II. JEFFERSON KRISE SEVERELY
BURNED

H. J. Krise, so years old, proprietor
of the Krise Millinery, 139 North Mar
ket street, Frederick, made a narrow
escape from serious injuries last
Thursday night when he fell in going
TO an upstairs room. Two lighted
lamps, which Mr.. Krise was carrying
at the time, dropped to the floor, one
of them exploding and throwing burn
ing oil over him.
1t was after 10 o'clock when Mr..
Krise was ready to retire. AS he
started from the first floor of the
house, he picked up two lighted lamps,
one in each hand. His housekeeper,
Julia Ham, was going up the steps
behind him and was carrying coal
oil stove for her bedroom.
Mr.. Krise had reached the turn at
the head of the steps when he sudden
ly lost his footing and fell almost to
the bottom of the stairs. The one
lamp vas extinguished when it fell to
the floor and the other exploded. The
aged nan was knocked unconscious by
his fall and his right hand was COW
cred with burning oil.
A physician was summoned and
dressed his injuries. He was
fortunate enough to escape serious in
juries from his fall.
Mr.. Krise was formerly resident
of Thurmont.

DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONS.

Replying to QUESTIONABLE, forty
Goucher College girls practically
agree that there is no such thing as a
perfect man. Twenty-Five of them
5aboo the perfect man idea, and all the
others josh about it. One says that a
male who laughs lot and doesn't
talk much might bat fair percentage
An overwhelming majority in an
swer to the question. "In what field
do you think woman's success is most
readily achieved?" replied "homemak-
ing and motherhood" To be exact
twenty-seven wrote this answer
and the others ventured the be-
lief that the most fertile fields are
education of the young, welfare work
and proper amusement. One dramat-
ic young person penned with tremb-
ling hand, "On the battlefield"
Twenty eight of the forty have been
kissed, most of them by men; twenty
of them liked being kissed-by men.
One of the other eight knocked the
man down and walked on him. The
surviving six are Indifferent about it
and do not care to repeat the eXper-
fence.
Twenty-ene of them stand ready to
marry the men they love, even though
they sign the pay roll weekly for $25.
Seventeen wouldn't think of it even
if they loved them. To the query as
to whether they believe woman's po-
litical activity is limited, they all say
that it is, but that it ought not to be.
Reasonable annual expenditures for
clothing were quoted at from 500 to
$1,000, the average being about $3.50.
Thirty-one view the camel walk
with disfavor. Eight said it was o.
K, and the other hesitated a minute
and said it was right when she did 1t.

Helen Ferguson Drexler, of Wau-
kegan, ILL.,, daughter of a Brooklyn,
N. Y, family, who admits she is a
nut on soldiers and sailors, but don't
like Marines" is in a cell at the county
Jail in Illinois trying to recall the
names of eleven of her fifteen hus-
bands.
Equipped with one baby and pen
chant for hero husbands, the govern
ment alleges that Mrs. Drexler has
collected as high as $500 a month in
soldiers allotment checks from the
government for the last three years.
In 1917, she says, she married Will
fred Taylor, a soldier, and they had a
son, now three years old.
Next she married Paul Moler, sol
der; then Thomas Meehan, sailor,
at Great Lakes, and next Albert Drex-
Ter, soldier at Camp Grant. Altho
she has retained Drexler's name, there
have been at least eleven husbands
since him, she estimates. She never
obtained a divorce from any of them,
she says.

Children Cry
FOR FlETCHER'S
Q a 8 TORIA

We noted in our last issue an incl
dent referring to burst water pipe
in the pantry of one of the homes in
Thurmont.
We wish to correct the statement
and set ourselves Alright in the minds
of our readers who may have since
heard a correct statement of the facts
in the case.
About the only correct thing in the
whole item was the location of the
pipes and the fact that they burst.
The burst, like the Leak in the
Dixie" was closed temporarily by one
hand, so you see how far off we were
from the truth.
We are endeavoring to believe with
Indifferent success, however) that our
informant Of last week sought to play
a practical joke on us and we "fell
for it."
1t has been our intention to give to
our readers every item of interest that
we can get hold of, and as nearly cor
rect rs humanity possible while it is
necessary for us to be our own re-
porter, editor, compositor, proof read
er, pressman, purchasing agent, book
keeper, shipping clerk, etc.
We have made lots of Typographical
errors; some through carelessness,
some through being pressed for time,
and for other reasons; and wa are 60
ing to continue to make mistakes as
long as we are human; but-we are
playing the game to win, and begin
ming with this issue we are going to
play just little harder during the
next six months than we have through
those six just past.
We want to give you all there is to
tell about our town and the surround
ing towns and we want to give it to
you straight. Besides this we spend
quite number of hours a week be-
tween p. m. and 100 a. m. selecting
such general items as we think might
be of interest to you.
The general items you will easily
recognize as being such, and we do not
vouch for their authenticity.
We enjoy criticism, advers or other
wise, and we accept both in a like
spirit.
We prefer the adverse criticism to
be made to us, else the good that may
come from it will be engulfed in the
harm that may be done. The "other-
wise" criticism does good wherever it
falls.
Two Incidents occurred during the
past week. One subscriber said, eve
like your paper very much," and as
an afterthought, at can be greatly i'm
proved" We will improve it. An
other said, "your paper is rotten this
week." We are preparing special
germinant that will bring roses where
once was desolation.
What we are trying to get at in
the above harangue is that if you are
friend of the editor of a country
newspaper "give it to him straight"
so that he may not be called upon to
correct misstatements; or to add to
any item 1--WE have been unable to ver-
ify the above" etc., which would real
ly render It yalueless as a niece of
news.

Constipation of the bowels is a
stoppage of the sewerage system,
that removes waste matter from the
body. 1t is as necessary t hat your
bowels move regularly once each day,
to carry off this waste, as it is that

AGAIN MISSES JOURNEY TO
GRAVE OF FATHER

Lawrence Diehlman, Thurmont, was

TREASURY SAVINGS CERTIFI-
GATES

Official announcement has been re-
ceived by Postmaster JOS. G. Gernand,
of Thurmont, that the interest rate of
Treasury Savings Certificates has
been increased to Az per cent. The
higher rate goes into effect on the
1922 issue of the certificates placed on
sale January list at the local post
Office.
Increase of the interest rate on this
class of Government securities means
that Uncle Sam will really sell $25
certificates for 500; 500 certificates
for $50, and $1,000 certificates for $500
provided the purchaser or recipient
holds the security to it's five year ma
turity date. Another feature of the
new certificates is the fact that indi-
viduals and corporations will be per-
mitted to purchase and own as high
as $4,000 worth of the securities by
virtue of recently enacted legislation.
The previous limit was $1,000 and the
former interest rate per cent.
The Treasury has concentrated on
the new securities, eliminating the
twenty-five cent thrift stamp and the
SIS war savings stamp after December
81, 1921. Sale of the 81 treasury
savings stamp will be continued to pro-
vide an easy method of regular saving
for conversion into Treasury Savings
Certificates.
New regulations provide also that
postal savings may likewise be con-
verted into Treasury Savings Certi-
ficates under a combined plan of sales
between the Treasury and the Post
Office Departments. The certificates
offer ideal investment opportunities
up to $4,000, as they are exempt from
all state, county and local taxes and
the normal income tax.
mo safer investment can be found
than these certificates for the indi-
vidual who can not afford to run the
risk of loss. These securities are
guaranteed both as to principal and
interest by the resources of the United
States Government and are not sub
ject to market fluctuations" said
Howard T. Cree, Director Of the Gov
eminent Savings Organization.

In order to look over every bit

twonty new candidates TO report

The Mountainere mentor has been
greatly disappointed with the
teams hitting and IN the hope Of
uncoyering some capable hitters
he has completely reversed his
practice plans. Instead OF max
ing a "cut" In the squad as was
planned he has ordered an In
crease, thus crowdlng the athletic
field with aspirants for Varsity
berths.
Whom a preliminary call was
made for candidates no less than
SIS men put in their names. Forty
seven Of these were QUILTED and
equipped by the athletic depart
mcnt and about fifteen others
came out in uniforms OF their
own. Rodgers thought that he
could mouth a well-balanced club
from this number, but when he
lound that he was mistaken he did
not hesitate to call out more cam
didates.
Rodgers has over.crowded the
field in the hope that he will and
In the ranks Of the twenty new
candidates someone capable OF
development into a real" sing
ger. Because Of the nearness OF
the opening games and the impor-
lance OF other matters that need
his attention he Is not going to
have a whole lot OF time to devote
to this work among the new mate
rial and unless some OF them at
tract his attention Immediately
the long-planned "cut" will be
made,
