Proposed Trolley Lines.

Plans for trolley line connecting Han

in this vicinity. following the visit here

and York pixies. 1t is rumored that
Phila delphia syndicate has proposition
under way to acquire the holdings of the
C. Taylor Leland interests in the Gettys-
burg Rapid Transit company's holdings,
in the way of franchises here, so as to
make possible connection with the York
Railways company in Hanover and the
line at Chambersburg.
1t is believed that, following the visit
of the former Western Maryland engi-
neer. the proposition has gained such
headway as to finance preliminary sur
vey, which was undoubtedly made by
Mr.. Carmichael while he was in this vi
cinity Finances are said to have been
supplied by Phlladelphla and Baltimore
bankers who are reported to be back of
the scheme to connect the world-famous
battlefield with York and Hagerstown.
Just what plan has been adopted is not
known at this time, as none Of the men
interested could be reached, but it is sup
posed that, in view of Carmichae's visit
here and the mystery which surrounded
it, coupled with the report from Phila-
delphia that financial men of that city
had become interested in the proposition
to make Gettysburg the meca of summer
tourists from Eastern Pennsylvania and
Maryland, the deal has progressed far
enough to make the elimination quite
likely during the coming summer. Star

Reason for White on Bricks.
N. T. Haller, Architect, Gives
Result of His Observations.

"
Some weeks ago inquiry was made oy
citizens of Frederick city through the
press as to why white substance form
ed on brick in buildings in that city. AT
that time no reason could be assigned.
After reading the article we took notice
of the new High School building being
erected at Thurmont, and we find TINS
white substance has formed oyer much
of the front of the building which faces
the north. The west side is equally bad
and but little is seen on the other sides.
In an article appearing in the Frederick
News last week, Mr.. N. T. Haller, an
architect of Washington, d. c.. gives
the following reason for the whiteness
on the brick buildings. His letter is as
follows:
81 have been reading in The News
about the white dust on the fronts OF
brick buildings in Frederick. Now after
twenty-five years as an architect III
Washington, find that the white dust
on the buildings will only show up on
porous press brick of any color. AS the
bricks are porous, they absorb the damp
ness; and before the bricks dry out, they
are affected by a mould which is created
by the dampness in the bricks bringing
out the salt and sulphur, which is in the
clay when the bricks are made.
"This will occur only in porous bricks
which are generally made of dry clay,
pulp or tempered clay not being used
This mostly occurs where the building
stands on the south side OF the street
and the front facing north. Where the
stain does occur on the front of the build
ing, you will find in most cases that
dampness will show on the interior faces
of the walls and very often the papering
will cleave off, some times the pastering
also.
"This trouble will never occur where
impervious bricks are used. There are
quite a number of transparent water
proofng remedies that, if properly ap-
piled, will cure leaky wall.

Gering, Neb., March l6, 1915.

Gerlng, Neb., Marcn 10, 1919.
Mr.. Editor.
see from the daily papers that
it seems that free speech and free press
are on trial for their life. What is the
matter with some OF the gentlemen In
our United States Congress? There is
now pending in Congress bill to author
ize the Postmaster General to exclude
any matter of publication from the mails
which criticlse or condemn certain per-
sons and organizations; presume that
would include Odd Fellowship and Free
Masonery as well. Yes it is serious
thing for any one to NEEDLE with free
speech and free press.
If the people of the United States
wishes to get on the same level with
Mexico, Russia, Italy or Poland, and
some others that we might name, all
they will have to do is allow free speech
and free press stopped or put under CEN
sorship.
In the ante bellum days it was danger
Gus for any one to condemn slavery.
Lovejoy, Garrison, and number of
abolitionists throughout the free states
of the Union were mobbed for exposing
slavery and its evils in the southern
States. 1t is a matter of history now
what resulted in trying to prevent free
speech and freedom of the press at that
time.
The question now is will the right of
free speech and free press have to be
settled in the same manner that human
slavery was settled. We hope not.
Yes it is one of the very serious things
for any body or any one to be tampering
with the press, free speech or free insti-
tutions of this republic.
Vigilence is the price of liberty.
