STARTED HoMINa PIGEONS
Eleven Liberated Sunday at Local
Station

l.. @. Nichols of the local express
Office liberated eleven homing pigeons
Sunday at the local railroad station
at 8:l5. The pigeons were received
here late Saturday night from l.. G,
Dorr of the Homing Pigeon club OF
Manchester, N. H., with instructions
to liberate them Sunday morning.
The pigeons when released rose I'm
mediately into the air and began to
circle at a considerable height. AT
ter a short time the pigeons began to
fly eastward 1t is about one hundred
miles to Manchester, NJ H., in a
straight line, distance which the
birds can easily cover In short
time.
Clubs are quite often formed In lar
ger towns for the breeding Of the pig
cons and the express company officials
are frequently called upon to liberate
the birds in long distance contests.
The force Of the local express office
has never before been called upon to
act as official starters however. The
birds all had small brass tags with
numbers attached to the left leg.

New Highway Not Accepted.

The Hunterdon County Board of
Chosen Freeholders received word
last week from the State Road Com
mission that II would not accept the
new macadam road from White House
to Lebanon, distance OF about five
miles. This is the thoroughfare built
OF trapite. which was accepted some
time ago by the county board, regard
less OF the fact that over 10 taxpavara
signed petition requesting the board
not to accept the road until il had
been put In shape by the contractors
ihe action was taken because the
road, which was built last summer
mas not worn well and has broken I'm
badly IN many places, especially at
potterstown. Residents along the
line were of the opinion that the con.
tractors should be made to remaav
the defects before the highway was
formally accepted by the county. Tho
board retained 10 per cent. of the con !.
tract price for the purpose of COM
pe'iing the contractors to put the road
IN shape. Since the State Board has
taken the matter up and refuse to ac-
cert the road II will now be up to the
contractors to make it good before
they can collect for their work.

NEW WHISTLE.

TIL Lambertvile Rubber Co. has
| installed new whistle known as the
"chime" whistle. This is the ouIy
one of the kind in this neighborbood.
The whistle part is 10 inches long aud
INCHES in diameter.
The peculiar merit of this whistle
consists in producing three distinct
tones pitched to the first, third end
fifth of the common musical scale,
which haImonize and give nm agree
able musical chord.
1t IN more penetrating than the
common whistle, aud can be heard at
greater distance. 1t effectually OBJ
viates the harsh. disagreeable noise
which has been source of common
complaint in other whistles and gongs.
Many of the larger sizes of this
whistle are in use on the largest
Transatlantic steamships, cruisers aud
light-ships OF the Government of the
United States; on factories, RAILROAD
shops, aud III connection with fire de-
partments.

EARLY PENSIONS.

As new pension bill is now before
Congress, it will be of interest to know
that the foundation of our present pen
sion system is older than the Declara-
ton of Independence The first Ma
tional Pension law was passed August
26, l776. In 1886 the Pilgrims at Ply
mouth enacted in their courts that any
man sent forth as soldier and return
ing manned, should be maintained by
the colony during his lifetime. After
the union of Massachusetts, and Ply
mouth Colonies under the charter of
1891. the Province made provision for
the relief of disabled soldiers out of the
Public Treasury. In 1914 the Virgin
ia Assembly passed a Disability Pen
sion law, and later provision for the re-
lief of families of soldiers who should
be slain. In IT'S Rhode Island enact
ed Pension Law. The above shows
that the custom of pensioning soldiers
is as old as the English settlement.
The first national pension law, that of
August 26, promised half pay for life
to every officer, soldier or sailor losing
a limb. On August "a, 1850, a resolu-
ton was adopted extending the above
at half pay to the widows or orphan
children of such soldiers as had died
or should die in the service. This was
the first pension law in behalf of wild
ows and orphans. On April 90, 1882.
Congress provided that soldiers who
were sick or wounded or unfit for duty,
should receive discharge and be pen
stoned at the rate of S. per month. 1t
is further shown that history is repeat
ing itself as Congress was as unable at
that time as at the present to enact
pension laws that were in all respects
satisfactory to the masses.
