Sounding “taps” over the grave of
a soldier originated with Captain Tid~
ball. In the Civil War, on the retire-
ment from the peninsula’ August 1862
Horse Battery A, Second Artillery,
was serving with the rear guard and
on reaching Yorktown one of the
canmnoneers died and was buried there. |.
Not wishing to stir up the enemy by
firing 3 rounds from the battery guns
as was customary, Capt. Tidball sub-
stituted taps (“lights out”), which
impressive custom has since been ob-
served at the conclusion of all mili-
tary funerals and ceremonies.
Tariff Trading
The House of Represengatives has
passed the tariff bill. That Seems some-
thing, but not a great deal. Following
the usual methods the Ways and Means
Committee of the House presented what
it thought was a good Republican bill,
and in accordance witha custom that
has prevailed regardless of whether the
Republicans or Democrats ruled the
House, the bill has been steam-rollered
in passage through the Lower house, and
sent over to the Senate. In this way
public attention has been riveted upon
the contents of the bill and in the ordi-
nary course of events the Senators will
hear all of the objections and listen to
all of the proposed provisions concern-
ing the new tariff. History will repeat
itself and after long and dreary Com-
mittee hearings the Senate will propose
600 or 700 amendments to the House
bill.
That's the way it is always done, and
if Congress succeeds in hanging a finish-
ed piece of legislation on President
Hoover's Christmas tree it will do very
well.
Remember the good old days when
you were a youngster and all you had to
worry about was ‘whether or not it
would rain on Thursdaydof the county
fair week?

Junior Base Ball
League is Organized
The Junior Base Ball League, spon-
sored by the American Legion, is begin-
ning to take on real aspects of becoming
one of real interest. The boys had their
first practice on Tuesday evening and
are coming along in fine shape.
There are four teams now and they
are divided as follows: The Reds,
Whites, Blues and Greens. The coaches
for these teams are, Wm. Darrah, Zip
Commons, Paul Critchfield and John
Lint. The entry blanks are coming in
every day and the boys of Meyersdale
are trying very hard to make a place on
one of the teams.
The American Legion is doing one of
the best things possible in bringing these
boys together and deserve a great deal
of credit.

Sipple, of Sippleville, a short distance

partment responded as they always do,
no matter where the fire may be and
rendered what assistance they could.

Statisticians Set
Limit Too Far Ahead
Meyersdale, Pa., June 5, 1929
Editor of the Meyersdale Commercial:
I clip the following from your issue
of last week:
Obligation and Privilege
For twenty-five years to come, so
the statisticians tell us, there will be
survivors of the Grand Army. That
we should cherish them tenderly is an
evident obligation as it is a high priv-
lege.
I beg to state that if the “statisti-
cians” have reference to the G. A. R.
only, they have set the limit twenty
years to far ahead.
Four members of our local G. A. R.
Post have died this year and at the
rate they are answering “The Last
Roll Call” throughout the country, ail
will be gone in five years; but if they
include the “American Legion,” and I
hope they do, then I extend the time
to sixty years at least.

ONE DEAD
Another in Hospital
As Result of Wolfsburg
EXPLOSION
As a result of injuries suffered last
Thursday afternoon when his dwelling
at Wolfsburg was wrecked by an explo-
sion of gas fumes from a lighting sys-
tem, John D. Wolf, aged 55 years, a.
prominent ‘citizen of Wolfsburg, died
late Friday afternoon in the Timmins
Hospital at Bedford. Death resulted
from internal injuries, fractures of bath
legs and shock. His right leg was am-
putated in an attempt to save his life.
His wife, Mrs. Nettie Wolf, aged 52,
who was also severely injured, was re-
ported to be somewhat improved at the
Bedford hospital, though her condition
is still regarded as critical. The sight
of both eyes were destroyed and her left
foot crushed and broken.
Mr. Wolf was formerly a drug sales-
man, retiring about four years ago. He
is survived by his widow and one son,
John, living in Wisconsin. He also
leaves a brother, Dr. A. C, Wolf, of Bed-
ford. The deceased was a member of
the Masons, Jaffa Temple Shriners and
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
His body was removed to the home of
Dr. Wolf. Funeral services were held
Monday morning in the Mt. Smith
Church, with burial in the church cem-
etery.
Mr. and Mrs. Wolf had spent the win-
ter months in Florida and returned to
their home in Wolfsburg last Wednes-
day. The explosion occurred when Mrs.
Wolf attempted to light a small stove,
the flame igniting fumes that had col-
lected in the house as the result of a
leak in the lighting system. Mr. Wolf
and his wife were caught beneath the
wreckage.
Hundreds of people visited the scene
of the disaster over the week end. The
house was completely wrecked, the ex-
tent of the damage amounting to several
thousand dollars.

of Somerset. The bungalow was oc-

Mrs. John McLuckie and Miss Ella
Long. All of the household furnish-
ings were destroyed. The Somerset
Fire Co. responded to an alarm.
Mr. Long's first home in West
Somerset was destroyed by fire a year
ago, and the bungalow was erected
on the site where the other dwelling
was razed. The loss is estimated at
$2,000 and is partly covered by insur-
ance.

Thome: Philson Dies In
Bedford Hospital From
Self-Inflicted Wound
The tragedy of the death of Tho-
mas Walker Philson, of Berlin, who
expired at 5:30 p. m., Monday, as the
result of a bullet wound, self-inflicted, ;
has‘ come as a shock to the many
friends and relatives of the unfortu-
nate man.
“Tom,” as he was familiarly known,
left his home early on Monday morn-
ing, on what he termed a “little va-
cation,” directing his car in an east-
ern course. He stopped on the way
for a chat with John Lane, and went
to the office of the Brothersvalley
Coal Co., Macdonaldton, where he left
the several keys belonging to the
company.
Before he left home, he told his
mother that he was going to Johns-
town, but instead he directed his
course to Bedford, where he purchas-
ed a revolver. He came back to a
school house near Keg, on the lower
road between West End and Manns
Choice, where he fired several shots
into the air, and then directed one
shot into the region of his heart. He
remained conscious in spite of the loss
of a large amount of blood.
In this condition, “Tom” hailed a
farmer who was passing with a load
of lumber and asked for medical at-
tention. The request was complied
with and a phone call was sent to
Bedford for a doctor and an ambu-
lance, and the victim was removed to
the Timmens Hospital at that place.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. William
F. Philson, of Berlin, were notified of
his condition, and his father accom-
panied by Glenn Bingner immediately
left for Bedford, and were at his bad-
side ‘when he passed away at about
5:30 Monday evening. H. R. Reed, of
the Brothersvalley Coal Co., and Mrs.
Reed also visited the deceased at the
Ee When questioned at the
.as.to. the reason for commit-
2 e rash deed, “Tom” is reported
to" a said that it was on’account of
ER Fi pale faith which he was afflicted
He remained con
loss of so Fach blood his life might
have been saved.
The body was prepared for burial
by a Bedford undertaker and was re-
moved #« the parental residence at
about noon, Tuesday. Funeral ser-
vices were in charge of Johnson and
Son. Glenn Bingner brought the
Philson car back to Berlin Monday
evening.
Deceased was a veteran of the
World War, being the first recruit
from Berlin in America’s call for sol-
diers. With three brothers, he served
until the close of the war in 1919,
He was a charter member of the pop-
ular Berlin Band and was commis-
sioned as assistant leader of the 320th
Field Artillery Band in France. He
‘was one of the original members of
Don. M. Kimmel’s Berlin Band, and
has played a clarinet in the 110th Re-
giment Band and in the orchestra con-
ducted by Mr. Kimmel.
Mr. Philson was 42 years of age
and unmarried. He had for the past
nine years been employed as chief ac-
countant for the Brothersvalley Coal
Co., at Macdonaldton. He was a
graduate of the Berlin High School,
class of 1903 and also attended the
Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg.
He is survived by his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. William F. Philson, by five
sisters, Myra (Mrs. Harry Floto),
Cumberland, Md.; Bertha (Mrs. El-
wood Landis), Berlin; Miss Elizabeth
Philson, Cumberland, Md.; Gertrude
(Mrs. Chester Musser) and Florence
(Mrs. ‘George Dively), Berlin; and
Leora (Mrs. Ralph Eccles), Philadel-
phia, and by three brothers, Edgar, of
Johnstown, Howard, of Pittsburgh
and Albert, of Berlin.
The fuineral, which was very large-
ly attended, was held on Wednesday
afternoon from the parental home in
Berlin, the Rev. C. P. Bastian, officiat-
ing. The members of the Harry
Fisher Post of the American Legion
gave the departed a military funeral.
By request no salute was fired at the
grave. . Interment was made in the
I. O. O. F. cemetery, Berlin.

The regular meeting of the Cham-
ber of Commerce will be held on next
