 Warn Against Cutting Close
 The Berlin authorities have is- sued a warning against cutting the corner closely at the intersection of Pennington road and Railroad street in Kensington. They point out that drivers of automobiles coming from New Britain are un- able to see up the road leading to the railroad station because of the railroad overpass and there is con- siderable danger If they try to cut the corner sharp, since other auto mobile drivers, in the same fix, coming from the station may crash into them and cause damage. A narrow escape was noticed today at that corner when two cars nearly crashed into one another.

E.B. RESIDENT HAS
 A LEAP FOR LIFE Napoleon Bernini Jumps From Path of OncOming Electric Car MISS GABANY X BRIDE
Narrow Escapes From Electrocution Storm Docs Damage-Au-Ken- singtons Will Wind Up Season. Cutting Corner Is Dangerous Other Items.

Napoleon Bernini, well known grocer of East Berlin, 'is suffering from a cracked shoulder blade as a result of 8 narrow escape from serious injury or death yesterday afternoon when his truck was struck by a Middletown trolley car in Newfield.
 MT. Bernini was on his way to the Futile Brick yard and had proceeded up the road to the plant, which leads off the main road to Middletown. The trolley tracks cross the road at this point.
 Ignorant of the approach of a car MT. Bernini proceeded across the tracks at Crossing No. 2, as 1t is called. His truck was half on the track and half of when the car bore down upon 1t. Mir. Bernini leaped from the automobile, which was demolished under the wheels of the train.
 He landed on his shoulder and sustained injuries to his head all so. He was attended by Dr. Walsh of Middletown, and was taken to the Middlesex hospital for an X-ray and was later removed to his home.
 At this same crossing man was killed some time ago and 1t has been for a long time a dreaded pass for those using it. Mir. Bernini was able to be around again to- day.
 Has Narrow Escape
 Harold Clark of East Berlin es- caped electrocution by narrow trick of fate in Manchester yester- day afternoon. MT. Clark was pro- ceeding along the highway in his car and a wire blown down by the high wind became entangled in one of the wheels of his automobile. He pulled the wire from the wheel and did not realize until afterwards that the wire was alive. Had he picked up the other end of the broken strand the results would have been serious.

THEATERS
HAL ROACH DEFENDER
OF ANIMALS IN FILMS
d. & r. Feature Refutes Charge Of
Brutality in Use of Animals
In Motion Pictures

IN M0tAon fICDurCS
There are those misguided, though
weIl-intentioned people, who declare
it brutal and inhuman to use animals
in motion pictures. A producer of
animal pictures is branded by some
as cruel monster until he proves
himself innocent, which is generally
impossible. Those making such
charges rarely stop to consider the
fact that it would be poor business
to maltreat an animal on which thou
sands of dollars have been expend-
ed for training and maintenance, even
If the owner had no sense of decency
nor any human instincts.
Hal Roach has provided one of the
best possible answers to such charges
in his latest feature production, "The
King of Wild Horses" Pathe pic
ture which will be the main attraction
at the d. &. R. theater Sunday and
Monday. In this novel outdoor drama
a magnificent black stallion has the
leading role. It took Hal Roach and
his associates many months to make
the picture.
When Fred Jackman, the director
started, his equine star, Rex, was 8
vicious, dangerous beast that had
been chained in his stall as menace
to mankind. The horse had killed
several, manned others, and was con-
sidered an incorrigible outlaw. He
lived a prisoner.

Roach's chief horse trainer, spent two

SUMMER POISON PLANTS
SHOULD Be AVOIDED

SEATTLE, Wash, June 12.-While
this state is peculiarly free from poi
son plants, there are a few, which
are injurious to human beings, DR..
Paul A. Turner, director Of the State
Department of Health, states. Plants,
such as poison oak, which poison peo-
pie through contact are not usually
as dangerous as those which poison
people when eaten by them.
Two cases are on record at the
State Department of Health in which
children died one and one-half hours
after consuming wild parsley. This
plant grows in the eastern part of
the state and has fine leaf, not un-
like that of garden parsley. Its top
spreads out like an umbrella and re-
sembles the garden parsley or par
snip top.
The root Of the wild parsnip, which
is more commonly eaten by cattle
than by humans, is also poisonous.
Certain kinds of toadstools are poi
sonous and none should be plucked
for human consumption unless the
person so doing knows the different
varieties and is certain which are
harmless.
During the summer season when
the children play in the woods and
experiment with everything which
looks eatable, suitable precautions
should be taken to see that they do
not eat anything injurious, DR.. Tur-
ner declares. With many people
camping in all sections of the state,
they should be aware of the plants
which should be left alone.
