WHEN ACCIDENTS
HAPPEN TO AUTO
Motorist in Unpleasant Pred'ca'
ment Because He Failed to
Take PreCautlon.
NOTE CIRCUMSTANCES FULLY
Important Point Offered for Jury's
Consideration Is Whether Car was
in Rightfui PIace-insurance
Saves Worry.

To the owner of new car who Is
lust testing his wings, so to speak, on
the highway it may seem ghoulish to
talk of what to do in case an accident
happens to his ear or through ii. But
We all know that accidents involving
motorcnrs do happen. though in ma
jority of cases the car owner Is not 10
blame.
No matter how guiltless of wrong
the motorist may be unless he knows
what to do at the time the accident
occurs, knows how to protect himself,
in other words, he may find himself in
an unpleasant predlcament simply be
cause he has failed to take certain pre-
cautions.
Note All Circumstances.
To begin with. the car owner should
try to keep his mind as calm as pos
sible and note all the attendant cir
cumstances ut the time of the acci-
dent He should get from any by
ISLANDERS their names and addresses
and also those OF people In nearby
buildings provided those persons wit
messed the accident.
II the motorist knows that the fault
has not lain with him he should point
out to the people whose names he has
gathered particular phases of the ac-
cident, measure any distances that may
be germane to the subject by pacing,
II no other means is at hand. Be GER
tain to get some corroboration Of the
rate of speed at which the car was
being driven. If the horn or other
warning signal was sounded be sure to
fact.
In case the accident has occurred at
the intersection of two streets, 1t Is
important to prove that the vehicle
had been slowed down before coming
to the crossing.
Rghtful Place Of Car.
One of the most important points of
fered for Il jury's consideration Is
whether or not the car was in its right
full place In the street. Was it on the
right hand side of the thoroughfare,
where It belonged? Testimony to this
effect will help the defendant. If the
emergency brake was firmly set, un-
prejudiced witnesses may be shown
this for later use in court.
When an accident happens at night
1t Is important to prove that the lights
were properly burning and in order.
When the mishap occurs in rainy
weather or when the streets are slip
perry 1t should be shown IL possible that
the nonskld chains were In place on
the tires.
In case the trouble came when the
car was making turn, call attention
to the fact that 1t was making a wide
turn, in accordance with the statutes,
and was on the proper side of the
road.
If a person has been injured, try to
remember his conduct just before the
accident. Was he behaving in a way
to make him guilty of negligence, as,
for instance, sheltering himself under
an umbrella, and not keeping prop,
er lookout? We're you, the operator
looking ahead and tending to your

If you can prove by measurements
that you brought your car to halt

W2shington.-Comp destruction of the power of Mad MuIlah" native ruler of Somaliland, Africa and for 54 years a problem to British au- thorities, was accomplished within three weeks by less than 200 airmen and eleven fighting planes. according to an official report on the operation just received here. Bombed out of their strongholdS, the natives were pursued and all the leaders except Mullah captured or killed, the report stated.
 The air expedition was sent out in 1919 but details were kept secret. The situation was so serious in 1919, the report stated, that some military action was necessary but the govern ment hesitated because of the cost ing 5000 troops to re-establish order. The air force was called upon and 32 officers and 164 men in addition to the medical detachment set out.
 An advance party, masquerading as engineers in search of oil wells, landed and set up a base. Then the machines appeared and for a week Mad Mu1lah's'' stronghold in the interior was bombed and shot up. while the native camel corps CO., operated. holding a line about the scene. The Mullah F finally broke through this line, heading south. and more, bombing and shooting up the fleeing natives. scattering their stock and utterly destroying the power of the rebel leader.

EXTRACARSP PUT ON FOR WORKER

Extra trolley cars were placed in operation by the Connecticut Com pany this morning to handle the Larger patronage attendant upon the Jeopening of several industrial plants Additional cars were run between the center and the Remington Arms '. NJ. C. plant and the Warne> Bros. plant. Between 1,500 and 1,S00 re s.umed operations at Warmers and approximately $500 at the l.. M.

 Officials of the Connecticut Com pany stated today that an increase in the trolley patronage has been ap- parent for the past week or more. Q Reports of the gradual suspension of ijtney -raffic. and the reduction in Eumber of jitneys operating between the city and industrial plants, to- sether with the greatly increased number of patrons using the trolleys as a means of reaching factories and stores, are playing an important part in the public's preference for the older means of transportation, it is said.

High School Has Regular

Ed Shine Shines As Hero When Bolshevists Break
 Up Orchestra

Much touted battles of music have heen heard of before, where it is a boldly advertised fact that one or chestra will play while the other goes out for a drink so that the dancers need not stop, except for a fresh hold or a. clean collar. But a battle of music, that came near being minus all sharps and plus flats occurred school gymnasium at Lyon Terrace just before a dance that followed basketball game.
 During the preliminary game be- tween the girls team and the young misses from Naugatuck all was serene, but while the regular team was trying a hand at winning over West Springfield the fun began. It seems that Miss F'itelson member-o the girls team, whose orchestra was to furnish the music, was having a battle with some disturbance akin to Bolshevism that had broken out among her assistants. The result was that her orchestra was shot to pieces, and Miss Fitelson volunteered to play the piano, a la solo.
 This was not enough noise to cope with the scrowd, so a hurry call was sent for Reck's orchestra which soon the eventual man of the hour, Ed Shine. When Reck's orchestra got all ready to warm up it is alleged that
 Miss Fitelson wanted to play the piano with a resultant conversation riety, not entirely original. Anyway, she didn't. and Rocks l orchestra also vamped.

 Editorial.

City Auditor Bernard Heating, who came into office before the, pay as-you-so period in Bridgeport his tory, and who has lived to see the pay-as-you-go plan supplanted by the plan. again shouts in to deaf ears a demand for economy, which has come fruitlessly from his office for these ten or twelve years. The auditor is opposed to she is sue of some se3s,oOo of refund!ns bonds. bearing a higher rate of in tterest, with, which to delay the pay ment of matured debt. He advises S230,000 of bonds to take up the Grand street bridge notes.-the s21s,- 900 bridge which cost almost a mil- hon-but he would use s5oo,ooo on deficiency notes. instead of bonds.
 The auditor. believes and says. that it is bad policy and injurious to the credit of the city. not to pay its ma tured debt from the proceeds of taxa ton.
 Why then deficiency notes?
 
 would put the burden over for a time It would not defer payment indefi. nitely, and load the city with interes charges.
 Bond refunds mean the ma:nten. ance of the debt at it's highest point.
 Deficiency notes mean that the ta1 rate will be relieved during the de pression, and that the debt will b' paid when the depression is ended
 The budget this year is well beyond the six millions point.
 Two dollars in every six dollars nearly, is a payment on debt
 The policy of the auditor mean that debt reduction will be begun within a measurable period. Th' other policy means that the city vii continue to pile up debt
