Although Slight Snowfall
Youngsters Near Accident
When Sliding On Sidewalk

Although it would seem that there
had not been enough snow this year
to cause any trouble regarding vio-
lations of the law prohibiting slid
ing on the sidewalks, it has been
found that some of the children have
been doing this on lower Water
street. What would have been bad
accident was narrowly averted, q
short time ago when two children on
a sled. coasted wown over the incline
beyond the Office of the f. N. Boston
Coal Co., and over onto the road, as
the sled reached the middle of the
road a Ford car, driving along at a
moderate speed, stopped about o foot
in front of the children. who were
helpless with fright, and unable to
move to save themselves. There
were about a dozen small boys and
girls sliding at this place, and they
did not seem to be at all frightened
at the narrow escape of their play
mates. and kept on with their sport.
This is rather a good place to slide,
as they gan 20 the whole width Of
the road and UP on. to the foor Of
the new store house of the Gardiner
Hardware Co. There are not MANY
safe places for coasting parties in the
city but of all of them this Is per-
haps the most dangerous, especially
in the day time, when the traffic to
and from the Maine Central freight
depot and to the River road is heavy.

Instigator 'Better Egg"
Campaign in Denmark Dies

Copenhagen, Dec. ga. p. by
Mail)-After several months illness,
the man who brought the Danish egg
to the notice of the world, Frederic
Moller, died recently. Moller started
life as a school teacher, but in 1880
started a campaign for the improve
ment in quality and production Of the
Danish egg. He organized egg COL
lecting stations or circles throughout
the country introducing a simple con-
troll system whereby he was able to
trace every egg back to the producer.
Every circle and producer had
ndmber which was stamped on the
egg, and if a customer complained
that his egg was bad 1t could be re-
turned to the suburban grocer who in
turn informed the Danish shipper.
The producer was promptly fined for
the first offence. and for the second
offence was discharged from the
magic circle of producers.
Moller's efforts to improve the
quality and quantity of the Danish
egg came in for a good deal of criti
cism and opposition but he stuck to
his task of organizing on cooperative
lines. and his concern, the Danish
Andels Egg Export which had a
turn-ove of $4,000 crowns in 1895,
turned over 4,701, 900 crowns in 1922.

the former premier's sojourn here
will only be temporary. and proceed
to reveal their fears that Venize.os
may insist on the return Of the kInr

royalists to his program.
The Demokratia, mouthpice Of the
republicans. declares that Venizelos
will be made to realize that all e.
forts towards restoration Of the
dynasty and the prevention Of con-
stitutional changes will be futile.
The anti-Venizelos sentiment ID

Is not returning as a victor. His
electoral victory is false and non

The liberals naturally hail the re-
turn of Venizzelos. while the revolu-

Venizelos eventually will be per.
suaded to become the next premier.
It declares he cannot regulate the
