COMMUNITY MARKET 8
AT NARBERTH THRTvE
Even Women From philadelphia
Visit Main Line Town for
Fresh Vegetables

Any observant person making trip to
Narberth on a Saturday morning will learn
a thing or two from the small market con-
Quoted near the station by the woman's
Community Club.
He will learn that the small war gardens
have been success; that Narberth tomatoes
are not common tomatoes; that corn IL .
beautiful thing to contemplate. and that
cucumbers, beans, carrots and beets are never
commonplace when they reach such a degrees
of soundness and handsomeness.
The market, which opened Saturday Z
week ago. is showing every symptom of sue
cess, and the organizers have decided TO
carry it on through September.
Only Surplus Sold
A point worth nothing is that the produces
put on the Narberth market is only the sur
plus produce from the little gardens. f
Often the contributions are no larger than
half dozen ears of corn a small box OF
tomatoes; only what the owners cannot them
selves use. These vegetables are sold at city
prices and the money goes back to the donor.

Golfers of the Community Club for war con-
tributions: or. in cases where the produce 10

Naturally, since the number of contribu-
tors to this market is not large-about fifteen
in all-the proceeds are not large compara-
lively speaking
Fifteen Dollars in Week
The first week about SIS was cleared last
Saturday about S25. But that money Is free
ana clear-money saved from the waste
since the fresh vegetables would certainly
not last
Customers are turning up even from the
city. Women carry filled baskets trium-
phantly back into town, saying the vegetables
bought in Narberth much fresher than
those bought at the city markets. If the
stock were larger there would be fear OF
lack of customers.

Miss Scherer is a graduate of Pennsylvania
State College. She is draughtsman by in
tention and design but her colleagues have
the war to thank for their novel positions
They were students at the Philadelphia
School of Design, promising eXponents of
commercial art when the came along
They heard then, that there was great
need for women draughtsmen both in civil
and governmental positions. So great was
the need, in fact, said Miss Pyle. that a six
weeks course in draughtng was opened at
the aircraft factory on Broad street Only ten
girls took the course, however
I'D like to be a regular engineer" said
Miss Scherer. There's reason why a
woman shouldn't. OF course. to superintend
the laying of tracks and surveying require

any reason why woman, if she likes the

Captain William S. Williams Is Commended
for Bravery

Additional instances of individual acts of

diers who are in the thick of the fighting
around the Vesle River. IN France. are r"-
ported today in dispatches from Raymond G.
Carroll special correspondent of the Public
Ledger.
One Phiadephian, Captain William s.
Williams, has been commended for bravery in
leading his company across the river in the
face of heavy gas attack. Dashing across
the swift-running river. many of the gas
masks were made useless by contact with
the water.
Instead of retreating as gas shells burst
all about the advancing Americans, Captain
Williams pressed his men forward, and sent
to the rear for new supply of masks.
Captain Williams is n native of Philadel-
phia, a graduate of Girard College. He was
an instructor there, with the title of prefect,
when the United States entered the war.
He was then first lieutenant of infantry
and was summoned to the officers training
camp at Fort Niagara.

ssTTNHE Rats The destroying Rats !" cried
i the Steeple Pigeons, huttering madly
around the room.
Peggy stood horror-stricken. She'd always
had creepy feeling when she saw Mouse
or Rat and these Rats were worse than
anything she had ever imagined She didn't
know what to do There was place to
run to, and she couldn't fly like the Pigeons.
The Rats looked around the room curious.
ly, licking their chops they gazed greedily
at the Pigeons. Then their eyes travelled
downward and rested upon Peggy. They
opened their mouths in a snarling grin.
Here's a new kind of a Bird - remarked
the foremost Rat.
Looks as though it would be mighty good
to eat" squealed the second Rat.
IT'S mine! l saw it first !" claimed the
first Rat.
Wen divide it up" decided the third
Rat.
With that the three Rats darted forward
in their sneaky, crawly way. Peggy jumped
back and as she did Billy Belgium lcaped
in fr'nt of her. He brandished a long, thin
file which some workmen had left on the
floor Of the oteeple room.
