THE LARGEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN NORTH¬ AMPTON COUNTY. EX¬ CELLENT ADVERTISING MEDIUM. Item READ BY ABOUT PEOPLE. CIRCULATKm 4000 WEEKLY. ADVER¬ TISING IN THIS SHEET PAYS. T AN INDEPENDENT FAMILY NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, LOCAL AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE VOL. xxvm NAZARETH, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 7, 1919 NO. 36 AUTOISTS SERIOUSLY INJURED ON BETHLEHEM PIKE. Five persons were injured, three seriously, Sumday atternoon at flve oclock, when an Allentown bound Nazareth trolley on the Lebigh 'Val¬ ley Transit Co. line crashed into a Ford touring oar at a crossing rear the Stockertovrf road and the Naza¬ reth pike, opposite Shimer's farm. The Ford was struck in the middle and broken in halt. The occupants were strewn about the highway on- tangled in pieces of the wrecked touring car. All are residents of Nazareth. The seriously injured are: Miss Annie Woyjoska, aged 19 years; and Miss Josephine Alick, aged 17 years, both suffering from shock, bruises of the head and body and lacerations ot the face. Joseph Fasni, aged 26, suffered a fracture of the lett collar bone and body bruises. Misses Woyjoska and Alick and Mr. Fasni, in company with Miss Aj»- nie Williams and James Ferraro, the latter driving tho car, started after dinner for a ride about the surround¬ ing country. The return trip was be¬ ing made by the way of Georgetown. When the party emerged from the Stockertown road, which runs paral¬ lel with the tarm of Clinton Kern, they had to pass through a short stretch of road, trom which the trol¬ ley tracks were hidden by flelds ot corn. car No. 133, heavily loaded, had passed and the tourists thought their course was clear and sate. The auto¬ mobile was squarely 011" the tracks, when caT No. 149, the second double- header, crashed into the machine. The forepart ot the car was thrown against a fence 25 feet away. The tonneau and Its occupants were turn¬ ed completely around aud In the gyrations the wrecked car made af¬ ter being rammed, its occurpants were thrown out. Passengers on the car quickly gave aid and made the injured as com fortable as possible until Dr, V. J. Koch, of Nazareth, arrived. He gave first aid treatment and advi33d the removal ot the Misses Woyjoski inl Alick and Fasni to St. Luke's Hos¬ pital, at Bethlehem. SCHOENECK MORAVIAN PICNIC A SUCCESS. STOCKERTOWN. i Forks Sunday-school will hold its picnic on the church lawn, Aug. 16 Games have been arranged tor both Schoeneck Sunday-school never had a jollier picnic than the one thdt took place last Saturday, the 2nd. There was something doing every minute. Brother Trein had provid¬ ed a lot of brand new pennies for which the quite little kiddies knock¬ ed and won a prize every time. The bigger boys tossed bean bags. There were races for the little folks. Then came contests in sewing on buttons. Considerable interest was aroused in the pulling contests, flrst between the married and the single women, second between the married and single men, in which the married folks were victors in both trials, showing that, as the good book sa'ys: "It is not good that the man should bo alone." In the meanwhile there was an exciting game ot baseball In a neighboring field, in which Schoen¬ eck won. Then came the supper. It would be easier to tell what was not on the tables than to enumerate the meats, cakes, pies and preserves that tempted the appetite even of the most dyspeptic. One felt almoat like the Frenchman who was learn¬ ing English, who said: "Lord, pre¬ serve us and pickle us too." After supper various parties, old and young tried to walk the rope. Presently we may expect to have with''us^-a representative ot Keith's vaudeville circuit seeking toeniist per¬ formers for his theatres. After this the primary class had Its photograph taken to the great disgust of the littlest pupil. Rev. Rights, though no expert, tried to tell Uncle Remus's famous "Tar Baby Story," which has delight¬ ed the little folks in the Southland, both negro and white, ever since the negro set his foot on American soil. Perhaps he brought it with him trom where Africa's sunny fountains roll down the golden sand. In the begin¬ ning it was the children who listened and then others came until it seem¬ ed as if the little girl's thought was true. "Now father's very old and wise; He's thirty four and such a size; He reads a curious tongue called Greek, And lectures on it twice a week. And I believe that he enjoys The tales as much as little boys. For when the gong is rung by Bess To say it's time to go and dress.

The boys, though at flrst, soon found that they were welcome. As they march¬ ed around they sang the words of thc old, old English ga'me. "Oats and bea'ns and barley." Partners wen chosen, and received the admon¬ ition. "Tou must be kind, you must be good, and help your wife to chop the wood." From far and near there came new recruits to tbe ring. If tha hour had not been so late there Is a suspicion that parsons, trustees, el¬ ders and other gray-haired folks would have been found in the ring, renewing the days of their youth. The fun had been fast and furious, but as the twilight came stealing through the trees, all gathered for h' vesper service on the hillside. The band led, while all sang, as perhaps they had never done before, as they thought ot the boys who had gone across, and come back, and of the triumph of Democracy, "My Country, tis ot Thee," "Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty."

On the Sunday after, a brother snid: "The picnic was like those wi used to have, when I lived in Raston Washington.—Prc^^i'lent Wilson ask¬ ed tho house to pu.^tpnne lt.9 reco'j> because of present cunditions of tlie hl|,'h cost of living, ,10(1 the railrond wage negotiations which nre iikewist an outgrowth of tho abnormal p^ice^ paid by the peoiile for tbe necessaries of life, '"he houso voted to comply with the reque.st. The President recommended the creation of a special board by Con¬ gress to consider tlie matter of wage increases for railroad employees. An increase of twelve cents nn hour for tho workens, according to Walker D, Hines, director-general of railroads, will mean an additional expenditure of ?SOO,000,000 a year. If a wage increase Is grnnted by the tribunal, it will be retroactive to August 1, The President's decision, made known in a letter to the chairmen of both the senate and house committees on Interstate commerce, menns thnt Congress, If It accedes to his wishes, will have complete control of the rail¬ road situation. In a similar sense it will have to solve the high cost of liv¬ ing problem, and it therefore pos¬ sesses, or will possess, the two knot¬ tiest problems cf the administration. So dove-tailed are the railroad wage negotiations and the high cost of liv¬ ing that tlielr consideration must nec¬ essarily be taken up at the same time. The railroad workers, by their visit to the White House precipitated the ac¬ tion. The President's letter to Speaker Gillette, advising against a recess of the house—the senate is in session continuously because ot the treaty and league covenant debate—was as fol¬ lows : * "My Dear Mr. Speaker: "The director general of railroads informs me that the situation with reference to the railroads Is growing so critical every hour that I hope It will be possible for the house to post¬ pone its recess until some definite ac¬ tion is taken on the recommendatloiw contained in my letter to Mr, Bscb, "Ollicials "Df the government have been In consultation with reference to the problems growing out of the high cost of living, upon which I ex¬ pect recommendations to be made within a fortnight. I sincerely trust thnt the proposed recess of Congress mny be postponed nt least nntll such time as we may know definitely the problems which confront ns grovrlng out of this Intricate situation.

AUTOISTS SERIOUSLY INJURED
ON BETHLEHEM PIKE.
Five persons were injured, three seriously, Sumday atternoon at flve oclock, when an Allentown bound Nazareth trolley on the Lebigh 'Val¬ ley Transit Co. line crashed into a Ford touring oar at a crossing rear the Stockertovrf road and the Naza¬ reth pike, opposite Shimer's farm. The Ford was struck in the middle and broken in halt. The occupants were strewn about the highway on- tangled in pieces of the wrecked touring car. All are residents of Nazareth.
The seriously injured are: Miss Annie Woyjoska, aged 19 years; and Miss Josephine Alick, aged 17 years, both suffering from shock, bruises of the head and body and lacerations ot the face. Joseph Fasni, aged 26, suffered a fracture of the lett collar bone and body bruises.
Misses Woyjoska and Alick and Mr. Fasni, in company with Miss Aj»- nie Williams and James Ferraro, the latter driving tho car, started after dinner for a ride about the surround¬ ing country. The return trip was be¬ ing made by the way of Georgetown. When the party emerged from the Stockertown road, which runs paral¬ lel with the tarm of Clinton Kern, they had to pass through a short stretch of road, trom which the trol¬ ley tracks were hidden by flelds ot corn.
car No. 133, heavily loaded, had passed and the tourists thought their course was clear and sate. The auto¬ mobile was squarely 011" the tracks, when caT No. 149, the second double- header, crashed into the machine.
The forepart ot the car was thrown against a fence 25 feet away. The tonneau and Its occupants were turn¬ ed completely around aud In the gyrations the wrecked car made af¬ ter being rammed, its occurpants were thrown out.
Passengers on the car quickly gave aid and made the injured as com fortable as possible until Dr, V. J. Koch, of Nazareth, arrived. He gave first aid treatment and advi33d the removal ot the Misses Woyjoski inl Alick and Fasni to St. Luke's Hos¬ pital, at Bethlehem.
SCHOENECK MORAVIAN
PICNIC A SUCCESS.
STOCKERTOWN. i
Forks Sunday-school will hold its picnic on the church lawn, Aug. 16 Games have been arranged tor both
Schoeneck Sunday-school never had a jollier picnic than the one thdt took place last Saturday, the 2nd. There was something doing every minute. Brother Trein had provid¬ ed a lot of brand new pennies for which the quite little kiddies knock¬ ed and won a prize every time. The bigger boys tossed bean bags. There were races for the little folks. Then came contests in sewing on buttons. Considerable interest was aroused in the pulling contests, flrst between the married and the single women, second between the married and single men, in which the married folks were victors in both trials, showing that, as the good book sa'ys: "It is not good that the man should bo alone." In the meanwhile there was an exciting game ot baseball In a neighboring field, in which Schoen¬ eck won. Then came the supper. It would be easier to tell what was not on the tables than to enumerate the meats, cakes, pies and preserves that tempted the appetite even of the most dyspeptic. One felt almoat like the Frenchman who was learn¬ ing English, who said: "Lord, pre¬ serve us and pickle us too."
After supper various parties, old and young tried to walk the rope. Presently we may expect to have with''us^-a representative ot Keith's vaudeville circuit seeking toeniist per¬ formers for his theatres. After this the primary class had Its photograph taken to the great disgust of the littlest pupil.
Rev. Rights, though no expert, tried to tell Uncle Remus's famous "Tar Baby Story," which has delight¬ ed the little folks in the Southland, both negro and white, ever since the negro set his foot on American soil. Perhaps he brought it with him trom where Africa's sunny fountains roll down the golden sand. In the begin¬ ning it was the children who listened and then others came until it seem¬ ed as if the little girl's thought was true.
"Now father's very old and wise; He's thirty four and such a size; He reads a curious tongue called
Greek, And lectures on it twice a week. And I believe that he enjoys The tales as much as little boys. For when the gong is rung by Bess To say it's time to go and dress. He won't get up from oft the floor

soon formed. The boys, though
at flrst, soon found that they were welcome. As they march¬ ed around they sang the words of thc old, old English ga'me. "Oats and bea'ns and barley." Partners wen chosen, and received the admon¬ ition. "Tou must be kind, you must be good, and help your wife to chop the wood." From far and near there came new recruits to tbe ring. If tha hour had not been so late there Is a suspicion that parsons, trustees, el¬ ders and other gray-haired folks would have been found in the ring, renewing the days of their youth.
The fun had been fast and furious, but as the twilight came stealing through the trees, all gathered for h' vesper service on the hillside. The band led, while all sang, as perhaps they had never done before, as they thought ot the boys who had gone across, and come back, and of the triumph of Democracy, "My Country, tis ot Thee," "Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty."
