September %, on fishing expedition,

in search of warship to warn naval
vessels. In so doing, the Kilmarnock

and five men were killed, and John Ris-

capacitated. 1t was urged by the own

TURNPIKE COMPANY Given
S4O.Q33 BY COURT JURY
This Allowance Is to Cover Damages
Sustained by Plaintiff When State
Took Over Turnpike Between
chambersburg and Fulton County

Chambersburg, Dec. 19.-The jury in
common pleas court yesterday morning
returned sealed verdict, giving the
Chamoersburg & Bedford Turnpike
company an award of $40,033 in its
smt against the Commonwealth. II is
believed the turnpike company will take
an appeal.
The State recently took over the
turnpike between Chambersburg and
the Fulton county line, distance of
is 1-3 miles. Viewers awarded the
turnpike company $23,5S0. This was
not satisfactory to the company and
suit was brought, with the result that
verdict giving the company s16,453
more than the viewers allowed was
reached.
Witnesses for the turnpike company
placed the value of the highway at
from $4,000 to 100000. 1t was
shown that in 1912 the turnpike's s net
earnings were $4,000 and the estimate
for 1913 was that the profit would
reach $4,000.

REALISTIC DOLL BABIES

There are dolls peeping mischievously out from
behind counters in the stores these days that
attracting impassive grown-ups whose doll
days were long ago, or who never had any such
days at all. Something about these dolls is differ
ent from what the usual conception of dolls has
been. They look real almost alive. Intelligence
seems to come out through their eyes and they ap-
pear to be ready for romping good time. Char
acter dolls is what they are called.
These new sorts of dolls have apparently been
modelled from life. Some of them look rather
naughty, it must be admitted, but they look nat
ural The more conservative one look natural too
and the only choice is whether girl wants bad
little baby or goody goody one. That is, it is the
only choice other than that of race for best of all
there are black babies as well as white ones. No
distinctions of color were made in the production
of the character dolls
The recent revolts against beautiful, pink un-
natural doll faces excited by the efforts of young
women artifcially to acquire such features have
perhaps been responsible for the innovations in doll
manufacture AT any rate, it is refreshing to look
at the realistic doll babies of the new order after
the eyes have tired of seeing so many of the stiff
and prim creatures of the conventional type.

first there has been only one case of a
communicable disease in Gettysburg, ac-

During the months of August, Sep

modified quarantine placed on the house
apparently had its effect, for no fur

Investigation of the occurrence on the

the belief that the matter was purely
an accident. The knife blade fortu-
nately struck or a rib and probably
prevented the lad being fatally injured.

FROM EIGHTH GRADE TO HIGH SCHOOL

The abolition of the ninth grade in the Harris
burg schools, by unanimous vote of the School
Board last night, will make the grading of the
local schools uniform with the systems in other
cities of the state and will give the children of
Harrisburg an equal opportunity with children in
other communities to get their public schooling
with the least possible waste of time and effort
Nothing except the erecting of the badly needed
new high school building could be of as much bene-
fit to the public school children of this city as this
readjustment of grades, with semi-annual promo
tions, and the latter improvement will no doubt
hasten the former
Much that is useless, such as drills in complex
arithmetical and grammatical problems which are
now given merely to fill in the time will be dis
pensed with, giving the pupils opportunity to con-
cenrate their minds on really helpful school work
Then, too, really brilliant children will not be
held back and forced to study side by side with
their intellectual interiors, but will be promoted
according to their merits and be enabled to finish
high school work before they have passed into man.
