One of these was an old church in Schaefferstown, Pa. Schaefferstown is a little place, seven miles from a railroad. Some of the houses are built of logs. Sonic of the people have lived there ninety years and have never traveled ten miles away. The church was established in 1740. Dr. Groh attended there when he was a child. In the early days they had a little bell on each contribution basket and if any parishioner was asleep when the collection was taken up the bell was rung until he awoke. Dr. Groh also preached for some of his former members at the old Swamp church. This congregation was organized by Rev. Harry Mel chior Muhlenburg very early in the eighteenth century and his church records, written partly in Latin, are still extant. Rev. Dr. Muhlenburg was one of the foremost patriots in the American colonies. The church is not very far from Valley Forge and was used as a hos pital during the Revolutionary war Dr. Groh preached also at the old St. John's church, Boyertown, Pa., where he was pastor for twenty-five' years, with a membership of over 1,000.

Milwaukee May Name Crack Train Ak-Sar-Ben Another effort is to be made to have the Milwaukee's crack train between Omaha and Chicago named the "Ak-Sar-Ben Limited." About a year ago the attention of the officials in Chicago was drawn to the fact that of all the names for the Omaha-Chicago night train, that of Ak-Sar-Beu would be the most ap propriate. Local Milwaukee men argue that the other crack trains of the system the Pioneer Limited, Southwest Limi ted, Olympian, Columbian are ex pressive of the territories they trav' RUPTURE EXPERT HERE Seeley, Who Has Supplied U.

Cannot Tell Red from Green And Would Join the Navy The most color blind, or the color blindest man that Lieutenant VV. W. Waddell of the navy recruiting sta tion ever saw applied for enlistment. He had absolutely no sense of color. Given a skein of bright red yarn and told to select other skeins of the same color from a basket, he picked yellow, green, brown and purple ones, but none that matched the red one. He was Harry Beam of Birmingham, Ala., and, of course, he didn't get into the navy. CONTRACTORS GIVEN WEEK "There's another alibi," declared City Commissioner Hummel when C. V. Hull appeared before the city, council to explain the paving situation from the standpoint of a material man. Mr. Hummel opened up the paving situation anew and announced he would give the contractor in Miller park district just one more week in which to show signs of life. Mr. Hull explained there is a short age of cement and crushed stone, due largely to lack of railroad equipment at this time. He said a stone mill at Lake View, la., broke down and new machinery could not be secured for repairs, thus causing a delay, i Commissioners Hummel and Jar dine were appointed as a special com mittee to "see what can be done to arouse the paving contractors." "It is high time that the city coun cil takes some notice of irresponsible paving contractors and in the future invite bids from contractors out of the city to compete with these local men who are favoring their contracts out side of this city and slighting thelrJ wont nere, was anotner statement by Commissioner Hummel.
