He has recently been ill. The church sent a copy of the res: lution to the superintendent of the Baltimore Conference of the echurch, who declareq it was the first time he had ever hixwd of a church refusing to _recognize a suspension. Following the order of suspension, Dr. Herson filed in the civil court suits for $100.000 against each of the two pas- tors who had signed the charges against him. The suits alleged s'ander. It was alleged that he had placed his arm around a woman parichioner whil: pastor of a Ealtimore church In an interview after the service to- day Dr. Herson said, “If this be tr for me to stand by a church that stan. by me 100 per cent, then the chur authorities will have to make the mos of it.” No mention of the charges was made at the service today. 100,000 Years Away.

Judy said slowly, “that that is all dead. It's been dead a very long time. But I didn’t know for sure until—until my baby died and he didn't care. I thought I loved Stan, but I guess all I loved was romance. Byron was all wrong when he said that a woman only loved a man in her first love, and after that all sh> loved was love. It's the other way around. I loved the idea of Stan choosing me. . . . I loved all the things Stan stood for, without knowing it mean. He was some one new—he was handsome and wealthy, and he ad: » the boys I'd known all my life lo commonplace. After that I was gradu- ally disillusioned.

GEORGE WASHINGTON THE MOST WONDERFUL TRAIN IN THE WORLD * AIR COOLED AND CONDITIONED THROUGHOUT IN SERVICE SUNDAY, APRIL 21 General Washington was not only the Father of Our Country. He was also the Father of Transportation in America. Over the Allegheny Mountains he projected the Midland Trail to connect the colonies of the Atlantic Seaboard with the out- posts of the Mississippi Valley. Then, when the James River Company was organized in 1782 for a similar purpose, General Washington became its first President and was one of its original stockholders. In 1879 the James River Company was absorbed by the Rich- mond and Allegheny Railroad Company, which in 1890 became one of the important links in the Chesapeake and Ohio System. IN CO-OPERATION WITH Thus the fine, fast trains of the C. & O. realize in fullest meas- ure the 150-year-old dream of General Washington. They trav- erse the routes he laid out, and join the two areas as he planned. Therefore, to George Washington, our first President, we pay honor in this great Bi-Centennial year and express our pride in his part in the early development of the Chesapeake and Ohio. We are doing this by creating, to bear his name, the most wonderful train in the world; air cooled and conditioned throughout, and with a host of other surprises.
