For several years after the reorganization the membership grew, but recently it was decided to sell the club property. Its register contained the names of many prominent residents of Catonsville ajid Baltimore. Among them was J. S.

This particular part of the road— Middle River Bridge or Eastern avenue extended—runs in a straight line from Hollywood Park to the point where Mace avenue and Riverside drive meet it. It is a central point for Essex folk, who, after alighting from the trolley, go up Mace avenue to what is known as the Highlands or down Riverside drive to the south side of the town. The strip of highway is narrow, barely providing room for two vehicles to pass without one being crowded off into the sand. On one tern of the United Railways for the Middle -River line. The arrange-meit at present compels passengers to pay an additional fare upon reaching Hollywood Park, approximately 500 yards from Essex. A great majority of the people in Essex are employed in Baltimore, Sparrows Point and other points. Most of them, consequently, use the trolley going and returning from work. And to escape the fare, which is the third from Baltimore proper, many are in the habit of leaving the cars at Hollywood Park and walking the rest of the way down the road to the town.

Another element that adds to the congestion at certain hours is the fact that there is no high school at Essex and children of high school age attend Sparrows Point or Baltimore institutions. Many of them also are accustomed to walk the distance from the bridge to the town to avoid paying the additional fare. The latest fatal accident on this piece of the Middle River road was that which resulted in the death of Michael Bosse, Eastern Avenue, Essex. Mr. Bosse was returning from work at the National Oil Company plant and had alighted from the trolley at Hollywood. The automobile that struck and killed him at the same time struck Mrs. Jesse Bradford, another trolley passenger who had just alighted. Last Sunday, according to a member of the Essex police force, a woman was struck on this road and suf- da Eastern avenues, you see, would lead to other demands—some of them from that very section, in all probability. People farther down the road then would want the zone lengthened to take in the middle of Essex and then they would want it extended to the far side. "Of course, it is unfortunate for the residents when asection springs up just beyond a zone limit as Essex has done. "Right now we are working to devise means to enable us to extend single fare to city limits everywhere. This problem, it would seem, is our first consideration for the present. "As. to whether there is more danger to pedestrians from motor vehicles in the Hollywood-Essex locality than in others I am unable to say. But, as a matter of fact, that condition is one for the attention of other agencies than ours, it seems to me. I know that to extend the zone there would mean the loss of revenue that we can ill afford to lose GROWING EVIL OP DIVORCE IS LAID TO HOMES BY TOWSON CLERGYMAN.

Children should be encouraged to use standard books like those the generations of the past were raised upon,t£ays th eclergyman, and carefree Mfeling in the air should be curbed—the only hope lying in better environment, which parents and educators should seek and insist upon the present-day youngsters. The enactment of new laws will not correct the evils, he says, for the remedy does not lie in legislation, but in the proper training of the youth of the nations. Rev. Mr. Depp states that since the war he has given much time and thought to the serious sociological problems facing the county, which are an aftermath of the conflict. "This lack of responsibility of parents in the welfare of their children," he concludes, "seems to be in the air and it is my great hope that the country may find itself soon and restore the order of marriage and family to its normal state."

A mother and her two small children lay near death at Bay View Hospital, injured when the automobile in which they were riding was wrecked by a Dundalk street car at Trappe road and Fifth avenue. Winfred P. Kofsky, husband and parent, who drove the machine, escaped almost miraculously. The injured are: Mrs. Christina Kofsky, thirty-eight; Helen, twelve, her daughter; Alexander, seven, her son. Physicians held little hope for Mrs. Kofsky's recovery. Her skull and hip are fractured and she is injured internally. Both children have fractured skulls, internal injuries and are cut badly about the faces and body. Alexander, least seriously injured, may recover, it was said. Kofsky, who was caught under the wheel of his wrecked automobile, was only slightly bruised, but suffered from shock. The family, according to Mr. Kofsky, was driving to Baltimore to do some shopping and the machine was going along a road parallel to the street car just before the accident. At Trappe road, where the highway cuts across the car tracks, Mr. Kofsky said he judged the car to be far behind him and thought he had ample time to cross safely. When he got upon the tracks he saw he could not escape being struck. Mrs. Kofsky screamed and tried to jump from the rear seat of the machine with her two small children. The automobile was struck and pitched across the tracks. It skidded across the adjoining highway and plunged into a fence guarding a ten-foot embankment and ditch. The street car was not going at an unusual speed, according to Motor-man John Amrain, 3526 East Baltimore street. There were no passengers waiting at the car stop, and Amrain said he did not see Kofsky in time to avoid the accident. ----------o---------- BOND ISSUE DISCUSSED AT TOWSON TOWN CLUB MEETING.

Among others struck by machines on this road within the last year are Charles Horst, who suffered a fractured leg and other injuries, and Miss Anna Smith, who was fatally injured. The fare paid at Hollywood Park, according to George Neidhardt, a conductor, takes a passenger to the end of the line at Middle River, more than three miles down the road. "We are sympathetic with people in a position like those in Essex," said Louis H. Palmer, general manager of the United Railways, "but I do not see what can be done at the present time to change matters. The Essex question is not a new one with us.' "In fact, it is the same old story and we hear it with variations on all sides. With us it might be first, of course, a question of keeping the company solvent while striving to give the people good service. We have been stretched to the breaking point.

Tilson has not been seen. Informers said that they had identified Hart by his pictures in the newspapers. He is now wearing a moustache and a heavy beard. ----------o---------- LIFE OF REST AND QUIET HOLDS NO CHARMS FOR LUTHER- VILLE STATION AGENT, RECENTLY RETIRED. A life of rest and quiet holds no charms for John Chambers, who for 30 years has been station-master at Lutherville. On the eve of his retirement Mr. Chambers' principal regret is that he will no longer be able to get a postition with a railroad. Then, too, he dislikes to leave the town where he has lived for so many years. "I have been with a railroad all my life, first as a baggage-master, then as station-master, and I have seemed to thrive on narrow escapes," said Mr. Chambers, as he sat in his little apartment over the railroad station. "I have lived in this part of the State all my life, most of the time in Lutherville," he continued, "I have seen so many of the townspeople grow up and marry, that I feel as though their children are my grandchildren. Lutherville has not changed much since I came here, and I hate to think of leaving it, but I guess I will have to do it." Mr. Chambers said tramps, which used to cause him trouble, are very rarely seen around the station now. "I never refused to give them a bite to eat. Maybe that is one reason so many came here," he said, "but I have had some pretty stiff fights with them when they loitered around too much." Mr Chambers admitted that once he saved a woman's life by jumping in front of a train and pulling her to safety. "She was very indignant with me for having grabbed her so roughly," he laughed. Mr. Chambers is an advocate of early to bed and early to rise. "I get up later now than I did formerly. Now I don't get up until 5 o'clock. I usually go to bed at 9," he said. One of the biggest regrets of both Mr. Chambers and his wife is that when they leave their old home they may not be able to take their flowers with them. They have such a large and interesting number of flowers and both the station-master and his wife value them highly. One of their prized possessions is a lobster cactus, which always blooms at Christmas, while in a vase in the dining room is a forerunner of spring, a sprig of cherry blossoms in full bloom. «? «? • > <» < > < ? «? «? • > «? ?? :: We have at the head of our Guernsey Herd LONE PINE RESOLUTE 80438 Whose seven nearest dams average 14,838.90 lbs. of milk, 784.85 lbs. ef butterfat.
