BLAND STREET IMPROVEMENT

The paving o. Bland street took a
new turn today when T.. T. Oliver.
who has been in litigation with the
city for several months over the
right OF way through his property.
notified the Bluestone Traction
Company not to lay track on his
property. The city authorities d.
rectel the Traction company to
change the location OF their track 10
the west side of the street and con-
tinue paving. They contend that
they can get along with a thirty foot
street and say they will withdraw
their application to condemn the
oliver property. This action. IL ad-
hered to. will leave IL to the new
administration to make a settlement
with oliver. IL 1t can be done. or get
along with very narrow street i'm
some places. 1t was the hope of the
people most int erested-those living
and owning property in South Blue-
held-that settlement could be
made and the Improvement proceed.
but it now looks as if settlement
was long ways off.

''These college girls" said a clergy
man as he gazed at the white and SUI
perb ranks Of the beautiful graduates
'are a boon to the race. They intro
duce new ideas.
II christened the other day the first
baby Of a married college girl. Now,
babies usually cry while they are be-
ing christened. but this one was as
quiet as a lamb Throughout the cere-
mony 1t smiled up beautifully into my
face.
"'Well, madam said to the young
wife at the christening's end, 4 must
congratulate you on your little ones
behavior. / have christened more than
1000 babies, but l never before chris
tened one that behaved so well as

''The young mother smiled demurely.
"'No wonder he behaved WELL she
said. His father and / with a pail Of
water have been practicing christening
on him for the last ten days
"The idea of rehearsing a baby for a
christening! Who but a college girl
