BRIGHTEN THE CORNER
WHERE SOUTH ST. Is
Wood Blocks, New Lights, Re-
moval of Awnings on I'M
provement Program

A new day has dawned for South street.
A movement has been started to make
the street bright and clean and cheerful
and work is now under way.
The old order on South street is to
change. This metamorphosis was actu-
ally started Saturday when the first wood
block was laid at sixth street. The en-
tire street, from Second street to the
schuylkill River. is to be paved with wood
blocks.
This is but one of the many changes
to be made. All of the awnings that, in
great abundance, extend over the side
walk from the South street stores are to
be torn down, and the pavements will be
unobstructed. Telegraph and telephone
wires will be placed underground and the
poles supporting them will be removed.
The South street merchants even want
to name the street anew in order that
the change will be more complete. They
say the name of their thoroughfare has
ccme to have an odious sound in the ears
~ Philadelphia people. They suggest as
substitute University avenue"
There are to be SO new lights on the
street-big lights that will make the IL
Elimination compare favorably with that

| ter trolley facilities. For the business
men hope to have the I'd street line which
now ends at Dock street, turned west over

TO SERVE WARRANTS
ON 1900 MOTORISTS
Police Prepare for Wholesale
Prosecution of Northeast
Boulevard Speeders

More than a thousand motorists. who
have been burning up the road" along
the Northeast Boulevard: will be re-
quired to pay into the treasury of the
city certain specified sums in fines within
the next few weeks. according to Police
Captain McFadden. of the 4th police divi-
sion.
For months the police have been
troubled by the boulevard speeders.
Nearly every car that could be coaxed
into breaking the 2l-mile speed limit on
the fine thoroughfare has been tried out
at some time or other, the police say, and
accidents have been numerous.
Drivers of some cars rode without tail
lights and frequently stopped in the mid
die of the road. other cars crashed into
them and there was work for the hos
pitfalls. Motorists who tried to drive at
a sane pace along the boulevard began to
complain
Captain McFadden, who has charge of
the district including the boulevard, ac-
cordingly put eight motorcycle policemen
and eight plain clothes man at work to
get numbers. They have been at this
for three or four weeks and now have
names of 1900 motorists accused of break
ing the speed law.

AVAST, SMUGGLED FURS, MAYBE?
AWFULLY CHEAP AND DEAR AT THAT
Beware, Milady, When the Rocking Jack Tar Opens
Up His Mysterious Sea Chest Full of Sables
and Kisses "Sh-h-h" to You

A blast of salt air blew into an office
in the shadow OF City Hall. Tanned em-
ployes, who had just returned from sea-
shore vacations, looked up expectantly
and were amazed to see a genuine sailor
Juggling a weather-beaten sea chest. He
put his finger to his lips cautiously,
placed his burden on the floor and closed
the door noiselessly. Then he said

His mysterious action Immediately
brought the click of typewriters and the
buzz of voices to a stop. From the tip
of his stub-toed shoes to the top of his
barnacled hat II could be seen that the
visitor was a son OF the sea, and the at
mosphere of the Nancy Lee radiated from
his storm-tossed clothes. 1t is small Won

craft and modified about him with Curl

Before a word could shatter the silence

his plug of rough-and-ready and opened
his chest with an air of triumph. There
was asp of amazement when its con-
tents came to view. Before the lubbers
could recover from their surprise the
sinewy seaman passed out an emphatic
wink as a preface of the news to come.
FURS FROM LANDS AFFAIR.
In the chest was a cargo of furs, which
would thrill the heart of the most fas-
tidious feminine. There were pelts of the
silver fox, lynx. seal, sable. leopard skins
and parts of the hides of many beasts
which haunt the treacherous forests OF
far off lands. And they were all trans
formed in dainty manner for adornment
of miladys neck. There were muffs and
collars, stoles and even hats. which
would have attained pre-eminence in ar

PLANNING SEWER SYSTEM
Surveys Bureau Making Drafts fol
Ashdale Street Extension in
Oak Lane

The Bureau of Surveys is at work on
plans for additional sewer facilities for
that part of Oak Lane which comes
within the Philadelphia County line.
Residents of that section have been pro-
testing against the present inadequate
system, but Chief Webster. of the Bureau
of Surveys. has not had sufficient funds
to provide the additional sewers de-
manded.
1t is estimated that the cost of COM
plete 10-inch sewer pipe system in the
section would cost 100000 The plans
now drafted propose the extension of the
Ashdale street 1O-inch sewer to olney.
House sewage in Oak Lane will be car
ried to a pumping station to be erected
at 69th avenue and Old York road, and
from there will be directed through a $500
foot pressure main in Haines street and
Ogontz avenue TO the main sewer al
Chelten and Ogontz avenues.
The estimated cost OF the changes now
proposed is s71,5OO for the piping and
s1s,5OO for the construction OF the pump
ing station.

LAND OFFICE" BUSINESS.
1t was the chance of lifetime to land
a real bargain, and there was digging
in wallets and pockets and quick
touches by those around. Some of the
older employees got on the phone and told
wiley at home about the big cinch in
furs. They were told not to dare come
home without something nice. They
were overwhelmed with instructions as
to what to pick
In about three shakes of a lambs
tai'' the entire stock was disposed Of,
and the stubby finger of the man of the
| sea had great difficulty in handling the
| yellow backed notes. He took aboard a
| financial cargo close on to $500. but there
| was nothing in his demeanor to show
that he was in the least elated about it.
AS the seaman stuffed his harvest In
| a shaggy canvas bag with stolid coun-
| tenance those who were chuckling over
| the opportunity felt somewhat guilty at
having taken advantage of the gullible
stranger in an unknown land.
The boss of the office arrived just as
| Neptune was shuffling out. He dropped
| suggestion that it might be wise to
detain accidentally the seaman while a
| couple of the boys took some of the
| furs to very nearby store for valua-
| ton.

| So two of the most athletic employees

too much for it,
The news was flashed to the office by
phone, and in a moment the seafaring
| man was surrounded by the enemy. He
dug out the bag and forked out all the
| cash, with a sigh.
Then he pulled up his anchor and wig
wagged for an elevator. The very wise
buyers looked crestfallen.

pulled off in one other place." said the
boss, land that's in the Detective Bu-
| reau."
So, beware. milady. of the seaman just
ashore and his smuggled furs. There's
