consideration to the dangers of the street.
 In these days Of heavy, high powered rars capable of much speed there are reasons for realizing that due attention should be given to something more than getting between two points in the short est space of time, and at the same time there is also a responsibility that rests not upon a part of but all the users of the streets and highways, to see that life is not nsedlessly sacrificed.
 All accidents are not avoidable, but ,hers is a large proportion of them that could be prevented with a due amount ot care, proper consideration for others md by showing full respect far the in creased dangers which exist today in .he streets because of the large and in- ,ressing number of automobiles.
 Let it be realized that the street is not place Of safety for either young or ald and let due precautions be taken in making use of the highways and much 'il be done to avoid many of the dis .ressing accidents, provided those who are driving the machines that have SC greatly increased the danger of the high gay are displaying an equal amount of caution and not taking he view that hey have the right Of way and every body must look out for them or suffer ne consequences. r. cannot he disre. -arded that each a,d everyone has 4 light 10 be in the highway under prope, conditions. Unfortunately it is a fae+ hat there is too little thought given tc The rights of the other fellow. Wher, streets are used as race courses. wher. he reckless driver endangers not onr msef but even the most careful driv 'rs humanity stands mighty HRb nance. Let there be the proper amour 7t care by auto drivers and hv pedes -rlans in crossing streets and the larg number of accidents and fatalities vii iheW much desired decrease.

THE ELECTION RESULT.

As was customary the off year city election was characterized by small vote, the number appearing at the polls being large in comparison with the num- her who have previously voted at such a time only because of the fact that the women participated for the first time. In comparison with the numher of voters in the city the turnout was small, but 1t gave the first chance to judge the women vote in a city election.
 The result is one which gives evil ienes of much splitting, and if we can judge by the vote on water commission CTS. the election of each of which was assured upon nomination. and where lit- te splitting could be expected, 1t was an election in which party strength ap- peared to he closely divided.
 With the republicans electing their candidates 10 the city offices outside of The council and re-electing the two re- 'iring counciimen they carried a ma io-ity of the ticket The control of the council before the election was certain 10 remain in the hands of the republi. cans. the two counc,lmen elected strengthening that control for the en- suing year The aldermanie result was unquestionably due to defections within Inc ranks of the losers party.
 While there was a great number of The voters who stayed at home and Jeff the decision at the polls to others, there were only a comparative few who took Interest enough in the appointing of q commission 10 prepare new charter tc express their minds thereon. However 7f the number who voted on the subjec' there was an overwhelming majority 1T favor, which means that authority ha, been granted for the appointment or , commission to revise the charter and submit it 10 the people for their appre val year from now. In the meantim t is 10 be expected that there will be sucl publicity in regard 10 the changes tha are advocated that the people will hay an opportunity 10 fully understand then before they are called upon to adopt 0 reject them.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
NEW ENGLAND's GREATEST EARTH.
 nITAEE


 QUAKE.
 The greatest earthquake that New England has probably ever experienced since it's settlement by the English oc- cured on Oct 29, 1727 The day was Sunday, and it was an unusually pleasant one for the season of the year. In the evening the moon shone brightly. At 20 minutes before II o'clock occurred a ter rible noise. followed by a roar and crash, and in about half a minute before those who had retired had time to become conscious of what was taking place around them there came bounce as if gigantic cannons had rolled against each other from opposite directions.
 Houses rocked and trembled as if they would collapse, timbers worked in and out of mortiseG, windows rattled, tops of chimneys pitched and tumbled down, eel lar walls fell in and all movable things, l especially in the upper rooms of the houses, tossed about. Most people got up in a moment and rushed to the streets in their night clothes, but the earth shook so much that they could not stand, and they were compelled to sit or recline on l the ground.
 1 People who were awake when the earth quake came said that flash of light pre- 1 ceded it. It was followed by rumbling 1 as II or ulSIdnC Inunuert Wnlcn approach ed nearer and nearer and grew louder and louder, and then the shock came sud denly from under the earth. The whole 1 disturbance occurred within the space of | two minutes of time.
 The cattle ran believing about the fields, being thoroughly frightened at this sudden and fearful commotien in the still l hours of night. At II o'clock another shock came less effective and more quiet than the first, but heavy enough to keep l the people in a state of fear At a quar- ter before 12 another came. and by this 1 time the whole New England country was dressed and out of doors awaiting what ever nature might have in store for them
 At Londonderry, N. H., when the shock came, practically the entire population 1 focked to the home of their minister Rev. MT. MacGreger, who did his best tc comfort them. At Salem. Mass, all the inhabitants were up all night, and many of them refused to go to their homes again for several days. At Rowley the entire village focked to the house of Rev Edward Payson, but as it was too small
Norwich bulletin., 1921-06-07

to admit them the meeting house was opened at the midnight hour and there the, remainder of the night was spent in prayer and supplication.
 The shocks were repeated again at 5 and at o'clock in the morning, but with abated force. In the towns along the Merrimac river the earthquake was felt more severely than in any otl,er section of New England. in the island of New castle, near Portsmouth, x. H., the shock was so severe that it set all the bells a. toling. This heightened the feelings of the people, and to the ignorant it seemed to be a knell rung forth by mystic hands The islands off the New England coast were shaken as much as thS mainland, and the water of the ocean was in a state of great commotion. The earth q-ake had considera ble effect upon the character of the land, springs and wells. Some upland was changed into quag- mlFe, and in a few instances marsh land was raised up, being afterWard too dry for it's native grass to grow upon it.
 Chasms foot or more in width were l opened at some places. At other places where the ground opened water boiled out of the creviees like spring. Within 1 three weeks the boiling ceased and the earth closed. The people were affected i by this earthquake as they had never been before, being fearful of Divine Judgments for their sins and lax respon- i siveness to the call to religious duties The clergy taught them that it was "a 1 loud call to the whole land 10 repent and i fear and give glory to God"
 | The morning following the earth quake great numbers of the inha bi- ltants of Boston gathered at the Old i North Church for prayer and other re- i ligious services. The fear of further i immediate danger was somewhat dis pelled in the pleasant sunlight of the 1 day following, but as seon as the sun had set the fright returned. and i to 9 greater extent than in the morn ! ing the people crowded to the Old Brick l church, which could not hold them. The | Old South Church was then opened. and
 the overflow fiocked to that meeting | house.
 The lieutenant governor of the state | requested that Thursday following the
 earthquake should be observed as a day
 of fasting and prayer, and many ser mons delivered on the latter and other
 days were printed in Ipswich, Mass, and
 seventy-six persons at once became church members as result of the earth
 quake Shocks of the earthquake con.
 tinued at intervals through the fellewins
 week and from time to time during No
 vember and December growing less ant
 less in force.

 "He doesn't realize how fragile you are" the handsome sophomore said in dignantly.
 'sIt is just wonderful to tell my trou- bles to somebody like you who under stands" said the pretty girl with the snub nose And then I had all those dishes to wash! I thought maybe l could serve everything on one plate apiece, but you should have seen the way they act ed Bob asked if it was the new style to have the butter pat running down into the tomatoes which were mixing up with the potatoes, but I know he tipped his plate on purpose and they made me put on bread and butter plates and vegeta- ble dishes and everything not caring bit about the work they made me!'
