There were the usual number of
automobile mishaps thruout this com-
munity and fortune again smiled on
as no one was ser-
ioysl$ injured.
- Trolley Mashes Car
An" automobile driven by Miss
Irene Lupold, of East Petersburg,
stalled on the trolley , tracks about
one mile west of Hellam Saturday
night and was wrecked when the
#& motorman of the approaching trolley
failed to see the machine.
The machine skidded on the slip-
pery roadbed, spun around several
times and landed on the track. Miss
Lupold and Albert Einolf, of Lan-
caster, returning with her from
the Army and Navy football game at
Baltimore, went to the top of a hill
to signal the trolley but too late to
avoid the collision.
No one was injured. The machine
was without passengers when the
smash-up occurred.
Car Badly Wrecked
Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Sprout, of
Maytown, were driving east on Main
street in a Ford sedan Sunday even-
ing. Mr. Sprout signaled and then
turned north on Jacob street. Miss
Pauline Aston and her father were
also traveling east in a Maxwell
coupe and attempted to pass Mr.
Sprout’s Ford at the street crossing.
Miss Aston’s car struck the Ford on
the side, carried it across the street
and mashed it against a telephone
pole in front of the residence of
Mr. B. W. Brown. Mrs. Sprout was
cut about the head and arms. Miss
Aston was cut in the face. The
other occupants escaped uninjured.
The Ford was "damaged beyond re-
amr | but Ghose Maxwell was oniy
slightly damaged. ‘the Maxwell was

A PURE WHITE SQUIRREL
SHOT IN PERRY COUNTY
The albino squirrel that was on
exhibition in the window of a hard-
ware store at Lancaster, is about to
join an unusual group of pure white
animals and birds that adorn the
State Museum at Harrisburg.
The squirrel is a perfect type ‘of
albino, being pure white with pink
eyes and greatly resembles an er-
mine, although it has coarser fur.
The animal was killed near Landis-
burg, Perry county. It belongs to
the grey squirrel family and its
color is the result of lack of pig-
ment.
The advent of the white squirrel
at the State Museum will complete
an albino quartette, the other mem-
bers being a white crow, a white
robin and a white racoon, which
have been secured by Dr. Boyd P.
Rothrock, State curator.
A golden eagle, also taken in
Perry county, is another unusual
specimen has has recently been add-
ed to the State collection.
