The thin middle-aged woman stood

''It's about this ten percent

By the Old Lamp Lighter

One who knows much about the
early history of Hagerstown, es-
pecially in the recollection of
many readers of today, is Judge
Edward Heard. And even having
passed the so mark by several
years his recollection is keen and
it is pleasure for him to converse
about old times. Judge Heard
comes from family who fo"
number of years back was con-
nected with the early business of
this city. Judge Heard was born
and lived in the house which
stood in the southwest side of the
Public Square. The house and
millinery store was located here,
the entrance to the house being
where the Martha Washington
Candy store is now located. Orig
inally the property was owned by
a Mr.. Swartzfelter. He was un-
married and there are none of the
family connection left here to per-
petuate his memory. He was one
of the early business men locating
in Hagerstown. The parents of
Judge Heard for many years con-
Quoted a millinery store on this
site and then moved to the site
of the Elks Club on South Potomac
street. Many hat adorned the
head of milady in Hagerstown and
Washington County in years past.
Country people coming to Hagers-
town naturally went to the Heard
store for hats and various kinds of
finery. The Heard millinery store
was widely and favorably known.

hurst and the curiosity seekers
had carried away nearly every
thing movable, leaving engines and
some of the instruments as sal
wage from the wreck which shocked
the country. The log of the dirig-
lble was stolen. A special board
composed of secret service mi!.
tary and naval authorities conven-
ed at Ava, Ohio, near the dirigible's
graveyard, to inspect what was
left of the wreckage and to deter
mine, if possible, just what it was
that caused the supposedly disas-
ter-proof airship to break and
crumble like toy balloon, strew-
ing its dead over two counties of
the State Of Ohio. There were
three distinct lines to be followed
in the investigation, viz: That her
mid-ship cabin caught on a tree;
that lightning bolt struck the
ship, and also that violent cross
currents caught the ship and broke
her to pieces as man would break
stick across his knee. Comment
ing, Senator Duncan U. Fletcher,
Of Florida, ranking Democratic
member of the Senate military af-
fairs committee, said: at is too
costly both in dollars and lives for
the United States Government to

thing of his health or where
abouts, but i'm the first card she
got, pvt Hallendy stated that he
was in good health and Splr-
it's and told his mother not to
worry about him.
A second communication sent
by her son two weeks later told
Mrs. Dodge that he was work
ing in the japanese prison camp

or $40 month. She didn't
know what type of work he was
doing In this second card, he
also added, Say hello to all
