Everett Pupils Join in
Mad : c,ambIe as First
School Bank is Opened

Four boys and four girls from the
seventh and eighth grades OF the
Everett school became bankers for
their schoolmates. Tuesday morn
Ing. They are members of the pu-
pills committee chosen to test the
plan Of school savings In Detroit.
According to Walter @. Toepel.
cashier of the Peninsular State
bank. who is in charge of the work,
about rs youngsters crowded about
the tables in the hall OF the school
to register a. depositors. About e25
was taken In. deposits ranging from
fve cents to 81.
'Ths number of youngsters who
wanted to start savings was 90
great" said Mr.. Toepel. that we
found It necessary to form them In
line. This line extended out in the
street. There was confusion. be-
cause Of the eagerness of the chill
dren to get their names down in the
books"
Mr.. Toepel and John Langdon,
formerly In charge OF the transit de-
partment OF the Peninsular State
bank. instructed the children's com.
mittee how to make out the regis
tration cards and open the ledger
accounts.
"It Is only a question OF time,
said Mr.. Toepel. before the system
will have to be extended to cover
oil our public rchools. The plan
has already proved 50 popular In the
Everett school that there can be nc
douht OF its auccesa."

SUIT HANGS
ON MUSICAL
TESTIMONY
Sol0ist Who Hummed
"After the Bali Is
Important Witness

Oscar II. Smiths ear for music is
the chief defense Of the d. U. r. in
the $4,000 damage suit brought
against the company by Julia FL
wart. The case Is being heard In
circuit court, before Judge Stevens.
Miss Elwart was q member OF an
automobile party which was scat
tered over the road at Harper-ave.
and Hastings-st.. on the evening OF
Oct. z, 1913, when the motor car
was struck by a Fourteenth line
street car. She remained uncon-
scious for three days as the result
of injuries sustained In the accident,
she states.
The entire case hinges on the
question of whether the motorman
changed his bell before the car in
his charge struck the automobile.
Miss Elwart and her witnesses In
sist that no warning was given.
Tuesday morning, the ID. u. r.
placed Smith on the witness stand.
He is a soloist and a member Of the
Musicians club of Detroit. These
facts were introduced in the case to
support the contention that the wit
ness might be expected to have an
auditory nerve sensitive to har.
monious sounds.
And how did the musical ear fig-
ure In the case? Liks this:
II had been at the club" testified
Smith, "and was going home rather
late on the Fourteenth car. When
7 got on the car was humming to
myself the strain of After the Ball.
As I started to hum. the bell began
TO ring, and do you know, that
motorman kept perfect time with
his bell as / hummed? I said to my
self then and there, That man
should be a musician, not q motor
man.
81 was still humming and the
street car bell was still keeping
time with me when heard the
crash as the car struck the auto"
The case vent to the jury, Tues
day afternoon.

The River On A Rampage.

The Potomac river was at flood tide
last Thursday as result OF the heavy
rain the previous day. No especial DAM
age was done in this locality. as our little
city on ttle cliff is far above the reach OF
the waters. A few skiffs were carried off
and Samuel Penuell's garden at the bridge
house was drowned out. On the Mary
land side the family of lock-tender Wilbur
Hebb was driven from their home by the
waters. which invaded the cellar and made
a mill-race of their front yard, besides
destroying the garden. Mr.. Hebb moved
all his furniture from the first floor on
Thursday, as the water was creeping
dangerously close TO the front door, but
he moved back the next day. The river
got over the canal banks and stopped
navigation for couple OF days. II was
feared that much damage would be done
to the canal, but the rise stopped just in
time and there was not much harm done.
The water was higher last Thursday than
il has been for a number of years.
