Many friends of Doctor F. T. Fromen, included in which number were former patients Of the skilled practitioner, were shocked yesterday 10 read of the death Of the physi- clan and surgeon. He succumbed 10 the second attack of pneumonia which he suffered within a few months.
 Many q New Britaiuite is walking the streets today who feels that he would not ho on tho face Of the earth if it were not for the skill Of the doctor, who had performed nu- merous delicate operations success fully. Many an associate of the de ceased will feel his loss keenly, even though they may have no occasion 10 remember the delicacy Of his art. He had numerous interests outside Of his profession, many of them be- ing closely associated with music, which he loved.
 There will unquestionably be hun- dreds Of sincere expressions Of con- doIence with his family on his pas sage from the world which We know, and there will be hundreds moro, unexpressed, perhaps, but as keenly felt.

THANKS FOR THE BUGGY RIDE

Tucked away in q remote corner. under an advertisement. there ap- pcared q few nights ago q brief item 10 the effect that last year thcr" were only SS5o buggics manufacture cd in the United States. according 10 the census bureau. The figure for the previous year was 2h.5uo. Thus it is more than obvious that the old order chang"th, giving plac" 10 new, for the whole number made in inc United States last year would hard ly have supplied one prosperous county back in the gay ninetics.
 TO those of the younger generation the word buggy is. something 10 he identified with popular song or queer contraptions drawn by all antiquatcd horse, sometimes seen on the country roads. But 10 their elders mere meatjon of that word cannot but bring fond memories to many hearts. Back in the eighties and nlneties how classy the buggy did look, shining in its coat Of fresh paint and yarnish behind a spirited horse in it's highly polished leather trappings. Pride Of possession and, VIC fear possibly q lool. of exquisite dsdain, surely did shine from the face Of the young man as this cqui- page of his on a Sunday afternoon dashed down the dusty Main street under his skillful direction, catching the admiring glances Of soft eyes
 And it was not in the top buggy that the youth of another generation spent many blissfu hours, on the way to dances, to picnics or i1Ist for Il ride. Coming home, if the old horse "kncW his stuff" what q simple matter it was 10 twist the rcins about the whip and devote ones entire attention 10 the fair young maiden at ones side. Truly. this was before the days of "one hand" driving. IL was q wonderful ly favorable medium Of courtship and many a mature couple who now sit in th" back seat Of their eight cylinder model felt first in the old top buggy that mysterious and pow crful stirring Of the heart that united them for llfe's great journey. There hardly is q doubt that ofttimes they think of those good old days with Il sigh as they speed along so silently and smoothly in today's motor ears.

LI\DE'S FLYING RECORD

Comes, via the Associated Press, from New York a news story to the effect that Col. Charles A. Lind bergh, who is now carrying on in Texas in his program Of flights through every state in the Unior has covered more than 25,00o miles in the other half Of his famous i've" been 273 hours in th" air and been late only once. Which is a noteworthy plishmont for the human and the mechanical elements of the aerial combination. Since leaving San Diego last May. on the way 10 New York and thence 10 Paris, the youthful idol of the skies has covered more than the circum- ference Of the earth. He has actu- ally been in the air the equivalent Of over II days in time, with no acci- dents and but one delay, which oc- cured in Portland, Maine, when he could not fly because of the fog.
 Tn covering this distance he had 10 make two long hops across the country, from San Diego 10 St Louis and from St Louis 10 New York. After a fow days there the longest flight Of his trip was undcr- taken whrn he covered about 2,G00 miles in thirty-threc and q fraction hours from New York 10 Paris Flights about the United States and from Washington 10 New York and 5acf have accounted for the rest O tho time and distance.
 While the necessity o' keeping awake for over thirty hours in cross ing thc Atlantic and tt" turbulent receptions al Paris. in Belgium and London must have been extremely tatie1ing 10 1jndborRh, we venture that his present program has been cen more ~rarisomo. and it is still 10 to fushnd.
