Twenty-six thousand dollars go-

That's out on 25th-st and the

st to Lake Worth.
A year ago City Hall had a one- 1
inch surface of Uvalde rock as-.

Th* tracks are now so loose,
he says, that they would quickly
cause she shattering of the sur-

The carline, leading to Rosen
Heights, was built with old rails
obtained from the Fort Worth &
Denver City railroad, it is said.
In places on 25th-st the sur-
facing is cracked and broken from
curb to curb. In some spots it
bulges up, in others it sinks down.

furrows in the paving have been
cut by the movement of the tracks

Harding Pleads Cause-
Of Old Time Religion ‘
It all preachers of the coun-
try would follow the lean being
set by the president, there is
no telling what wave of relig-
ious fervor might not grow out
of Harding's evangelistic ef-
forts. «
The president is honestly con-
vinced that he personally needs
the old time religion about
which the Methodists sing. He
is not ashamed of being re-
ligious, Md he sincerely wishes
that the American people would
get back to the old spiritual
plane upon which lived the men
who founded the Republic.
Upon that plane Harding be-
lieves the nntion will find calm-
ness, strength, purification Md
renewed faith.
