CUMBERLAND, Md, July a.
In an opinion filed today in the
Allegany County Circuit Court by
Judge Albert A. Doub the right of
injunction is denied in what is known
as 1.-The chain store managers contract"
case, which has attracted wide atten-
ton in the business world. This was
the petition for an injunction filed by
the National Family Stores Corporation
OF New York with a local branch to
enjoin Sol Widman. a former store man.
ager, from engaging in the clothing
business in Cumberland within a So
mile radius after Widman had signed
contract agreeing to that provision.
The opinion is lengthy one citing
many authorities, including English
courts. in cases bearing on employment
contracts
Discharged as Manager.
On January 6 last, Widman was
employed as manager of the local store,
one of eighty in the country. On April
IL. Widman was discharged upon few
hours notice, according to the bill,
wlaereupon he opened a store, known
as National Outfitters, about one block
from the Liberty Store, where he had
been manager
The bill of complaint charged viola
ton of managers contract.
Judge Doub in his opinion says: 1T
Is shown Widman knows nothing else
but the clothing business. He is married,
has family ard home and If he
complied with this covenant, he would
be compelled to go to another city. He
had rented home and Notwithstanding
the nature of his contract of employ
ment, he had perhaps reasonable right
to expect more or less permanency for
his job. Under the contract, after bring
ing his family to Cumberland, employed
for a time he is discharged, and must
leave Cumberland. The contract Is not
a contract between equals and therefore
they did not deal on equal terms"
The court concludes: II do not feel
that it Is such a contract as ought to
be enforced in equity. Courts of equity |
have always refused to enforce harsh |
and unfair bargains"

WATER COMPANY
TO INSTALL PUMP
0ne-Furth of Cumberland
Supply of Filtered Product
Gone in Drought.

CUMBERLAND, Md, July 26.--with
one-fourth of the city's available sup
ply of filtered water gone from Lake
Gordon. officials of the Evitts Greek
Water Co. are planning for the install
lation of pump which will add 1,000,-
000, 900 available gallons to the present
SOC, 000, 900 gallons. The water in the
lake, which is located in Bedford
County, Pa, nine miles north of Cum
berland, is now four feet below the
spillway. At Is feet below the spillway
no more filtered water can be delivered
to the city From the 16-foot level to
the 30-foot level raw water or chlor-
mated water can be delivered, but the
filters cannot be used. The water from
the 30-foot mark to the bottom, another
80 feet, cannot be delivered at all by
present means.
Only on one occasion has treated
water been delivered in the city and
that was about six years ago when the
water fell to 16 feet below the spillway.
The new pump will cost about $4,000.

BURNT mills, Md, July 26.-The
construction Of a permanent filtration
plant here. to cost between 5000. 900 and
100000, is being considered by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission, it was learned today.
Plans for the project are being drawn
under the direction of Chief Engineer
Robert b. Morse, and it is understood
that the commission expects to have the
new plant in operation by next Sum-
nser.
Plant to Be Modern.
AS yet the sanitary body has not
definitely committed itself to build the
filtration plant, but it has been agreed
among members that such q step prob
ably will follow completion Of the plans
and specifications.
The new plant would contain the
most modern equipment and have a
capacity of 10000, 900 gallons of water
daily. The cost has not been deter
mined, but Mr.. Morse said today that 1t
cost of 10000, gallon plant, which
runs between $500, 600 and 100000.
At present the commission is using
two plants which, when installed, were
intended for temporary use only. The
one here, with a capacity of 1000, 900
gallons per day, was built six or seven
years ago, Mr.. Morse said, and was for
the purpose of taking care of an emer-
gency then existing. It has been con-
tinued in operation since and has func-
toned satisfactorily, but would be dis
continued with the construction Of a
new and larger plant.
Hyattsville Plant Temporary.
The other plant is located at Hyatts-
vile and has a capacity of 100000
gallons daily. Ten years, ago when it
was installed it was built as a tempo
rary measure until larger and better
filtration works could be built. Mr..
Morse said 1t has functioned so salts
factorily that 1t will be continued in
operation, being used as an auxiliary to
the proposed plant at Burnt Mills.
The chief engineer explained that
sufficient water for the new plant to be
operated at capacity can be gotten from
the Northwest Branch at most seasons
of the year, since the average stream
flow is between 10000, 900 and 100000
gallons daily, In times of drouth, how
ever, as at present, when the stream
flow is but 1000, 900 gallons, the branch
will not furnish the 100000 gallons
the plant would be capable of filtering
and purifying each day. With this in
mind, Mr.. Morse declared, the commits
sion is casting about for an additional
source of water to be used in emer-
gencies. 1t has several streams in mind,
It was stated, but no definite decision
has been made.
Days Supply Available.
Meanwhile the present state of the
water supply in the metropolitan areas
of Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties remains unchanged. There is
between 100000 and 100000 gallons
of water in the overwhelmingly more
than q days average consumption-and
this can be increased materially, ac-
cording to commission officials, only by
heavy rains on the watershed
The commission is taking slightly less
than a million gallons a day from the

ticed this) was a runner all of three
inches long down the back of one Of
her precious silk hose.
Celia turned a corner, pausing be-
meath an awning to wipe trickling
beads Of Precipitation from her neck.
"Whewl" she sighed, and seemed
to find relief in the sigh.
In the window before her we're
pasted half a dozen stickers: Try
Our Special Sundae," Cool of
With Glover Club" Fresh Fruit
Freeze" and others. Through the
door an electric breeze came, blow
ing Celia's skirt back.
Girls in pretty pastel dresses stood
inside, laughing with young man
clad in white
Celia knew the young man. Her
small chin lifted and her shoulders
Strengthened. She walked away
rapidly. The girls brown eyes, which
we're nearly as large, nearly as
deeply expressive as Margaret Rog-
ers' own, betrayed the effort at de-
termination.
Margaret Rogers was Celia's
mother. To Margaret her daugh-
ter's fresh loneliness was beauty Of
the rarest order. This was an ex-
aggeration, of course. The mothers
eyes, tired by hours and hours Of
sewing, saw the piquant nose and
well-molded chin, the softly curved
figure and the girls slim grace and
saw them all through the eyes of
love. She thought her daughter
beautiful.
There we're others, though, who
would have agreed readily that Ce-
LA Rogers, away from the brOlllng
sidewalks, was attractive enough to
be singled out in almost any gather
ing.
1t was Celia's pretty face which
had led Helen Spencer to treat her
as confdante, though the two
never met except in clasSrooms. For
tyo years Spencer" had followed
directly after Rogers" on high
school class rolls, and an odd sort
of intimacy had developed between
the two girls.
Helen's father was member of
the city's most important financial
group. Celia was the daughter of

those few coins remaining in the
girls purse. For long time now
Mrs. Rogers had earned every cent
which had paid for food and lodg-
ing for herself and her daughter.

y Spencer had sat side by side in
French classes and during ordeals Of
mathematics and chemistry, and
though Celia could describe all of
Helen's party dresses and most of
the parties at which they had been
worn, she had not been invited to
the Spencer home. She had not
even expected such an invitation.
Both girls were graduated now
Helen setting off for Europe and
Celia hunting work.
If there was a trace Of bitterness
in the girls face as she hurried
along the hot street, it should
be forgiven. Bitterness comes SO
easily to those for whom the
chance to work is an unobtainable
luxury.
Celia Rogers lunch had been a
glass of milk and sandwich eaten
at a soda fountain counter. The
three little coins in her purse
would have totaled less than the
price of the rich mixture of fruits
and cream which Helen Spencer was

Celia turned again into side

she hesitated before brick office
building, glancing up at the num-
Der over the doorway.
Yes, this was the place. She
entered.
Watkins Letter Company" was
the name Celia hunted for on the
office directory board in the lobby.
She found it. The Watkins Letter
Company was located, according to
the directory, on the fourth floor of
the building.
The girl signaled for the elevator
and a few seconds later stepped into
the fourth floor corridor.

was something tight in her throat
and she felt her temples bounding.
The feeling was familiar. 1t was

ing up courage to step out bodily

would be waiting on the other side
of the threshold and make the

The green goddess second smile
was even more devastating. Seven
teen-year-old Celia departed in
haste. When she was again in the
lobby, which was shadowy, the girl
brushed her hand against srnarting
eyelids. She had to do this a second
time before she felt ready to step
/ into the street.
