MONEY, STREWN
ALONG TRACKS,
RECOVERED
U. S. Package Of Bills, Run
Over by Train, Picked Up
at HyattsviIIe.

Postoffice inspectors today re.
ported almost complete recovery Of
the $1,000 Treasury shipment Of
bank notes to the First National
Bank Of Hyattsville, Nd. The pack.
age containing the notes was
broken at the Hyattsville station
and bills were strewn along the
railroad tracks last Friday.
Most Of the currency was picked
up by residents Of Hyattsville and
vicinity, but an exhaustive tour by
postal inspectors and bank officials
resulted In finding practically ali of
the money, with but a few notes
missing.
The authorities attribute their
success to the quick action OF Mrs.
Max Fox, Of Hyattsville. Mrs. Fox
was one Of the first to notice the
money on, the tracks. She picked
up about 800 in bills, went homo,
and Immediately got in touch with
an employee Of the bank. Shortly
afterwards the postoffice Inspectors
were on their way to Hyattsyille.
Although scores OF people had
carried away bills, inspectors said
the finders willingly gave up their
spells, following the example of
Mrs. Fox. Investigation showed the
Treasury package had slipped from
loading truck to the tracks. and
was run over by a train.

HARDWARE SITUATION

There does not seem to come the expected complaint about the lack of hardware business caused by the few CT sale of snow removing implements such loss resulting from the warm weather of this winter. There is some note made of the fact. of course. that the sale of such articles has been hampered, but this plaint falls be- fore the persistent report of substan- tial orders being given by retailers for spring merchandise. The outlook con tinues to be good, and the very fact that the open winter with it's disap- pointments in some particulars does not put a damper on the optimistic outlook. shows that there is good req son for relying upon such favorable impression of the immediate future of that line.
 No one doubts but that there will come some fierce winter weather. It is hoped that in the weeks in which winter makes up a bit for lost time, there will be little suffering physically and also that there will be an em- phatic brightening of the retailers trade in the lines which have been backward because of the lack of snow and ice and the need of real winter goods for protection against the cold.
 The outlook pleases, and when this may be said with sincerity in spite of unfavorable weather conditions-un- favorable only in a business way as demoralizing somewhat merchants plans for the winter-there is evidence that in spite of everything our path to continued prosperity is not one beset by quagmires.

SAFE

One cannot refrain from expressing a word of admiration for the men who constantly risk their lives, in line of duty, to advance the battle through a new world--the worlds of the air to success. When the news came yes- terday of the tearing away of the Shenandoah from her mast, and of the plight her crew was In, the fear for their safety was instantaneous. Many shook their heads in half-anger that pioneers in this new field should be allowed to risk their lives in bat tie that they predicted would be vain.
 And so, as we were moved yester- day to anxiety for them, today we feels tremendous sense of relief that they are safe, and that the predictions of the pessimists failed to come true. As long as there is in man the divine spark, there will be found always many willing and eager to risk their lives If the end sought to be gained will be of bepefit to the world. They are to be honored, and to such men as these the world owes it's progress. it's accomplishment May that spirit never die out in America.
