GETTING into q serape.

Rabbits, men. golf and Scotland
conspired to produce the expression OF
"getting into a scrape." In that part
of Great Britain the game was first
PLAYED. The rabbits were plentiful
then as now. they had habit OF
making little hollows In which to rest.
Whenever ball stopped In one OF
these scraped-out spots. the player
had. real problem to solve. Finally
the protests became so numerous that
the golfing societies amended the
rules and permitted the players to
take certain privileges after getting
into a scrape." From that time, with
the difficulty decreased, the game
fiourished.

Random Remarks

The latest proposed legislation fC
the financial relief of discharged so
diers, sailors, marines and nurses, is i
bill introduced in Congress providin
that nobody who served more than tw
months shall receive less than S240 il
addition to all pay heretofore received
| Those who were under fire of battle ar
to receive 800 additional. Those VIII
served two months or less are no
eligible to the increase, nor are clerk
who receive more than $50 a month
pay in the service to come under thu
provisions of the bill. The secretary
OF the treasury is authorized to issue
$4,000, 0OO,0 900 worth of four per cent
bonds to meet this emergency and
persons entitled to the increased pay
may take bonds if they so desire.
Hardly a session of court is held that
something does not transpire to show
that justices of the peace send to the
court cases that should never be taken
there and in many instances the sug.
gestion that justices of the peace
should be made to take civil service
examination is verified. One of the
most ridiculous affairs that ever hap.
pened in the court was that on Thurs
day when two little colored boys were
called to answer a charge of assault
and battery. One of the boys was six
years old but he did not look, in size
or otherwise, more than three years of
age. He had signed a waiver of in
dlctment, at least he had made mark
which was witnessed by county detec-
tive Parker. Just think of it "a
who could not write, who
beyond doubt did not know the
meaning of being in court, was allowed |
to practically sign waiver of indict-
Inent. The other boy, about eight |
years OF age, could write his name, but
It is safe to say he did not know, any
more than his younger brother did the
meaning of waiver of Indictment.
so they were put before the court and

Kelsey heard the testimony he prompt

detective to get waivers and bringing

tutor has had chance to ascertain the
acts is all wrong. But the worst part
IL the case referred to is that the ms
ice OF the peace should have ever
noticed the complaint and allowed it
o take up the attention of the court
t was simply ridiculous and the
county auditor would be perfectly justi-
led in Withholding costs for such
Ictions.
Another case that was before the
'ourt was waiver where a man was
'harged with larceny of magnetic

After playing two innings of bum

base running, did the trick.
Cook was very effective in the pitch

lent support behind the bat.
Greenwald made beautiful catch Of

A pageant, depicting Pemberton's
work in the war, was one of the features
of the day. 1t was composed by Mrs.
Elizabeth Hanley and directed by
Mrs. May P. Harris, both connected
with the War Camp Community Ser
vice.
The scheme of the pageant was as
follows:
Pemberton with her attendants
comes to preside over the Memorial
Tablet which is to be unveiled. To
her came the Goddess of Liberty with
her need of praise for Pemberton's
sons, and expressing her desire to call
the nations OF the world who would
also come to pay their tribute and
homage to the brave Of Pemberton.
First she calls to France and Belgium
and the representatives of the British
Empire, and they come from right and
left with floral tribute to lay at the
foot of the shaft of stone.
Liberty then calls in turn TO the ma
tons of the North-Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, Armenia, Servia, Poland,
Russia.
The nations of the South-Italy,
Spain, Rumania, Montenegro, Greece.
The nations of the East-China, ia
pan, Egypt, Persia.
And the nations of the West
America. Panama, Cuba, Brazil, Ar
genrine.
Each nation in turn makes her gift
in honor of the Pemberton boys.
Pemberton acknowledges the gifts of
the Nations and calls upon her own
children to build floral Service Star
as symbol of her own recognition of
her sons.
As Pemberton reads from a golden |
scroll the name of each man one
flower is placed in the star Of green at
the side of the memorial tablet
At $50 the program of events took
place on a field near the North Penn

ing with an exciting game of base ball |
between Pemberton and New Egypt.
The visiting club won; score l too.
AT $50 fine supper was served to
the. service men and number of
guests, totaling $50.
Next came a community sing under
the leadership of Charles A. Lundell,
of the War Camp Community Ser
vice, following which there was con-
cert by the s0th Infantry Band of
Camp Dix. This band also discoursed |
music during the afternoon.
The evening was devoted to dancing |
on a platform that had been erected |
for the occasion and lighted electrically |
