Zone of the happiest people in Towson-

| less cripple, who hobbies about the streets on
crutches, whistling and singing as though life
had no cares or troubles for him. Measured

at large in Towsontown or within one and a,
half miles of the place, taking the York road
and Chesapeake avenue as the central point.

THE nuisance of compelling passengers
on the York Road railway to change cars at
| Waverly station still continues. In addition
