DONCS IN CTTYS SOCIAL CIRCLES
MISS PERSIS SN0DGRASS )
TO WED 7. D. WARlNG

Within the last two or three days
announcement has been made IN
this city of the engagement OF Miss
Persis Snodgrass, daughter OF the
Rev. w. c. Snodgrass. of Springfield,
n. j., who was at time pastor
of the local Simpson NJ. f. church,
to Tracy ID. waring. SOL OF the a
r. s. Waring. of Pittsburgh, Pa
The romance of particular interest
not only to the social circles of the
city, but in the business circles as
well as both Miss Snodgrass and Mr..
waring have been prominently iden-
tilted with the local chapter OF the
American Red Cross for the past
several years. The exact date of the
wedding has not been set but ii is
known that IL will be a very quiet af-
fair, probably to take place at the
home of Miss Snodgrass in Spring.
field. within the next two or three
weeks.
Miss Snodgrass is at present execu-
tive secretary of the local Red Cross
chapter which place she has occu-
pied for several years. The chapter
has f1ourished under her supervision
and since her coming to this city,
Miss Snodgrass has occupied an en-
yiable position in the business and
social world. She will continue her
duties. however, as secretary of the
chapter until the new secretary can
be procured.
Mr.. Warning, who has resided in
this city for the past twenty years,
just last week resigned as the chair
man of the Red Cross Chapter,
which since he took the position of
chairman three and a half years ago
has grown from a miniature organ
ization to one of the most flourish
ing chapters in the United States.
Mr.. Waring has been identified with
many local welfare movements. He
is a former director of the library
board and is at present president of
the local Boy Scouts Council. AS a
business man he is now assistant
manager of the local plant of the
Standard Underground Gable Works
and it was announced last week that
he had been promoted to the posi-
ton of manager at another of the
company's plants, but the place was
not given out. Miss Snodgrass will
no doubt accompany MI. Waring to
the place of his new position as his
bride.

Crossing Grade

The elimination Of grade crossings
through this city was the principal
topic up for discussion last night at
the meeting OF the State Street In
provement Association held in tbs
lobby of the Raritan Trust Company.
A general discussion took place con
corning the plans as given YESTERDAY
in the Evening News. and the asso-
citation went on record in favor OF a
union station. Another feature OF
the plan which did not meet the
approval of the association was the
raising OF Smith street, those present
being of the opinion that the rail-
road company should depress the
tracks to a greater depth so thai
the proposed grade of the street
would not be necessary.
A committee was appointed con
sisting of DIR. George w. Tyrrell. D..
Charles I. Silk, Max Cast, Maize
Leichtman and John N. Kennedy, 20
get in touch with the Western I'm
provement Association and get this
organization interested in behalf OF
the union station. The committop
will also take up with the Board Of
Aldermen the idea Of employing Il
body of engineers to go owe the
plans of the crossing elimination so
that the city may be able to obtain
the best possible results. This com :
mittee will also take up other i'm
provements which will be of benefit
to State street and the city as q
whole.
The fact that several Of the fac
tories in the northern section of the
city have a petition before the Boarl
of Aldermen for a bus line was alsJ
called to the attention of the asso-
citation with the result that the asso-
citation will present a petition to the
aldermen requesting that a bus he
placed in operation between Smith
street and the city line in State
street.
