She was found by her father, L Adams, Philadelphia leather merchant, in the offices of the New York American, Columbus Circle, New York, where she had been employed as an advertising solicitor since the day after her disappearance. Miss Adams last was seen by relatives March 26 when Mrs. Shaw, at whose Green Spring Valley home she had spent a month, put her aboard a Iriin at Union Station bound from Bail)more for Philadelphia. Since that time a nation-wide search has been conducted for her. Her trunk was located at "one of the Philadelphia stations of the Pennsylvania Railroad and railroad detectives established that the parlor-car chair she had engaged was occupied as far as Philadelphia., but was unoccupied between Philadelphia and New York. Miss Adams, whose parents be-lie-ve she is the victim of amnesia, did not recognize her father when he confronted her in the New York newspaper office. She accompanied him to his Philadelphia home, however, without protest. 'In New York she has been living as Miss Jane Johnson. She said she remembered a railroad trip, although the names of Mr. and Mrs. Shaw meant nothing to her. On the railroad trip, she said, she remembered striking her head on the metal vestibule of one of the' cars when the train lurched as she attempted to pass from one coach to another. Miss Adams also said she must have fainted, for she remembers a porter reviving her with water. She gave the man a quarter, she said. The next thing she remembers was crossing the Delaware river on a ferry boat and boardin/; a Philadelphia train for New York. Despite the efforts of railroad detectives and the police of the entire country, no trace of Miss Adams had been found until last Sunday. Scores of "tips" had been received and followed, only to prove worthless. The 18-year-old girl seemed to have vanished completely. L\WN FETE AND PICNIC TODAY.

The Automotive Service Company As distributors in this territory for the Service Motors, Inc., Wabash, Ind., manufacturers of Service Trucks. Service Trucks are designed with a thorough understanding of truck-operating conditions. They are built to do the work you will require of them with the minimum of attention or care. They are designed for continuous service under the most exacting conditions. All the valuable features of truck design that our twelve years of specialization in truck-building have developed are embodied in the Service Trucks of today. Experimental construction is rigidly excluded until it is unquestionably perfected and proved. Service Trucks, while not the highest priced trucks made, are not sold at a low price. If they were, they could not be good, but they are positively the lowest price and cheapest truck in the end, by reason of their long life, comparatively light upkeep expense and reasonable price on repair parts, and their ability to give the greatest ton mileage for the least cost. MODELS: 1%-Ton, iy2-Ton, 2-Ton, 3-Ton, 4-Ton, 5-Ton. ^ The Automotive Service Company Distributors CENTRE STREET AT FALLSWAY American farmers will rceeive this year a half billion dollars more than last year for their wheat, said C. R. Titlow, of Towson, president of the Federal Land Bank of Baltimore, in ar_ address at the annual Farmers' Day at the University of Delaware, in Newark. Similar increases in revenue will come to farmers from cotton and other staples, he added. With better times ahead, Mr. Tit-low cautioned against immediate expenditure of the farmers' new income. Losses of the last two or three years must be taken into account, he said. But he found a hopeful sign in the increased buying power of the farmers' dollar, which, he said, after fluctuating between 50 and 70 cents for several years, has reached a new level at 79 cents in June. He urged co-operation in the production and marketing of crops. ---------o--------- COUNTY HAS SAME DIFFICULTY AS CITY WITH „SgXPLIOATION OF HIGHWAY NAMES. Miss Olive Shaffer was sitting at a window of her Reisterstown home. A truck drew up and stopped in front of the accessory store of Charles C. Whitney next door. Two negroes and a white man alighted. They started to pry open the door. Seizing a pistol, Miss Shaffer fired three shots at the men. They jumped into the truck and sped away. D. F. McCoy, who lives near by, also had seen the men at the store door, and when the truck started off he too, opened fire. When the truck got out of range Miss Schaffer telephoned Pikesville police. They shortly afterward arrested three men they found riding in a truck a few miles outside of Reisterstown. The men gave their names as Jesse Green, colored, 1105 North, Calhoun street; James Johnson, colored, 1114 Mosher street, and Mason Kohn, 1918 North Bentalou street. They were held in $1,000 bail each for grand jury action.

Favorite names are duplicated in various places, causing ^dnfusioin. For instance, there is a Park avenue at Govans and one at Towson. There are several instances where avenues which intersect the York Road have the same names. There is always difficulty in changing the names of avenues to conform to the wishes of a majority of the people interested. Several years ago the name of Bel-lona avenue at Govans was changed to Blenheim avenue. The similarity of the original name to a popular brand of sausage brought about the change. When a young lady received a note from a gentleman admirer designating her home as located on Bellona Sausage Avenue she started an agitation for the change. It was not long before the City Council of Baltimore was petitioned to change the name back to Bellona avenue, and the matter is not yet definitely settled. As the matter stood the part of the avenue in the city was officially named Blenheim, and the part in the county officially retained the original name. ---------o--------- COMMISSIONERS TO TAKE ANNUAL VACATION LAST-OF MONTH.
