BURNING CANDLE SETS
JEWISH HOME AFlRE
Five Children Rescued From the
Blaze by the Frantic Father.

Five children were rescued from their
burning home, 227 Montrosc street, early
this morning, when fire was started by
candle burning in observance of the
Jewish feast days. The father received
deep cash in his wrist smashing a
window, and other injuries when he
jumped from the second floor window.
The blaze was in the home of Jacob
Flneberg. He and his wife and five chill
dren occupy the second floor. The third
floor was occupied by mis- son-in-law
Israel Greenberg, and the latter's wife.
Norris Kaplan, ZIG Montrose street dis
covered the fire on the first floor
Kaplan aroused the inmates of the
house by pounding on the door. Fineberg
tried to escape by the stairway, but find
ing his way blocked by smoke and flame

smashed the window with his fist The

came along just as Fineberg was about
to drop his children from the window.
Climbing a rain spout to the coping of
the adjoining house, Geventer took the
children fro mFineberg.
BY this time the smoke coming from
the first floor was so dense that Fineberg,
his wife and the two remaining children
were driven from the front window. The
children and their mother We're assisted
to the roof of shed in the rear by Fine
berg, who then became excited and rum
ming to the front second-story window,
jumped out. He was taken to the Penn
sylvania Hospital in the automobile OF
Fire Chief Murphy.
Firemen found the entire first floor OF
the dwelling in flames when they arrived,
but managed to prevent the spread of the
fire TO the upper floors. The candle. left
burning on the table in celebration of
the Hebrew holidays, had burned down

MAN WITH SHEARS CLIPS
BRAID OF SCHOOL GIRL

Feels Tug at Hair and Turns as Man
Flees.
Terrorzed girls and women who have
been made victims of q man who clips
their hair, are again fearful Of an at
tack from the vandal who has now
made his appearance in Germantown.
The latest victim of his shears is
Gertrude Wonder, 15-year-old school
girl. who resides at 6211 Germantown
avenue. She was approached last Mon
day evening by tall, slender stranger,
on Germantown avenue, near Herman
street, who clipped 6-inch braid from
her hair before she was aware of IT.
The girl was on the way to visit
friends. She felt tug at her hair, and,
turning, heard the shears drop to the
sidewalk as the man who welded them
ran up the street Her braid was lying
near the shears.
Miss Wonder became hysterical and
ran home. When her father accom-
panied her to the scene of the attack
neither hair nor shears were to be seen.
special policemen from the German
town station are investigating the case.
Ihey have full description Of the
clipper, and 1t Is thought his arrest will
iollow soon. The police believe him to
DC tile same man who terrorized persons
IN various parts of the city some time
ago.

COURT EXTENDS PERIOD
OF AID TO MOTHERS
Fathers of Children Required to Pay
for Support Until ID Years Old.

Seeking to lessen the burdens of
mothers of dependent children and at
the same time protect the children and
the community, radical departure from
what has heretofore been the custom
of the courts in cases charging the
parentage of a child was the action of
Judge Bonniwell in the Municipal Court
today in increasing the period of sup
port by the father from years to II
years. The question of increased support
for illegtlmate children recently has res
ceived much attention from the Judges
of the Municipal Court and the District
Attorneys offices.
The Judges have been confronted with
cases IN which n mother, being compelled
TO assume tho entire burden of a child )
support after the first seven years. often
fails in her efforts and the child is sOmo-
times thrown upon public charity until it
reaches working age.
In three cases Judge Bonnwell ordered
accused fathers 20 pay weekly sums for
period of IA years for the childrens
support and in overruling the objections
of counsel said:
There is no law which limits the
period OF payment to seven years The
practice of making orders for that period
apparently Is based solely upon custom.
Ny experience in dealing with this class
as Solicitor for the Desertion Court con-
vinced me that II was a deplOrablc Gus
tom. deprivins the unfortunate woman
of support for her child at the very
period when its needs are actually most
onerous, The period of such an order
is entirely in the discretion of the court
1t is my judgment that such support
should be paid while the child is de-
pendent.
Under the broader wisdom Of legis-
lation, the law now compels this woman
to send her child TO school at the age
of and keep him there until II. Such
being the case IL seems to me a neces-
sary supplement to the school act that
the father or his parents should supply
the means for the mother to obey the
law"

i. u. S. AGENTS LOOK UP
RAISE IN FOOD PRICES
Special Inquiry in This Section Being
Made by Inspector williamson.

Special investigations into the recent
Jump in food prices in the section of
Philadelphia, Camden and nearby
towns which secure their supplies from
the Philadelphia markets, are now be-
Ing made by agents of the Department
of Justice, under Rush Williamson, spe-
cial agent of the department, who came
TO this city several weeks ago from
Washington.
Williamson was sent here Immediately
following the price increase of food
stuffs following the outbreak of the
European war. to work in connection
with the nationwide food investigation
ordered by the President. The work for
tho Philadelphia district Is being con-
ductcd by Assistant District Attorneys
John Fl. Hall and Edward S. Kremp.
Special attention Is being paid to the
prices in Camden. N. j., of foodstuffs
bought in the Philadelphia markets.
While no report on the work as far as
It has progressed is ready, it is UNDER

Special Agent Williamson to determine

suspected of being leaders in this hold

inkling Of the investigations going on. and
az result prices have dropped. No one
connected with the special investigation
would say whether any indictments were
likely to be sought by the Government
as the result of the investigation, but II
is believed that Williamson, who visited
WASHINGTON several days ago. will involve
certain Philadelphia firms who were in on
the grab, but who have since fought clear
OF any connection with the ring.
Attorney General Gregory. in directing
special attention to Camden prices on

The European war has cut off the sup

The oyster output for tho season il 10
be a record breaker, according 10 Phila-

which will not be affected by war prices
so Philadelphia housewives may take
comfort in the fact that there is to be a

tinue to soar, nourishing substitute at

Edgar T. Hill, one of the larger Phila-

that never I'm his experience had the re-
ports from the oysterbeds been so en-
couraging. Maurice River mediums and
large are plentiful and OF fine flavor.
while reports from the ChincoteaEue

that the output from that source may
exceed that OF previous years by from

"EVERYWOMAN."

SURPRISING in size and magnif-

been offered to the public in a travel
ing organization, Henry w. Savage's
immense production of the dramatic
spectacle, "Everywoman," which will
be disclosed at the Valentine Theatre,
Toledo, Friday and Saturday evenings
and Saturday Matinee, Dec. A and 8
stands alone. No other manager
would have attempted to present with
a travelling organization a spectacle
SO massive. Not a feature which was
fused with this production dur
ing its two years in New York
has been eliminated. In addition to
the one hundred and fifty people
which are required in the produc-
ton and to work the mechanical and
electrical effects, an entire symphony
orchestra is carried by the company.
The music, which was composed bv
George Whitefeld Chadwick, dean of
the New England Conservatory of
Music, of Boston, requires an intellig-
ent and careful rendering to bring out
all its beauties and only skilled must
clans, after weeks of strenuous re-
hearsal, r competent to play it. The
organization is equipped with an en-
tire train load of scenery and mechan-
ical effects. The company includes a
grand opera and a musical comedy
chorus, in addition to the large dra-
matte ensemble.
"Everywoman" is, in fact, a COM
mingling of the more attractive fea-
lures of opera, musical comedy and
drama. While it amuses and furnish
es entertainment which can be under
stood and enjoyed by anyone. it also
promulgates a moral lesson of ines
Unable value. Mothers, upon seeing
the play, have brought, their daugh-
tiers to it to impress on them a les
son they could not otherwise impart.

and have endorsed it in the most en-

as enthusiastic reception as it has

ton of this play in this city Mr..
Savage is offering a cast that includes
several of the creators of the differ
emit characters.
