1.-The weakest church In community
union would dominate the organlza-
tlon," he explained, because a weak
church always has the most klckers
The weaker church is, the more kick
ers II can produce"
IAN lnterdenomlnational union would
be particularly dangerous at this time
because II would stir up the people Of
different communities and make them
more unsettled and neurotlc than they
are at present"
Bishop Quayle advocated just and
cordial relations and interdenomina-
tional courtesy between the churches.
The bishop said that some OF the non
supporting churches showed the best
spiritual life in the church and that
they did an immense amount OF good
in proportion TO their size.
"The church needs some sense

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Dec i2.-
What kind Of a malevolent linx is chas-
ing Lewis Snyder, proprietor of the pre-
revolutionary and only now existing
hotel at Colts Neckg Snyder. Who has
been famous IN New Jersey for his
appleiack for two generations, would
like to have definite information, be-
cause he thinks he has been having
more than his share OF mlsfortunes
lately.
Added to the fact that Mr.. Snyder
took in only Sii.ii IN the whole month
Of November, when he used 10 average
$500 a month In pre-pr0hibitlon times,
are these other worries, as he himself
catalogues them.
Mrs. Snyder was taken III and had to
undergo an operation. Some one stole
Mr.. Snyder's hound, a good hunting
dog. The dog was fastened with a
chain to a clothesllne and the thief cut
the wire. The same day the dog was
stolen Mr.. Snyder's automobile caught
fire In the garage and was badly dam
aged.
A dozen Of Mr.. Snyder's chickens
were killed by hen hawk. The hawk
visited the barnyard daily at certain
hour and the hotel proprietor lay In
wait for the marauder with a gun. lie
surprised the hawk and the bird flew
into Mr.. Snyders garage. With gun In
hand. he hustled into the garage, but
the hawk flew through pane Of glass
and Mr. Snyder was showered with
broken glass. The bird apparently was
not injured.
Mr.. Snyders cow broke out Of pas
ture and the owner wasted an entire
day recovering the fugitive.

has been received and as soon as the
bridge across the Brandywine at Mar
ket street is strengthened they will be
put into service on the Darby line.
"As these cars were bought during
the height Of the war. they cost about
twice as much as In normal times, the
contract price being $4,000 each but as
additional equipment was seriously
needed to carry the vastly increased
army OF workers 20 and from The muni-
ton and other war. industry plants To-
Gated along our lines the cars were
contracted for as stated.
THE new cars are the last word In
interurbsn equipment and have been
completed with the most modern sp-
paratus. They are IS feet long, some
what longer than the present Darby
cars, and are heavier than their pre-
decessors. Automatic devices make 1t
impossible 10 operate the cars unless
doors are closed. Another device pre-
vents power being applied TO the motors

than any heretofore operated on these
lines it was decided TO have a thor
ough examination made or all bridges
crossed and 10 have any, as 10 the
strength Of which there could possibly
be any question, reinforced for the sake
Of safety before putting the new equip
ment into service. Accordingly we en-
ployed a bridge engineer who made a
careful examination and report on all
bridges in question and especially as

bridges occasioned by these trolley

"An structures on the Darby route
were reported 10 be amply strong ex-
cepting the one across the Brandywine
Creek at Market street. 10 was recon-
mended that this span and several in
Pennsylvania on other routes be rein
forced and the steel and other mate
rial necessary TO carry out these recon-
mendations was ordered at once. We
are now advised the steel needed for
the Market street bridge win probably
be delivered within one week. and. bar
ring unforeseen delays and with the CO.
operation Of the Levy Court. we will
have the bridge strengthened and the
new cars running early next month.
This line traverses all Of the old as
well as the many new settlements be-
tween this city and Darby and fur
nishes transportation TO the employees
OF the many large industries along the
route. Free transfers are Issued to and
from the lines In Wilmington and Ches-
ter, and at Darby frequent connections
are made over the Philadelphia system.
We increased the service on the Darby
line recently from 30 minute intervals
between cars TO 90 minutes and we be-
lieve the improved service made possi-
bic by reason OF the new equipment and
20-minuie headway will greatly stim-
ulste further activity all along the

John Charles Thomas, a well-known
singer. Will be seen in the leading, one
might almost say the stellar role, In
'Maytlme" at the Playhouse, Monday
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
He holds a contract with the Messrs.
Shubert today that will mean outright
starship for him within the next few
years, and operas specially written Tor
hts voice and personality.
In a recent interview Mr.. Thomas had
this 10 say Of his career TO date:
Had l followed my fathers wishes
should by now be directing sinners
along the path OF salvation, for when
was 10 years OF age became a mem
ber OF the boys choir Of my fathers
church, then in a small town Of Penn
sylvania. This was a good start to-
wards the ministry, but II was also
a start for a career on the stage. How
ever, when Il came time for me TO 80
to college, / kicked the parental traces
and instead Of entering a theological
seminary matriculated for the College
Of Physicians and Surgeons at Balti-
more. Before the first semester was
over was conducting a singing so
ciety at the college. / then began TO
/ feel that ] would rather study singing
/ than medicine. Besides, Just at that
/ time the annual competitions for the
three year scholarship at the Peabody
Institute occurred. Il was then that /
tossed the coin TO help me to decide
whether / should enter the contest or
not. The coin decided In favor OF
entering the contest did so with 60
others and I won the scholarship.
AFTER ! had completed my musical
studies at the Institute (which includ-
ed a summers study In Holland( with
my teacher Adeline Fermin, went TO
New York City to engage In concert
work. However, a friend who admired
nv voice and who was In theatrical
circles, persuaded me TO see Henry w.
savage, who was forming an Every
woman company for the road. He en-
gagged me at once for the role OF Pas
sion In which / sang one song. After
season on tour with this company
returned to New York and was en-
gagged by the Messrs. Shubert Tor Ihe
Passing Show OF 1919 IN when /
played the double role OF an Indian
and a policeman In burlesque. In my
next engagement with De Wolf Hopper
in Gilbert and Sullivan operas, In
which I appeared on tour, was given
more opportunity really to sing. When
/ next Returned TO New York sang
the role OF Count Bolo In The Peasant
Girl Then came an engagement with
The Passing Show Of 1919 Alone at
Last Her Soldier Boy and now In
'Maytime.'
II never dreamed" concluded Mr..
Thomas, "that / would be given such
an ambitious role as the one l now
sing In Maytlme without entering

sing in grand opera. but II such won
derful music continues TO be written
