Especial to The Reformer.)


A young man claiming his name as
Roy G. Morash and that he was a
lieutenant in the English army, was
taken in charge by the police, as he
was suspected of trying to obtain mon
ey under false pretenses. It is thought
that Morash has worked in other
places in New Hampshire.
1t appears that Morash arrived IN

Gated somce people who had reIativs

that on this occasion he learned IN
conversation with Myron Wood. who
works N local drug store, that his

called up her son at the drug store who
had given Morash the information and
the game was scented and Officer Gil
DO took Morash to the police station.
Mrs. Wood did not want to appear
against Morash and he was allowed to

1t was learned that after Morash
left he went to West Swauzev bv au-

sixteen non-rigid dirigible balloons
ordered two months ago, said that the
dirgible program now was assured Of
completion much sooner than had been
expected. The airship left Chicago at
midnight Monday night and arrived
without accident Wednesday afternoon
at Akron, O. The contract called for
delivery within four months, but the
builders viii turn the first ship over
for active duty in coast patrol work
within ninety days OF the date Of the
contract, and thereafter one or more
will be delivered every week.
The trip from Chicago to Akron,
more than 400 miles. was made under
direction of the builders, the GOODYEAR
Rubber company, and did not consti-
tute an official test, but navy officials
are confident that a valuable type
similar to the "blimp' of the British
navy has been produced. They expect
the airship to make the required forty
miles an hour during her official trial
trip within the next ten days
The ship was designed by Naval
Constructor J. G. Hunsaker of the bu-

the test is regarded as having proved
that the weight problem has been

The electric sweet car service or AM
sterdam is municipality owned and man
aged. Its annual receipts are nearly
$4,000, 900, with a profit of about 10 per
cent. No deficit has ever occurred un-
der the city management. The lines OF
cars are numbered from / to 10. and
have a total of forty miles of track.
The cars bear their respective numbers
and signs to show the starting and
terminal points and important inter-
mediate places.
When the routes are known, however,
the lines are always referred to by
their numbers. The trolley support is
formed of two arms, about two feet
apart from the base UP to near the top,
where the space widens to about four
feet, the width OF the horizontal rod
which touches and travels along the
overhead WIRE Thus there is never
the trouble of delay caused by the troll

Between the arms of the trolley sup
port hangs the number OF each line, In
