Cambridge still lacks, however, a beacon at one most important intersection--the blind corner by Jimmie's Lampoon Lunch, where Plympton Street, one of the chief means of local egress from the Metropolitan Parkway, crosses the Mt. Auburn Street artery. The collision which occurred there last evening was trifling, but it is only the long arm of coincidence that has as yet kept the crossing from being the scene of a really tragic accident.

It may happen that the economy involved in the practice of unlighted hall...

In addition to retiring rooms, the towers contain large stairways designed to furnish a rapid means of egress from the seats in the north...
