British Cotton Trade Dull.

Unemployment in the British cotton
trade is on the increase. The state OF
trade is such that it is practically I'M
possible to find customers for all the
goods which the Lancashire mills could
produce. There is no immediate pos
sibility of improvement. and manufac-
turers report that the outlook for the
future of the trade is decidedly black.
At the present time many thousands
Of operatives are out of employment.

cope with intruders in the defense oil

when several of these disappeared
the athletic young Grover girls de-
cided to watch, and were rewarded
by the arrival of two men with axes
to cut down more trees. Waiting
until one of. the men had climbed a
tree, Marie covered the other man
with rifle and commanded him tc
halt. He promptly obeyed, and
handing the gun to her sister, Irene.
Marie walked over to the man and
pummeled him with her fists until
he pleaded with her to let him go,
and hustled from the premises. The
gun was then brought to bear on the
other fellow up the tree, who was
commanded to get down and the
same form of punishment was ad-
ministered to him by the energetic
Marie, while her sister threatened tC

An Auto Romance.

Miss Mary Torbert and Rufus D.
Bunting decided to get married and
motored to Elkton for the ceremony
Accompanying them was Miss Tor
betrt's niece, Miss Bennnm. and
Everett Chase, of Carney's Point, a
friend of the bridegroom.
On the trip in the automobile, the
prospective bride and bridegroom
were on the front seat, the latter
driving the car, and the two young
attendants were on the rear. The
sight Of the lovers in front of them
had probably its effect, anyway
when Bunting and Miss Torbert
drove up to the M. E. parsonage, in
Elkton, her niece sweetly told her
that she and Chase would also be
married.

east of town on Friday morning,

Chester county papers report that
in view of the possibility of Pennsyl-
vania becoming bone dry there are
several hotel keepers in the country
districts of Chester county who will
not ask for renewal of their IL
censes this year. The cost of attor-
ney fees. coupled with the expense
of taking out the license, as we'll as
the scarcity of wet goods" makes
the men who conduct the small
places feel that the risk is not worth
the cost. and sevesal places which
have for years enjoyed a license will
likely close their doors.

TOME SCHOOL HAS NEW DIREC.
TOR.
DIR. Murray p. Brush To Head The
Institution-Succeeds DIR. Thos. =
Baker.

AT a meeting Friday of the Board
of Trustees of the Tome Institute,
held in the offices of the Baltimore
Trust Company, DR.. Murray p.
Brush, of Johns Hopkins University,
was elected director of Tome, at Port
Deposit, Md, to succeed DR.. Thomas
S. Baker, who recently resigned to
accept an important position in one
of the the big universities.
In an interview following his ap-
pointment, DR.. Brush said:
II expect to take charge when ar
rangements can be made with regard
to my leaving Johns Hopkins. re-
linquish my position at the univer-
sity with great regret. l have been
there as student and instructor for
rs years and have had only the most
pleasant associations.
81 feel that there is wonderful
opportunity at Tome. The school
has the equipment and endowment
that most institutions have to beg
for. The situation on the Susque-
hanna within easy reach Of Balti-
more, Philadelphia, Washington and
New York, cannot be equaled in con-
venience or beauty by any school in
the country.
Forty or fifty years ago the col
leges were the center of liberalized
education; today they have very gen.
orally taken up the special problems
Of training men for their vocations
in later life. 1t has become the
province of the secondary school to
supply the fundamental general
training so necessary for this early
specialization. No school is better
fitted than Tome to provide such
training, with it's splendid plant and
faculty of trained and thoughtful
teachers"
DR.. Brush was born in GAINESVILLE.
Ohio, April IT, 1872. He received
his bachelor of arts degree at Prince
ton in 1894 and his doctor of philo
sophy degree at Hopkins in 1898
He studied in France for one year
Later he married Miss Charlotte
Kinney, of Rome, N. Y. In 1898 he
became instructor in French at the
Ohio State University, and in 1899
came to the Hopkins as an associate
professor in French and later be-
came professor of that language at
the university. At present he is
dean of the institution. He is a
trustee of the Peabody Institute and
a manager of the Baltimore FEEDER
ated Charities and member of a
number of societies and clubs. In
1917 DR.. Brush was elected presi-
dent of the Roland Park Country
School.
