A munt woman.

suited In saving the lives of ethers.
Werd of the awards was received here
today.'
The young woman la Miss Keslah
Ellsabeth Weaks, night operator of the
Bell Telephone Company at Hatboro,
who also received $250 in cash. The
officer is Captain Geerge H. Mllhol Mllhel
land, '1007 North Sixty-third street,
Overbroek.
The medal is the Theodere N. Vail
memorial award for noteworthy public
service last year and what was in most
cases heroism resulting in 'the saving
of lives. '
Miss Weaks saved the lives ef-severn!
hundred passengers by warning the crew
of an outbound passenger train en the
Reading Railway of a burning bridge
which spanned a ravine a short dis
tance from the station. This happened
en April 15. 1020.
. Miss Weaks received word of her geed
luck today. She is a brlcht yeunc
woman of pleasing personality, vivu
cleusJn temperament and Just the ki
of a girl who one would expect te de
such a thing.
"I am se pleased I de net knew
what te think," she said at her cozy
little home in Hatboro. She had Just
returned from night duty when the
news came.
"There is no reason for any com
motion ever' it," she added. "I hap
pened te be looking at the window and
saw thick clouds of smoke floating
ever the tree. I looked toward Heaten
and saw that the smoke was com
ing from the direction of the bridge.
"A few moments later 1 saw met
the bridge was burning.
"I first telephoned te one of the
agents, but could net reach him imme
diately. Then I called up n woman
telephone subscriber who lived near the
station and asked her if she would run
te the station nnd tell the agent the
bridge was en fire.
"The bridge spanrred a roadway many
feet below. The woman ran quickly
and spread the news nnd the agent at
Heaten managed te warn the crew -in
time and avoid a possible catostro catestro catostre
nhe. "Last summer I received a brenxc
medal and was told at that time there
would be something mere coming In
recognition of the act. Since then I
forget all about it.
"It is geed en the -part of the com
pany te make these awards, us it shows
that one's work is really- nppreclutcd.
But de you knew most of our girls are
of that turn of mind? I believe that
any whom I knew would have done Jtift
exactly as I have done."
Miss Weaks paused te receive con
gratulations from n relative.
"The money comes in geed time,"
she added, "and I wilt be able Je cheer
some one else with it."
Captain Milhellnnd. who is the son of
Mr. nnd Mrs. Paul II. Milhellnnd, 1007
Knrih Hlvtv.tlilnl street, was attached

Every Flayer-Piane we manefacture has a double valve action and metal
tubing. De net let anybody talk yen Inte baying an instrument with a single valve
action, as it has net the power or endurance-lf it had, why should we spend twice
as much money in developing a doable valve action?
The very fact that for ever a quarter of a century we have been offering
$10,000.00 for a better piano than the MATCHLESS CUNNINGHAM should be
sufficient proof of its quality!
