the municipal court Saturday morn
ing to answer to charge of reckless
ariving. In the early morning hours of

through his attorney, James Boyle,
ne appealed the case to the January
Term OF the superior court at Au-
susta, furnishing bonds in the
amount of 5000.
Deputy Marshal Alfred Poirier,
who investigated the accident. was
the first. to testify. He said that an
swering call to go to the upper
College avenue crossing to investi-
gate the accident, he found the Es-
sex which was driven by Lizzotte
completely demolished on the west
side OF the road and on the tracks
OF the railroad. The Cadillac was
nearer the electric car tracks and
was but slightly dmaged. He said it
looked to him as if the Essex had
oeen sideswiped by the big Cadillac.
George E. Marcia, of the State
Highway Police, the complainant,
who with Deputy Marshal Poirier in
vestigated the accident, testified as
10 the position of the cars, certifying
statements made by Poirier, and add
ed that he observed the tracks of the
cadillac had turned off the concrete
on the east side of the road some-
what above the crossing.
Lieut.. Frost who was also at the
scene Of the accident testified in sub
stance the same as the other two
officers.
Cedric W. SWEET, of Bangor, en-
ployed by the Cadillac Company, was
driving the big car at the time of the
collision. On the stand he said that
he and Mr.. Johnson, his companion,
We're on their way to Portland, and
that he was relieving Johnson at the
wheel AS he neared the railroad
crossing he saw the bright headlight
OF locomotive, and couldn't tell at
first whether 1t was moving or
standing still. This caused him to
slow up considerably, but when he
saw surely that the engine was not
in motion. he started ahead at bet
ter clip. He then saw the Essex COM
ing up the avenue, and it was on the
right side Of the road, but soon NOV
ed to the center. He said that the
sight of the engine had caused him
to slow up. and that he had his car
In complete control at all time. Sud-
denly the Essex turned sharply as if
to go into Maple street, and that
when he saw that smash was near
ly inevitable he turned his wheel
sharply to avoid a headon collision,
but his car hit the Essex side on.
Clement S. Johnson, Jr., of Port
land, who was with Mr.. Sweet, tes-
titled the same as the latter Neither
could say the exact speed at which
they were travelling.
James Boyle, counsel for the de-
tense, entered no testimony. simply

 "We'll just thrash the whole thing out, once and for all," Lillian an- nounced as Katherine let herself and Junior into the front door of the apartment and I was conscious of distinct feleing of relief as we awaited their progress up the stairs.

 "A soft -shelled crab" replied Jim my. Just touch him and you'll see that he hasn't any hard she'll"
 It was small crab and Danny at last ventured to touch 1t. Sure enough, it was soft. There was no har' shell at all. Those pinching claws were perfectly harmless. There was no pinch in them. Do you mean to say" squeaked Dan my, that this fellow never will have Ia hard shell like those others I've seen?"
 Jimmy Skunk's eyes twinkled. No" said he. T don't mean 10 say anything of the kind. This fellow never will have hard shell. But if he were not such good eating, or if he hadn't been caught. he would in time have had a hard she'll"
 Are you going to eat him?" de- manded Danny.
 "I certainly am," replied Jimmy, and suited the action to the word.
 "I suppose" said Danny thought fully, that it was because he was so small that he had soft she'll
 "No." replied Jimmy promptly, nothing of the kind. Big crabs are the same way sometimes. They have 10 get out of their hard shells in or der to grow. So once or twice year they shed their shells and grow new ones. 1t is when they shed their shells that they are called soft-shell- ed crabs. Didn't you ever see cat erpillar grow by shedding its skin?
 "Yes," replied Danny, but skin is one thing and a shell is another. How can one of those fellows get out of his shell? Do you mean to tell me that he gets every bit out, legs and pincers and everything

 In previous articles have been giv- en charts illustrating the trend in death rates of such diseases as diphtheria, measles, typhoid fever, cancer, whooping cough and other maladies. It was noted that while the rates generally show a down. ward trend, that of cancer was de- cidedly upward.
 The same is true of heart disease and diabetes. Today is given a chart showing the trend of death rates from all causes combined, including homicides, suicides and deaths due to accidents. If we exclude the year 1918, the year of the great influenza epidemic, we see that the death rate is dropping rather rapidly. This means that the span of human life is increasing.
 At least 16 years has been added to this life span in the United States within the last three-quarters of century. A child born today may be expected to reach the age of 56 years, while the child born in 1850 had a life expectancy of only 40 years.
 This increase in the span of life is see in all countries hat have adopt ed modern standards of living and of sanitation, and which have or ganized health departments that are functioning effectively. It is not seen in those countries which do not have these adjuncts to civilization. How does the death rate of your city compare with that of others? I@~sasse-,osRsRSreNspe.s87su

 Luncheon - Macaroni baked with cheese, lettuce sandwiches, butter scotch cookies, berries, milk, tea.
 Dinner - Vegetable dinner, jel- lied fruit salad, cheese cups, graham bread, milk. coffee.
 A vegetable dinner is delightful way to be economical as well as thoughtful for ones family's health. The modern cure for many ills is effected through dieting and very often this excludes meat from our menus. Most of the best restaurants serve vegetable platter and con siderable skill is shown in their ar rangement. Color is of some import ance since this determines the beau ty of the dish. The texture and flaw or of the vegetables must be con- sidered since variety is important Also the method of cooking must be thought of. One vegetable IS huttered. one creamed, one baked and another fried or steamed. There is one detail to guard against--be sure none of the vegetables are too moist. The cream sauce should be smooth and creamy, not runny, ana the buttered vegetable quite dry be- fore buttering.
 Vegetable Dinner Gren pea timbales, creamed car rots. new potatoes in parsley butter. broiled tomatoes.
 The dinner is planned to be on in dividual plates from the kitchen A timbale is placed in the center Of each plate and the remaining vege- tables used at a border in groups, Green Pea Timbales One and one-half cups pea puree. l2 tablespoons melted butter, ? eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, 3-i teaspoons salt, 2 or drops onion juice, Is tea spoon pepper.
 It will take about 1 1-2 pounds Of peas in the pod 10 make the puree. Cook peas until tender in as little water as possible, letting the water cook away. Rub through d sieve. Beat eggs until light. Beat in re- maining ingredients and turn into six buttered timbale molds or cus- tard cups.
