Father McElvennv Leaves
St. Matthew's Church
Hev. John F. McElvenny, assistant
rector of St. Matthew's church, has
been transferred to St. Hose of 'Lima
church, at Eddystone, Delaware
county, where he will act as assist-ant
rector. Father McElvenny re-
I.IIIHI orders of his transfer from
the Archdlocesan headquarters on
Wednesday and assumed his new
duties the same afternoon.
Father McElvenny came to St.
Matthew's from the church of the
Holy Child. Logan, in June, 1921.
and during his short pastorate at
the local church endeared himself
to the members of the parish and
made many fi lends among the
townspeople
No successor to Father McElven-ny
has as yet been appointed. A |
visiting priest will be assigned to
assist with the services next Sun-day.
HIGH SCHOOL SIDELINES
The Cafeteria proposition is mov-ing
along nicely. Plans are being
drawn by the committee from the
Chemical Society So that the noon-time
hot lunches can be served, be-ginning
the first Monday in. October.
The hammering and other building
noises are making certain class
rooms in the high school very un-desirable
for school wora. When
the steel work for the new high
school arrives, the present noise
will be raised to the Nth power.
Several of the teachers have hit
upon a plan that will both save coal
and also give the students one
solid hour of quietness, so that
their thinking will be uninterrupted.
The plan Is as follows: Begin
school at 8 o'clock, stop at I p. m.
Tho building woula then not need
to be heated during the usual after-noon
session. The usual workman's
dinner hour, would furnish one hour
of noiseless minutes for recitations.
This Is merely a suggestion made
by some of the teachers annoyed by
the noise.
The I.auis Pasteur Biological So-ciety
reorganized for its third school
session by electing the following
officers: Arward Dodsworth, presi-dent;
Harold Koch, vice president;
Virginia Ramsay, secretary; Carl
Jiauet, treasurer and Gerald Ferrler,
publicity ngont. The society Is
planning to raise money to buy a
moving picture machine for the high
school.
The bookkeeping desks and a
number of teachers' desks have not
as yet arrived. However the emer-gency
is met very well under the
present conditions.
Charles S. Head was elected pub-licity
agent of the Chemical Society.
COAL DEALERS ARE
GETTING A SUPPLY
A few shipments of anthracite
coal havo been received during the
week by local dealers and It Is ex-pected
regular shipments will begin
next week of the larger sizes.
The dealers do not expect full
shipments but believe enough will
be received to take care of the Im-mediate
needs of the people.
A few cars of the larger sizes
have been received and this sto-
Is being apportioned among custom-ers
who placed orders early last
spring.
As to prices, none of the dealers
would commit themselves. One
dealer stated that the various com-panies
are asking different prices
but that a uniform price for the
various sizes will be set next week,
and the dealers have been Informed
that they may expect a slight ad-vance
over the prices before the
miners' strike.

THINGS HEARD OF
IN CONSHOHOCKEN
To the Recorder:
1 recall to mv mind some things
that I have heard on the outside
about Consliohocken.—Viz. Some
people in Detroit, Michigan, were
talking about trips that they had
taken and places that had left a
lasting and pleasing impression with,
them. Said one, "when we were in
Philadelphia we took an auto trip
and we went via Hryn Mawr and
saw the college, and on to Valley
Forge and enjoyed that trip around
there so much, and every now and
then we saw a sign board with some
long name, I do not know yet what
it as, but a funny name, and coming
hack from Philadelphia we went
from one place to another, just
riding through the main streets §of
several towns, and we went through
the main street ol that town with a
funny name. The views, the line
air and the attractive looking homes
on that little main street did so ap-peal
to me, I have often wished I
had written that funny name down.
The writer asked If that funny name
was CON-SHO-IIOCKEN? And the
lady at once took out her pencil and
a paper to write tie funny name of
what she thought to be one of the
most pleasing little towns that slit
had seen. (That lady had traveled
pretty much all through the United
States and a good deal abroad.)
Again the writer happened to be in
'the* office of a leading Philadelphia
Real Estate man and heard him dis-cuss
various Philadelphia suburban
towns. Said he, "Now there is that
town Conshohocken, I do not knew
what those people out there are
thinking of, they do not seem to en-courage
outsiders to come in. Why
look at what they have that c lot of
these suburban places do not have,
In the first place its situation, two
lines of railroad, trolley service
that connects well with all parts of
Philadelphia and West Philadelphia,
the locations and building sites,
with such wonderful views and line
air. Why you recall that circum-stances
where Hopkinson Smith was
on his way to Reading to address
the Woman's Club, and it was a sul-try
day and the air and the scenery
of the Scvhuylklll Valley finally
drew him out on the. platform of the
car, and as the train drew near Con-sliohocken,
the air so invigorated
him that ho drew a long breath and
said to the conductor, "Isn't this
invigorating?" "No sir," said the
conductor, "this Is CONSHOHOCK-BN."
Now that Is just Conshohock-en
for you, they have so much that
they do not Bee for themselves, why
It, they Just boosted that town In-stead
of holding It down as they do
it would take strides that you would
sit up and wonder at. Where ever
you ride around those beautiful hills
for nilleB around, nestled on the
beautiful high elevation with its
own beautiful hills, you see that
pretty little town—Consliohocken,
yet one thing, too, that they do iv>t
see It, is to their detriment, they
boast of their low assessment, now
what they want to see is first the
good of their town, put their hands-down
In their pockets, pay up, and
boost, uud suy they would waken up
to find that values had taken such a
jump out that way that they were a
lot better off than they even hoped
for.
The writer did not know the two
men personally, but had to ventuie,
Conshohocken is not as dead as you
think. There was a time when out-side
interests were not welcomed to
Its realms, but now they have aa
active Chamber of Commerce, and
Consliohocken is alive and growing.
It even makes no provision for any
one to die off, as you can not be
buried In that town.
The writer writes these comments
merely to make the point that Con-sliohocken
has the equipment as a
town—for boosting and boasting—
and l«t every one get at it and see
the results by the Philadelphia Ex-position
time, and still more famo
of the beautiful little Consliohocken
will be carried still further than
Detroit, Michigan.

The condition of evangelist Ella
Nace, of upper Ford street, who has
been critically 111 for the past three
days In the Osteopathic hospital,
Philadelphia! was reported today as
being slightly improved and hope Is
now entertained for her recovery.
Mrs. Nace underwent a minor oper-ation

operation was performed on Tues-day
and until last evening her con-dition
was extremely critical, when
a slight change for the better was
noticed.

BIRTHDAY REMEMBRANCE
Newsdealer George W. Taylor,
celebrated his birthday on Wednes-day.
Although he realized the signi-ficance
attached to each succeddlng
year of a man of his age, he plan-ned
to observe the occasion In a
very quiet manner. However, Mr.
Taylor has always been a man
more or less popular In business
life as well as In a number of fra-ternal
organizations and at present
is a Grand Tall Cedar In the Norris-town
Forest of the Tall Cedars of
Lebanon. His fellow members ad-vised
that his birthday fell on their
regular meeting night, so after the
business had been concluded and
the Grand Tall Cedar was about to
depart for his home he was called
to the front again and informed that
he was not pulling anything over
on the members and that they had a
little surprise In store for him.
With this they presented him with a
large number of tokens or various
kinds and descriptions. Mr. Taylor
accepted the gifts in a most agree-able
manner but could not refrain
from expressing his surprise and
admitted that he had for once had
"It pulled over on him."
Mr. Taylor was the host at a gath-ering
of business men at the Ply-mouth
Country Club on Tuesday
evening, and a most enjoyable time
was spent.

John A. Harrold
John A. Harrold, well known hotel
keeper in Conshohocken. and a
councilman for many years, was ar-raigned
in Court Room No. 1 before
■ludgo Swart/.. The testimony
against Harrold was given by the

Scanlin and [nhelder.
Morrow, one ot the agents, testi-fied
he went to the Harrold place
and asked for whisky. lie was tak-en
into a rear room, where, he said,
Harrold secured a bottle and glass
and placed them on the table for the
man to help himself. He said he
poured some of tho liquor into a
glass and paid Harrold fifty cents a
drink. He did not swallow the
whisky, but wont into the bar room.
He then went to the street nnd spit
the liquor into the gutter. On an-other
occasion he went to the place
with Wilke and was again ushered
into the rear room, where they were
serving drinks. This time he re-turned
to the bar room and leaning
over In front of the bar emptied
the contents into a small bottle
which he placed in his pocket. This
time he paid Mr. Harrold, he says,
$1. and received no change.
