SUSAN WHEELER DIES Brock-Barnes Meceting — Football Game—Ladics' Aid Notes—Altar Soclety Meets—Drum Corps Wins Cup—Hallowc'en Party — Accident. Coming* from the direction of Bris- tol yesterday morning, two men whose names were given as C. Douby and F.

As it was, the driver of the car was coming down West Main street at a pretty, fast clip. Thinking he was driving down the road towards Farmington, he turned into the lot with the result that the car bumped into the railroad tracks. Over three sets of tracks the car tore up and did not stop until three wheels were smashed into splinters. Fortunately the occupants escaped without any serious injury, save a severe shaking up anda minor bruises. | They were arrested for reckless | driving and given a hearing in the town court yesterday afternoon. Jus- tice Edward P. Prior heard the case and William J. Foran prosecuted. The driver was found guilty of the offense and a fine of $25 and costs was im- . posed. This is not the first time that acci- | dents have occurred at this point. A short time ago a large truck mistobk | the open space for a road way and , ended with the same result. Many | drivers have been confused by the | open lot and feel that something should be done to guard it. Persons who are not acquainted with the town coming in the direction from Bristol cannot see beyond the tracks where the proper road lays, and turn up the tracks. Mrs. Susan Wheeler.

The blurring of distant objects to a near-sighted person, or of close objects to a far-sighted person is the result of the cornea, the lens of the eye, being unable to properly focus on the object. This is overcome by an additional lens in front of the eye, or glasses. The wonderful picture, “Through Life’s Windows,” graphically illustrates the action of the hu- man eye, and shows the why of the most common eye troubles, plainly and readily understand- able. g S Shown At Lyceum Theater Nov. 1, 2 and 3 © AXERICAN OPTICAL CO.
