Board Cars Now From the Right
Side.

The loss Of life by the boarding OF
cars in Frederick will be reduced to a
minimum on SUNDAY morning, shortly
after midnight, when the new order,
Boarding and Getting OF of Electric
Cars, - goes into effect simultaneously
as that law goes into effect. the Mayor
announces the enforcement of the law
that compels all automobiles. motor
cycles and vehicles of all varieties to
halt when passengers are getting off and
boarding an electric car.
1t was Mayor Fraley and Superintend.
ent r. Pau. Smith. OF the Hagerstown
aud Frederick Railway, that brought
about this new rule. The two men got
together and held several conferences.
The Mayor contended that the lives of
the public were constantly in jeopardy
bv the system which was used in getting
oH and on the cars; not that the railroad
was at fault but because no provision
has been made to have the public COM
ply with the most modern methods OF
getting on and off Of the cars.
The Mayor and Superintendent Smith
then struck compromise. II the Railroad
Company would provide the ways and
means of compelling the public to board
the trains from the right, the city would
see that all vehicles should stop when
the loading of the travelling public was
in process. Superintendent Smith then
agreed, and on Wednesday night re-
ported to the Mayor that every car on
the line had been equipped with ratings
on the left side. which would compel
the travelling public to use only the right
side.

Farmers Must Fight the Worm.

The crusade against the army worm !"
which has appeared in Frederick
county for the PAST week, and has
made its presence generally felt on the
nice, velvety laws, is now being actively
carried on in Frederick county, for on
Monday morning thousands appeared
on the farm of George Harmon, of Ar
ably, this county. By nine o'clock that
morning h e army had taken pos
session of the entire field, and had be-
gun to eat up things on the farm owned
by Mr.. William Rhoderick.
DIR. August Stabler, of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
County Farm Demonstration Emory c.
Remsburg. were called and went to the
farm to see just how much the worms
had destroyed. DIR. Stabler advised Mr..
Harmon to pillow several burrows about
his field, and then set fire to it. He also
recommended that the field be plowed
Immediately, and deeply so that any
worms that escaped the fire would be
killed

Less Danger in Proposed Road

A scheme has been placed before the
Good Roads Commission of Maryland
which provides for the opening up of
about mile of road through the proper
ties of Noah E. Cramer, County Com
missioner John W. Humm and J. F. Gro
Mise, and joining the Emmitsburg pike
and the road of the Woodsboro and
Frederick Turnpike Company. The plan
eliminates two crossings of the Northern
Central railroad, one directly in front of
Rose Hill, " owned by Mr.. Cramer, and
the other at Harmony Grove station. At
the same time the proposed link is Slight
" shorter and the grades will not be SO
great.
AT the present time the highway of the
Woodsboro and Frederick Turnpike
Company extends directly from Freder-
lex to the old Worman's MILL where the
Emmitsburg pike intersects. The new
route is perhaps more direct running al
most directly in straight line from Fred
erick to HARMONY Grove on the west side
of the railroad line 1t is believed that
the residents in that section of the county
will generally urge and back the granting
OF this petition.

Gasoline Under the Pavement

To have gasoline stored away under
the pavement in front of garages for the
convenience of statesmen OF gasoline to
motorists is the latest device which is
now being used in Frederick. AS much
as 500 gallons of the gasoline can be
stored away in the huge tank under the
sidewalk. Fire or water can not pene-
trate into any part OF the contrivance
At the edge Of the side walk is built
an automatic measurer of the amount
OF the liquid sold. SO that the invention
makes great convenience to autoists.
The tank goes down under the pavement
for four feet, and is drawn up through
tubing when necessary. Two such under
ground tanks arein use IN Frederick, one
at the National Garage, West Patrick
street, and another at the Davis Garage,
South Market street.

Motor Pu mps Braddock Water.

The Braddock Heights Water Com
pany has received horse power, five
hundred volt electric motor, which will
be installed at the srtesian well drilled
last summer. This motor will be made
ready for use during the month of Au-
gust, the busiest season at the Heights.

considerable trouble was experienced in
getting the proper water supply at the

motor, every resident will be given an
excellent water supply.

The object and purpose of the Bill of
Complaint, filed in this cause, is to procure
decree for the sale of certain dwelling
houses and lots of ground, situated in
Frederick City, Frederick County, in the
State of Maryland.
The bill alleges that a certain George
Hammers, late of Frederick County, de-
ceased, devised his real estate unto his
three children: Alice V. Hammers, Charles
F. Hammers and Mary A. G. Hammers,
two of whom died after their father, but
before arriving at the age of twenty-one
years; that Mary A. c. Hammers survived
her brother and sister and departed this
life in or about the month of "A. d.
1914, unmarried and intestate; that the
plaintiff and the defendants in this case
are first cousins of the said Mary A. C.
Hammers and her sole heirs at law and
next of kin.
The bill then alleges that the said prop
critics are not capable of being divided
among the parties entitled thereto, without
loss and injury, and prays that the same
may be sold under decree of the Court
and the proceeds of said sale divided
among the parties thereunto entitled as
their interest may appear, and for general
relief
1t is thereupon, this 18th day of July,
A. D. 1914, by the Circuit Court for Fred
erick County, sitting as Court Of Equity,
and by the authority thereof, adjudged
and ordered that the purpose and object of
the aforegoing Bill of Complaint be pub
lished in some newspaper published in
Frederick County, once a week for four
successive weeks prior to the 18th day of
August A. D. 1914, giving notice to the
said Charles E. Koontz and Bertha Rey-
nolds and --- Reynolds, her husband,
of the object and purpose of the Bill of
Complaint, and warning them and each
of them to be and appear in this Court, in
person or by solicitor, on or before the
3lst day of August, A. D. 1914, to show
cause, if any they may have, why decree
ought not to be passed as prayed and to
abide by and perform such decree as may
be passed herein.
