What Happened at the Stockbr'dSc
 Home.

Home.
 Mrs. Stockbridgc herself met us at the door. in appearance and manner quite transformed from the stiff, sulky woman I had first met, and with no Etrace whatever of the maddened Ecreature who had shrieied at me from the side of the road few weeks be- fore. Evidently. as Bess Dean had |predicted, she was "on her best be- havior." and it was q cordial, smiling welcome which she extended to us as we came up the steps,
 My dear"-her husband spoke the Ewords with the deferential intonation he almost always uses toward her l"this is Lieutenant Graham You |ihave met Mrs Graham and Alice of |course."
 ''I am so glad you could come to us, Lieutenant Graham" his wife said brightly, shaking Dicl1y's outstretched hand with effusion. And now, Ken meth, if youll take Lieutenant Gra- ham up to your room, I'll bring the girls out to the sun parlor. We'll have tea there in 8 few moments. I know you must all be tired and thirsty"
 We're so tired. Milly," Alice Hol- combe spoke promptly, that l for one would like to go upstairs and get some of this dust off before tea I wondered if 1t were my fancy or did a flicker of alarm show in Milly |Stockbridge's eyes flor a moment? The next moment she had answered |calmly:
 Up to Something.''
 NO need to climb the stairs, Alice. Here's 8 lavatory and towels and a mirror right here, as you know" She 1threw open door from the hall. "Just freshen up all you wish while I see to the tea. Bring Mrs. Graham out when you're ready. Alice knows this house. she turned to me, "as if it were her own"
 She slipped away and Miss Hol- combe and I removed our hats and coats, not daring to speak until she was safely out of earshot. She's been up to something!" Miss Holcombe muttered in my ear when we felt that we were safe. "I'd give cookie to be upstairs this minute A but she has effectively put that out of our power without rudeness until after this cup of tea. She'll try to keep us down here as long as she can 8ti1l very near the dinner hour. You see, she happens to be one of those absolutely perfect housekeepers that nothing ever f1urries. All arrange ments for her dinner and reception are proceeding smoothly, her mother s cook always comes in to help her when she gives an affair. and she has ample time for mischief"
 What do you think she's done ?'' 8T asked.

Roman Auto Co. VIII
Move to New Home

About a month ago the Roman
Auto Company purchased a million
dollar piece of property at 227 ,229-
231-233 North Broad street, Phila-
delphia. This enormous property
which has a tremendous frontage on
Broad street, will be occupied on OF
about October as the future home
of the Roman Auto Company.
1t is the intention of the Roman
Auto Company in the future to build
on this site a ten-story fireproot
building, including an up-to-date
service station and a machine shop
thoroughly equipped.
The Roman Auto Company has
been selling used autos for the past
IA years and in recent years have
done much to elevate and put the
secondhand automobile on a much
higher plane.
Lewis Isenberg, Dave Isenberg and
Oscar Isenberg are the members of
the firm of the Roman Auto Com
pany, and each one is an expert in
his line.
The property purchased by the
Roman is located on Broad street,
between Race and Vine streets. and
extends through to Watt street.
The used autom obile is becoming
more popular every day, owing to
the fact that it can be purchased
at a great reduction from the origi-
nal cost, and in many instances gives
just as good service and satisfaction
as new car.

WAR ON RATS
IS RESUMED
Every Rodent in England De-
stroys SIS Worth of Prop
erty Each Year

London, Oct. 1.-The war on rats,
which was suspended while the
other war was in progress, is being
renewed by the Ministry of Agricul-
ture. which estimates that property
to the value of $250,000,0 900 is de-
stroyed in the United Kingdom every
year by rats.
The chief rat inspector of the
Board of Agriculture estimates that
each rat destroys property to the
value of about SIS every year, while
an official of the British Medical
Association lays the spread of many
deadly diseases. including trench
fever, to rats.
Already precautions have been
taken at the London docks which
will prevent rats from landing from
ships and which, if they do land,
speedily ends in their death.

GERMAN SEAMEN

Transferred to Land Because
of Virtually no Navy
Remaining

With the American Forces in Ger.
many, Oct. 1.-The old sharp dis.
tinction between the German nava
and German military forces is dis.
appearing. AS the navy has virtu.
ally no ships, the naval officers and
men are largely available for shore
duty.
According to information reaching
the American Army headquarters In
Coblenz, at the present time such
volunteer naval units as exist serve
practically as troops along the coast
and transfers of naval men to and
from the Reichswehr. or national
army, are frequent. This is made
easy by the fact that both the War
and Navy Departments are under
Defense Minister Noske.
BY a recent German naval order
a number of sea officers were trans
ferred to the coast guard at Will

tachment at Cuxhaven. On the
