 Negotiations are under way between a committee and officers of Ausesn Mayotte post. American Legion. and Ransome Fl. Bradley, owner of the ruins of Hotel Chicker;ng, that the building may be re- paired in a manner in accordance with plans prepared looking to a permanent headquarters for the post. The plan is to rebuild that part of the hotel on a level with Union street north of the Put nam News company's store. The plans call for five rooms in allan assembly hall 23x41 feet. kitchen, a billiard room and Iounging and smoking rooms. The whole proposition will come up for dis cussion at a meeting of the post Monday night. The meeting will be held in the Arcanum club rooms and will be open to every World war veteran. whether member of the legion or not. The officers of the post have looked about the city and have inspected every vacant room with a headquarters in view but there is nothing to be had that will meet the re- qurements.
 With the winter out of the way, auto
 ncbilists thought that they were to have a rest from the nerve-racking experi- ences of children coasting, suddenly shooting out in front of thern from some side street. A new oaild's pastime has evidenced to one automobile driver at least that dangers from the acts of thouglrtIass children is ever present. While this man was driving a light truck on South Main street he saw two lads coasting westward on Grove street. The boys were in Q. toy express wagon that had gained considerable momentum on the sidewalk. When the coasters reach7 ed the corner the little wagon was going so rapidly that they were unable to make the turn and they sped on into South Main street directly in front of the truck driver As the driver saw them and an ticipated that there was a bare possf- biIty that something might happen, he was prepared and stopped his truck, but not until each front wheel was up against, although not upon, the body of a small boy. Neither boy was hurt no1 did either appear to realize his narrow escape from injury. The driver did, and for few minutes was quite upset 0veI the experience.
