Wars Effect on Trolley Service.

The New York City newspapers. these

onIy on the suhways, but on the surface
trolley lines Strangely, the service on
the elevated lincs seems 70 escape con

Recently. especial complaint has been
directed against the surface trolley ser
vice. especially IN respect Of refusals to
stop. either to let OIL OF take on pas
sengers. and general inefbclcncN OF many
of the conductors and motoEmen. Here
We have an evidence Of how the war y

havoc with private business enterprise m

The demands Of tho war have taken
from all lines of service the best and most

came to filling their places, employers
were not onlv confronted with limited

announcement is made that the Federal
,,overument has started the project Of

One result of this important improve

development of various tracts Of vacant
land along the shores Of the Schuylkiil,
and their utilization as sites for important
manufacturing plants Thus, the material
interests of Philadelphia will bc considcra-
ably enhanced,
Here is q suggestion for tho people oi
Wilmington. Our Christiana river Is very
similar to the Schuylkill river. While
Philadelphia is located directly on the
Delaware. il is divided 10y the Schuylkili'
and tho latter stream connects with the
Delaware. Thus, the Improvement ot The
Schuylklll will bring commerce that comes
by the Delaware river right into the centre
of the city.
The Christiana also connects with the
Delaware river, and brings commerce
from that important highway oi nav'sa-
fion 10 our wharvcs. But that commerce

HOLD LIBERTY BONDS.

To successfully finance the war 1t is
necessary that the owners Of Liberty
Bonds hold their bonds, il possible
Where for any good reason 1t is necessary
for them to turn their bonds into cash
they should seek the advice OF their
bankers.
Liberty Loan Bonds are desirable
investments and crafty individuals are
using various means to secure them from
owners not familiar with stock values and
like matters One method is TO offer To
exchange for Liberty Bonds stock or
bonds Of doubtful organizations repre-
sented as returning much higher IN
come than the bonds
There are various other methods used
and likely to be used, some of the gold
brick variety and others less crude and
probably within the limits of the law.
All offers for Liberty Bonds, except for
money and at the market value, should
be sorutinized carefully. The bonds are
tho safest of Investments, and have
non,axnble and other valuable features.

have moss upon my tongue, the
gripes disturb my ample waist,
my mouth is full Of dark green
taste don't suppose | manned a
foe by hating half the night or SO;
| dom suppose Teuton knew that
/. | was hating, long hours through.
/. And so ! realize today that all my
! hate was thrown away; alas, TO

KRAMER CONQUERs SPENCER IN MATCH
Veteran Cycle Champion Scores Close Victory in
 Five Mile Contest.

Frank Kramer showed his old time speed and won the five mile paced race from Arthur Spencer at the Vel odrome in Newark yesterday after noon. When it looked as if Spencer had the race 'in'' Kramer came through with a great burst of speed and upset the Canadians calculations.
 A lap and a half from home Spen- Ger jumped around Kramer and took the lead. Going down the backstretch of the last lap Kramer put everything on and in the last turn circled Spen- cer. By the time the homestretch was reached Kramer was inches in the lead and adding to this advantage in the sprint down the stretch won by length. Spencer took the place of Goullet, who is in the aviation ser vice of the navy and was quarantined at Boston.
 Bob Spears took the three mile open by circling the field on the last lap and beating Ali Brenda, Reggie Me Namara, Frank Corry, Willie Hanley and Francisco Verri. who finished that way. Spears also won the one mile handicap, in which he beat out Ray Eaton, Willie Coburn and Al Crbes.
 In the semi-finals of the world s championship cycling Derby Kramer, Spears and Brenda qualified for the finals, which will be decided next Sunday
