Autos Crash on

Cars Are Damaged

Three automobiles were in a mix
up on the state highway between
Waterville and Augusta yesterday af-
tcrnoon about 430, three miles
from this city and all Of them
were considerably damaged
Star car driven by T.. r. Ellis Of
Augusta was travelling toward Au-
Gusta and a Peerless automobile,
with a Massachusetts license, driven
by benjamin Rudnick of Somerville,
Mass, number 4S,278 came along to-
ward Waterville and collided with
the Star. The small auto swerved to-
ward the left and crashed into a
Jewett automobile coming toward
Watervtlle and driven by l.. Quincy
OF SS Fulton street, Mcdford, Mass
State Highway policeman, s. NJ.
Frost stated that from measurements
that lie had taken he should judge
that the Peerless was over on the left
side of the road farther than 1t
should have been.
The front end of the star was very
badly damaged. the radiator, lights,
mudGuards and axle showing the re-
suits Of the collision. The left front

White Rhinoeeros

The great white rhinocerous ~ the
upper valley OF the Nile has several
remarkable characteristics which
mark the difference between IL and
its smaller cousins. the ordinary
rhinoceroses of Africa, Asia and
Malaysia. According to Dr. Herbert
Lang Of the American Museum OF
Natural History. who recently re-
turned after studying it in it's native
haunts. its lower lip is armed with
plate Of horn as a protection against
the sharp swordgrass upon which II
feeds Another strange thing IL
that the great horns which Il carries
on its nose-the front one Nof which
iE about twice as long as the rear
one-do not grow from the bone but
from the skin. This Is continuous
under the base Of the horn.

Number of Drunken
Drivers on Highways
Less Than in 1923

While more automobile drivers
have been before the Municipal court
in WatervilIe this year than last year
for the first three months of the sea
son. May, June and July the number
of drunken drivers has decreased
from 10 last season TO four this sea-
son.
Credit may be due IIdge Charles
w. Atchley for this decline in drunk
en- driver cases for the judge was
not particularly lenicnt in his sem
fencing of such cases and generally
dOled ont n combination sentence Of
a fine and term in jail. In the fall a
change was made and instead of Civ
ing sentences when he found the res
pondcnts guilty the judge bound
them over to the Superior court.
The total number OF automobile
cases in court last year during the
months of May. June and July was
Is, Ten were for drunken driving.
two for reckless driving and one for
driving without a license.
This year for a like period there
have been Is cases. four for drunken
driving. nine for reckless driving and
two for exceeding the speed limit.
There was one case in April for driV
ing without n license.
Most OF the drunken drivers have
been arrested within Ihe city limits
while cases of speeding and reckless
driving have all come from outside
highways. 1t has been suggested
that the fact that there are more
motorcycle policemen and fewer In
speCtors in automobiles has made
the difference in the number Of reCk-
less drivers appearing IN court.
Whether the severe sentences
handed out by the Judge or that in
toXiCatinG liquor is nsrder to pro-
cure might be question debated by
some. rs the reason why tho drunken
drivers had deCrca sed.
