Pian To Buy Plot
for War Memoria
Beware of This Stranger
A stranger appeared at Bricker-ville
last week, calling on several
families there and claiming rela-tionship
at each place. His story was
that he lived in the West and lost
his railroad ticket. He is known to
have received $20 from one person.
It developed later that he inquired of
the family relationship before call-ing
at the homes. Nothing has been
heard of him since.
A similar occurrence was reported
near Reamstown.
Will Lititz Have a Ball Team?
Now that the first robins and blue
birds have made their appearance
and spring is just around the corner,
there usually is talk on the prospect
of a ball team for Lititz. So far
there is no person booked to pilot a
local nine.
Last year Lititz had a good team,
as good as for many years, and while
enthusiasm was worked up better
than was expected, at the best it was
a losing financial proposition.
Still there is still time, and some
one may devise ways and means for
financing a ball team at Lititz.
The Eighth Ward team at Lan-caster
will not function this year.
The Harrisburg Giants, a colored or-ganization
which frequently played
at Rossmere will not be organized this
year. Throughout the County, how-ever,
there will be the usual home
teams. Probalbly Lititz will get in
this class.
Knows How to Cull Chickens
At the Snavely Brothers farm the
chickens were culled by a New Jer-sey
expert, and a blood test made.
They were culled according to width
over the back and depth of body, in-stead
of the usual measurement be-tween
the pelvic bones. Some hens
were thrown out that 'would not have
produced more thai? 25 eggs a year.
Three Lititz Organizations Back
of Project
Under th-e supervision and direc-tion
of Garden Spot Post 56, Ameri-can
Legion, there is being formed a
project which, when completed, will
be of far-reaching value to the histori-cal,
educational and patriotic inter-ests
of .Lititz. This movement, which
the local Legion will start immediate-ly,
is to purchase the lot of ground
on which are buried in unmarked
graves the 110 Revolutionär;,7 soldiers
who died in Lititz 150 years ago.
The plot is that on East M'ain street
immediately opposite the residence oi'
Dr..Harry Bender. The approximate
position of the place is recorded in
the Moravian Archives, and its ex-act
position was established som.e
years ago, when upon excavating
brick clay a grave was found. After
the! Battle of Brandywine (Sept. 11,
1777) General Washington comman-deered
suitable large buildings of
Southeastern Pennsylvania, for hos-pital
purposes. Of several military
hospitals in Lancaster County during
that period, Lititz was the largest
and most important. In the Lititz
hospital (now the Moravian Parish
house, west of the church) about a
thousand wounded and sick patriots
were placed, to die or recover, between
Dec. 19, 1777,-and Aug. 28, 1778.
The plan of the Legion is to ac-quire
this burial site and donate it
to the Community. The tract thus
acquired, approximately 110 ft. front
by 180 ft. depth, will be planted
thickly with pines and hemlocks which
the State Forestry Department will
contribute.. In the front of this con-ifer
grove a monument will be placed
for the revered 110 who are buried
there. This monument will be erect-ed
by-the Federal Government, by the
Pennsylvania Historical Commission
or by the Lancaster County Histori-cal
Society.
This worthy enterprise, very appro-priately
of the sesquicent years, is
officially endorsed by the Young
Men's Business League, the Lititz
Rotary Clu'b and the Lancaster Coun-ty
Historical Society.
While the Legion, under the direc-tion
of Commander Norman Habecker,
will approach a number of citizens
for donations, everybody is privileg-ed
to contribute to this worthy cause
so close to the hearts of the nation
and the community. Alfred Douple,
the Post treasurer, will welcome such
contributions at his office in the
Farmers Bank.
Former Lititz Man President
John M. Pfautz, formerly of Lit-itz,
was elected president of the Lan-caster
County Association, of Pitts-burgh,
at the annual dinner of the
Association held recently at Webster
Hall.
Other officers elected were: H. B.
Charles, vice president, and George
W. Swan, secretary-treasurer. The
speakers were Dr. Theodore Diller,
who recently returned from Europe;
John Husson, the retiring president,
and C. M. Bomberger, publisher of the
Jeanette "Dispatch."
Philadelphia has a Lancaster Coun-ty
Club which holds an annual picnic.
At Honolulu there is a Pennsylvania
Club.
Entertained at Party
Mrs. Mary E. Kuhn, of 126 Spruce
Street, entertained several friends at
her home on Saturday evening. Her
guests included the members of the
Ready-to-wear department of Hager
& Bro's., Lancaster, where she was
employed prior to her marriage. Those
present were Miss Emma Mayer, Miss
Miriam Raub, Miss Edith McKonley,
Mrs. Savilla Letooe, Mrs. Louise Bis-loski,
Mrs. Lottie Kindell, Mrs. Mary
Hohman, Mrs. Blanche Huber, Miss
Bertha Miller, Mrs. Frank Ervin and
Mrs. B. K. Strickler.
Market Looks Attractive
The Lutz Central Market was
crowded on Saturday with buyers and
sellers. A Philadelphian dropped in,
made a purchase and remarked, "You
certainly have a wonderful market
in Lititz." The assortment of fresh
farm produce, attractively arranged,
is hard to pass by. Everything is
inviting. An Ephrata lady some time
ago said that the meat department
was the nicest she had ever seen. Ev-erything
clean and white.
Do you know there is prob-ably
only one saffron bed in
Lititz and that is located in
Wm. Snavely's garden along E.
Main Street? Years ago nearly
ev.sry person cultivated it, but
now it is almost ignored. It
blooms in the early fall and pro-duces
a purple flower, the sta-men
of which only is used. It
formerly sold at its weight in
silver coin. Now it is import-ed
from Spain and is worth
about $50 a pound. Our par-ents
and grandparents used it
in cooking and applied it in
-teas, in potpies, in noodle
soups and in stewed chicken
to flavor and give it a yellow
color.
The Ephrata Review pub-lishes
an editorial which fits
many boroughs, as follows:
Ephrata today must meet a
condition that never before ex-isted.
We are located in the
heart ¡of the cigar-making sec-tion,
and there were cigar fac-tories
furnishing employment
at almost every corner.
Today, the hand-made cigar
is fast becoming a thing of the
past, but our cigar-makers re-main,
want to work, and must
work to make a livelihood.
The question before us is to
secure employment for our peo-ple.
We believe that new indust-ries
.are the only solution for
the problem.
There are new industries that
are seeking new locations, we
know, but how to get them to
come to Ephrata is the thing
we don't kno-w.
We are informed that the
borough of Elizabethtown, this
County, has an opportunity to
get two new industries—a silk
mill and an electric washing-machine
plant. Ephrata has ad-vantages
equal to Elizabeth-town,
therefore, if Elizabeth-town
can have corporations lo-cate
there, then let Ephrata get
busy and bid for employing in-dustries.
A public lyceum was held at
the Paradise High School one ev-ening-
last week. The debate
was on "Outlawing the Subma-rine."
Congress will probably
never hear what conclusion was
arrived at, but down at Para-dise
those who heard it no
doubt had an enjoyable time.
A weekly lyceum was held
in Lititz years ago in the old
Lyceum building, where the
Moravian Home now stands and
in the Country districts ly-ceums
were popular for many
years. It was always fun, and
there was always one speaker
at least, who spoke in the Penn-sylvania
German dialect. The
most familiar subject was on
"Fire and Water," and "Is the
Pen Mightier Than the Sword?"
There was always some local
wit to amiuse the house and at
times the speakers got hot un-der
the collar.
The movies, autos and what-not
have changed things and a
lyceum nowadays is out of the
ordinary.
Old Kite Days
March is the time for kite flying,
and while the weather to date has
not been very favorable for the sport,
few boys are to be found who take to
it at the present time.
Years ago nearly every boy in town
flew a kite. Ralph Fry was the cham-pion
in his day and was the first juv-enile
to introduce the box kite in Lit-itz.
On several nights a bright light ap-peared
over town, causing much com-ment.
It was one of Ralph's tricks.
He tied a lantern to a box kite and
let it drift over Lititz. Some im-mense
kites were made that required
a heavy cord to hold them.
Business Growing
Reports Lititz Man
Dings-Peacock Company a Grow-ing
Concern
The Dings-Peacock Company, lo-i
eated at 328-330 North Queen Street,
Lancaster, have equipped their estab-lishment
to efficiently and expiditious-ly
turn out a very high quality of
workmanlship upon glass and mirrors.
From the front of this building one
would view it as an ordinary store-room,
but upon journeying through
the premises you will find a long row
of large glass working machinery.
This machinery occupies the first
floor. If you have never seen glass
b'iing worked into its different shapes
j and forms you cannot visualize the
kind of machinery and .equipment
used and found in this establishment.
In the basement you will find a room
set off for the purpose of making
mirrorlo. In this room is a machine
suspended over a large levelled table
that is used for what is known in
this particular industry as "block
polishing." No mirror whether it is
resilvered or made from new glass
is satisfactory without first going
through this block polishing" opera-tion.
After processed in this manner
the glass is thoroughly cleaned on
another table and placed upon a
large steam table, at which time a
sollution is poured upon the glass de-veloping
finally into a finished mirror.
Table tops, desk tops, beveled door
glass, large store fronts, glass ware
and standard paints are' some of the
things which this concern is able to
iserve Lancaster and vicinity.
An example of what this new in-dustry
can do for its patrons can be
realized from the fact that not only
are they able to do any and all kinds
of glass work, but in designing mir-rors
they have a thorough- knowledge
of the present scheme of furniture
motifs and have successfully created
designls to harmonize with the more
exacting- patrons who desire mirrors
of Venetian type to fit in with their
home furnishings.
Mr. Dwight Dings, one of the mem-bers
of the firm, has spent fourteen
years studying and working in the
glass business in the largest indus-tries
in the country and has a thoro
knowledge of all the phases pertain-ing
to the' working and shaping of
glass. He is a native of Binghamton,
N. Y., but has now made his residence
in Lancaster.
Mr. William Peacock, the other mem-ber
of the firm studied chemistry in
the University of Maryland and in
George Washington University, has
created non-glaring mirrors to be
used as rear-view mirrors on auto-mobiles,
which are protected by pat-ents
and are sold through the K-D
manufacturing Company as Visionite
Mirrors. It iis very interesting to
view thes^ mirrors in the process of
making. He is a native of Virginia
and was associated with the Wool-worth
Chemical Company of Lititz
before entering into this new enter-prise.
You will find it indeed very fas-cinating
if you go through this new
industry, and you will find either Mr.
Dingis or Mr. Peacock .ready to show
you the plant in detail.

For Unusual Foot Trouble
Dorothy Evans was taken to the
General Hospital on Tuesday and op-erated
upon yesterday. A needle was

evening. The Company found it
possible to invest five hundred dollars
toward the. new fire apparatus fund

something big for the March
meeting. The- receipts from pocket
billiards for the month were eighty-four
dollars, both taibles are in first-class

the mysterious disappear-ance
of J. Richard Goetz, of Harris-burg,
several weeks ago. His aband-oned

$170 on his person, leading to the be-lief
that he may Have been beaten and

First Pretzels In U. S. Baked
In /Lititz
The Bellefonte Democrat says that
the first pretzels were made in Penn-sylvania
and the industry seems not
to have languished much since they
deprived it of its greatest liquid as-set.
After a long controversy in differ-ent
newspapers Lititz showed the best
claim of having baked the first pretz-els
in the United States.
Pretzels are becoming more popu-lar
with the American public and the
popularity is increasing .each year,
due, no doubt, to their wholesomeness
as a food. They are an energy pro-ducing
food. Included in the small,
but important, mineral content of the
pretzels are calcium—valuable for the
teeth, bones, heart and muscle—mag-nesium,
potassium, sodium., phos-phorous,
chlorine, sulphur and iron.
A good pretzel is easily digested
and rather completely assimilated.
They offer a change from other flour
products which have become habits
with our regular meals.
One of the strongest points in fa-vor
of pretzels is the fact that they
require hard chewing. That is, they
call for real work from the teeth, and
this work strengthens the teeth,
brings blood to the gums and so keeps
them, healthy. This increases the flow
of saliva, thus aiding in digestion not
only the pretzels, but also of other
food that is eaten with them.
New uses for pretzels are con-tinually
being discovered in these pro-hibition
days. The pretzel has un-doubtedly
made for itself a perma-nent
place in the American diet.
The six pretzel bakeries in town
turn out about 12 tons each week,
or about 24,000 pounds, or about a
million individual pretzels.
Big Apple Year
Local orchardists expect a big
apple yield this year. However the
buds' are advanced too far for this
time of the year, and are anxiously
being watched.
