They Are Revealed at Denver in
Effort TO Improve Conditions.
The use of private letter boxes of
the Denver post office by young girls
and women has been restricted by
the raising of rents from 81 to 81 In
each case. Most of the women have
used these boxes to ply their trades
along lines that require secrecy. Scores
of schoolgirls have been using them
to conduct a clandestine correspond
ence. which in many cases has led to
their downfall. 1t was learned that
one girl would rent a box and then
permit number OF schoolgirls of her
own age to have mail addressed there
under fictitious names. Business men
and professional men tried in vain to
rent boxes. but because they had been
engaged by women or girls could not
engage them. Girls have been known
TO come to the Offices with notes pre-
tending TO be signed by their mothers.

Are YOU A Good Citizen?

| Cambridge has a Board of Trade. The
Board of Trade was organized, no o
play politics; not to furnish offices for
some of its members; not to be side
show for its officers to be used by them
| for private gain. The Cambridge Board
of Trade has but one object, and that is
the securing of the united efforts Of our
citizens toward identifying, building,
booming Cambridge and making it the
biggest and best city on the Shore; a
desirable place IN which to reside and
profitable place in which to do business.
No other city in Maryland has more
natural advantages than Cambridge,
but we have not done our best in using
and advertising our natural advantages.
Other and smaller towns have passed
us in getting aboard the train of modern
progress. Cambridge is getting awake
now to this fact, and we mus. awake all
the more to regain the ground we have
lost.
The Cambridge Board of Trade was
organized about three months ago, yet
It is do ng much for the movement to
beautify and boost our town. Already
we have $50 members, but we want more.
If the Board of Trade helps Cambria ge
it helps you. Don't be cheap and not
be member, and let some other fellow
pay for the benefit that will come to
you. Beautifying and boosting Cam
bridge will bring here the home-seeker
and the trader. Their coming helps the
town and helps you. Let us work to.
gether to bring them here. Join the
Board of Trade. The membership dues
are very small, but the little from many
makes a respectable fund for the cause
of Cambridge, and the larger the men,
bership the greater will be the influence
of the Board of Trade.
Ii you are not member, get an ap.
plication blank and have it presented
day night. If you are a member get
some of these application blanks at
once and bring to Thursdays meeting
the applications of your friends. Don't
sit back and let "tle other fellow do
the work; get busy.
A good citizen of Cambridge is on e
interested in and devoted to the adj
vancement of the best interests of Cam.
bridge. Our Board of Trade stands for
just this thing. Good citizens should
be in the Board of Trade; are you a
good citizen?

Latest Model Marine Motor Brake,

On Sunday last Mr.. Henry Lloyd, Jr.,
while taking run down the river in
his gasoline launch, with a party of
friends and his bird dog, experienced a
very novel and extraordinary acct dent.
When almost off Todd's Point, the
dogs tau became caught in the pro-
peller shaft, which wound it up as
though it had been a piece of string,
and only quick action on Mr.. Lloyd's
part in stopping the engine prevented
quick removal of the tail. AS it was,
quite a difficult task was experienced
in eXtricating the unfortunate animal,
and at one time it was thought expedi-
ent and necessary to then and there
make an amputation. Atlast. however,
success rewarded the untiring efforts of
those on board!
Mr.. Lloyd,.s dog has now practically
recovered from his accident, and with
the exception of having his rear ap-
pendage broken in several places, ap-
pears to be enjoying perfect health.
