Much Of the business OF a detective
IS extremely prosaic- There are rou-

larger cities the routine is well esrab-

practically the entire body OF men may
be put on mystery. One squad is
detailed TO visit the pawnshops every
day and look over the pledges in
search Of articles reported lost or
stolen; others are assigned to the rail-

HOBBLE SKIRT NEARLY
CAUSES GIRLS DEATH

Morristown, Aug. 18:-Pierson
Little, Of Ridgedale avenue, this
town, and John Montieth, of Troy
Hills, both Morristown high school
boys, saved the lives of two young
women at Cedar Lake, near DenvilIe,
yesterday afternoon. Miss Vivian
Moore, Of California, who is visiting
Miss Davenport at Morris Plains, was
spending the day at the lake with
friends and went out in a canoe with
Little.
Learning to swim with the aid of
water wings was Miss Gladys Shea,
of Madison. One Of the wings burst
and she sank. Coming to the surface
again Miss Shea screamed for help.
Little was nearby in the canoe and
he jumped into the lake and swan
to Miss Shea's rescue. His sudden
exit from the canoe overturned the
craft and Miss Moore was thrown
into the water. She was wearing a
hobble skirt, and. though a good
swimmer, this hampered her move
ments so that she was unable to help
herself.
Little reached Miss Shea in time
70 prevent neT going uOWH lot tne
third time, and grasping her hair
assisted her to the bank. Montieth
was on shore, and when he saw Miss
Moore's plight he jumped in the
water and swan to her rescue. Miss
Moore had gone down twice before
he reached her. Both the young
women were taken to a nearby bun
galow and were soon none the worse
for their experience. Miss Moore
declares that never again will she
wear a hobble skirt when she goes
canoeing.

DECISION RESERVED

Trenton. Aug. 18:-In the City
District Court yesterday one of the
points which had to be decided by
Judge Dixon was whether a chicken
only two days old is able to jump
over a ten or twelve inch board.
Mrs. Julia Holbauer, prOprietress of
a hatchery near Hopewell, was suing
Isadore and Lawrence Meyer, of
the same vicinity for a balance said
to be due her for handling 1900
eggs from the defendants farm.
Lawrence Meyer was counsel for
himself and said that of the 1900
eggs he received only $40 chicks
and the stock was not OF the variety
that his eggs had been. 1t was in
this connection that he attempted
TO show that the chickens were pos
sibly not prevented from jumping
out of the incubator yards and others
permitted to jump back into their
places. Decision was reserved.
