In the department of Mathematids and Physics there were no failures in Physics or Algebra, one in Geometry and 2 in trigonometry. In Biology and Chemistry there were no failures in chemistry and only seven alto­ gether in thirty attempts. In French there were four failures in 22 at­ tempts. In the twelve non compul­ sory papers average number of fail­ ures ran less than 2 per paper. In these subjects the candidates have optional courses and naturally take subjects most suited to their ability. There were twenty-eight passes on the two compulsory papers, a larger number than is usual. In addition to the ten subjects re­ corded to the credit of Beulah Holt in last week’s paper, in the Middle School results, the two in Upper School English, with second class honours are to be noted bringing the total to twelve for the year. The taking of two year’s work in one can be attempted only with special per­ mission and could be accomplished only in very exceptional cases. Grant Taylor, eBetty Hogarth, My­ rtle Gaiser, Helen Walper and Grace Snell who passed an aggregrate of 39 papers without a failure are deserv­ ing of special congratulations.

FINGERS AMPUTATED IN THRESHING MACHINE Mr. Roland Williams, of Usborne, had his right hand badly lacerted in a threshing machine on the farm of Louis Johns, Elimville, Wednesday of last week. He was removed to St. Joseph’s Hospital, London, were it was found necessary to amputate about two-thirds of the hand. His condition at present is fairly satis-? factory and he is expected home in the near future. Mr, Williams was assisting in operating the separator* and was at the back of the machine feeding some straw into the blower after it had passed through the cut­ ting box. In some manner the straw shot his hand upward and the suc­ tion from the knives drew his hand into the revolving blades. It all happened in the fraction of a second. Dr. Fletcher was called to the farm and immediately had Mr*. Wil­ liams taken to the hospital in Lon­ don where an operation was per­ formed. Mr. Williams will have the use of his thumb and the great­ er part of the forefinger, the others having been amputated. Mr. Williams is well-known throughout the district, having taken a keen interest in the South Huron Plowman's Association and engaged in various interests and his many friends regret to hear of the serious accident that has befallen him.

AUTO ACCIDENTS An auto accident took place Sun­ day afternoon on the sideroad about six miles west of Huron street when a car driven by Orville Webber went out of control when it struck some loose gravel. With Mr. Webber were Misses Lorraine and Catherine Armstrong and Norma Parsons. The car rolled completely over and the top and body were badly demolished. Fortunately the occupants escaped with minor bruises and lacerations. Head-On Collision Injured in a head-on collision of two cars on the Parkhill-Grand Bend highway late Saturday night, Mrs. Minnie Young, wife of Gordon Young, of Corbett, was on Sunday taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital, Lon­ don, for examination of head injur­ ies. At hospital it was stated that she had lacerations about the head and an X-ray examination was made but Mrs. Young’s injuries did not appear immediately serious. An occupant of the second car, Miss Cora Shaeffer, parkhill, was also cut about the face, but did not require hospital treatment. Three other occupants of the two cars es­ caped, with a shaking up. Mrs. Young was riding in a car driven by her brother-in-law, James Young, with her 14-year-old son, Roy, as another passenger. This cat, at 11 p.m. met. almost head-on a car driven by William McKinnon, Park­ hill in which Miss Shaeffer was rid­ ing, five miles north of Parkhill. McKinnon’s car was almost entirely wrecked and the Young car badly damaged. Both the injured women were taken to their homes, but later it was decided that Mrs. Young should have X-ray to determine if there was any further injuries, and she was taken to London at noon Sun­ day.
