BROKE R. R. SWITCH
Engine OF Train Left Tracks When
1t Ran Into Open Switch

Daniel Harris, Oscar Harmon and
Theodore Perry, aged Is, IS and IL,
respectively, were arrested by Miles
Fitzgerald, of Delmar, a member of
the Pennsylvania Railroad police
force, charged with taking an axe
and breaking a switch at Clendan-

done. The three boys were taken to
Georgetown and given a hearing
before Magistrate William J. Mus

February term of Court of General
Sessions. They were released, bond

With this issue of our paper we
are beginning a new year, with
probably new interests, new
thoughts, new resolutions. AS we
looked up the definition for the
word new" the one that particu-
larly fitted was the one fresh from
anything" Think about that for a
minute! The synonyms for the New
Year are usually "a new book, a
new page, a clean slate" The best
wish one could express would be
that they might have new page
with no cares, no sorrows, no dis
appointments written thereon. But,
of course, it is too much to expect
that each day will be rosy. We like
ly would tire of the monotOny of
1 that, so let each one live the best
he can and 1881 cannot help but be
a better one than the one just clos
ed.

The Christmas dance this year de-
serves special mention, for it was
a lovely affair. Guests from out of
town and visitors of the townsfolks
were there and helped to make the
dance an enjoyable one. The yOW1g
set was well represented and they
had a good time, for, for some of
them it was their first appearance.
One could not help but compare the |
difference in the length of dresses |
last year to the ones this year. While |
the short skirt affords ease in dan |
cling, the long skirt is very grace |
full looking and of pleasing appear
ance. Many hues made the setting
a colorful one, and the thing that
counted was that everyone had a
good time.

Here is the vitamin list again. We need to be reminded of them every once in a while, especially now in the spring.
 "A" Is contained in cod-liver oil. butter and eggs. Also in sunlight. This latter is unofficial but too true and too important to miss:
 "B" is found in cereals and veg etables. It prevents beri-beri, a certain type of paralysis and numb- ness, that causes difficulty in breath ing. We know little about it in our generous climate where variety of food is possible, but in the Far East where rice and starchy foods are the chief source of food, 1t is conn., mon and terrible. Beri-beri is a fatal disease.
 'C" we get in our citrous fruits. IL is very important. Oranges, lem ons, grapefruit and Times contain it. Vitamin "C' prevents certain skin diseases, such as scurvy, and has other therapeutic value. Asked if grapefruit juice was good for little is, an authority on children's foods. He answered that some had an "idiosyncrasy" or inhibition against it. Others could take it very well.

 ID" for Bone Substance Vitamin "D' is contained in cod liver oil and fish. It makes bone prevents rickets, and we have dis. covered it to be so necessary that we give the oil to babies now fr small quantities at six weeks.
 "E' is the important vitamin found in wheat. It is of universal necessity and also prevents steril- ity.
 IF" we go to the butcher shop and green grocer to get. Liver has 1t in great amounts, so does lettuce. One of its virtues is the prevention of stunted growth. If your boy wants to be big like his dad, or strong like

NANCY PAGE Leftover Ham May Be As Good as New
 
By Florence "a canke.

Peter was quite disguested with his young son. There was not q trace of fear in his own makeup and here he had a son who cried when he was hurt and when he wasn't, cried when he was put to bed in the dark, cried when the lightning flashed He made fun of his son. scolded him roundly, tried to shame him. But he got just nowhere at all with him.
 Nancy took her problem to the class in parent education. "The chances are, Mrs Page, that your son is a highly nervous child. Scolding will do him no good, nor will shaming him. These methods just make him more conscious of his fear. Why not try making the things which he fears just common place ?" What do you mean ?'
 Well, I'd try talking about the dark as if 1t were a kindly thing. Something friendly which tucks up tired folks, and keeps them snug and safe. Don't tell him stories with weird happenings in the dark. don't carry on grown-up converse tions in front of him regarding mid night marauders.
 And when it storms take him with you to the window and let him see which one of you can see the jagged streak of lightning first. Make it la game. Hide any tremors you may feel and if you fear it yourself, for goodness sake, do not let your fear show in your voice. Look up pie lures of lightning. Have him see the beauty of that penetrating flame of light.

| There was no relenting warmth in Ellen Wallace's blue eyes. What she would have said next is uncer- tain because at that moment there |'came flying into the room a joy ously barking bouncing bundle of black and white dog fur. It 1eaped up against Jim Wallace, fell back and leaped again. The sharp, short yelps were ecstatic.
 Instantly Jim wac down on his knees. Well. Pat old boy" he grinned. "are you glad to see me?
 The fox terrier barked an answer that was unquestionable. He tried to lick the young mans face. . Wallace beamed like a ten-year- old. That's the boy, Pat" he ex- claimed, roughing the terrier'sy ears the wrong way. He pushed the dog away from him. It was a game Pat had evidently played often.
 "Oh!" Gypsy cried. He's dar- ling. Why didn't you tell me you had dog? Will he let me touch him ?" s
 Wallace was on his feet now. "Of course. Won't you. Pat? Look. who's here!'' He pointed toward Gypsy. "she's going to live here now. You're to take good care of
 The terriers bit of tail was wag- ging furiously. Coming closer to Gypsy the dog paused, looking up at her. The bright, sober eyes stared into the girls and the black ears curved knowingly.
 Gypsy said, "I believe he under stands every word you say"
 "Sure! He understands every thing. I've had Pat since he was two months old. Getting along now. He's almost nine."
 The terrier had come closer. Gypsy knelt to stroke his head and Pat licked her hand.
 You're going to be friends" Jim announced. That settles it. Pats adopted you."
 Gypsy put both arms around the dog. His coat was soft and warm and his little body wiggled amiably. q like you, Pat" she said in a low voice. "I like you lots.'
 Miss Wallace's voice broke in inn patiently. "Send the dog out to the kitchen, won't you, Jim? We have things a good deal more important to discuss now than that animal
 Gypsy's smile faded as she arose There was a note in the other woman's voice that was ominous. Instinctively Gypsy moved toward Jim.
 He signaled to Pat, and the dog with a lingering backward glance or two, trotted from the room. "Just what did you want to dis cuss?" Wallace asked. There was resentment in his. voice. Personally I'd like to get cleaned up and go into discussion with juicy piece of beef steak. We've had a long trip Aunt Ellen. Don't you think there'll be better time"
 There's no reason to put off what I want to know - unless you're ashamed to tell me-" his aunt in sisted crisply. Whats this young woman's name? Who is she? You haven't told me anything about her yet" Gypsy knew Jim was embar- rassed and that he was trying to hide it.
 "That's so," he said, Guess T. did forget. Aunt Ellen, this is Gypsy Until this morning she was Gyps, McBride."
 "Gypsy? Is that what you said
 "That's what I said. Gypsy Nc Bride. You've heard me speak ol Phil Trowbridge. Gypsy and Phil's wife are cousins. It was at theii house we met"
 "It's a heathen name!" Filler Wallace spoke as though the very words were contaminating." And what about Marcia, I'd like to know"

WILLIAM HAYNES IN "A TAILOR
 M A D E MAN." METRO HIT. OPENING AT WARNER BROS
 STATE IyIEATER TOAGOR n lOYX

OfEN1NG All WARNER BROS
 STATE THEATER TOMORROW
 Women and business are both elusive.
 Which axiom is responsible for a deal of comedy, few heart throbs, and some very tense drama in the unfolding of the plot of "A Tailor Made Man," William Haines' new Metro o-Goldwyn-Mayer starring pie ture opening tomorrow at the War ner Bros State theater.
 It's g. story of modern business. Haines becomes high pressure business executive, applies a remedy to business depression which works and teaches that great lesson of Americanism--it isn't where a man started that counts, but where he gets.
 Incidentally, the remedy for busi- ness depression in the picture is a sound one. Business please take notice.
 Haines presents new side-for amid his comedy antics are some spots where he gives his audiences a taste of convincing dramatic acting. Sam Wood, who directed the picture, handled the story with a delft artis- try that brought out it's drama with out sacrificing it's lighter moments.
 The cast Is elaborate. Dorothy Jordon, the romantic, heroine in Min and Bill," is Haines' sweet heart--a demure little daughter of an old German tailor. And Joseph Cawthorn, long as stage favorite, with quaint broken English and comic mannerisms, presents a very accurate character portrayal as the father. Majorie Rambeau appears as a stately society leader, and He'd da Hopper as another. Hale Hamil- ton as the social climbers husband, Walter Walker as the merchant prince. and William Austin, with his peculiar brand of English comedy, are other bright spots in the big cast.

Well. Gypsy he said gaily. turning toward the girl, we're fome!" Before he could reach the door 1t swung open. The figure of tall. slim, midd1e-aged woman was silhouetted against the light.
 "Jim!" she cried. "Oh. Jim-I'm so glad
 Laughing he put his arms around her. kissed her cheek. We're glad to be here too." Wallace said. but weren't you surprised? Here she is, Aunt Ellen. Gypsy. this is my aunt"
 The girl stepped from the shad- ows. She was smiling, half-tfmidly. Gypsy put out one hand. How do you do," she said. q hope you're going to like me-"
 "But-why Jim!"
 The exclamation was hysterical. Gypsy stepped back.
 "Jimi" Ellen Wallace cried. "who Is this woman ?"
 This is my wife, Aunt Ellen. thought you were expecting us. Didn't you get my wire? sent it before we left New York" Wallace turned toward the girl. Come in, Gypsy" he said. Tt seems they didn't know we were coming" He pushed her before him into the house. Gypsy could feel the older woman's eyes riveted on her.
 Your wife?" Ellen Wallace re- peated, Jim. you don't mean that. You can't. Why, yes the telegram of her dress. "Look-here 1t is. It says arrive with bride'." Once more her peering eyes studied Gypsy. 1T thought--'' the woman went on. sI thought of course it was Marcia--!"
 She looked as though she might faint. Gypsy. terrified, waited for Wallace to speak.
 All that he did was to. turn and close the door. When he spoke again his voice was duiet. T see how the misunderstand- ing happened,e he said. Sorry, Marcia---well. we can talk about her later. Don't you think, Aunt Ellen. you might give my wife more cordial welcome?"
 Miss Wallace seemed to stiffen. She had gray hair and the same bright blue eyes as Jim. Her hair was drawn back and pinned in a high knot on top of her head in a style popular in the nineties. She wore a dress of stiff gray silk with white lace at the throat. Suddenly the woman raised a handkerchief to her eyes.
 ''I can't believe it. she sobbed brokenly. T can't believe it!'' It was a trying moment. Wallace moved toward his aunt, stopped and turned to Gypsy.
 Here. let me take your coat" !" he said. Mustn't keep you standing. Come on in here-' The girl interrupted. Never mind about me-" she said. You'd better do something for your aunt"
 Miss Wallace apparently was making an effort to meet the situ- ation. She stuffed the handkerchief into her pocket and came toward
 "How do you do." she said. 'I can't pretend I'm glad to see you. Pve never in my fife had such a shock. It was bad enough or Jim to get married away from home and not let anyone know about it. Jim's like my own son, I've taken care Of him for SO long. I--well. now that it's happened hope you1l make him a good wifeI" Gypsy offered her hand and Miss Wallace took it.
