therefore, void under an act Of Assem-
bly,.

question Of the legality Of the bequests
to 1t cannot be passed upon until the
life interests have expired. When that
time arrives the witnesses now in a

Attended by the singing of solemn
high mass, the new chapel Of the Poor
Clares, one Of the most ancient of re-
ligious orders of the Roman Catholic
Church, at Girard and Corinthian ave-
nues, was dedicated early yesterday.
Ceremonies were openedoat 6 :45 A. NJ.
The Rev. Hector Papi, Jesuit
father of Woodstock, Md, College,
who was delegated by Cardinal Dough-
erty In his absence to bless the chapel,
performed the dedicatory ceremonies.
The Poor Clares, whose history dates
back 712 years to the Middle Ages,
have been established in Philadelphia
only some five years, having come here
at the instigation of John T.. McClat-
chey, who wished to establish me-
mortal to his deceased wife whose name
was Clare, and who had taken interest
in the ancient order which bore her
name. Mr.. McClatchey purchased the
property on Girard and Corinthian ave-
nues, which Is now their home, and
made extensive alterations to suit the
order.

Stirring tales Of thrilling chases
through heavy seas have been told by
coast guards who have sighted the
staunch craft nosing their way along
the coasts. The power boats of. the

Customs officials along the Canadian

Similar tales have been recounted

WANT SCHOOL IMPROVED
conshohoeken to Vote on Bond Issue
Of About S5o,ooo


Conshohocken taxpayers will be given
an opportunity at the election next
month to pass upon the question Of pro-
viding means, through a bond issue, for
much needed additional public school
facilities.
There were nearly 200 pupils on half
session, for want of room, last term,
and with this number increasing each
month the need for additional room is
imperative. The financial condition Of
the district will not allow Of any
expenditures without the Issuing Of
bonds, and permission for this must
first be gotten from the taxpayers.
II Is estimated that $4,000 will be
necessary to make the needed improve
,ments. A twelveN room addition TO the
present high school building will cost,
It Is stated, about S35 900, and other
necessary expenditures will bring the
needed total to about $50, 900.
