a second of that stuff on rail crossings
has been the undoing of many a mo-
torist.
One danger we need not worry
about is that anybody is going to
break his neck hurrying back to WORK
from his vacation!
The Brooklyn bridge hadn't slipped
an inch before it was noticed, but the
carefulness of the average auto driver
can slip mile without him even sus-
pecting it.
A few more 25 year sentences and
many of these robbers are liable to
conclude that the business does not
pay so well after all
Some drivers show a lot of sense
and reasoning power by deciding that
all rail crossings are dangerous be
fore instead of after they get busted
up.
Every time we see the account OF
an auto striking a buggy or wagon at
night, we can't help wondering which
one didn't have any light a showing.

A MEMORIAL GIFT TO WEST
NOTTINGHAM.

In recent correspondence with
the Pastor of West Nottingham
church George A. Smith, Baltimore,
expressed his desire to make some
permanent improvement at the
church as memorial to his mother
and sister.
After thoughtful consideration
of the project with his brother, A.
Bradley Smith, Philadelphia, they
decided to install electric lights at
West Nottingham. The churcn,
chapel, and grounds will be lighted.
This is most serviceable and lovely
memorial to those who loved and
served so well their chosen church.
Mr.. Smith in a letter to the Pas
tor writes: 1--WE are Influenced in
our decision by the desire that this
work may be of such usefulness and
beauty that it may be appreciated by
your church as we'll as credit ia
the cause to which it Is intended to
dedicate"
The Geo. w. Walther Co., Inc.
have received the contract, and will
begin the work at once.

DOG DAYS.

Dog days, the hot, sultry season
of summer during parts of July and
August; so called from the fact that
the rising of the dog-star, Sirius, is,
during this period, coincident with
the rising of the sun, are here.
The rising of that star, however, is
not set event, but changes irreg-
ularly. Therefore no definite time
can be set as to the opening of "dog
days." but July Srd is generally
looked upon as the official beginning
of the period.
The ancient Greeks are given
credit for first observing the season.
They attributed mad dogs, boils, the
souring of wine, hysteria and hay
fever to the evil influence of the dog
star, Canicula, which is due to rise
about this time of the year.
In order to appease Canicula the
Greeks every year sacrificed fat
brown dog. The practice has long
since died out, but "dog days" con-
tinue. Hay fever, boils and angry
eanines are also still with us.

DAMAGED BY IIGHTNING.

The public hall at Oakryn, Pa,
was struck by lightning during the
storm of Saturday afternoon, July /,
and narrowly escaped being burned.
The lightning found its way to the
cellar, exploding the gasoline tank
and in few minutes the blaze was
noticeable from the windows. The
fire followed the pipes which sup
piled the lights In the auditorium,
and the curtains ignited. While
not wholly destroyed they will have
to be replaced. The woodwork was
considerably damaged and the en-
tire building would have burned but
for Rev. William H. Davies and
Ellsworth Carter, who reside on the
opposite side of the road, and
hastened to the building using the
fire extinguishers and soon got the
fire under control.

CAR OVER EMBANKMENr.

A large Mcfarland six touring
car was run over the steep bank on
the curve of the State road Just this
side Of Porters Bridge on Friday
night, and plunged down the steep
embankment fully thirty feet. There
is considerable mystery surrounding
the supposed accident, as two men
were seen working about the car
Friday night at ten o'clock, along
the roadside about one hundred
yards from the point where the car
later went over the embankment.
AS there was no call for assistance
to nearby dwellers and no one was
hurt. 1t appears to have been one of
the numerous insurance cases.

this auto age.
The big car was dragged up the
embankment onto road by a Balti-

FIRE AT FREMONT.
Store Totally Destroyed-Rising Sun
and Oxford Fire Companies
Respond.

Fire of unknown origin totally
destroyed the large two-story frame
store building at Fremont, Pa, four
miles north of Rising Sun, on Mon
day night. The property was known
as 'Kirk's Store" the building hav-
ing been erected in 1871 by Isaac
Kirk, who for years previous to his
death conducted general merchan-
disc business at the stand. For
some time past the property haa
been rented by Joseph Morris who
conducted general store ON the
first floor of the building and used
the second floor for dwelling pur-
poses.
The Morris family was away from
home Monday evening and the fire
was discovered about 9:45 o'clock
by P. j. Kirk, who lives just across
from the store. Mr.. Kirk immedi-
ately telephoned to Oxford and Ris-
Ing Sun, and the fire companies
from these towns responded with
their auto engines, taking with
them all available hose, as the near.
est water supply was the creek,
about one quarter of mile distant
from the scene of the fire.
The companies combined forces
and laid long line of hose from the
creek up the hill to the burning
structure, and after considerable de-
lay got stream of water on the fire,
only to have the hose burst under
the immense pressure required to
force the water such a distance.
Finally, with the Oxford engine OH
the bridge at the creek and the Ris-
Ing Sun engine half way up the hill,
to relay the pumping, a powerful
stream was thrown on the fire and
also upon the Kirk dwelling, which
was in such close proximity as to be
endangered.
Fortunately the wind was blowing
from quarter that carried burning
embers and sparks away from other
buildings.
The fire had gained such head
way before the arrival Of either
engine that the building was doomed
before a stream Of water could be
gotten upon it.
Mr.. Morris lost everything, in.
cluding his general merchandise
Tstock and all his household goods.
There was an insurance of 1900 on
the stock, and 5000 ON the house
hold goods.
The building was owned by P. J..
Kirk, and was insured for $1,000.
The total loss was about $4,000,

The three Maryland agricultural
club boys, Warren Rice, of Sylmar,
George Worrilow, of North East,

in boys live stock judging contest
at the English Royal Live Stock

ms, State Boys Club Agent, Univer-
sity of Maryland, and w. C. Snarr,

sion Service, accompanied the boys

tween the American and English

the English Royal Stock Show and
the English boys who competed
were selected from an organization
similar to the Agricultural Boys
Clubs, which are conducted in this
country by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture and the

test at the Timonium Fair last fall.

mons, director of the Maryland Ex-
tension Service, said that the news

to the opportunities open to rural
boys and girls through club work to
learn the things that make real
agricultural achievements possible.
