MARYLAND'S "GRETNA GREEN
Its Fate Hangs By Thread Before the
Maryland Legislature.-BlOw To
marrying Parsons"

AS "Gretna Green" Maryland is
threatened with extinction and the
many ministers of doubtful, or ques-
toned authority to perform marriage
ceremonies, who have found profita-
BILE field in Elkton the most popular of
all the towns in Maryland for eloping
couples face the prospect of having to
seek another means of livelihood.
This condition of affairs became immi-
nent last week when the State Assem-
bly, at Annapolis received a favorable
report on the bill submitted by Dele
gate Joseph, and which was returned
by the House Judiciary Committee. 1t
has been made a special order of busi-
ness for today Wednesday. The meas
ure, as it now stands, will regulate
marriages. to such an extent that a AS
hour residence in Maryland will be
necessary before the couple can be
united in the bonds of wedlock, follow
ing the obtaining of the necessary Ii
cense. Another section of the bill
makes it necessary for the minister
empowered to perform marriages hav-
ing a license issued by the State. 1t
olsO clorifies the law prohibiting the
marriage of minors without the con-
sent of their parents or guardians.
At present any young couple may go
to ElktOn and by declaring themselves
to be of the proper age, secure a mar
riage license, and repair to the nearest
clergyman or marrying Parson" and
become man and wife in compara-
lively few minutes. Honeymoon
Specials" are met at the railroad sta
tion by taXicab drivers who are alleg-
ed to have formed combinations with
ministers with whom they "split So
so" on the marriage fees. Other min
listers are chorged, OF at least sus-
pected, of hauntisg the railroad sta
tions and placing themselves in the
way of eloping couples with the objec
of being called upon to perform the
marriage ceremony. Previous to 1911;
Delaware had a plant and flexible
marriage law, and Wilmington wa
the mecca of many runaway couple
who wanted to-marry quikly and with
out being called upon to answer
great many embarrassing questions.

SMYRNA GAS WORKS AGAIN
PASSES To NEW OWNERSHIP
PAUL ]. RUTAN SELLS HIS GAS
PLANT TO JOHN V. POSTLES.
Deal COnsummated Last Week to Be.
come Effective April 1.-Mr. Pos
ties Connected With u. G.

The Smyrna Gas Works long owned
by the late Joseph Smithers, and
since 1916 has been in the control of
the Frost Gas Company, and Mr.. A.
Lee Cummins, Mr.. c. Raymond Cum
Minis and Paul j. Rutan, under the cor
pOrate name of The Smyrna Light,
Heat and Power Company, has been
sold to Mr.. John V. Postles, of Phil
adelphia, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
E. Postles, of this town at private
terms. The deal is effective April 1st
next. For sometime it had been
known that Paul j. Rutan, owner Of
the Smyrna Light, Heat and Power
Company was anxious to dispose of
the plant, and while several parties
had been considering it, the deal was
closed with Mr.. Postles last week.
John V. Postles, who for several years
had been holding fine position with
the United Gas Improvement Com
pany, of Philadelphia, does not intend
to relinquish his position, but will
give his plant in Smyrna the benefit
! of his years of experience and have
the plant in charge of able assistants
to the end that the best service pos
sible will be given with the equipment
at present in hand. His father, Mir
Frank Z. Postles will look after the
office and the collections.
New and Larger Holder to be Installed
1t may not be this season, but as
soon as possible he will install a new
and up-to-date holder of sufficient ca
pacity to take care of Smyrnas need;
for years to come. He will also i'm
prove the service with additional pipe
lines and will endeavor to put tht
plant in better shape than it has eve
been. Because of poor service in tn
past some customers have been force,
to give up gas and resort to oil ant
gasoline stoves for cooking. Mr. Pos
ties hopes in time to win all old Gus
timers back and to encourage a NOR
general use of gas than ever. 1t will
take time to put the plant in condition
for the service he hopes to give Smyr
ma and it is hardly possible that mucl
can be done before the summer busi
ness takes on, but plans are beinI
laid to increase tn efficiency of tn
plant as soon as it is possible to d
so.
Perhaps in Time Line to CaytOn.
Perhaps in time pipe line may b
run to Clayton, but this has not bee
, definitely settled. What repairs ar
necessary will be made at once and
new holder, it is hoped, will be install
ed before another year. Friends c
! Mr.. Postles are glad he has taken owe
, the plant and hope his wide experienC
in the gas game will mean a bette
! day for the Smyrna Gas Works.

The !
King of the Hill {
BY Christopher G. Hazard
20. 1922. Western Newspaper Union.)

tC, lSzZ, western newspaper
THE long hill glistened in the win
- ter moonlight like frosted cake.
silvered ribbon, reaching across the
railroad track and or through the val
ley, lost itself in shimmering haze
of snowy whiteness. The wind, as II
afraid of awakening the sleeping
town, had hushed itself into stiffness,
waiting along the way and under the
shadows of the quiet trees for the sig.
nal of dawn. The scene was an invita-
ton to sport now largely displaced
by rushing motor cars, but then one of
the chief delights of the Christmas
season. The bObsled of those days
and nights was the pride of owners
and the prize winner of competitions.
The annals of the Slater Hill race
course registered trimnphs as real and
momentOus as those of any race track,
The moon had watched with an ex-
pectant eye until ten of the clock and
was about to retire under passing
cloud in disappointment, when the
clamOr and shouting of an approach
ing crowd renewed it's spirit. From a
side street they came, merry lads and
lasses, with those of later years who
had not forgotten how to be young.
Soon the head of the hill was crowded
with competitors and the air rang
with the bustling preparations for the
first race.
The sleds of that time were no or
binary affairs. Large enough to hold
from four to six passengers, they re-
joiced in significant titles and all the
beauty and comfort that their makers
art could put intp shape paint and
upholstery. When loaded and on
