From Buggy in FrOstburg

Mrs. Mary kits, 81, who resides on
a farm near Finzel, was thrown from
buggy in which she was riding, last
Saturday at Frostburg, and painfully
injured.
Mrs. kits was accompanied by her

ment culvert at the side of the road.
She was taken to the Miners hospital
where medical attention was given.
She sustained a severe laceration
reaching from above her eyes across

OAKLAND WILL BE GAYLY
DECORATED FOR YULETIDE
Local Rotary Club Sponsoring
Lighting Contest and Official
Lighting Program
CHILDREN TO GET TREAT

In order that the Christmas spirit
may be brought home more closely to
the people of Oakland and vicinity,
the Oakland Rotary Club is sponsor
ing a lighting contest, is again con-
Quoting the Christmas treat for the
children and will officially open the
holiday season here following an ex-
tensive plan of decoration and beau
tifcation.
These activities are being spon-
sored by the organization because it is
felt by Rotary members that an at
tractively decorated city will add to
the feeling of good will and peace that
should pervade especially at this sea-
son Of the year.
Two Prizes Offered
Two prizes of $500 each are availa-
BILE in the Christmas lighting contest,
one for the most attractive business
establishment and one for the best
decorated home. Each contestant is
asked to use his own judgment as to
what should constitute an att actively
decorated place.
The homes and business / ices are
to be lighted throughout tn Christ
mas season, beginning on the evening
of December IA, and continue until
New Years.
Members of the West Penn Public
Service Company will be glad to offer
suggestions in making homes or bust
ness places attractive for Christmas,
according to H. L. Mcmillan, local
manager.
To Open Season Officially
The holiday season will be officially
opened with lighting program to be
held around the Community Christmas
tree, corner of Second and Liberty
streets, on Friday evening, December
IA, at 1880 o'clock.
A band concert will be one of the
evenings features, to be rendered by
the Gilbert Brown band. Caroling, by
combined church choirs of the town,
in charge of and directed by Mrs. Iva
lee Newell Holden, and short adj
dress by Mayor Grover c. Stemple,
will be other features. Mr.. Stemple
will also officially light the Community
tree, thus opening the season.
The Rotary Club is requesting that
all Christmas trees lining the streets
of the business section be in position
and lighted at that time. The club
Christmas trees are contri buted by
the business men and have been illum-
mated in years past each evening dur
ing the Christmas season.
Oakland Fire Department men,
bers will again furnish the commun-
ity tree and will also wrap the 1900
feet of electric wire with evergreen
and assist in decorating the streets
with the many STRAINS of colored lights
thus carrying out the design of j. w.
Jackson.
Annual Treat For Children
The annual treat for the children of
the community will be made from be-
meath the community tree on Monday
afternoon, December "a, at 2 o'clock.
Santa Claus will be conducted to the
tree by the local band, after which he
will give each boy and girl IL years
old or under, package of candy and
an orange. Last year more than 1000
children received like treat.
Stores will be open during the ev-
enings from December IA until Christ
mas to accommodate the expected hol-
iday trade.

misfortune to lose one of my legs.
I now wear an artificial leg and
to tell the truth you hardly can
tell it is made of wood.
I get a date with some fellow,
and as soon as he finds out that
I have only one leg, well, I get the
air. 1 have looks, clothes and
am not ashamed to go in any COM
pany. Why is it, can you tell me?
ONE-LEGGED GIRL.
AnSwer-The average young man
lays great stress on physical per-
fection, but the above-averag young
man takes account of other values,
too. The thing for you to do is to
prove that you are above average.
Then you will attract one of these
kindred spirits.
People who have been crippled
often make marvellous compensa-
tions for their physical defeat. Wit
ness the case of our own President,
who is crippled. Your loss of a
limb will shut you out of some ac-
tivities which you formerly enjoyed,
but it will open other avenues OF
achievement. 1t will deprive you
of the friendship of some boys, tC
be sure, but it will win you other
friendships which you otherwise
might not save.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am IS and
have been going steady with
boy of 20 for two years. He is
jealous natured, but has been the
ideal boy friend. Now the gos-
sip has started that 1 am in trou-
BILE. OF course, it is a lie, but
how many will believe that it is
true? Will it gradually die down,
or will people continue to point
accusations at us?
Would it be better for us to go
with others OCCASIONALLY or would
that stimulate town talk? We
both have good nanonS and it
hurts to have such things told.
TOWN TALKED BETTY.
Richard lie Gallienne
says that gossip is the social reward
of personality. 1t doesn't prove that
you are either black or white, but
merely interesting. Time is bound
to prove to your friends that they
have made a mistake. They are
expecting something to happer
which will not happen. What car
they do except change their minds
1t is possible that you are over
estimating the extent of the gossip
about you. If your skirts are az
clear as you say they are, why worry
about it? 1t ought to amuse you tt
prove the goSsiperS wrong. I shoulc
not change my way of living tt
/ please such fair weather friends, no
go out of my way to divert theil
suspicious. Why bother when ma
ture herself will exonerate you?
Note-I am holding several letters fo
Disguised Seventeen and will send them t.

dream still secretly cherished by the
grown woman.
1 suppose that the majority of
women are inclined to cling to some
such romantic dream of love. Jung,
the Zurich psychologist, has named
this nebulouS idea, The GhosIy
Lover" In his opinion. so long as a
woman is held by phantasy of the
perfect lover, she is incapable of
falling in love with flesh and blood
man. for no man can compete with
dream.
The dream arises from infantile
wishes and desires impossible OF
realization. Its influence is perni-
cious because it spoils reality for the
dreamer. Just as some keenly an
ticipated event falls short of our eX-
pectationS because We dreamed of it
too long and too ardently before
hand, so the husband is unable to
fulfill the rosy requirements Of his
wifeS dream lover.
A diSembodied voice over the air,
singing songs of love, suggests to me
this ghoStly lover. The frictionS and
failures of everyday life are in no
way associated with him. He is the
fairy prince, the knight who comes
riding, the serenading troubadour
who never existed and never will
exist.
Your wife needs to awaken from
this state of intoxication and devote
her energies to the solution of her
more prosaic everyday problems. but
I doubt if you can do much with her.
The opinion of a friendly outsider
whose judgment she trusts will carry
more weight than yours.
Perhaps it will lessen your jeal-
ousy and unhappneSS when you
understand that the man is not your
rival so much as the dream. If you
take no notice of her conduct. and
attribute no importance to her OBJ
session, it may be that it will wear
itself out in time. Irritation on your
part will only feed the flame.
Dear Jane .Jordan-Why is it
that the boys look down on a
cripple girl as though she were
not human. Four years ago I
won third place in a beauty con-
test, but, since then I had the
