Society Men TO Be Clowns
for Open-Air Schools Aid

PLAINFIELD, April 15-Plans are
being completed for Plainfields first
first society circus" to be held Mon
day, May 4. The proceeds will go to
the Tuberculosis Leagues open
air school.
A large number of local people will
take part. A performance will be
given by Frank A. Robbins's circus,
which has been engaged to exhibit
on that date. Instead of the profess
sional clowns, bankers, etc, their
places will be filed by well-known
Plainfeld persons.
Every one in Plainfield is more or
less familiar with the work of the
open-air school Through its equip
ment and teaching about forty chill
dren have been put well on the road
to recovery, and they are going out
to teach others in their families how
to avoid the white plague. The school
is the most important branch of work
of the Anti-Tuberculosis League, and
unless the funds are raised within a
few weeks to continue it will have
to be stopped at the end of the pres
ent school year.
George Nj. Holstein, chairman of
the finance committee of the league;
James Murray, treasurer; G. T. Ell
lott, Lewis G. Timpson, c. Board
man Tyler, Frederick e. Moffatt,
Harry w. Marshall John Boyd Pot
ter and Leslie r. Fort are the insti-
gators of the circus plan. Mr. Fort
was chosen as chairman of the circus
committee, haWng conducted the
show at Spring Lake last summer.
The women who comprise the
school committee have enthusiast
| tically Endorsed the project, urging
that it be proceeded with. They have
agreed to take over the sale of
| tickets, in addition to those which
will be placed on public sale at q
later date during the week
| Provisions have been made for
twentyfour boxes seating four each,
at both the matinee and night per-
Torrance, and there will be plenty of
reserved seats, in addition to the reg
ular general admission seats.
| The Robbins Show has been win
| tering at the State Fair Grounds,
Trenton, and will not leave there for
( two weeks yet, having but about
seven show dates before being in
Plainfield, so that everything will be
bright and new for the local show.
The show has been fully re-equipped
with tents this year, and as a result,
no matter what the weather, 1t can
be watched by all spectators in COM

"Juanita'' a Love Song
of Fifty Years Ago

In that soft twilight, or as the
deeper shadows gather, the song of
"Juanita" always seems to soothe.
The gifted authoress OF this popular
song was Mrs. Norton, grand
daughter of the famous Richard
Br!nsley Sheridan, born in England
In 1908. She married young, but it
proved an unhappy union, and a di-
vorce suit followed, in which the
composer of "Juanita" indicated
herself and led in a crusade against
the almost barbaric disabilities which
English law and practise then i'm
posed upon an English wife, becom-
ing virtually the founder of the mill
tant suffrage movement In England
today Her songs of "Bingen on the
Rhine" and "Juanita" were the most
popular She died in 1877, and lived to
hear the echoes of her plaintive
"Juanita" come to her from nearly
every civilized country In the world.
This celebrated melody is to be
found in Heart Songs unrival-
ed song collection now placed before
IT'S readers by this paper-at prac-
tically the cost of printing. The cou-
pom elsewhere in today's, issue ex-
plains the generous offer.

THREE OVERCOME
At STRAUS FIRE
Firemen Battle Blaze in
Smoke-FilIed Basement of
Department Store.

Three f1remen were overcome by
smoke late last night while fighting a
stubborn fire in the cellar of the
David Stratus Company's store at 6S54
6S7 Broad street. After battling for
forty-five minutes in the smoke-filled
cellar the fire was under control. The
store proper was not damaged by
fire, but smoke found its way from
the cellar, How the Ire started IS
not known.
Hundreds of homegoers watched
the spectacle of volcanolike streams
of smoke pour out of the coal holes
in the sidewalk and through other
outlets made by the fire hatchets
while the f1remen were working in
the inferno Of burning paper and
wood. After time four begrimmed
figures were dimly seen bringing out
the unconscious form of Fireman An
thony Haggerty, of Engine Company
No. 2. He was finally revived by.
Department Surgeon Hugh Hart and
was just able to totter to his feet
when Fireman Peter O'Brien, of No.
/ Truck, was brought up by his COM
rades He also recovered under the
treatment of Dr. Hart. When the
blaze was practically extinguished
Lieutenant Darcie Van Volkenburgh,
'jr., of No. Engine, had to be. ass
sisted to the street. ~ 80
The blaze started from unknown
causes in the paper bin. located
under the Broad street sidewalk The
Waterman, Jacob Rounder, of 1872
Jackson street, was on the top floor
when he noticed the light of the
flames through the glass gratings,
and as he hurried downstairs pedes-
trians knocked at the door, attract
ing the attention of Charles Els-
worth and Arthur Hauck, who were
working on the first floor.
Haucl1 sent in the alarm while
Ellsworth shut the fire doors lead-
ing to the other parts of the cellar.
The damage to the building is esti-.
mated at $500. What loss was caused
by smoke and to the stock rooms in
the basement could not be figured

"The Award of Justice"

Horace Clark, a young evangelist
in a wild Western town, is well liked
for his pleasant manner and splendid
physical prowess by the majority of
the inhabitants. His life is interest
ing and happy until he happens to
reform Tim Downs, leader of the
worst element of gangsters. Tim and
his wife Mary are most grateful to
the young SKY pilot" but the gang
is cut to the quick and decides on
vengeance.
One night Horace is waylaid by a
villainous assault. and in the scrim-
mage one of the gang is killed. Hor-
ace is arrested. His lawyer brother,
Arthur defends him, but he is con-
vlcted on the perjured testimony of
Rat one of the gangsters, and sent
to prison.
The Downs help him to escape, and
he goes away into the mountains.
Here he almost starves until he is
rescued by Hale, a mountaineer, who
takes him to his cabin, where ne is
fed and tenderly cared for. Hale's
daughter Hester is very kind to him,
and the two young people become
great friends. Horace discovers that
Hale is a moonshiner, and pleads
with him to give up the Illicit BUSH
ness. So effective are his appeals
that at last the old man consents,
but in destroying the liquor on hand
he accidentally sets fire to it, and
meets a sudden and tragic death.
This precipitates the romance. and
Horace and Hester are soon married
and living happily tucked away in
their snug mountain home.
One day, years after, the RAT"
who has become a prominent poll
tician by now, is hunting in the
mountains, and finds Horace. whom
he recognizes Immediately as the es-
capped prisoner, and determines to
send him back TO Jail. Horace is
conscious of the recognition, and he
and his wife are distracted by fear.
The RAT" has sought out the
local Justice of the peace, none other
than Horace's brother Arthur, to
whom he tells his tale. Arthur says
he knows the man-though not ex-
planning the relationship between
them--and denies that he is the per-
son whom the rat" thinks he is.
To prove this he accompanies the pol
itician to Horace's home, looks close
ly at his brother. and then declares
to the Rat" you're quite mis-
taken. This mountaineer is not the
escaped prisoner you suspected he
was" The baffled politician departs
apologetically, and Arthur, with a
warm handclasp, returns to the
town, happily conscious of his sue
cess in saving his brother this time,
though he had failed at first.
