AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
Series of Accidents Happen in This
Borough, But No Serious
Injuries Result.
A series of automobile accidents
have occurred in the borough during
the past few days but fortunately
no one has been seriously injured.
The nearest to serious injury oc-curred
on Sunday afternoon about
live o'clock, at Fayette and Warble
streets, when Elmer Pierson, of
Spring Mill avenue, while driving
down Fayette street, struck two
young boys who were playing in the
street. Pierson' was driving down
Fayette street and a number of
children were playing near the East
entrance to the Schuylkill river
bridge. In attempting to avoid run-ning
into the crowd he turned his
car to one side just as the two other
boys rau in front of him. Both
were knocked down and Pierson im-mediately
stopped his automobile
and learned that one of the boys
was Charles Marwood, Fifth avenue
and Maple street, and his compan-ion
was a Polish boy residing at
No. 18 Oak street. The driver
rushed the two children to the office
of Dr. D. R. Beaver, where upon ex-amination
it was learned that the
Marwood child had' received slight
injuries to the hand while th<s other
boy was unhurt
About six o'clock last Friday
evening Louis Ehllnger, of Seventli
avenue, was driving his car in West
Hector street, just as he was about
to turn down Forrest street, he
noticed two boys riding in an ex-press
wagon. In order to prevont
running into the boys the driver
brought his car to a standstill. The
children in attempting to stop the
wagon, applied their brake with
the result that the back of it slid
around and upset, throwing the oc-cupants
to the brick pavoment. The
children wero given medical treat-ment
but the extent of their Injur-ies
were scratches about the knees.
On Saturday afternoon the Over-land
sedan, belonging to Paul John-son,
was damaged beyond repair
when it was crashed into at the
corner of Elm and Fayette streets
by a trolley car, but fortunately no
ono was injured. In trying to avoid
colliding with a truck Johnson stall-ed
his motor while his car was on
the trolley track and before he
could get it started, the trolley
crashed into it.
School director John Smith, of
upper Ford street, the well-known
tinsmith, figured in an automobile
accident at the intersection of Mat-sonford
and Uulph roads early this
morning. On his way from the
Gulph. Woolen mills he was at-tempting
to make the, turn from
the Gulph road to Matsonford road.
He Was compelled to make a wide
turn iu order to allow a motorcycle
to pass him. At the same time a
Ford touring car was coming up
Matsonford road from tills borough.
Neither driver sa wthe other in
time to avert a collision and in or-der
to prevent a head-on collision
Mr. Smith swerved his car toward
the bank. The right fender on the
touring car was badly bent and the
front axle and radius rod on the
Smith car were bent. Both cars
were able to proceed under their
own power.

period this troop held second place
In Its rptlng, with an average of 83

of not having more Scouts
promoted to a higher rank. They
did, howdver, receive a rating of 68
per cent., with a possibility of re-ceiving
15 per cent, more from
headquarters.
With the usual quick action char-acteristic
of tne troop, the troop of-ficers
held a meeting immediately
after the inspection and decided
that they would overcome the per-centage
lost and by the Spring in-spection
would have every member
of the troop advanced and would
give any troop in the district a
chase for first place.
On the same evening, Troop No.
2, of Conshohocken, enjoyed a lec-ture
on snakes at the Park House.
The lecturer was Mr. Hall from
Ardmore. The different kinds of
snakes were described and the boys
were warned to keep away from
poisonous ones. These poisonous
ones were particularly described
and the favorite haunts of each of
these snakes were made clear to
the boys.
