TACKLES BIG DUST PROBLEM Would Force Street Railway Company to Sprinkle TWO ORDINANCES PASSED Complaint Is Made That Cars Are Principal Factors In Raising
 Dust Along Very Dusty
 Thoroughfare.
TWO ORDINANCES PASSED

Elyton has gone 'anti-dust," the Coun- cil of that thriving municipality having unanimously passed an ordinance making it compulsory for the street car com pany to sprinkle in between and for a space of three feet outside it's tracks. This ordinance will go into effect May 1 and under it every motorman. and con- GuctoI+ running a car through the town without the streets having been sprinkled by the street car company may be placed under arrest, while the franchise of the company may be revoked.
 The passing of this ordinance by Elyton, it is believed, will be followed by the passing of similar ordinances by the town of West End. Two ordinances were passed by the Elyton Council one mak- ing it unlawful for any company to 'oper- ate a street car line through the streets of Elyton without sprinkling the streets, and another making in unlawful for any motorman, conductor or other person to operate a car under such conditions. The penalty named in the last mentioned ordi- mace places fine of from $1 to s1Oo and a sentence of from one to 1S0 days hard labor.
 An investigation was made of the law in the case before the passage of the ordinances. In speaking of this Mayor Frank Smith said that no doubt ex- isted as to the legality of the ordinances, as they come under the head of "health" ," in what is construed as general police authority.

 This paper does not often takes the risk of volunteering financial counsel Just year ago, based upon economies and the times. we advised those who had idle money to put 1t in standard stocks and first rate bonds.

If you intend to build soont do if now Borrow, if necessary whan- ever. under your own circumstances, Is a prudent portion of the cost. All thf elements for such an operation is chealp. Money loans at the lowest rates for years; labor ls little less costly than if has been for years, much lower than it will be for long time to come. The materials for construction, especially lumber, are very cheap. Flooring in most localities Is twenty per cent be- low its price a year ago; and hardwood may be had for tho former cost or soff woods. Build now for your own advantage; you will employ idle labor relieve dealers of their stocks ana help along prosperity for all. For such as reside where the weather makes present building impossible, the oppor- tunity may wait till spring, but surely not much longer.

The second Harvard man happened to be in Washington q couple of years ago and with his young son was taken by d friend to the White House to be introduced to the president Ac- cording to the story, President Roose- velt. as soon.as he noticed the visitor, whom he had not seen for years if at aIl exclaimed "Hold onl I know you Your name is -+--, You are the man who scored a touchdown on Vale" Af- terward the incident was recounted to the Princeton coach as another iu- stance of President Roosevelt's amazing memory for names and faces, But the Princeton man did not seem at all in- pressed. When asked why not he re- marked pOintodly, "Do you suppose Harvard scores often enough on Yale for the fellow who happens to make the score not to be forever known to every other Harvard manY'
