MAN ESCAPES DEATH Joseph Hagerman, who is now lying in Port Hope Hospital with a broken leg, owes his life te the promt action of Carl Johns, driver for the Tanner Transport Company of Toronto. Johns was driving one of the company's heavy transports from Port Hope toward Toronto at about seven o'clock on Sunday night. At the outskirts of Port Hope he perceived the body of a man lying in the centre of the road, and being unable to stop the big truck in time to avoid running over him, took the only alternative course and swerved the truck into the ditch. It was practically broken in two, damage estimated at several hundred dollars being done. Johns escaped injury beyond a severe shaking up. The man lying on the road was found to be Joseph Hager- man, Cavan street. He was uncon- scious when removed to the hos- pital, his right leg was broken above the knee, Owing to the man's condition it has been impossible to ascertain how he was injured, but it is believed that he was struck by a passing car. When the auto in which they were driving sideswiped a car driven by R. Colbourne, Port Perry, on the Provincial Highway east of there on Saturday, two women, whose names cannot be learned, were badly cut by flying glass and were removed to Cobourg Hospital. Occupants of the Port Perry car, Mr. T. Beare, Port Perry, and Benjamin Pullman, Cobourg, escaped uninjured. Both cars were badly damaged. The women live in Lyn, Michigaw, and were motoring to that place from Ottawa. .

NOVEL DEVIGF PROTECTS COPS White Belts and Shoulder Straps for Traffic Officers a | wearin' his suspeaders outside his suit, Emma!' A little old woman blushingly nudged her companion, and drew her attention to the in- dividual at the cross roads. The object of her satire, looking steraly over his shoulder at this remark, but never wavered in his accustomed courtesy of helping the infirm across the busy streets. Little Willie, who first donned dad's suspenders was not less proud than the stern officer of the law in the person of the traffic policeman who today harnessed himself up with a safety device in the form of an immaculately white suspender affair, that henceforth insures his person agaiast injury by oncoming motor cars. The gleaming white parapherna- lia stands out in the dark as dis- tinctly as a phosphorous sign. Like a knight of old, with a gleaming cross over his breast, he wears his new 'fnsingnia with dignity. And when the night is dark, the officer need no more brace himself for a sudden "bump" by an ( 'oncoming motor car, whoes driver could not distinguish the dark coat from the dark night. For his new white immaculate suspenders are a 'sign' "Whoa---cop--ahead." PROTEST AGAINST "BEAU GESTE" FILM Dec. 15.

Mr. Grosset in his address of wel- come said he was proud to think that SS Melita was the 10,000th | ship to enter the port of Antwerp | since the beginning of the year, both | because she flew the British flag and because she was a Canadian Pa- cific ship. He pointed out that this vessel, the SS. Minnedosa. the SS. { Montnairn and the SS. Montroyal all used the port and during the [ eurrent year had carried over 10,- 1 000 passengers.

(Signed) Albert." Consul-General Rowley said that 10,000 ships withia a period of ten months and a half constituted a re- cord for any European port, Lon- don excepted. The port was outlet for an interior navigation through- out the couatry that represented a total of over ten million tons. A- bout the same tonnage represented ocean-going vessels using the port. Its reputation was very high in ship- ping circles. Capt. Notley also addressed the gathering "in a humorous speech which closed the proceedings.
