5TH TO 11TH. Chicago Was Totally Destroyed In 1871, When Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Kicked Over A JLantern—Measure Is Not Theoretical Or Irealistic, But Intensely Practical. (Continued from Page 1) every pulpit in this county tomorrow (Sunday). Sermons on fire waste are always effective, and serve a valuable purpose in showing that fire should not be considered as an act of God, as was formerly the general belief, but that it is very definitely due to human carelessness. An appropriate text, embodying the elementary principle of justice that the individual should be held re-soble when his acts injure his neighbor is found in Exodus: "If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith, he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution—Exodus XXII: 6." It should be remembered that a clean house seldom burns. Cleanliness is more important than Godliness as far as the prevention of fire is concerned. Rubbish and dirt, especially in cellars, under stairs, in attics and other out-of-the-way places are the worst enemies of the fire preventionist, as well as those interested in sanitary conditions. Besides endangering spontaneous combustion, they furnish ready fuel once a fire is started. NEY FIRES. ESTABLISHED 1868 Lewis H. Bennett & Son, Inc.

(Continued from Page 1) will send in their names and addresses and those wishing their chimneys cleaned, will apply to the Fire Department, it will help solve this problem. The Fire Department would make an investigation as to the character of the chimney cleaner, thus guaranteeing the house owners that no sneak thief was admitted to their homes under this guise—as has often been done here. Chief Priester was very much interested in this chimney fire situation and has handed The Jeffersonian the rules given below, which, if put in use, would do away with most of the fires originating from soot-filled chimneys. 1. At least twice a year burn several small pieces of zinc in your stoves and heaters. The acid fumes from the zinc will dislodge all soot and dirt accumulating from the burning of soft coal and wood. 2. One quarter of a pound of sulphur burned in the same manner will accomplish the same results. 3. A ten cent package of shooting crackers exploded in the chimney will dislodge all dirt and soot, of a couple of blank cartridges shot up the chimney will act in the same manner. A crack in your chimney is a sure sign you are going to move. To see a paper-hanger paper over a flue hole indicates an impending loss. It is worse luck to look in the dark closet with a lighted match than to see a new moon over your left shoulder. When the wind blows it is extremely bad luck to burn rubbish near a building. If you smell gas or gasoline and look for it with a lighted match it is a sure sign you are about to start on a long journey. If you pile rubbish in your cellar it indicates that a great many people are coming to your house. BONSAL'S CHARGES DENIED BY WIFE. Denial of charges of drunkenness at the time of the marriage ceremony and of misconduct before and after to Leigh Bonsai, Jr., was made in an answer filed in the Circuit Court at Towson to annulment pro-ceeings instituted by the groom's father. Judge Frank I. Duncan signed an order requiring Bonsai to pay his wife $25 a week and $500 counsel fees. Bonsai is given until October 13 to show cause why the order should not be executed. • ? ? : 1923 1 Hudson Coach New Paint, Splendid Condition, Bargain Price. | Grant Touring Gone 9000 miles, Orinigal Paint, Snap Price $350.00 k E.

R^ews Attack On Republican Party, Appealing To Voters To Repudiate A Political Regime Unfaithful To Its Trust And Unguided By Strang And Effective Leadership. Succumbs In His 94th Year. (Continued fiom Page 1) the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company at Washington announced that Mr. Davis' address would be broadcasted, the announcer stated that Itzel's Band would render a concert, and when the tune of "Maryland, My Maryland" rang through the hall cheering of several minutes' duration followed. Former Senator John Walter Smith, so well known in Maryland Democratic circles, was the first speaker of the evening, introducing Governor Ritchie, who was the presiding officer. Several times during the Governor's brief talk he was cheered enthusiastically, and when he introduced Mr. Davis the stately old armory fairly rocked with applause. Renewing his attack upon the Republican Party, the Democratic candidate appealed to the American people to repudiate a political regime which he insisted had proved unfaithful to its trust, a regime unguided by strong and effective leadership and one convicted of corrupt administration. Mr. Davis made the fact emphatic that he was a fundamentalist in politics. He declared himself in favor of fullest measures of home rule and personal liberty, contending that the country must once more fight for the preservation of those rights of the people as laid down when the Republic first saw "the light of day." These rights, he informed his great audience, included freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, freedom from search and seizure and trial by jury —rights which should not be surrendered—come what may The greatest outburst of enthusiasm that greeted the speaker came when he carried his audience back to the scenes of 1912 enacted in the same building, and through the turmoil of which emerged Wilson, first as the leader of his party and next as the masterful figure in the protection of the world. John W. Davis was himself a delegate to the Democratic National Convention held in Baltimore city. At that time he was an obscure member of the West Virginia delegation, unheard of, unhonored and unsung outside his own Congressional district—yet 12 years later he was destined to stand upon the same spot where Ollie James declared Woodrow Wilson the nominee of the Democratic party-—and as a Presidential candidate address a gigantic mass meeting. Only once since his campaign begun has Mr. Davis faced more people at one time than taxed the Fifth Regiment Armory to its capacity, and this was at Bunceton, Mo., where more than 40,000 gathered from the four corners of the State to compose the greatest political assemblage ever held west of the Mississippi River. The meeting proved two things— one, that the people of the State of Maryland are solidly behind Governor Ritchie and second, that John W. Davis will be given a handsome majority at the polls in November. NEW TYPE OF STREET CAR NOW IN USE ON OVERLEA LINE. A new type of street car, known as the "articulated two-car train," is now being operated on the Bel-air road (No. 15) line between Overlea and Baltimore street and Garrison lane. The vehicle is the product of a year's study of similar types in other cities and designing by officials of the United Railways. It was completed recently at 'the Carroll Park shops of the company. In constructing the new type the rear platform of a double-truck car was removed. A cylinder with doors cut through, to permit passage from one car to the other, was used to join the two vehicles. The cylinder acts as a hinged joint, to allow passage around curves. The "pay-as-you-pass" system will be used and the conductor will have a seat back of the cylinder, in the second car. Numerous innovations both for safety and comfort have been installed. IIIHEBillIBIliailll{ ¦ FRANK H NEWELL * i B Funeral Director (Successor to J. H. Kraft) PIKESVILLE, MD.

He had a wide knowledge of property lines in the county and knew the route of the old Indian trails. Mr. O'Dell is survived by a widow, one son, George E. O'Dell, and one daughter, Mrs. Edwin Lynch, and one grandchild. If the fulfillment of duty, with fidelity, sweetness and charity towards fellow men are the true elements of a successful life, then Mr. O'Dell met the test in an unusual degree. On the wall of his home hangs a printed motto, which reads: "A friend is one who knows you well, and still loves you." He practiced this doctrine. If he found it necessary to tell the faults of a man he always was careful to relate his good qualities. He was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church, and speaking recently he said: "My observation during my long life has revealed that God loves and cares for His children." In the possession of this consoling belief he passed peacefully away to the reward of a good life, whose pathway was strewn with garlands of love and charity. ?*Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New J|ear, was observed the fore part of this week by Baltimore county Hebrews. According to tradition, the Jewish religion era begins with the creation, and still follows the lunar year, each month beginning with the new moon. The year 5685, according to this tradition, has opened. Solemn prayers were chanted, and the trumpet, the first musical instrument used when the Israelites journeyed in the wilderness, was used to remind the congregation of ancient times and summons the membership to repentance. The instrument is made of a ram's horn. NON-PARTISAN CITIZENS' COMMITTEE LAYS PLANS TO PUT SCHOOL LOAN OVER. MAN MURDERED While With Other Woman On Valley Road, Contractor Is Shot By Wife.

Church, My Lady's Manor, was found dead in his study on Sunday last. When Mr. Towers did not put in his appearance for the usual 11 o'clock service the congregation became alarmed and vestrymen found the minister dead in a chair. Funeral services were held at St. James* Church. Services were conducted by the Rev. H. N. Arrow-smith, canon of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of the Incarnation. The body was taken to Chapel Hill, N. €., for burial. Mr. Towers is survived by his widow, a daughter, Mrs. W. H. Webb, of Hillsboro, N. C, and a son, Edwin Towers. Plans for canvassing Baltimore county in the interest of the proposed $1,500,000 bond issue for schools were discussed at a meeting of chairmen of the Nonpartisan Citizens' Committee of Baltimore county. The meeting was held at the offices of the County Board of Education, Saratoga street and Park avenue, Baltimore. The proposed loan will be decided by the voters on November 4.Efforcs to reach every voter in the county will be made by members of the committee. Among the places at which addi tional school facilities would be pro vided by the loan are Randallstown, Garrison, Owings Mills, Cockeysville, Timonium, Parkville, Riderwood, Dundalk, Essex, * Lakeland and Orems. These and several smaller schools, which will be for white chil dren, will cost approximately $850, 000, it is estimated. Schools for negro children to cost $93,000 will be at North Point, Lutherville, Chattolanee, Towson, Sparrows Point and Rockdale. Archbishop Curley and Bishop John Gardner Murray have indorsed the proposed loan in letters written to George M. Kimberly, president of the Catonsville Improvement Asso ciation. Members of the Nonpartisan Citi zens' Committee, after a survey of Baltimore county, declared many of the schools now have crowded into them twice as many pupils as they were built to accommodate. Many of the schools, the survey showed, ? »^> ? * ? ? • ? • * * * ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? • • ? « INSURANCE DOES THIS Protects the home and family during health, sickness and death.
