Th: cold spell seems to be getting in its work. of THE COLLISION CORNER The worthy reportorial depart ment has taken it upon itself to re- ter to the junction of West Main' and Jerome streets as the “collision corner.” A wisecrack that is all-inclusive. One would think that the obstre- perous automobile drivers read about the collision corner with greater profit to themselves than to be taking chances of figuring in a smashup at this noted intersection. The hospltal is further away from this spot than from some others of a like nature in the city. There s no undertaker nearby, and the near- est cemetery is miles away. TWO OMIs PAR EXCELLENCE President Coolidge, in his message to Congress, had a deal to say abou government business, as is custom ary in presidential messages.

Fears were expressed for the safety of the schooner Edward F. Falt, with three men aboard, which was last reported seen Sunday night in Pictou harbor where it {was being lashed by the storm.
