CHESTNUT HILL AND
FRANKFORT GET 'JITS'
Plans Being Completed for New
Routes - Electrical Dealers
Threaten Suit.

Direct jitney lines to Chestnut Hill and
Frnnkford will be established by the Auto
Service Association within few days.
Tho terminus for the new routes will be
Broad street and Erie avenue, and the
cars will be put on regular running sched-
ules, leaving the stations every few min
utes. This new move by the jitneymen
means that the railroads will now feel
the keen competition offered by the jlt-
neys.
The fare to Chestnut Hill will be 30
cents, while the fare over the other
route to Frankford avenue and Orthodox
street, Frankfort will be % cents. Five
cents will be charged to Diamond street;
10 cents to Erie avenue: Is cents to
Wayne Junction; 20 cents to Greene and
Chew streets; % cents to Pelham street
and 30 cents to Chestnut Hill.
The Auto Service Association Is pre-
pairing for the six-for-a-quarter strip
tickets which they plan to issue soon.
The Philadelphia Jitney Association will
consider the advisability of adopting the
tickets at a meeting on Thursday. but
1t is not probable that 1t will do so.
Blue pennants have been placed on the
majority OF the Auto Service cars, and
by the time the tickets are issued 1t is
hoped that every car owned by a MEM
ber of this organization will have one
on It.
The Philadelphia Jltney Association will
be sued for $500 worth of electrical signs
within a short time, according to Wright
& Wright, electrical dealers, of 22l5
North Broad street. Walter Wright, a
member OF the firm, says the association
ordered 800 of the signs and so far has
failed to pay for more than 20 of them.
The Others are lying at the headquarters
of the association, Broad and Diamond
streets. and many of them are said to
have been rendered useless.
"We'll start suit If we think we can
get anything" said Mr.. Wright. but we
want to be sure before we start any
thing. We understand the association
isn't going to last long"
The signs carried metal slips showing
mated for use at night.

That evening they attended the opera.
Tarzan's mind was still occupied by his
gloomy thoughts. He paid little or no
attention to what was transpiring upon
the stage. Instead, he saw only the love-
ly vision of a beautiful American girl,
and heard naught but a sad, sweet voice
acknowledging that his love was re-
turned. And she was to marry anotherl
He shook himself to be rid of his un-
welcome thoughts, and at the same in
stant he felt eyes upon him. With the
instinct that was his by virtue OF train

SO he went up instead of down.
Tho top of the pole was opposite the
roof of the building, so it was but the
work of an instant for the muscles that
had for years sent him hurtllng through
the treetops of his primeval forest to
carry him across the little space between
the pole and the roof. From one build
ing he went to another, and so on, with
much climbing, until at cross street he
discovered another pole, down which he
ran to the ground.
For a square or two he ran swiftly;
then he turned into little all-nlght cafe
and in the lavatory removed the evidences
of his over-roof promenade from hands
and clothes. When he emerged a few
moments later it was to saunter slowly
on toward his apartments.
Not far from them he came to we'll

to cross. AS he stood directly beneath
