Record breaking sales following
the introduction OF Pierce-Arrow's
new line of custom-built coaches
are shown in shipments from the
Pierce Arrow factory for the month
of March as announced by Presi-
dent Myron e. Forbes.
The number of Series so cars
shipped during the month of March,
1895. as compared with March, 1926,
represents an increase OF % per
cent, the largest passenger car
shipments in the history OF the
Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company.
The total shipments Of all vehicles
produced by the Pierce-Arrow dur
ing March, 1926, represents an in
crease of 33 per cent over the total
shipments of March, 1925. Ship
ments for the first quarter of this
year show an increase OF 30 per
cent over the same period in 1895.
These figures cover both Series 80

police department have. devised, a
plan that puts the question of
speeding squarely up to the public.
The police have been supplied
with wide planks thiclx1y studded
with heavy. sharp nails. and given
plenty of opportunity to practice
throwing them. On the approach of
a car that they believe is exceed
ing the speed limit they casually,
but carefully, toss the plank in
front of the car, taking pains to
have the business side pointing
skyward.
IL the motor car owner is I'M
able to stop within the remaining
space he has the alternative of
driving away with all tires flat. or
procuring a new set all around.
Hydraulic four.wheel brakes are
proving of exceptional value under
such conditions according to the
information, and imports of tires
show signs Of growing by leaps
and bounds.

Gardiner Youth
Injured by Truck
While Out Sliding

The accident which occurred on
Thursday morning on Mechanic
street when the Bradstreet Laundry
truck, driven by Amherst Pinkham,
ran over boy named Branch,
should be a real object lesson in
preventing children from sliding in
the streets. according to Police
Chief Dunn. The boy on his sled
came out of the driveway of his
home directly into the truck. and
therefore no possible blame could be
attached to Mr.. Pinkham for the ac-
cident. The lad was removed to
his home, DIR. w. N. Price called,
who found that while no bones
were broken young Branch had re-
ceived a severe shaking up. 1t was
only by chance that the boy was not
severely, injured.
Chief Dunn declares that it is the
duty of parents to see that their
children do not slide on forbidden
streets. He points out that the cost
Of maintaining an officer for this
purpose about the city would be pro-
hibitive and asks the cooperation o.
parents to prevent more accidents.
Gully hill, Harden street and De-
pot hill are the three places in the
city where sliding or coasting is
permitted. and signs have been post
ed nearby prohibited hills to re-
mind the young people that there is
danger there.

teresting. 1t was held at the home
OF Mrs. Howard E. Andrews. There
was an excellent attendance. No
business of Importance came before
the meeting, though there was some
discussion of the arrangements for
the federation meeting. The song,
pines of Maine" was sung by the
club.
Mrs. Aaron Norton had the paper.
Her subject was the resources of
the State. She spoke of it's size first
and gave something of it's geography.
Then she spoke of the timber and
its various uses. She emphasized
the use of soft wood for pulp and
the special uses of the tSates fine
hard wood. The mineral wealth Of
the State, its field spar that supplies
so large a proportion of the needs
of the country Its quartz, its gran
lite in abundance and in kind and
quality suited for various uses. The
agricultural possibilities of the State,
its fisheries, it's facilities for play
ground, a hunting ground and a
summer resort. all these were taken
up and many more aspects of what
the State has in the way of re-
sources. Her paper was exceeding
ly interesting and valuable.
The roll call was of unusual value
The gems of Paris, the plushes and
palm beach cloth of ashford, the
wonderful bed spreads of the Bates
Mills, received a share of attention.
The question of Maine apples stirred
discussion. The meeting was one Of
the best of the year.
