Camille" In Germa antown

town'in an excellent revival of Dumas
the yOungcr's stage classic. Mae Des-

story, the love of Marguerite Gautier

most every playgOer. The scene OF
Camille on her deathbed was very touch

at the broad humor of the play (which
is its most effective phase). at Sir Toby

STATEMENT RELATIVE TO|
BLUE HOLE" IN NC0RRECT'

James $. Alverson, the cwner of the
land in which the blue hole" of Hick-
ory creek is located, claims that the
statement made by Commissioner Cart
er, in the Ardmoreite. relative TO the
blue hole" having been completely
drained the first three hours of the
test, is absolutely incorrect.
Mr.. Alverson states the. Nh Cart
er has not visited the creek since last
Sunday, and didn't anpcer TO find out
the results of the test.
Within three hours after the pipe
had been laid at the blue hole" the
intake pipe was completely submerged.
Mr.. Alverson said, and for 2S con.
tinuous hours, the flow from the blue
ho,e' continued, and after that length
of time, the pipe at the intake was
filled to about inches from the TOP.
The depth of the water in the hole
was lowered only inches, and now
contains between and 10 feet of
water.
Mr. Alverson states that he stopped
the flow from the blue hole" after
he observed that no attempt was be-
ing made to ascertain the results of
the test.
Should the citizens so desire" he
concluded, they are welcome to come

their cars with city water and even
asked to restrict the use of same
for bathing purposes when men of the

out their heavy trucks and give them
a shower whenever they thought 1t
necessary.
The chief of police informed all
and sundry that as the head of the
police department he was not in
position to furnish the desired in
formation but referred them to the
chief of the fire department instead.
The fire chief, when asked, said that
If the trucks were left in a dirty and
unkempt condition there would be
cause indeed for complaint as the
rules of the department require that
every piece of apparatus be kept in
first class condition and ready for
emergencies at all times.
