SHIPS THAT PASS IN THE NIGHT

Perhaps but a friendly smile,
Or warm hand clasp in greeting;
Yet the day is made worth while
Better, because of the greeting.
The fleeing glimpse of face,
Though never a word be spoken;
Yet soul greets soul through space
Mid a silence all unbroken.
AS ships that pass in the night
Signal each other a greeting,
So lives may be made more bright
By the memory of a meeting.

ALLEGED BOOTLEGCER IS
HELD FOR GRAND JURY
David Shank, of McHenry, Re.
leased on Bond of $1,000 for
Court Action Next Week

David Shank, arrested a few days
ago, on the charge of selling bootleg
liquor, was given a preliminary hear
ing before Justice West on Saturday
last. The charge against Shank is
that he sold half gallon of moon
shine to two young men, one of whom
is not yet of age. His bond was fixed
at $1,000 for his appearance at the
Circuit Court to convene on Monday,
which was furnished by Michael P.
Smith and Charles Barr.
Charles Spring, of Berkeley Springs,
West Va, who has been employed at
Crellin for several months past, was
committed to the Garrett County Jail
Tuesday by Justice E. |. West in de-
fault of bond after he had been given
a preliminary hearing on the charge
OF stealing an automobile tire, inner
tube and rim from an automobile be-
longing to Cecil Ramsey which was
standing in vacant lot on Second
sereet Monday night. The car had
been lacked up and the accessories
taken from one of the wheels of the
machine. Spring will remain in jail
for the action of the grand jury when
it convenes Monday, unless sooner re-
leased on bond for his appearance at
the term of Court.
On last Saturday Justice of the
Peace Jasper Guard, Of Friendsville,
issued warrants for the arrest of
three young men residing in or near
Friendsville, namely, Peter Codding-
ton, Arlie Michael and John Codding-
ton, who were accused by William L..
Durham and w. w. Schlossnagle of
being drunk and acting in a disorderly
manner. The young men were placed
under arrest and were given a hear
ing Monday by Justice West of Oak
land. John Coddington and Michael
were sent to Jail to serve thirty days
each while the charges against Peter
Coddington were dismissed when it
was revealed that he was implicated
in the matter as a peacemaker only.
The youths range in age from 16 to
10 years.
Louis Waingold, Of Oakland, was
fined $50 and costs Monday by Mag
istrate West on an assault charge
preferred against him by Robert

that upon entering Waingold's garage
on Saturday and having spoken to
Waingold concerning an automobile
deal between the parties, he, was or
dered to leave the building, but be-
fore he had reached the doorway he
was struck by Waingold and badly
beaten about the face and head. The
case was appealed to the Circuit
Court by Waingold and will come up
for trial at the term to convene Mon
day next.

WHY THE HUMP In BRIDGE
OVER CASSELMAN RIVER
Two Explanations Of Unusual
Height of Structure Near
GrantSville

Why was the Casselman River
bridge, a short distance east of
Grantsville, built so high, and why
the hump at the apex of the arch?
This question has been asked by
hundreds of motorists passing over
the National Highway to and from
the east and west.
About one hundred Years ago when
internal Improvements was a live
topic in Pennsylvania and MARYLAND.
there was some talk, ii not an actual
plan, to use the Casselman River as a
link In water communication between
the Potomac and Ohio Rivers. The
scheme had in mind the construction
of canal from the Potomac to the
Savage River, some distance east of
Grantsville, thence up that river to a
convenient ridge, which it was pro-
posed to cut through to reach the
waters of the Casselman. By improv-
ing that stream to the Youghiogheny
q NlIetiiilSl MOulu nave DtcIl pIONluSQ
by the Youghiogheny and Mononga-
hela Rivers to the Ohio River, thus
completing canal across the Ale
games, the eastern connection being
at Cumberland with the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, which was then and
still is the head of navigation along
the Potomac.
In order to accommodate the pas
sage through the proposed canal on
the Casselman, it was thought by the
promoters that the bridge should be
high enough for all practical purposes
for navigation.
This plan antedated the Pennslyva-
mia canal, which in connection with
the Allegany Portage Railroad, made
a through route of travel and trans
portation between Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh before the present rail line
was established in the early SOS.
Very soon afterward, however, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was car
ried into Wheeling, w. Va, and be-
tween that town and the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal, which was at first
supposed to compete with the rail-
road and was afterwards completely
absorbed by it, the probability of US
ing the Savage and Casselman Rivers
to complete a canal system, passed by
for all time.
Another story relative to the build
ing of the bridge was that the con-
tractor in charge of the work was in
doubt as to whether it would stand
after the supporting timbers had been
removed. A big celebration had been
planned, but the contractor to ease
his mind went out the night before
and had the main supports cut away
to see if anything would happen. His
apprehension was baseless, as the
bridge has stood for more than hum
bred years, supporting traffic many
times the weight it was intended to
carry. At the time of building, in
or about 1917 or 1918, the bridge is
said to have been the longest single
span bridge in the country and for
this reason, it is said, the contractor
was overly anxious as to his work.

PAYING BONUS Is A HUGE
JOB FOR GOVERNMENT
Enormous Labor Will Be Re-
quired to Correctly Carry
Out New Law

Now that the Soldier Bonus bill is
passed great task of administration
faces the Government. The burden
will fall primarily on the War De-
partments, the Navy Department and
the Veterans Bureau.
The task of the War Department
and the Navy Department is to ascer-
tain the adjusted service credits.
These credits will be forwarded to the
| Veterans Bureau and the claims will
be handled on the basis of these cred
| its.
Cash payments will not be made
until March 1, 1925, and adjusted SER
vice certificates will be dated January
/, 1925, if the application is made
prior to that date Ii made at a sub
sequent date, the certificate will be
dated the first day of the month in
which it is filed.
"Plans contemplate that a force of
| $500 clerks will be required for the
operation. The 200 clerks now in the
World War records division of the
Adjutant GeneaPs Office will consti-
tute nucleus. About two months will
be spent in organizing and training
the complete force. Then applications
will commence to be handled. At first
the output will be small, but ultimate
ly it is assumed that a peak of 10000
certificates a day will be attained.
Based upon an average of 10000 GER
tificates a day, the process should be
completed in about nine months if
applicants are prompt in preparation
of their blanks.
arrangements have been made to
distribute application blanks through
| the Postoffice Department, the Amer
| lean Legion, various military head
quarters and civic societies. Applica-
ton blanks will have about twenty
questions, which are pertinent, to de-
| termine the allowances prescribed by
law. In order to avoid costs to the
applicants, oaths have been avoided
as far as practicable.
"Fingerprint records are required
on the application blank. This is the
first time that this valuable aid to

government bureau in extending bene-
| fits to veterans.

"3. Do not pay fees other than any

81. Do not write the War Depart
ment for any information required
