"DE PRO}'UNDlS"

THE FIRESIDE,

Why is a whisper forbidden in politesoc ie ty ? Bec au se It Isn't aloud.

At the first training camp at Plattsburg last summer an undersized"rookie" was o ne d ay strugg,lIng alongthrough mud that threatened to en g ul f h im a nd his pack. The companywere singing, and when they cameto the chorus he joined In with growlsand grumbles that seemed to comefroUl wel l down towar d hi::l belt. Beyond doubt , melody was not his forte.A b ig , hUlki ng sergeant came a long."What 's the matter? What ar e youhowling about?"" I'm s ingi ng bass , " expla ined th e"rookie,""Don't do It, my boy," said thesergean t ; "you ' re too deep down al ready. You come up to the surfaceand get the 0.11'."

By the way, speaking of Narbrook,you will notice st i ll another house be ing staked ou t on the east s id e o f th epark . T hi s makes t he s ev en th hou sein the park, t he m in imum v al ue otWhich (aboVe the ground) m ust be$5000. At least $35,000 worth of newhomes of qual ity in two years for ou rborough is not half bad. Even thoughmany thought the development wouldbe but a dream, it has proven !tseIta very practical kind of d ream whenbrought to realization-and i t' s p os sibilities a re not h al f developed as yet.Xarbrook Park is bound to be one atthe redeeming influences of Narberth.Hats of f t o the l it tl e b and o f dreamers-and doers-headed by George M.Henry, Burgess.The fol lowing events will, or have

Quite to th econtrary, facts ar e told i n s uch an interesting wa y by t he u se of the hatsthat even the youngest boy thoroughlyenjoyed statis t ics and a sermon without recognizing them a s such.

"No, madam,"he said, with a still deeper bow, "nowze rose is priceless!"

NEW USE i 'OU OLD CANALS

It's mpre than a sl ight mistake totell a s to ut woman s he is,

A number o f t he cities In the UnitedStates seem t o be in a fair Way off inding a use for th e old, insanitaryc an al s w hi ch p as s t hr ou gh theirmidst, taking up valuable space, acting as open sewer s, and renderinglittle or no service because t he b oa ttraffic on them Is negligible. In Cincinnati It i s p ropo se d to u ti li ze a porti on of th e be d o f t he MlamJ and ErieCana l for an interurban route. I t i8said that in Syracuse the old ErieCanal bed will eventually become th eroute of the New York Central tracks,and a similar chang,e ha s been projected for Rochester, N.
