MONTGOMERY
Ml SIDELICHTS
By E. W. H.

We visited in Takoma Park re-
Gently, that lovely scattered town,
rarity in the District of Columbia,
artly in Montgomery and Prince
orge's counties.
Takoma, from an Indian word
meaning "high up" or "near
Heaven" is one of the prettiest Of
the Washington suburban towns
the city fathers have preserved the
natural beauty of the Park = its
homes nestle in the green dells and
against the hillsides.
Even the names of the streets
are in keeping Park Valley
road, Valley View avenue, Live
Oak drive, Tulip avenue, Flower,
Chestnut, Laurel, Willow, Hickory
- are a few of them.
The most remarkable thing about
Takoma Park is the amazing
growth of the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists who came there several
decades ago, and it is surprising
how their activities are spreading
through the county, they now have
RELIGIOUS services at Mt. Lebanon,
near Damascus, in a church that
aad been closed for years, and also
in Gaithersburg.
They have their own wood work.

work in unexpected places - we
admired the tables in an attractive
tea room near Sandy Spring, and
were told that they had been made
oy the students at the Washington
Missionary College - DR.. Wilkin-

our popular States Attorney,

They also have q printing plant

afternoons Sunday to them) -
just as we lie down for a nap after
scrubbing she kitchen floor = and
handed in to us so smilingly that
we find ourselves thanking them in
our very best manner.
Their hospital is nationally
known, their methods of treatment
most up to date = and we read
that they are laying the foundation
for a medical and first aid reserve
that may some day be part of
our Army - and they do not be-
lieve in war, they were classified
as conscientious objectors during
the World War, but the care OF
the sick and injured is a part OF
their church program.
Another time we want to tell
you about the Bliss Electrical

credited by the best authorities
to Herr Stephan, who thought
of the idea when he was postmaster
general of Prussia At conference
held in karlsruhe in 1865 he outlined
his plan for postal-card mail His sug-
gestion, unfortunately, met with scant
consideration.
However, the idea was submitted by
aforesghted Viennese, a Dr. Herman,
to the Austrian postal system in 1869
and was Immediately accepted. The
postal card enjoyed instantaneous sue
cess, for within the first three months
following its issuance about 5000, 600
were used in Austria Germany then
Incorporated the postal card in its mail
service.
In 1870 England adopted the idea
and on the first day that postal cards
became available approximately
100000 of them taxed the London
Post Office facilities.
They were first used in the United
States on May |, 1873. Their instant
popularity is attested by the fact that
about $4,000, 600 of them were sold
in the course of the year following
