In August General Howe had com- •menced his movement on Philadelphia. »• Ale disembarked his army near the f 1 /head of Elk on the Chesapeake, about 'fieventy miles from Philadelphia, paused only long enough to complete Preparations for the march and startid for the American capital. It was ow evident that Howe meant to take he city, and Washington had either o fight or to turn Philadelphia over o the enemy without a struggle, ith a force numerically inferior and Ipoorly arm^S, the General decided to -fight. . ^ In his jgeneral orders of September %, Washington appealed to the army %o support him to the utmost in the Jjattle which was now inevitable. "Two years,he wrote, "have we Maintained the war, and struggled <with difficulties innumerable, but the |>rospe£t has brightened." He suggested that if they were successful in this campaign the WutJeoukl be concluded. Howe moved forward slowly with the Americans withdrawing ahead of Thim, harassing his troops and in every sway possible impeding his progress. General WaAington at last took his position oiyxhe Brandywine, at Chad's tly in the Briton's Upath twenty-six miles from Philadelphia. Here the two "armies faced each other on September 11, in battle formation. The story of the battle is told in the letter which Pickering wrote to £on- ££en_s_ tJ^UL^jniehUat... jQhester where Washington had sent his stores and directed the army to gather.

Ah, well; luck could not be h£rs all her life. So she made a little shrugging gesture witlw her dainty shoulders, shoved on the brakes a b't harder, stopped, and looked up at handsome Danny O'N'eil, as his mates called him; some in envy, most of them in friendliness. .f. As for Danny, the remark of the grilled sergeant in the booth when they had spied Jennie airplaning by* Still burned his shapely ears. It was: "There's that rosy-cheeked speed baby goin' by for the tenth time this month. You always watch her out a sight with a lost look In your eyes. Say, bowdja ever expect to meet her unless you give her a ticket? Where's your headwork, son?" All of which explains the sudden dash of Danny O'Neil, the whistle, Jenny's resigned shrug, and the perfect curb mooring to which she brought the powerful roadster her dad had given her for a birthday present. Thus the conversation: . "I'm sorry, Miss; but I'll have to give you a ticket. I suppose I'm expected to say: 'Whadja think y'are-- the Twentieth Century Limited--hand over that license!' and snarl and show my teeth. That's what fiction and the. newspapers demand of us. But there are not many who live up to the tradition, I*m afraid. You see, it's this way--mjr sergeant has seen me watch you-go at forty to fifty several times This month--well, he kidded me about Jt; and, donTt you know, my future's: In the force. Got to-be careful. Hate to do this, because 1 see- how you can drive and you could go eighty-five and not be a menace. You're a driver. Oh, well, let's have the license and registration. I'll make out the ticket and yon won't mind too much, eh?" "Mind? Should say not I" Jenny was young and Impressionable; but she had a keen, not-to-befooled mind. This frank, handsome young officer interested her as none of her gay, rather worthless set did. She delved effl clently in the pocket of the door by her side and obediently held forth the requested documents. His quiet, wellbred diction ; his reference to reading ; above all. his clean, classic good looks; they appealed, tugged at her heart. For several minutes be scribbled out the ticket. Then, handing It to her, be said: "Very Iwrry--Fve watched you go by lots of times--and, oh, jrell ; yoq know where Bronx traffic court la I've made It day after tomorrow morning at ten. I'll be .'here to try to see you In and out In a hurry, Twon't cost you more than twenty or twentyfive at the outside . . .*• "You're a mighty nice person." Jenny was a frank little souL "And I'll be there looking for you." Danny O'Neil thrust a hastily scribbled card In her hand, the suggestion of a blush on his features fand Jenny drove uptown while he cycled back to the booth. Not, however, before she had flashed him an unforgetable smile as she pocketed the card. Bright and early at a quarter to ten Jenny Bates was at Bronx "traffic court. Danny was there even earlier, hope high In his beairt that she would be there. "You're booked first case--I've seed to that," he came over and whispered to her. "Swell!* she murmured, gay lights dancing In her eyes. But neither of the two bad figured on stern Judge Waltham. He sat down In an unpleasant frame of mind. His wife had presented him with some exorbitant bills that morning; had given him weak, dish water-like cofTee for breakfast-; and coming down on the snbway be had perused a scathln* newspaper arraignment of the reckless younger generation. So. after Danny had mildly stated the case against Jenny. Judge Waif ham screwed op his face and said sourly: "One hundred dollars or thirty days Ml Jail. I'm going to make an exam pie of some of you mad young women.' He looked a trifle stunned as Jennie Jauntily replied: "Thanks, Judge; if you don't, mind. I'll take the thirty days in Jail. There's a young man on your force i want to get better acquainted with. You don't mind If 1 send home for^a stack of books and magazines, do you--or must I windows and clean the Jail?" •• ; TIm,Banco club was entertained in the home of Mrs. Wm- McCannon Thursday afternoon.

Eight years ago the need for a censorship pro-, gram for appliances sold in Public Service Stores was recognized. Too many appliances were being tpsfaed jfr maikct befocc tbey vwere perfcae^- f the laboratory. Its vibration is studied. The speed of its parts is observed: Its insulation resistance is tested. Its motor efficiency is checked at several voltages SidRight now' there is a washer in the laboratory that uses too much current the first minute it is switched on. Unless the manufacturer can correct this, the machine will never, be sold in Public Service Stores.

Before any piece of gas or electric equipment is stocked in Public Service Stores ---whether it is a tiny fuse plug or a househCtting boiler--it enters the laboratory "agi suspicion." Its performance is carefully checked under a variety of conditions. Unless every test is passed, it is rejected. Last year 125 importam new appliances were submitted to the testing laboratory. Afttarf their probation period, less than half of them were certified as satisfactory for sale. The reft were returned to their manufacturers with specific recommendations for improvement , Safety and efficiency are die major points the laboratory considers. But usefulness to the housewife is also checked by the Company's home service department. Appliances are put to work under practical every-day conditions to see whether they bring the promised convenience. . The Public Service Company values the confidence of its customers. Through its policy of recommending only the highest* tyge of appliances (appliances that it can back up with a liberal guarantee), it is trying to help customers make the best possible use of the electricity and gas they aremehting. .
