CITY PROJECTS ARE
NOW PROGRESSING
Work OF Demolishine
In Few Days; Park
Improvements

Various city projects are now in
progress and others are schedug ed
for the near future.
Work on the omfort stations at
the City Park is progressing, the
foundation being up for one of
them. These are located at the
entrance to the park on Summit
avenue, one on each side of the
entrance. In excavating, workmen
unearthed three old license tags
of 1912, 1913 and 1914, respective
ly. They are all in good state of
preservation. Work on the
stations was begun on Nov. Is
and must be finished, according
to contract, in 120 days.
Progress is also being made on
the work at Memorial Boulevard
and it will not be more than a
very few days until the bricks
will begin to fly, figurately speak
ing, on the old town hall, to make
way for the new, modern struct-
ure to take it's place Work tear
ing down the old city hall has
technically commenced, as some
bricks in the wall have been dis
placed, but won't be long until
you will be able to see visible
signs Of the disappearance of the
old structure

XMAS BUSINESS IS
AHEAD OF LAST YER
Local Stores Are Very
Busy; Seven Trade
Days Remaining

A tentative survey of the Christ
mas trade this year shows that
business. this year is ahead of
the corresponding period of last
year.
All stores handling goods suit
able for the Christmas season
have been practically crowded, not
only through the day but also
during the evenings, when the
stores are keeping open until $50.
One store handling women's wear
unable at one particular time. to
wait upon the trade coming, al
though the Management had sup
piled himself with a fine corps of
capable clerks. This is generally
time Merchants of Hagerstown
have done their best to put in
stock of goods to meet the demand
of the buying public and it is safe
to say that there is no need for
any one to go elsewhere to do
their Christmas shopping.
Seven buying days, only, remain
until Christmas and it is expected
that the stores will be buiser than
ever during this period because
there are always those who put
off buying until the last minute.
but besides these, there are those
who cannot find it convenient to
shop earlier.

Town Hall
And surely all must know,
That such things always happen
To a town that's sure to grow.
Men must keep up with progress,
The Old gives way to New,
But not without much sadness
For landmarks are SO few.
Old friends depart; old customs
pass,
The scenes of yesterday
No longer greet our eyes, alas,
Time will not let them stay.
And yet, from out the shadows,
A voice restraints my tears,
Weep not for old foundations,
But build for future years."

Manager Comiskey, head man
in this flicker house, has some
thing there. Whether he knows
it or not, he is educating the
customers, including myself,
even though use Anne Oak

The author of that famous
poem, "Only God Can Make
Tree" probably never visited
Hagerstown. For several years
past the City Daddies have been
constructing man-made Christ
mas trees in the Public Square
and only close observers can
distinguish the difference. But
there's just one thing that con-
fuses me with the 1888 model
never before saw a freeman
made or otherWise-with wart
on top of it! All, well, maybe
it's sprouting.
Members of the G. o. P. State
Central Committee are disgust
ed no end with Guv. Harry, Pm
told, and all because he amt
pIayin' ball with 'em in the mat
ter of appointments. Well, boys,
maybe he just can't forget that
heap of votes his primary op-
ponent rolled up in Washington
County. But cheer up, me hearty
lads - Guv. Harry will soon be
out and in few moons he'll
be touring the sticks maxim
love to you again. After all,
somebody has gotta be a leader!
Judging from the number of
applications received by men,
bers of the Democratic State
Central Committee, the Victory
Boys will have plenty of work
to do during the coming months.
Everybody it seems, wants to
be remembered. My heart goes
out to those boys who are TO
make the recommendations The
latest info from the feed-box is
that all those making applica-
tons will be checked and dou-
bic checked first to see, by
the poll books, If they voted in
the general election, and also
If they went down the line".
OF course it's none of my
business, but it seems 70 me
that the Mayor and Council are
taking a long risk with the or
lginal Little HeiskeII and those
priceless photographs of the City
Fathers of many, many, years
ago. And so, in order to play
safe with these antiques, the
suggestion, | think, to store 'em
away in fire-proof building
until the new City Hall is com
pieted, is in order. After all,
these valuable antiques serve
no useful purpose reposing in
temporary building. Remember
mat old adage: can ounce Of
prevention is worth pound Of
cure?"

MYTH Winter almost over,

WITH Winter almost over,
w March Billiards to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, you find
yourself cycling the fashion sheets
a little more than casually. In
deed you probably already have
your needle threaded, just waiting
for some nice Spring patterns to
make your acquaintance. And
here they are, three quick tricks,
each pleasantly awaiting your
choice, each designed to make
some wardrobe happy. Which do
you prefer?
Fitted Bodice.
Look your Sunday best in this
graceful afternoon frock with it's
snug and softly shirred waistline.
The skirt flares Slightly to the
front and emphasizes the slimness
of the silhouette. Note the saddle
shoulder and short, pulled sleeves
"details that are unusually be-
coming and make for distinction.
One of the new widely spaced flow
er patterns in rayon or silk will
make your informal afternoons
and evening a double delight, and
the pattern is a particular joy to
work with. So simple, and so
pleasing.
Trim Morning Frock.
Don't be caught around the
house without your best foot for
ward. You needn't be, with this
crisp and flattering morning frock
at your beck and call. Simple
as pie, yet charming fresh and
youthful, this model dispenses
with all fussy details yet achieves
an appearance which will. see you
through the busiest day. The skirt
flares a bit from a neatly fitted
waistline, and the ric-rac trim,
in contrast, adds a note of bright
ness. Just nine pieces including
the belt and pockets. Try dot
ted swiss or a printed percale.
For the Full Figure.
This charming frock is really
more than a house frock-you'll
find it fattering enough and
dressy enough to wear through
out the day. The slim, straight
lines make every provision for
comfort. The skirt has a kick
pleat at front, the sleeves are full
and pleated, and the neck line
is just right to be very fattering.
Furthermore you can make this
dress, of a rayon print or gay

The Island of Bali
You'll Find Like That

If you travel to the island of

find:
That the children wear nothing
but sun hats.
That women carry loads on
their heads, men on their Shout

on their shoulders.
That water bu~ffaloes, ready at
all times to attack a tiger, will
stand rough handling by a Bali

That some people have finger
nails four inches long to show that
they do not have to work.
That boats have eyes, so as to
see at night.
