SPEED MANIA
4 Problem to Bar Reckless Drivers
from the Highways

An automobile carrying six persons,
a father, mother and their four children,
was in collision with a Pennsylvania
express train going at the rate OF on
miles an hour at Absecon, New Jersey,
June 10. Every person in the automo-
bile was killed. An entire family was
exterminated After an exceptionally
searching investigation an Atlantic City
coroner's jury has placed responsibility
for the tragedy on the driver OF the car,
the unfortunate husband and father
who, with all the members of his imme
date family, was slain. The deaths
were caused in this case the verdict
reads, "by an error of Judgment on the
part of the driver of the automobile
The most remarkable detail of the
testimony given at the inquest was the
statement of the engineer of the train
that he knew nothing. Of the disaster
until he reached Philadelphia. He saw
no automobile at the crossing; he knew
nothing of striking one. He insisted
that his engine did not hit the automo
bile, and swore that the automobile
must have hit the engine.
This opinion was confirmed by the
discovery of dent in one of the loco
motive cylinders. In this testimony
the train conductor fully cOncurred.
The engineer further testified that he
blew the whistle five times Just before
raching the crossing that his engine bell
was ringing and that the crossing cleo
trio warning bell also was sounding
The tragedy occurred in a fiat country.
Vision of the track in both directions
from the highway IS unobscured. That
the approaching train was not seen by
the driver and occupants of the automo-
bile seems Incredible Yet if the train
was seen by the driver of the motor
the appalling risk was taken. With his
own and the lives of all those dearest
to him at stake he took the chance of
reaching the crossing ahead of train
sweeping toward it at mile a minute
speed, and lost.
This is by no means an isolated in
stance of such reeklessness. All the
safety devices conceivable, short of alb
solutelY impervious crossing barbados,
Island, on the lines of which a single
wear 500 grade crossing barriers of
heavy construction were smashed by
speeding motor drivers, proves this.
Even with crossing watchmen on duty
and the ordinary barriers down there il
no assurance that reckless drivers Will
not IGNORE both.
Error of judgement" is hardly an
adequate characterization of such cases.
Absence of all judgment, that strange
obsession which apparently seizes and
ovcrmasters some men of otherwise
sufficiently Well balanced intelligend>
when they are driving a car, would be
more accurately descriptive.

Missionary Attributes 1t to Vitamines

HARDING ASKS FOR
PARTY HARMONY
Says Too Many Republicans Seek Per-
sonal Attention-Must BE A
Director

COLUMBUS, O., July President
Harding in an address here last night
made a vigorous appeal for harmony in
the ranks of the Republican party Too
many who profess to be- Republicans, he
declared, are attempting to attract at
tention to themselves. Instead of working
for the good of their party and country,
The President said he did not care to
be "soloist," but added that someone
had to act as director, otherwise there
would be no harmony. He spoke at an
open air banquet which celebrated the
50th anniversary Of the Columbus Repub-
hcan club, of which he last night was
made a life member.
Prefaciug his remarks with the OBJ
servation that a glee club never would
sing in harmony if the tenors insisted
ON receiving special attention because
they were tenors and the basses did like
wise. Mr.. Harding declared it would be
impossible to preserve party harmony if
Individuals and groups in the party took
the same slant at things"
He reminded them that the party is
sponsor for the government today, and
added that I'VE would be better off if all
who wear the badge were Republicans at
heart >"

Mrs. Ashley Parmelee, 81, died at her

senile conditions. The funeral was
held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at
the home.
The fire alarm called out a large num-
Der of people, as well as the hose truck,
when it was rung Wednesday afternoon
for a chimney fire at Edward Schultz 5
home near the east end of the village.
No serious damage was done by the fire
beyond that done by smoke and the
water which was played upon the offend
ing part of the structure.
The Fourth passed off with little cele
bration beyond the firing of small fire
works and considerable noise. The boys
of the town made the night before more
or less hideous to those who wished to
sleep, by the firing of crackers and yell
ing, and at about $50 on the morning
OF the Fourth some one gained an en-
trance to the Congregational church and
rang the bell vigorously. Soon after
this the noise quieted down and some
of the would-be sleepers were given the
chance to rest in peace until & O'Clock,
when the racket revived

Williamstown Wednesday to move the
household goods of Rev. n. A. Wood.

The Fourth passed quietly for the
most part throughout the village. Fire
crackers, torpedoes, etc. helped make
a celebration for the youngsters and
misplaced articles in the village dis
covered early in the morning showed
that exuberant spirits were abroad dur
ing the night. A party of young people
spent the day at Lowell lake. Others
went to the celebrations at South
Windham and at Brattleboro or more
distant points. while there were numer-
Gus family gatherings and picnies at
home.
