William Penn Smoked With Women.

William Penn Smoked With Women.
William Penn has a fine record in
the history books. Controversy and
colonial muck raking has~not sullied
his name. But William Penn smoked
with the women. He smoked with
them right out in public. In fact, they
took puffs from the same pipe. Twice
at least did this happen.
But it was peace pipe; Calumet
which he smoked with the big chiefs
and the braves and the squaws of the
tribes that were selling him land. He
made a fine trade for ,frst-class
piece Of land, paying for it in part
with 300 tobacco pipes, 100 hands of
tobacco and 20 tobacco boxes.

FRONT ROYAL FORD
DOES AERIAL STUNT

FRONT ROYAL. Va, Jan. Ia
Three local boys were in what might
have been" a serious automobile acct
dent this week, when the Ford in
which they were riding had a sudden
cranky spell near Warren Springs on
the road from Front Royal to Stras-
burg. Harry Sagar, Levin Eastman
and Ed Gilkey were spinning merrily
along the road when something hap
pened to their radius rod. Then the
fun began. 'Tizzie" promptly left
the road, climbed the, barbed wire
fence, performed few fancy stunts In
the air, and came to earth bottom
side up over In the field, after
dsllcately nipping of about six panels
OF the fence and cluttering up the
scenery generally.
The three boys were unhurt tx
cept for slight Commissions. Eastman
states that when the car finally ceased
its fantastic gyrations, he found
himself holding It on his back and II
was necessary to get the other two
boys to lift It on before he could
crawl out
