rs FATALITIES IN
AUTO ACCIDENTS
REPORTED IN 1923.

Nothing like an accurate record
has been kept of the fatal automo-
bile accidents in the State of Maine
for the season of 1923 as there is no
law in this State which requires that
all accidents be reported to the De-
partment of State Highway Police.
Among the accidents which have
been reported there were seventy
hve fatalities. OF this number
twenty-five were children. Only two
of these were occupants of cars. In
the remaining twenty cases a life
was sacrificed by the thoughtlessness
OF the child In either failing to- look
before crossing the streets or by

100000 in Films Destroyed in Fire
It isn't often that 100000 piece
of property is purchased in order to
consign it to the flames.
But that is exactly what was done
in the case of the original screen
production of 1.-The Virginian," filmed
eight years ago with Dustin Farnum
in the title role.
When it was agreed that the Wis.,
ter romance should be refined as
Tom Forman production it was
agreed that the new picture should
be given the most elaborate produce
ton possible, that every character
should be selected in accordance with
the views of the author and that the
old film should be destroyed.
To carry out this last stipulation all
the existing prints Of the original
celluloid Virginian were recalled and
the lot-valued at approximately
$$1O0,O00-were placed in a great
bonfire that flared skyward in the
presence of representatives of the
original producers and the purchasers
OF the rights to the story.
The Forman production, recently
completed, deserves a place with the
most important pictures to be re-
leased this year. 1t has been secured
by the management of the Augusta
Opera House for four day engage
ment beginning next Monday.-Adv.

OBERLIN BUSINESS COL
LEGE OPENS FALL TERN
WITH RECORD ATTENDANCE

The Oberlin Business College op-
ened its fall term last Tuesday with
the largest attendance in recent
years, if not in the entire history of
the school, 1t has become necessary
to order additional furniture to ac-
commodate the large increase in at
tendance. Eight years ago a second
building was erected to accommo-
date the increasing attendance. Two
years ago it was necessary to build
an addition to the main building
and now both buildings and the new
addition are filled with students An
order was given last Thursday for
36 new Remington typewriters max
ing a total of 55 new typewriters
purchased during the past month.
This school now has the highest
standing given to any business col
lege by the. State Department of
Public instruction at Columbus. 1t
was the first business college to be
rlaced upon the Accredited List of
Ohio Colleges by the State School
Department and has more gradu-
ates holding state certificates than
any other similar school.
This school has an older class of
students and is doing a higher
standard of work than the average
business school, and naturally there
is a great demand for its graduates.
