Main street, retaining the use of the
east END Of the structure as a home as
long as she shall live. MIR. Licklider
got possession of the west end of the
building, and he is having it remodel
ed and will have a very comfortable
apartment there. He will install a
furnace, put in a bathroom. electric
lights and other cpnveniences, and make
IT a desirable home. A part OF the
back building was torn down TO make
room for porches. the other part being
allowed 10 stand. One of its features
was an enormous ld-fashioned chim-
ney, containing many hundreds of
bricks, which was used as the fireplace
and Hue for the kitchen when the build
ing was hotel many years ago. The
other night this old chimney fell with
a great clatter Just at midnight. and
1t so weakened the other part of the old
wing that it had TO be torn down. Thus
passes the south wing of one of the
historic old buildings of the town.
No one knows just how old the struc-
ture is, but it is said that soldiers were
quartered there during the revolution
ary war.

Play Ground Director.

Mrs. French Yoke, OF Piedmont, w.
Va, began her work on Monday last
as playground instructor under the
auspices of the Woman's Club of Shep-
herdstown district. The children Of
the community, between the ages of
five and ten years, are invited to par
ticipate in the playground pleasures
the hours being from 9 a. m. to noon.
The sessions are held at the Vir-
ginia House on Washington street..
where there is a pleasant lawn and
where there are numerous advantages
TO be enjoyed by the youngsters. AS
yet no equipment has been purchased,
but Mrs. Yoke, who has had consider
able experience in this line OF work,
entertains the children with various
games, old and new, and with story
telling.

To Haul School Children.

The board Of education OF Shep-
herdstown district, which decided 10
close the public school on the Shep-
herd Grade and Lemen's school, west
of town. and bring the pupils to the
Shepherdstown Graded School, has
awarded the contract for hauling the
children to town and back again T.
A. Carter gets the contract for the
route by Billmyer's Mill and Nc
Quilkin's. and George r. Mckee VIII
haul, those who attended the Shepherd
Grade school. They will go after the
children in the morning and take them
home again after school in the even
ing. The price for each contract is
around five dollars a day for each day
that the trips are made, or about a
hundred dollars month. There is
but little difference in the cost of
hauling the pupils and maintaining the
country schools. The basic salary OF
teachers is S85 a month now, and this
added to the expense OF keeping the
country school open will amount to al
most as much as the cost Of transport
tation. II is conceded that the pupils
will have much greater advantages in
the town school than in the little coun-
try schools, and our board OF educa-
ton is to be commended for bringing
about the consolidation.

Must Take the Pasteur Treatment.

The Register last week told of an
attack made by dogs on little Lawrence
Burean at Bridgeport, opposite Shep-
herdstown, and how severely he had
been bitten by them about the face and
body, his grandfather, Geo. w. Burgan,
being bitten on the leg at the same
time. The four dogs were killed and
the head OF one of them was sent TO
Baltimore for examination. Word was
received last Friday that investiga-
tion showed that the dog had been
slightly affected by rabies, and that
it would be advisable for the persons
bitten to take the Pasteur treatment.
Mr.. Burgan and Lawrence left for Bal
timore on Monday, and are now taking
the prescribed treatment, which will
cover a period Of twenty-one days.
The occurrence is most unfortunate
one, but there is satisfaction in know
inp that the Pasteur treatment is an
absolute preventive OF hydrophobia and
that TO further anxiety need be felt BY
those who were bitten.

Serious Domestic Troubles.

A divorce suit that will attract con-
siderable notice in Jefferson and Berke-
ley counties was instituted in Martins
burg last Monday, when Attorneys A.
B. Noll and c. N. Campbell, repre-
senting Mrs. Mary V. Yoe, filed papers
in such suit against her husband
Horace G. Yoe. In her bill, Mrs. Yoe
prays the court to permit her to re-
tain the custody of the couples nine
year-old son. The husband seeks TO
get possession of the boy and had Sc
cured from Judge J. M. Woods a writ
OF habeas corpus to that effect. The
institution of divorce suit nullifies
Yoe's action until the court passes on
the divorce plea. Mrs. Yoe, who is a
daughter Of Warner VanMetre, a we'll
known farmer Of Berkeley county, al
leges that she was compelled to leave
her husband because Of fear of bodily
harm and death. She states that soon
after they were married in Martins
burg in 1909, her husband began to
display fits Of violent temper, perhaps
insanity. On three occasions she re-
turned to him, but on the fourth, when
II is alleged he sought to set fire to
her hair, she refused to return.

Snake Was Living High.

il open, four good sized squads that il
had swallowed only a few hours be-
fore were found in its digestive ap-
paratus. Since the snake was killed
Mr. Cookus has gotten twice as many
eggs from his chickens as before, and
he is confident that the snake has
been living high off of poultry products
at his expense.

Old Road Abandoned.

The old road along the river at Knott's
Island, east Of Shepherdstown, from the
old Hoffman Mill site to the end Of the
island at the Maggie Knott place, is to
be closed. The county commissioners
visited that section last week and de-
cided to abandon the old road and poem
up a new road through the lands OF
Grover Sager, E. II. Reinhart and DR..
S. T. Knott, serving the residents OF
that section. The old road which is
now TO be abandoned used to be beau
tiful one, running along the rivers edge
from one end Of Knott's Island to the
other, and was a favorite drive. No re-
pairs have been made upon il for years,
and naturally ii went to the bad. At
places the outer edge had dropped in
TO the river, weeds and brambles and
bushes SO overhung the road that pas
sage was almost impossible, big holes
were made and never filled up, and for
several years scarcely vehicle passed
that way. There is some regret that
what might have been beautiful drive
has now been abandoned.

BoOtleggers AT Charles Town.

Interesting DEVELOPMENTS in connec-
ton with traffic in bootleg liquor trans
pred last week, SAYS the Advocate. A
monster picnic of colored excursion
lists from Washington had been sched-
uled for Monday to be held in Henkle's
grove, between Halltown and Millville.
The presence of a crowd of the size of
the ore promised proved a tempting
bait for the moonshiner
Early Monday morning Chief of Po-
lice James A. Smith was quietly tip
ped off" that a truck load Of moonshine
was making its way from Hagerstown.
The further information was confided
to him that part of the load would
be left in Charles Town, the names of
those who were to distribute the goods
being also conveyed in the message.
Policeman Smith with Policeman Lon
Allen soon got on the track of those
whom the telephone message to the
chief indicated would dispense the re-
freshmentS to the thirsty among their
customers. The home Of Charles
Houke. colored, in the southwest end
of town, was the first place visited bv
the officers. There they found a small
supply of liquor in a demijohn con-
cealed in a trunk. In the kitchen of
the Houke home. with an oilcloth care
lessly covering them, we're found two
tin cans, each of them containing five
gallons Of some kind Of liquor. Taking
the contraband containers into their
possession, the officers proceeded 10
the home of Marian Walker, colored,
in the same -neighborhood. Marian
was seen leaving her home with sus-
picious-looking package under her
apron as the men approached her house.
Before going far she was apprehended

the familiar fragrance of moonshine.

4. A Service Specialist

When you drive your car up to the Stand
ard Eight service station, you may be
little uncertain as to just what service is
needed, or what treatment is required A
skilled automobile engineer in the ground
hoor Office Immediately goes out and exam
ines the car. He is trained man who in
most cases can detect instantly the cause Of
any failure of an automobile to function
properly. The business of this man IS to be
the car owners representative. His object
10 to keep cars out Of the service station
unless they belong in there. If the trouble is
Slight, the location of the service station
permits Sidewalk" repairs, or readjust-
rncnts. If the trouble is serious, or one that
requires time to remedy, everything that
needs to be done is carefully recorded on a
special form, and copy supplied the owner.
AN approximate date is assigned for the re-
delivery of the car, and it is run into the
station. where work upon it very shortly
commences.

An Automobile Service Station
with Eight Great Ideas


a N automobile is powerful and intr-
"A cate mechanism, but it is a mechanism
4 n and its power depends on delicate
adjustments. just as you sometimes need to
give attention to your own physical con-
dition, an automobile, with infinitely harder
work to do, will periodically require expert
attention.
Ever since the automobile became a prac-
teal necessity in average American life, the
question of prompt and effective service has
been the biggest question touching either
the industry or the individual car owner.
In the new hreproof service station Just
opened in Long Island City, the Standard
Steel Car Company, manufacturers of the
Standard Eight automobile, have combined
eight great ideas into the creation of auto
mobile service which, from the car owners
point of view, is almost ideal. Not all the
ideas arc new, not ali are original, but all
arc good. Automobile owners will be GLAD
to learn about them,

Z. Complete Testing Facilities

One OF the annoyances of old-fashioned
service was to leave car at a service station
to have several things done to it, and on
receiving it back, to find that at least one
Of these things had not been properly atten-
ded to. Two wide, long ramps which con-
meet the floors of the Standard Eight service
station serve not only as quick means Of
getting the cars IN and out, but furnish ideal
hill and brake tests on the car which has
been N icr repairs. Just outside the station
the streets stretch away where one may
drive mile or more around several blocks,
without encountering any condition of
traffic which would interfere with the
accuracy Of the test ride, which is to deter
mine that the car is in practically perfect
running condition

when carbon is to be removed. This lob is
done away from other cars for obvious

What Automobile Service
Really is

Automobile service, III the conception of
the makers Of the Standard Eight, is not
altogether something that you have done to
the car, but rather something that you get
out of the car. In other words, service to a
Standard Eight owner is not a matter of
repairs, but of long-continued use of the car.
with minimum of difficulty The Stand
ard Eight is made and the Standard Eight
service maintained that cars may run longer:
that they may be owned and used with
complete satisfaction, year after year, by
the same family; and that the difficulties
which beset automobile owners in the early
days OF the business will disappear, if not
entirely, almost entirely.

L. The Right Location

The word perfect" is a strong word to
apply to any location. One might say that
perfect place for service station would be
at Columbus Circle or Times Square, but
it would not be. In addition to prohibitive
rents and other costs, there would be no
convenient way to test the car on the road
after it had been repaired or overhauled. A
perfect location for an automobile service
station is:
A. Where there is plenty of room, inside
and outside;
B. A place that is easy to get to in car,
Or easy to get to and away from by rapid
transit.
The new Standard Eight service station
is located at Queensborough Plaza, less than
100 yards from the Queenssoorough Plaza
station in Long Island City. 1t is just half
block from the approaches to the Queens
borough Bridge (the 59th Street bridge). The
following transit lines are available at this
point:
Queensborough Traction trolleys d 5oth
Street Crosstown.
Interborough Rapid Transit to Grand
Central Station,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit to Times Square,
End Avenue 81" to 57th Street and End
