A tire on one of the rear wheels was also badly torn. ‘When it was seen that the car-could be brought back here, if it had a new front wheel, Mr. Lahn returned here to the Thames square garage, where he secured a new wheel and returned with it on a trolley car to the scene of the accident.

TRADE ASSOCIATION - SECRETARIES IN MEETING. Ay C. W. Pearson Attended Session and Clambake at Providence, The general secretaries of the com- mercial organizations throughout New.

Cotton was elected pres- ident .of a new organization to known as the Rhode Island Associa- tion ‘of Commercial Executives. H. Fell- man of the Woonsocket Retail Men's association was chosen vice president, and Arthur B. Commerford, secretary of the Newport Boara of Trade, was elected secretary and treasurer. James L. Jenks, secretary of the Pawtucket Business Men's association, moved to form the organization, and Thomas P. Corcoran, secretary of the Pawtucket Chamber of Commerce, seconded the motion. Secretary Cotton made the opening speech at the organization of the new body. He dwelt especially upon the work which might be accomplished by uch an organization in advertising the state as a_summer resort. ‘Such advertising would attract not only summer tourists,” he said, “and encourage annual visits by summer visitors, but it would be of vast assist- gnc eto the various communities of our State in securing conventions and other events which bring new money into our imidst.” Jofin S. Holbrook, president of the Providence Chamber of Commerce, welcomed the guests. He told of the purpose to show the visitors Provi- dence harbor and the development, not for the purpose of robbing any legiti- mate harbor of commerce properly be- longing to but because of the in- creasing needs of a growing country. After the clambake at Rocky Point, President R. D. Redfern of the New England Association of Commercial Executives made the principal speech of the day. He congratulated the members on being so well cared for and .spoke of the excellent opportunity for so-opera- tion existing among New England cities. He emphasized the need of greater constructive effort, not by re- ducipg any of the present commercial organizations, but by a fusing of their interests. The trip back to the city was made late in the afternoon. Among those attending were C. W. Pearson of this city, Irvine O, Chester thrust a pencil into the box through the wire screening on top and the reptile darted out at it. His head struck the wire and the young man jumped. Also the snake started to eat one of the dead sparrows with which Mr. Pendleton has been striv- ing to tempt the copperhead, but the crowd seemed to embarrass the rattler and he stopped. The copperhead is still fasting, although he does quench his thirst at times. He is not like the 9 1-2 foot black snake that La- fayette Main had at the North Ston- ington fair. Lafayette caught that snake sucking a cow and ever since the hungry reptile has eaten all the frogs that his owner can feed, as well a_ couple of smaller snakes that Mr, Main put in for. company.

One of the objects of Sir E. Shack- leton’s present South Polar expedition is to establish a wireless station in the Antarctic, the staff to be relieved once a year. /The main purpose of the sta- tion would be to. keep the civilized world acquainted with the meteorolog- ical conditions around the pole. The- oretically, the power of such a station need not be very great for.long dis- tance transmission, but during Captain Scott’s Antarctic investigations it was discovered that the aurora astralis (the South Pole equivalent of the au- rora borealis in high northérn lati- tudes), b “damping” the ether waves, somewhat counterbalanced the lessen- ed interference of sunshine.—Pall Mall Gazette.
