Impressive to every person who

stated that the month Of Novem-
Der showed q decAed decrease In
the number Of automobile accidents
In Waterbury. To be specific. there
were Is less accidents in this city
during November, 1885 than during
q same month o year previous when
1O6 crashes Of one kind or another
were reported, showing that the
public Is becoming more safety"
conscious each week, aided, Of
course, by continual reminders and
more potent and tangible things
such as the newly formed traffD
court and police accident squad.
Regardless Of the methods
employed, where injury can be
eliminated or life saved, the
results such as those quoted
above always justify the means.
which Is why our police depart
ment rates three long cheers
and continued public encour-
agement for the splendid work
It is doing in keeping people
out Of hospitals and cemeteries
through the medium Of pre-
venting automobile accidents.

row-bladed little weapon he devised
back in his North Berwick days. and

He hits the ball with SO much cut

more or less an axiom around Colum-
