There is to be no law compelling
motorists to come to a stop at a
railway crossing. Men and women
who are supopsed to have sense e-
nough to drive a motor vehicle are
supposed to have sense enough to
'look and listen, and if a train is
-coming to stop, if necessary. Prob-
ably but a very small percentage of
• crossing accidents are unavoidable if
.drivers of motors take ordinary pre-
' -cautions.

CONSTANCE '
As the result of a gun accident
which occurred on Friday evening,
Misr Mary Cook, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. George Gook of the Bay-
field Roadi Goderich •township is in
Clinton 'Hospital suffering from a
shattered 'knee and Mrs. R. Grimold-
by of Constance is under 'medical
treatment at hone. Miss Cook who
was visiting her sister, Mrs. Joseph
Riley, Constance, was. one of a, sleigh
ing party going to spend the evening
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John
Storey a short distance from the vil-
lage. Frank Riley, who had been
hunting during the afternoon, had
placed his gun in the sleigh on one
of the seats; finding that the seats
would be crowded he decided to re-
move the gun and in doing so the
hammer must have come in contact
"with something with the result that
it discharged, and a part of the
charge of shot lodged in the young.
lady's knee. Mrs. Grimoldby was not
so directly in-line of fire and receiv-
ed only minor injuries; Miss Coek
was rushed to the hospital as speed-
ily as the roads and her painful con-
dition would permit and her wounds
received inedical treatntent..in time
to forestall danger of infection. It
was found that in addition to lacer-
ation of the flesh some of the shot
had penetrated the bone, the force
of the charge at such close range
being great. It was a wonder the
result was not even more serious. 1
Mr. Riley, it seems, thought the
shells had been removed from the
gun.
Miss Edythe Riley is at present
,visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
George Cooke of Goderich township.

Staffa, which occurred last.Thursday
at her late home., Mks. aleDonald
had been in poor heatlh for some
weeks and death was not unexpected.
IMP. and Mrs. John Mann and two
children of near Clinton spent Sun-
day at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Robt. Grimoldby.
We were sorry to hear of the ac-
cident which befell Mr. William Rinn
last Friday when the cutter in which
he was riding upset. Mr. Rinn sus-
tained a broken collar bone and sev-
eral fractured ribs. We wish Mr.
Rinn a very speedy recovery.

At a -recent convention of thresh;
ermen the frequency of barn fires,
especially at threshing time, came
• up for discussion and the eousensus
-of opinion was that if smoking about
the barn and threshing machine
were prohibited such fires would be
greatly lessened. It is surely a re-
flection on the commonsense of -nen
that they will deliberately, or care-
-leggy, subject themselves, their
neighbors or patrons to heavy fin-
ancial loss for the gratification of a
'habit. Any ratan who indulged in
smoking about a farm building last
summer, when everything was as dry
ns tinder, especially when threshing
• was in progress and the hazzard was
'increased one hundredfold, was cer-
'tainly lacking either in wit or good
intention. But there is the opinion
-of the threshermen.
