—-On Tuesday morning about 9.30 hb
o'clock, as county commissioner W. H.
Noll was on his way to Bellefonte mn his
Ford delivery car, driven by his son Ray,
he collided with another Ford car driven
by W. C. Berkstresser, of Norristown.
The accident happened on the sharp
curve at the old Nittany furnace. The
Nolls were on their side of the road and
Berkstresser was also on that side, which
was the wrong side for him. When they
saw each other, both young Noll and
Berkstresser attempted to pull to the
other side and naturally there was a col-
lision. Mr. Berkstresser had a lady in
the car with him and fortunate as it may
seem, none of the occupants of either car
were hurt. Both cars, however, were
considerably damaged about the front
and radiator. Berkstresser was able to
drive his car back to the garage but Mr.
Noll had to have his pulled in.

Rosseau, Ontario. Mr. Bell had some interesting
experiences in Canada, Lake Rosseau is about
one hundred and fifty miles north of Toronto
and when his summer's work was over he went
to Toronto, where he spent some time. Toronto
is now the military drilling place for Canadian
soldiers being trained for the European war and
Mr. Bell naturally was much interested in their
military movements, but when he was ready to
return to the United States he was politely but
firmly requested to remain in Canada, as his
services might be needed at the instruction
camps. Theonly reason he was allowed to go
was when he showed a letter which offered him
a good position in the States. It is highly proba-
ble, however, that the Canadian authorities have
kept tab on him and may recall him at any time.
Mr. Bell now has abrother a first lieutenant in
the English army, and the latter's two sons are
second lieutenants.
