Autos Crash Junction
Maine Ave. and Bridge St.

The long looked for accident at the
junction of Maine avenue and Bridge
street happened Monday at about
noon. but luckily it was without Sc
rious results. This is about as blind
corner as could be expected and
the traffic around it is heavy the great
er part of the day. There is a build
ing on the corner that entirely OBJ
structs the view and as the curve is
almost turn about, and with a grade,
nothing more could be asked for
danger. A. B. Ross was driving his
Dodge truck and on the seat with him
was Donald Grant. He was taking
the curve at a slow speed when the
Columbia roadster owned by Eugene
Mount and occupied by himself and
wife, came across Bridge street. At
the junction, the roadster struck the
truck about in the centre and threw
out Grant. He was taken to the Gar
diner General hospital. where 1t was
found that he had suffered but minor
injuries and will be able to leave to-
day. Mrs. Mount suffered some
scratches on the face and the others
escaped without injury. The roadster
was somewhat damaged. but the
truck only suffered a broken running
board. Those who saw the accident
wondered how no more serious damage
could have been done under the cir
cumstances.

Assures Winding Of Clock

merely by the opening and shutting o.
the door of the room. London An

The clock-a large one for hanginl
on the wallis hung just above TIL
door. When this is opened the move
ment is transmitted by means Of Z
Bowden cable to the mechanism o.
the clock. ~
Precautions are taken to preveni
too much winding, If the door is very
frequently opened, and on the othsl
hand that it is sufficiently wound ]
the door is not opened more thar
three or four times during the day
This is done by the use Of a spiral de-
vice.
1t is quite a useful and clever In
vention, for how many of us, with tn
best intention in the world, have
way of forgetting to wind our time

most inconvenient times. With con.
trivance like this. we can be sure ina
at least one clock in the house sai
