Fred Stohlmau. who is building a large
addition 10 his bakery in the rear Of
Forrest Hall and fronting on y street.
IS much disappointed over the ruling Of
Of the Building Inspectors Office, which
prevents him from carrying out his or
icinaI plan Of having The first floor OF

bakery glassed In order that the publs,
could view from the sidewalk the mod

in bread making in large bakeries.
This feature OF the bakery plan was
suggested by a large bakery in Phila-
delphia that presents to the public.
through glass fronts. the interior of the
bake shop with ovens and making equip
ment.
The objection to the adoption of the
plan in connection with the George
town bakery is due to the fact that a
satisfactory location of the ovens from
the siRhtsecrs point of view would be
contrary 10 the building regulations r.
fecting the construction of such equip

ApPEALs TO PASSION AGAIN

The Spirit Of the Valley, one Of the
best papers that come TO our desk
says that the editor Of the Herald
should apologize for its recent state
ment that Judge Lewis reached very
low level in his campaign for Govern
or.
The Herald is always glad to apollo
gize for any mistake. Ii is the manly
thing 20 do. But it cannot apologize
for making a statement it believes To
bee true. Judge Lewis unmasked him
self in the last days Of his campaign
and shocked even his best friends. He
denied what had not been charged
against him; and this was his flimsy
excuse for his wild outburst.
