ROXBOROUGHITES AND

Citizens and Traction Company Vie
With Each Other in Literary
Prowess

Some time ago a long-suffering victim Of
the Ridge avenue trolley car line sent II
protest in verse to meeting Of the Twenty
first Ward Board of Trade held for the pur-
pose of hearing the complaints Of the RoX-
boroughites on the poor service. The pOem
signed &C NJ. F." told how the day was
lost and how they ARE all held UP along
the Ridge because there is no car" The
noem closed in this way:
when Roxboroughites kneel down at night
They pray, Remove the bar
Between us and good service, Lord
That we may get car"
Now that summer weather Is here and
the stylsh-skirted suburbanites Of the gen.
tie sex can improve their bodily health by
tramping up and dowN the hills to and
from the train stations at Manayunk and
WissahiclSon, the trolley road has got even
by publishing in its little pamphlet, Troll
ley Tips:
'The devil sends the wicked wind
To raise the skirts knee high;
But heav'n Is just
And sends the dust
To close the bad mans eye"

an Easter gift in 1915. In a few weeks II

when the green stalk bore three birds that
opened that summer on July
The next summer, when the green stalk
appeared above the ground, each member
or the family watched anxiously for the
buds Sure eCenough. they came, three in
number. Then with increased interest the
buds were watched. and on July the beau

PROTESTANTS TO HAVE
fine DEACONESS HOME
Maryland Annual Conference Will
Train Women For Church Work.

The Maryland Annual Conference
OF the Methodist Protestant Church,
| through the members of its deacon
| esses board, has purchased several
! handsome buildings on North Charles
street. Baltimore, to be used as a
deaconess home The buildings,
which are located on the east side OF
the street between Twenty-fifth and
Twenty sixth streets, are to be fitted
up in modern style for the training of
women in the deaconesS work of the
church.
For several years the denomina-
ton has felt the need of this type of
religious workers, many of the larg-
est congregations having made spe-
cial appeals for consecrated young
women to work in their midst, and
at the last three annual conferences
the matter has been brought up, and
the members of the deaconesses
board have been instructed to make a
suitable selection and then to pur-
chase the building. Already three
young women of the denomination
have expressed desire to enter that
department of service in the church,
and several more are expected to en-
ter in the near future.
The rooms in the home will be fur
nished by the various churches in the
city, and the rooms named after the
churches donating its furnishings.
The home will contain parlors, hall,
diningroom, kitchen and bedrooms.
AS soon as the arrangement can be
completed a training school will be
established in the home, and with the
action of the board, backed by the
entire church denomination, it is ex-
pected that the deaconess work,
which has heretofore Jagged. will go
forward by leaps and bounds.
Members of the board who ara
pushing the work are: Rev. DR.. F. Il.
Tagg, president; Rev. J. Franklin
Bryan, secretary; Rev. A. S. Beane,
Rev. J. w. Kirk, and Rev. George
w. Haddaway, clergymen; A. J. VIII
liar, H. K. Muller, A. w. Totten, j.
H. Roberts and E. ]. Paige, laymen.
The women members are: Mrs. Al
ice E. Shockley, Mrs. w. c. Shriver,
Mrs. T. w. Donoho, Mrs. Fred Dono-
ho and Mrs. E. B. Fenby.

Even the many admirers OF
Douglas Fairbanks who are familiar
with his daredevil stunts, will gasp
at his new thrillers disclosed in"Wild
and Woolly," his newest Aircraft pic
ture, at the Grand Opera House to-
morrow Saturday matinee and
night. Leaping from a porch OF a
house on to moving train that is
averaging forty miles an hour is but
one of the many thrills performed by
the athletic star in his latest film.
Another startling scene is presented
in a fight on horseback in which
Douglas proves the victor. This is
undoubtedly one of the most remark
able bits of its kind ever staged, and
shows the daring actor ieaping from
one salloping pony to struggle with
the rider of another horse going at
break-neck specially.

Our Part

France gaily bleeds upon her torn
frontiers and counts her waning
wealth of men and gold with still I'M
quailing heart.
Belgium, a shambles and a house
of shame, superbly keeps the faith
with exiled flag and king beneath the
banners of conqueror.
Bewildered Russia, cropping, man
united surf, plays perilously with
sudden rights as children with toy
they do not understand, who, in the
search for revelation, break the
works beyond repair.
The path of austria has taken an
Italian life in toll for every foot of
progress made, and after two years
spent upon the stubborn heights, the
farthest sentry on the last outpostlng
peak is not night removed from his
own boundaries.
Rumania struck one blow and then
became a German camp, looted
realm; and Servian Peter leads his
homeless waits on alien soil.
Britain in vain hurls her full
strength into the West, recruits I'M
ceasing levies for the slaughter-heap.
Her constant transports ply the seven
Seas. Pathan, Egyptian, Anzak
promptly answer each fresh call, ANA
the astounding Prussian, with never
an invading foot upon the Father
land, calmly eats their steel, presents
unbroken fronts, maintains his hole
from Antwerp to the Dardanelles, and
insolently challenges the world from
pole to pole to pool its might and
come in arms against him;
The end of this grim war is not in
sight. Whoever thinks the Allied
cause is won has read his facts amiss.
We have our part to playa sad
and heavy dauntless part.
We cannot, dare not, fail our
pledges.
Should Europe yield, as Europe
may, before we can assert our siren
9Th. America alone must meet the
Central Powers, free then to devote
their undivided fleets and armies &c
our desolation.

Notice To Water
Consumers

In view of the expressed opposition
of an influential number OF its pa
irons, whose convenience this Com
pany is DESTROYS of meeting, the Dor
chester Water Company, at recent
meeting. decided to withdraw for the
present the rule making the owners
of property responsible for water
supplied to their respective proper
ties for the use of their tenants, al
though such a rule is generally in
force throughout the State, whether
| the water works are controlled by
the municipalities or by private cor
! porations.
But the Company has determined
| to enforce, impartially and strictly,
the following rule:
| "Au water rents shall be payable
| to the Secretary of the Water Com
pany, or other person authorized by
Water Committee, at his Office, quar-
! terly, in advance, namely: January
| 1st, April 1st, July LIST and October
LIST. All bills not paid within thirty
DAYS after presentation the water
may be turned off without notice"
The above has always been a rule
of the Company, since its foundation
D.
payment in advance has never been
! strictly enforced. This rule, COM
mencing from the first day of Octob-
er, 1917, will be strictly and impair
TALLY enforced, against the rich and
| the poor, the landlord and the ten
ant, without fayoritism or discrim1-
nation
1t is imperative that the Company
should receive prompt payment OF its
rents, under the present abnormal
conditions, and all users of water are
requested by the management to CO.
operate with them in the enforce
ment of the above rule, which is in
tended for the benefit of the public
as well as for the welfare of the Com
pany.
For the convenience OF the public,
the Company has opened an Office at
122 High street, where competent
clerk will be constantly in charge
during business hours to deliver bills
and to collect rents.
