WOMEN RUN STREET CARS.
Are Taught I'm schools for Con.
duct0reSseS" In Germany.

Berlin, July 16:-The art of con-
Quoting" a street car through the
crowded thoroughfares Of Berlin is
being taught to women in five
schools for conductoresses." " which
graduate" each week total of
between 800 and 400 female con-
ductors to take the places of men
gone to the war.
Not since the earliest days Of the
electric car in Berlin have pupils who
were candidates for positions IT the
back platform proved as apt as are
the women who once were consider
ed as absolutely unified for this
supposedly masculine work. Be-
tween $500 and 5000 women are
now employed, and, incidentally,
every one who has applied passed
the preliminary examination. A
large percentage, however, can not
stand the strain and have to seek
other work.
The women are given theoreti-
cal course of three days, eight hours
day, in one of the five schools that
are located in Charlottenburg, Trep-
tow, Lichterfelde, Lichterberg and
Weissensee, suburbs of Berlin. This
is followed by a longer period of
practical training, during which they
are accompanied on genuine trips
by experienced conductors, learn
the names of the streets, and have
chance to put their theoretical train
ing into use.
The Berlin public has co-operated
heartily with the street car authori-
ties in it's introduction Of women on
the cars. There has as yet been nc
single case recorded of an insult
to one of the female conductors. and
it is rare that passengers have not
cheerfully been willing to put up
with 'greenness" and inexperience.

Fishermen Take Notice.

The season for fishing is again fast APP
preaching - in fact some fishermen thot
that on the 9Th, Monday last, the open
season for trout had arriv ed. A change
in the law was unknown to many and
one person, Mr. John Tom Davis, says it
came near catching him. An item pub
lished in Tuesdays Post is as follows:
"A mistake in the compilation of d.
gest of the State Game Warden James
P. Curley may be the cause of viola ton
of the brook trout law, unless fishermen
have been careful enough to consult the
warden relative to the season. BY the
digest for 1914 and 1915 brook trout may
be caught with hook and line today.
This, according to Warden Curley, in
letter to C. A. Tenny, State Roads COM
mission agent in this district, is mis-
take. The law does not go into effect
until March 81. Trout may be caught
from March 81 to July l. An extract
from the law says that 'it shall be I'M
lawful and no person shall between the
3lst of March and the LIST day of July,
catch more than 40 brook trout in one
day, nor less than six inches in length.
The penalty is 81 and not more than SIS
fine for each fish. -

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Coming week of March 22nd, Klaw &
Erlanger will present the remarkably
successful comedy-drama,
"MILESTONES,"
presented by distinguished cast, with
record of two years in London and one
entire season in New York.
milestone" is one of the most talked
of plays of the generation. Written in
collaboration of Arnold Bennett, author
of many famous novels and essays, and
Edward Knoblauch, author of "Kismet',
"Milestones" is something different in
dramatic literature; it is play of ideas,
a play of unusual heart-interest, a play
that takes the auditor into its confidence
and makes him the lifelong friend of the
characters so deftly drawn by the famous
English novelist, and the equally cele-
brated American dramatist. The roles
call for the greatest versatility on the
part of the actors and the Interpretation
of this most delightful of plays is said to
be revelation in the art of the stage.
The play is interpreted by remarkable
company of players whose versatility and
brilliancy have called for superlative
praise everywhere.
"Milestones' deals with love affairs of
three generations, and although the vari-
GUS acts are all set in the same room, in
the same house, the curtain rises each
time upon different setting, represent
ing the periods of 1860, 1885 and 1912.
This unique play will be presented ex-
actly as given during its great success at
the Metropolis and elsewhere

Dave" Home Again.
Mystery Deep Concerning His
Voyage to Florida.

Many of our readers and people OF this
vicinity will be glad to learn that Mr..
David Firor, confectioner Of this place.
who disappeared in a very mysterious
manner on March End, is again in Thur
mont.
AS he has been heretofore reported,
"Dave", as he is Familiarity addressed,
left Thurmont for Baltimore. He was
seen and spoken to by Miss Helen Rouzer
during the afternoon of that day and
from that time until Friday, March 18th.
his whereabouts was unknown. At that
time letter was received from him. the
same being mailed from Jacksonville,
Florida.
In the meantime Mr.. William Firor,
his brother, came from Athens. Ca, and
after spending few hours in Thurmont.
went to Baltimore and got in touch with
the police and detective department OF
that city and complete search through
hospitals, slums and joints of all descrip-
ton. was made, but nothing could be
learned.
When word was received here that
Dave" was in Jacksonville, word was
communicated to his brother in Balti-
more who at once left for the south, ar
irving in Jack sonville Saturday evening
where his brother awaited his arrival at
the depot.
Nothing in regard to how Dave" got
to Mayport is known by him personally.
On awaking in lodging house in May
port, Florida, he was told by an Italian,
evidentally a man of means and influence,
and manager of the Gulf Dredging Co.,
that he was signalled by tramp steam
er that very sick man was aboard and
that he be taken off the vessel and sent
to hospital. The Italian, in launch,
took him ashore and cared for him, pro-
viding him with food and money and took
him from Mayport to Jacksonville, ar
irving there on or about March 9th.
The two young men arrived in Thur
mont Monday noon, and since that time
Dave" has been in his store much OF
the time, though he complains much
from experiences of the past. In all
probability the business will be conduct
ed as usual by him, much depending on
his health.
