Police Court Chronicle

And there's still another one who wants
TO cure the high cost of living.
This time it is William Queer. who the
police say is not unlike his name. will
liam has been keeping tabs on the sugges-
tions handed out by various persons to
fight the food game, and in his own lam
guaGe, they're all up tree"
Instead of skipping a meal or using the
city streets for farm land, Queer believes
in cutting out all the fancy stuff in the
selling and distributing of food. His plan
would throw thousands of statesmen, clerks
and chauffeurs out of work and put q large
crimp in the paper business.
william was so carried away with his
thought that he insisted on impressing it
upon dozens of householders in the neigh
borhood Of Richmond and Clearfeld streets
after getting them out of bed at an un-
earthly hour. His scheme briefly is to have
hundred persons in each neghborhood
hire an autotruck once a week and haul
the food for the community in one big
load
Unfortunately, Queer was in an uncertain
condition as he attempted to unfold his
suggestion, and in two or three cases he
was assisted TO the middle of the street
without waste of words.
Policeman Chick Hartley. who used To he
a baseball player, found William sitting in
the street and brought him to the Belgrade
and Clearfeld streets station so he wouldn't
catch cold.

If it were not for the mud on the Audubon

latter's house might still be in existence
The Haddon Heights mud is also slightly
responsible for tho catastrophe-and there

SHE'S NOW l01 YEARS OLD
Mrs Elizabeth Browne Calls Wilson
"Wonderful Man'-Doesn't Like
Women's Clothes of 1917

nurinG the spring of 1891, a devoted hus-
band brought his young wife from Pitts
hurEh to Philadelphia 50 she might die in
the city of her birth. Tomorrow the same
woman viii celebrate here l0lSt birthday
anniversary, She is Mrs. Elizabeth Browne,
Of 1915 North Twentieth street
While ou.a visit eighty years ago. Mrs
Browne became dangerously i'll and re-
Cuestn1 her husband to bring her to Phila-
dclphia. The trip was mace by stage. After
she reached this city she made rapid re-
cuycry.
Mrs. Browne was borr and lived many
years before railroad. telegraph and tole-
phone services were inaugurated. At that
time there were no skyscrapers and no
militant sufrlagists. Mrs Browne has pro-
nounced views on public questions in which
she takes great interest
In her opinion President Wilson is "A
wonderful man" and she indorses virtually
all his actions. Mrs Browne calls the
women's clothes OF 1917 "ahominabe, being
neither high enough at the top nor low
enough at the bottom
Although Mrs. Browne has been forced
to discontinue attending services at the
Zion Episcopal Church, her mind is keen
and her eyesight remains unimpaired
Physicians say she may have several more
birthday anniversaries,

to squeeze a little farther. 1t was tor
pedoed about one quarter mile from the
conilagration. 1t was suggested that some
one get off and phone the fire that they
wouldn't be there but this could not be
done as there were no houses near the point
of the stall-a-ton
Those who had gathered about the fire
to see the fireladdies in action heard bells
IN the distance. But they never got nearer.
The firetighters of Eiaddon Heights showed
that they meant well. They detached the
hose and carried it in snakelite fashion on
their shoulders for a quarter mile to the
scene. Tnen the hose was attached to a
iirepug. But the fire had kept burning
during the delays, when the firemen
reached the scorp there was nothing to put
out-hut the ashes.
