Police Court Chronicles

Every time that Herbert Fritz gets
drunk he comes home and whips the
family. the neighbors say Screams and
crashes in the Fritz home at Thompson
and Carson streets, are sure signs that
Fritz is drunk again. Fritz believes In
the old idea that misery loves company,
and II llghtens the woes OF his wife, in
his opinion, II he beats his six children
after thrashing the woman who once
kept step with him in the wedding
march.
But 1t appears that Mrs. Fritz is of n
very forgiving nature, and as long as
she survives each attack with her chill

ST. swITHIN AsTRAY
Old Simeon Mokemacher's Prediction
Falls Flat.

Old Simeon Mokemacher has lost out
and Weatherman Bliss has won,
1t did not rain yesterday and the st.
swithin tradition for this year has gone
by the boards. 81 said II couldn't go
wrong, and therefore the Andalusian
goosebone prophet is travelling around in
sackcIoth and ashes, while a smile of
saved, reputation plays on the face of the
official weather forecaster. But even
at that the score is just tie.
Simeon put 1t all over the Weather Bu-
reau last winter when 1t came to pre-
dieting the number OF snowstorms slated
for this city, and he says that he will
get the local forecaster along those lines
again next winter. Mr.. Bliss says he will
take up the matter then.
Old Simeon, like a good sport. after
admitting he was licked, proceeded on
his way Back TO Andalusla to take the
roof off his shack out there, which he
nailed on tight in anticipation OF 40 days
of rain. in accordance with the st.
Swithin forecast.

WAY NOW CLEARED
FOR NEW LIBRARY
City Solicitors Opinion Makes
Possible Construction of
Building.

After years of delay, the trustees of tho
Free Library of Philadelphia, are en-
powered to have the new central library
erected at l9th and Vine streets. The
structure will be the first of the public
buildings to be erected on the Parkway.
Its construction has been made possible
by an opinion handed down by City So
licitor Ryan yesterday authorizing the
trustees TO use the rest of the 81, 900, 900
loan of 1895, and that of last year, Of
$4,000, for the erection Of the main build
Ing.
The first loan was for the construction
of a completed library building" More
than $500, 900 was expended In the purchase
of land, and the trustees then planned
starting work on library which would
eventually cost $4,000 900. When informed
that, under the terms OF the loan, they
must complete the structure with the
remaining S7s5, 4li, they abandoned the
plan temporarily.
City Solicitor Ryan's opinion is based
upon the fact that the $4,000 loan of
last year authorizes the expenditure of
money toward the construction Of the
building, and allows the work Of build
ing of the library to be done on the sec
tonal plan. first using the balance OF
the old loan and then the $4,000 His
opinion asserts in part:
"If. then, Councils have in pursuance
OF the second vote of the people specif-
ically directed the erection of a library
building and have appropriated the $4,000
mentioned in the ordinance of 1914, to-
gether with the balance Of the Sl,0OO,0OO
loan of 1898 for beginning the erection Of
library building. there no longer re-
mains any objection to proceeding with
the work and using the aggregate fund
remaining for the purpose of beginning
such construction"
Henry r. Edmunds, president OF the
board of trustees of the Free Library.
asserts that proposals for bids will be
asked early in the fall and the work of
on the original plans begun
ao early in the winter as possible.

Walls Rising Fast

st. Johns-Masons began work on
the new building for the Smith garage
on Monday, November %. About
twenty-one are at work and the walls
are rising fast. They are made of
red shale brick on the outside and
white sand brick on the inside. Four
large plate glass windows will be put
in on the southeast corner where the
showrooms and Offices are to be. Ten
large fenestra windows or floor to
ceiling windows as they are called
such as are being put in on the north
and west sides where the repair room
is to be. AS soon as the walls are
done and the steel trusses for the
roof can be procured, the building will
be enclosed and steam heating plant
installed so that the interior finishing
work can go on during the winter. A
ladies' rest room is also planned. This
will be great convenience to people
who are making cross country trips.
The building is going to be credit
to the city.

FORD'S PEACE PARTY
WILL SAIL THIS WEEK

Henry Ford, multimillionaire auto
mobile manufacturer, has chartered
from the Scandinavian line the steam
er Oscar III. The price to be paid is
81 100000. He proposes to sail from
New York, December A, with a large
delegation of peace advocates with a
view of calling a conference of neutral
nations in an effort to induce or COM
pei the belligerent nations to end the
war on or before Christmas day.
The slogan which Mr.. Ford has
adopted is, 1--WE will try to crush mil
itarism and get those boys out of the
trenches by Christmas Day and have
them back in their homes"
While there are many people in
favor of the peace proposition, there
are also many opposed to it. Here
are some opinions of the press. The
New York World says: Henry Ford
says he would give all his fortune to
end the war. So would many another
man. But this is something that
money will not do. Within the past
Is months the Rockefellers and Car
negies, not to speak Of the Fords,
must have felt as never before how
feeble a thing is even vast wealth in
the mighty tide of a great world con-
flict.
The Philadelphia Record says
Henry Ford's millions have gone to
his head. The fact that a man can
make a cheap automobile is not nee
essarily a qualification for becoming
world leader and showing all the
belligerents how much pleasanter and
cheaper peace is than war. His ex
cursion party of pacifists will not be
any more successful than Jane Adj
dams and her convention of women.
There is nothing that either can tell
the belligerents about war that they
do not already know very well, much
better than Henry Ford or Jane Adj
dams do.
The Boston Journal says: Henry
Ford's peace ship does not represent
sober second thought. To believe
that it did would be to doubt the keen
ness of that great business mind. Mr..
Ford. having more money than any
man needs and more than even an in
ventor can spend, was in hurry to
throw some of his millions into the
task of ending the war. The impulse
was noble, but he throws without aim
ing. He trusts to the range-findins.
of others, and such others as
w. j. Bryan, one of the widest Wis
ionaries ever tolerated in American
politics.
Mr. Ford's many well wishers would
like to believe that shipload of plat
form orators could stop the war and
bring Europe to its senses-would like
to believe, but they can't.
Europe, meanwhile, knows better
than to suppose Mr.. Ford's liner of
love is a jolly-boat from the American
ship Of state, so the governments over
there won't take Alfonso at any un-
welcome activities.
1t will be Ford peace conference.
The name of America is being saved
for bigger service.

Gets Hunting Marriage License

Hastings-County Clerk Andrus be-
lieves the joke is on him. At any
rate, he is seeing no reason why he
should not be held responsible for an
amusing little episode which happened
several days ago. Mr.. Andrus has
been issuing resident hunting licenses
at his home in the evening SO that it
will not be necessary to disappoint
those who come after closing hours.
One evening a citizen called at the
county clerks residence and asked
whether he intended to return to the
Office that evening
Whats the matter, do you want a
license ?" asked the clerk, who has had
many callers for licenses.
Eyes" the caller replied.
Come right in. | have licenses
ready for emergencies of this kind"
said the clerk.
The man paid his fee and left.
Hurrying to his waiting bride, the man
showed her the document, which was
to make them one. The bride exam
ined the license and much to her dis
may found that it was a permit Civ
ing her husband the right to hunt
small game instead of the privilege of
leading her to the altar. The justice
was waiting to tie the knot and the
bride anxiously waited until the bride
groom FASTENED to the clerks home
and had the error rectified. Then the
ceremony was performed.

TAKE OUT MY WANT AID
HAVE SOLD MY STOVE"

Take out my For Sale ad, my
stove is sold" This was the word re-
ceived by the Banner from f. B.
Seelye only a few hours after the reg
ular weekly issue had reached it's
large list of readers last week. Mr..
Seelye had inserted an advertisement
in the Banner Want Column telling
about his coal stove for sale. Within
only a very few hours after publica-
ton the little ad had found many buy
ers for the stove. The result was
a satisfactory sale at once.
Another instance of the good re-
suits being gained from Banner Want
ads is shown in the following circum-
stance A resident of Bedding adver-
tised an outdoor closet for sale two
weeks ago. Within few days up
ward of a score of people inquired
with the idea of buying. The closet
was sold within two days, but the in
quiries continued to come.
The Banner Want column will find
buyer for anything you want to sell,
if there is anyone who wants the par
ticular thing you are advertising for
sale. 1t will find all the prospective
buyers, too, because everyone reads
the Banner. Try the Banner Want
column when you have anything to
sell or want to buy anything and be
convinced Of the service it will give
you.
