Pennsylvania and Delaware Avenues, TOWSON, MARYLAND HUDSON Phone Towson 475 ESSEX IBS He found them safe and sound, but holding the same fear for him that had burned to the water's edge terrifying night. Together they told the story of a fire at sea,, a frantic leap to the water and a night-long struggle to shore and safety. It was a story of a gasoline launch that ha adburned to the water's edge off Bay Shore; of flames that had mystified shore observers and seamen who spotted it from their vessels: of a dark night's battle with the deep and little hope of rescue. But withal, a story of a winning fight against death and a thrilling chapter in the tales of the Chesapeake. Vain efforts were made to signal passing vessels by blowing the launches whistle before the flames had enveloped her completely. After that there were other efforts, also vain, to hail ships that might give aid. Seamen who were interviewed at the end of their voyages said they neither heard nor saw any signals of distress. A few had seen the fire, but believed it to have been on the shore. Together they left Baltimore last Saturday afternoon on the launch Margaret—Herman C. Lacer, 5 3 years old, 18 26 Belt street; his son, Earl Lacer, 19 years old; Georga Gallion, 18 years, old, 1816 Jackson street, and Grimm, who lives at 18 06 Wilkins avenue. They planned a fishing and swimming trip over the week-end and had just reached a point off Bay Shore. Then came an explosion and the fire. Then the leap into the water. The explosion was that of the gasoline tank, though to have been ignited by a back-fire from the engine which had not been running smoothly. In five minutes, the men said, the boat was a mass, of flames. Grimm, Gallion and Earl Lacer jumped first. The first two had donned life preservers before leaving the burning craft and the elder Lacer threw one to his son. He remained aboard long enough to sound the boat's whistle in an effort to attract the attention of vessels that might be passing. Failing, he, too, put on a preserver and plunged into the water.

Sudbrook Park, Pikesville and Ralston, principals in a friendly controversy in the western section of the county have hit upon what appears to be a solution of the vexing question— Is Sudbrook Park a part of Pikesville? The answer has been inspired by a Sudbrook Park man who has a bungalow for sale. His "ad" has it that— Sudbrook Park is in the Pikesville section! That's right, said a man from Ralston. Correct, said a Sudbrook Parker. Sure thing, said a Pikes-villian. Harmony couldn't be stronger. Proposal of a merger that originated at Pikesville precipitated the question as to the territorial extent of the community. Ralston and Pikesville formed one improvement association, but Sudbrook Park showed no intention of joining. The Pikesville association extended no formal invitation, but members fully authorized said they approached Sudbrook ParKers on the subject. They reported back at the last meeting that the suggestion "met with a cold shoulder." Friendly feelings toward all—entangling alliances with none, seems to be the Sudbrook Park attitude. "The Sudbrook association is a long-established body," said a member. It has been in existence 18 years, the life-time of three or mora associations at Pikesville." "Then Sudbrook is in better position to serve as mother to Pikesville than Pikesville as mother to Sudbrook?" he was asked. "Let's forget about being mother to each other," he suggested. "We want to be just friends with all." POLICEMAN SUES DOCTOR FOR $15,000 DAMAGES. Claiming to have been injured while in the performance of his duties Patrolman Chester M.
