First Trip Success.-A letter from Bel
air dated April 14th says: 1.-THE Automobile
Company of Hartford county, which was in
corpOrated here few days ago for the purpose
of establishing and maintaining lines of stages
and stage coaches to be propelled by steam,
electricity or gasoline demonstrated today the
practicability of operating such lines in this
county.
"a large car was sent here from Baltimore
for the use of the Hartford Automobile Com
pany with which to make a trial trip. Ar
rangements for the trip were perfected by Mr..
]. Alexis Shriver, one of the incorporates OF
the new company, and general manager OF the
Baltimore and Belair Electric Railroad.
"a party of eleven started from Belair in the
car this afternoon and rode distance of IA
miles to Carney, the terminus of the electric
line, the distance being covered in one hour
and half. The return trip was made in much
less time. The run was highly successful and
it is probable by May 18th the company will
be operating an automobile line from Belair
to Carney, thus establishing direct route to
Baltimore. Once having made the start the
company will extend the automobile line to
other points in Hartford and Baltimore counties.
THE party also inspected the new Balti-
more and Belair electric line from Carney to
Hamilton"

THE YOU'VE Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor, which recently reached its twenty
fifth birthday, has a membership of 1919, 800,
and its societies number 65,327, of which 500
are in Europe. The movement has extended
to China, Japan, Persia, Syria, Corea and
Armenia. In Australia there is large mem.
bership. Germany shows the highest rate OF.
increase in Europe. The great growth of such
a society is very encouraging. We so often
confronted with the seamy side of social and
political life that we wonder if any good thing
is going on at all. We forget silent church
forces, Christian Endeavor Societies, the Ep-
worth League the Y. M. G. AS, the Sunday
school and SO on, which are turning out big
ger army than the drilled lieutenants of corrupt
politics. This old world will right itself yet.

Perhaps This is the Last of the Suits:-ln
the Circuit Court at Towson on Monday judg-
ment was obtained by the Commercial and Far
mers' National Bank, of Baltimore, against }.
S1S 141.67. This is perhaps the last of the cases
growing out of the failure of the United Milk
Producers Association, the suit having been
brought on guaranty signed by Mr.. McCor-
mick and number of others indemnifying
the bank against loss through discounting che
such notes to the extent of $4,000, none of
which notes, it was alleged, was paid: The
suit was originally instituted in Hartford coun-
ty, where it resulted in verdict for the amount
claimed. 1t was then taken to the Court Of
Appeals, and the judgment was reversed and
the case remanded for new trial: 1t was then
removed to Baltimore county. When the case
was called it was stated that the defendant
would make no defense, but would allow
Judgment to be entered up.

Lecture to Housekeepers-How to Get
Pure Food.-On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. ]. j.
Abel spoke before the members of the Wo-
mans Club of Roland Park on THE Adultera-
ton of Foods" She told them that the adul-
teration of food was largely due to the house
keepers themselves, who demanded maple
sugar in February, when they know the only
good maple sugar to be had was when the sap
was running in the Maine trees; sweet cider
in January; who bought skinned milk and
wanted cream, and who went to market at
night and asked for good red chops, when they
knew that meats without preservatives did
not keep their color over six hours.
Mrs. Abeps advice is for the housekeeper to
know the quality of food that reaches the cook,
to talk with the dealers and to send suspected
samples of food to the Health Department.
Among the things needed, Mrs. Abel says:
are pamphlets on food questions and pure-food
show that will not be an advertising scheme
Such foods as fruit. cheese, butter, bread, cakes
and vegetables exposed on market stalls to the
dust should be thoroughly washed before
using.
