A Philadelphia Chronicle

PHILADELPHIA, the city which
l. every New Yorker smiles about I'M
til he has seen it, is the subject Of Rob
ert Shackleton's third book on great
American towns, his previous volumes
having been devoted to New York and
Boston. 1t is written with q fine regard
for the readers curiosity about human
things, a good sense Of balance and q
clear and dignifed yet live style. OF
course, there is a great deal Of history
to it, but Philadelphia lives, it is well
known, on history and scrapple. The
author has the knack of linking deftly
the past and the present. When he tells
you of the origin Of the "Wistar parties"

music lovers, of Lubbock and many
from nearby towns, last Friday ev-

crowd which would have come, could
not have been seated.
When the singer announced to the
audience his intentions Of singing al

guish the difference in tone, many no
doubt were inclined to be skeptical.
but were shown time after time when
the singer paused, that there appear

pieces, he announced that he would
have the lights off during the next
selection. because many no doubt
thought they could distinguish the
difference between the two The
lights were off only a few seconds,
and all were looking toward the Edi-

voice WAS.

There is nothing definite to be re-

is going to be some paving in Lub-

This viii be one of the greatest
strides toward city building that the
people of this community have Made
in a good long while, and is the, only
successful solution to the street
troubles that We are having at this
time. We do not believe that our
streets can be fixed, only temporar-
lily until this is done and with a city
of the Importance Of Lubbock we
cannot afford to put this matter off
longer.
IL is our understanding that the
matter will likely be handled coop

abutted by the paving, the city com
mission and the county, though the
exact proportions have not been
made known.

pecially the September drive on the
Argonne front, also the battles of St

back many souvenirs Of that country,
several that he had taken from some
Of his German victims also.

Department Of Lubbock, are very
enthusiastic and appreciative Of the
contributions which they have receiy-
ed from the different parties to
whom their petition for subscription
to defray many Of the expenses
which they are called upon regularly
to expend was presented Not only
should the citizens Of our town be
proud Of the work that these men DO
toward saving Of fire loss, but they
should be ready at all times to show
their appreciation by helping in ways
which are contributory to their sue
cess. Probably too riany Of US think
that the city pays their expenses. or
that through some channel other than
a contribution. voluntarily by us, is
provided for Now, next month these
men who are our own volunteer fire
men, will want to send delegates to
the Volunteer Firemen's Convention,
which will be held at Cuero and sure
ly il is but just and right that we the
people who are dependent upon these
men for the safety Of our homes. and
business. should contribute toward
paying the expenses Of the men who
will be selected to attend from here.
Most Of the men who are in business
have been given an opportunity to
subscribe to this fund. and have re-
sponded even more literally than the
men expected Of individuals, and they
appreciate this.
