General Hamilton Johnson, formerly of the Lake Shore shops at Collingw'ood, near Cleveland, has hen gfc'en the title "efllolency engineer," He will have sstl'm6 maCh'nery in boS In a. letter to Santa Claus just before Christmas, Luck Riggs, thirteen years old, who lives in the rear of 1368 North Washington avenue, asked for a sled. Christmas morning, when Lucy came downstairs, a shiny red sled, with the name, "Lightning Glider" was tied on ber stocking. Ever since Christmas Lucy had been anxious to try out the sled, but there was no coasting in Green Ridge until yesterday.

After school was out the girl and a companion, Mamie Traub, Lucy's age, who lives at 4 Harmony court, pulled the "Lightning Glider" to the top of a private court that opens on Washington avenue in the 1300 block, and for an hour coasted down the court and into the street. A half dozen times the girls barely missed running into street cars and wagons, but that only added to the fun, they thought Just before 6:30 o'clock the sled started on its last trip down the court, and just as the sled shot into' Washington avenue, Clarence Sturges, of 1660 North Washington avenue, driving home to dinner in a high powered automobile passed the court. The "Lightninsr Glider" went under the rear wheels of the auto and was cut in two pieces. Lucy Riggs, riding in front was thrown down the street, and both her knee9 cut and bruised. Her companion escaped with a slight shaking up.

The Sturges' auto was running slow ly at the time of the accident, and the chauffeur tried his best to avoid hitting the sled. The girls were taken to their homes, i In telling of the accident last night, 'Mir. Sturges declared that the police of the city should prevent children from coasting on the frequently traveled streets and avenues of the city. The spot where the accident occurred, he eald, is a particularly dangerous one, since the sleds shoot into the street in the middle of the block, and the drivers of autos or horses are unable to see the coasters coming down the grade. i FORTHE BENEFIT OF VICTIMS IN TRIPOLI Italian Citizens Conduct Ball In Jeasup, JSttr Year's Day.
