CHILD IS KILLED in CAR
COLLISION AT RED HOUSE
Eight Others Injured when Two
Cars Meet At Intersection of
Routes 81 and so, Sunday

A child was killed and eight
other persons injured, one seri-
ously, when two automobiles col
lided at 1920 o'clock Sunday
morning at Red House cross
roads, the intersection of Route
81 and Route so, Northwestern
Turnpike, eight miles south of
Oakland.
Lois June Feather, three years old,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Earl
C. Feather, Of Terra Alta, West Va,
ten miles west of Oakland, and her
five year old brother, Reed Feather,
was seriously injured, having sus-
tanned three fractured ribs and num-
erous cuts and bruises.
Mr.. Feather, father of the children,
accompanied by Mrs. Feather, was
driving southwark on Route 81, while
Mrs. R. C. Montelius, of Charleston,
West Va, was going westward on
Route so. Three other women and a
small girl were in Mrs. Montelius'
machine, which struck the Feather
car head-on, hurting it a distance of
fifty feet when it struck against tel
ephone pole and landed on it's top. The
Ford was practically demolished and
the little girl was dead when extri-
Gated from the wdeckage. Mrs. Feath-
er was painfully bruised and cut by
particles of glass, while Mr.. Feather
escaped with slight injuries. The oc-
cupants of the Montelius car were
more fortunate, and while the ma
chine was badly damaged the women
escaped with only minor injuries and
were able to resume their journey to-
ward Charleston Monday by bus, their
automobile having been brought to
Oakland for repairs.
A. W. Plummer, of the Maryland
State Police, who investigated the
accident, said he was told that Mr..
Feather failed to heed the "stop" sign
when entering the main highway and
that Mrs. Montelius did not slow down
when approaching the intersection of
the highways.
The remains of the little girl were
taken to Terra Alta later in the day
where the funeral of the little victim
took place Tuesday.

DISCOVERY AND
 USE OF RUBBER

 traI Y

The first 1891 meeting of the Naugatuck Valley Industrial Traffic association held at the Y. M. c. A. last night was featured by an ad- dress on "The Romance of Rubber" ty Henry R. Gilson. chief engineer of the Rubber Regenerating com pany, and the Naugatuck Chemical company. Gilson's talk was follow ed by the showing of their reel film on the same subject. The motion ricture machine was loaned and operated by Frank Meo. a member of the club.
 Rubber was discovered, declared the speaker, on Columbus trip to the new world. when East Indian na- lives were found playing with balls that bounced Huite regularly. Later CT Pesuit priests exploring the Amazon found natives who had used rubber to waterproof their boots during the rain season. Priestly, the French scientist found that the substance could be used to erase pencil marks and it was given the rame "rubber." Tn 1900 Macintosh used tito smear cloth and found that it makes the cloth waterproof, but it was not used widely because the crude material was gummy in summer and hard and stiff in winter, resulting in discomfort to the wear CT.

merchant in New Haven, discovered the vulcanizing process which makes the rubber impervious to all ordin- ary temperatures. Discussing lat- exbearing shrubs, the speaker de- cIared that Thomas A. Edison had been instrumental in bringing these to light. The present production of rubber according to the speaker IS about thirty-fve million pounds.

Advertise in the newspaper! It means more business. More business means prosperity. It means work for the unemployed and this is the question to-day which is receiving the serious consideration of busi- ness men in all lines and in all parts of the country.
 To-day the Democrat received a telegram from George w. Hill, presi- dent of the American Tobacco Co.,, which is a testimonial to newspaper advertising and which shows what it has done for this concern in the year just closed. Here is the tele- gram, it speaks for itself:

vertising campaign and the largest Cremo cigar advertising campaign in the history of either company. Our agents are to-day forwarding you your orders for these campaigns. The great growth in the sale of these popular brands-Lucky Strike and Cremo--unpreceden in the tobacco industry, has been made possible by the power of newspaper advertising. We are again in in nine- teen thirty-one increasing our news- paper advertising expenditure be- cause we believe that this year, like nineteen thirty, will be a year of bigger business with us. Frankly, we do appreciate the power of public opinion generated through proper and intelligent newspaper advertis- ing.
