In the city there were hurrying crowds, rushing taxies | Hf and autos, and pedestrians scurrying across the street when for a moment, | traffic would stop. i OnO the a of West Chester Street stood a large crowd waiting for a lull in traffic, and through the crowd there walked a white-haired little old lady with a basket of pan- sies and violets on her arm. She was unlike the usual street venders, she was very genteel in appearance and the thin lined face expressed sor- row and suffering. Her English, when she spoke to people who pur- chased flowers, was very good. Observing all these things, and led by the thought of my own mother back in the little Nevada town I had left a year ago, I decided to buy a bunch of pansies and make the ac- so stepping up to her I purchased the flowers and asked several questions about the city, and found they were all answered intelligently. ; I spent a pleasant half hour with my new acquaintance, then decided to lunch at a nearby restaurant and in- vited my new friend to dine with me. - After some slight hesitation she ac- cepted the invitation and after being seated in the restaurant the conver- sation became more personal, and when a chance remark about the World War was passed I noticed the happy expression of joy on the little |" old lady’s face change to one of sad- ness, and I asked her if she had any sons in the war. I found three had been killed in France, and that there was an invalid husband at home who had been injured during the battle of the Marne. This brief history made me think of my home more forcibly than ever; of the many who had suffered similar losses because of the war and of the agony and fear * The kind of car runnin is oiled and greased. a ‘ DALLAS POS 3 DALLAS, PA, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1929 | ! | P49) CD SID) ED) ERS (EID (AE (+ FNC ATH | THD «<TH I (CL) (1 GRA Borough Council Holds Meeting Tues.

The axact figures covering enrol]- ments in the several languages are given in the following table: Number of pupils enrolled 50,286 6,32 Doys enrolled i lor high school Language French Greek Italian Latin Spanish TOA] corse loietigiessnsir 168,902 Latin, the survey shows, still hold first place in interest, being far in the lead of all the other languages taken together. The Classical In- vestigation of 1924, which was na- tion-wide in extent, announced as one of its findings that the number of pu- pils in secondary schools who were studying Latin was in excess of the number studying all other foreign languages.” Pennsylvania thus re- flects what appears to be typical of the country at large. . : ih SHAVERTOWN CITIZENS ATTEND P.

The batting honors went to the vet- eran Stitzer who poled out a double and three singles out of four tries. Culver did his part with two singles, Steve Lasco played his first game with Dallas and ‘while Culver didn’t give him a chance to do any fielding. He gave a fine exhibition of base run- ning.

Winter wheat made fair to good ‘progress aud re- ports indicate the crop is in general- ly excellent condition. Oats seeding is still in progress in nearly all sec- tions, the work having been delayed continued wet weather. The rye crop is making fairly steady growth, with the quality reported ag generally good. Due to the heavy rains pastures and meadows are in good condition and with warmer weather will show an excellent growth. In a few sections cattle are already grazing in the pastures, Potato planting continued during the week and most of the early varie- ties are in the ground. The late varieties have not vet been planted In many sections because of the fre- quent rains. Little gardening was done during the week and the early truck crops made slow gains. Frost killed asparagus to a great extent in Cameron county. Despite the cool weather during recent weeks fruits have apparently suffered little dam- age. Most of our correspondents re- port all fruits in good condition and in full bloom. In a few scattered localities some damage was reported due to the high winds of the latter half of the week. The consensus of opinion among those reporting shows that farm work of all kinds is slight- ly behind the average for the season of the year, while crop growth is ap- parently a little in advance, due to the abnormally warm weather of early spring. g —O CYCLONE AT MOSCOW —_—— A cyclone the early part of the week at Moscow, near Scranton, blew down the barn owned by Mrs: Walter Doran and did considerable damage to orchards and buildings in that’ vicin- ity.
