ONE OF THE
GREAT CONTESTS

One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the track meet to be held by
the B. A. A. at Tumbling Dam Park
on May 3lst, will be the race between
Giordano of Vineland, the great little
Italian runner; Joseph Orr, of Wood
side A. A, and R. Boultinghouse, of
the B. A. A.
A special interest has been added
to the meet in that Atkinson, of the
Pennington school athletes, is entered
as one of the many unattached run
ners in the foregoing event.
These men are all milers of some
note and their entrance will make for
a good race
The Gouldtown A. A. are coming in
to the meet with well trained rur-
ners and the addition of these colored
athletes will add much to the interest.
Their entrance means that the Could
town crowd are going to try hard to
take away their portion of the tro-
phies.
Much comment has been caused by
the apparent lack of interest on the
part of the High School athletes. Earl
Shoemaker, the fast little miller, is
the only man who has turned out
from the unattached High School in
terests. There ought toebe many en-
tries from this source, in that very
good showings were made at the
County School meet, and the only rea-
son that seems plausible is that these
athletes must fear being outclassed.

DEAD
BY THE FIRE

Early last evening the family of
Gotlieb Gosman, 20 years old, living
at Cox's Corner, went out for awhile.
and when they departed Mr.. Gosman
was sitting by the. fire. When the
family returned Mr.. Gosman was still
sitting in the chair, apparently COM
Portable, but when the family called
to him there was no answer from the
elderly man, and an investigation
showed that he had died as he sat
there, his heart failing him and he
had passed over without the slightest
struggle,
Mr.. Gosman was a veteran of the
late war, enlisting very young and
serving more than three years. He
has a son, Charles Gosman, the liv-
eryman, living in Bridgeton.

new INDUSTRY

Clayton, n. j., May 1.-THE prom
ised industrial boom here is beginning
to look like real thing to business
men and property owners in view of
the operations going ahead for the
opening of the extensive plant of the

"A few preliminary arrangements are
yet to be completed before work starts
said Mayor Potter, in discussing the
project. Mayor Potter said that from
information he has received, the chemi-

the plant will turn out materials for
the manufacture of powder, as was at
first rumored.

SCHOOL SCOPE
is ENLARGED

Trenton, May 16.-The public
schools of the State are to have an
opportunity of extending their prac-
tical educational work through a plan
OF cooperation announced today by
the New Jersey Museum. The plan
is to aid the schools in conducting
stereopticon lectures on subjects re-
lating particularly to this State and
Its development and resources, the
State Museum to supply the slides for
the lectures.
5. R. Morse, Curator of the Mus
cum, stated today that the Commits
sloners of the Museum have purchased
z,o0O fine stereopticon lantern slides,
practically all of them beautifully col
ored. These slides are to be furnished
gratis to any public school desiring
to use them, the school merely paving
the cost of transportation. Curator
Morse suggests to the Commissioners
some time ago the establishment of
this Stereopticon Slide Bureau as a
part OF the Museum work, to aid the
schools in illustrating lectures in
school work. This suggestion was
unanimously approved and Mr.. Morse
was Instructed to formulate plans and
to make such a collection of slides as
he, the State Department of Instruc-
tion and other Departments thought
best AS the result, the Museum now
has this fine collection of $500 slides
with which to inaugurate this advance
step.
Some of the suggestions covered by
the slides are the modern transporta-
ton of pupils to and from schools,
comparison of school houses of years
ago with the fine modern buildings;
slides illustrating such school studies
as physical geography, history, liter
ature, primary school work, etc.;
manufactures and Industries of New
Jersey; birds and animals of the
State; New Jersey forestry; the geol-
ogy of the State and SO on.
The slides have been listed and
numbered. and catalogue is be
prepared. The entire collection of
slides will be ready for use in the
schools by September 1.

JUDGE CAVE
DECISION

Judge Leroy w. Loder yesterday
filed his decision in the case of John
P. Coronoes, ct. al, partners, &C.,
appellees VS.. Nicholas Magaldo, appel
liant.
This is an appeal taken by Magaldo
to judgment entered by default be-
fore Justice w. Fred Ware, of Mill
vile. Harry o. Burt represented Ma
galdo while A. w. Kaufman ap-
peared for ex-Judge Harrison H. Voor-
hees, of Camden, who represented
Coronoes Brothers.
On the calling of the appeal on May
&, Mr.. Burt moved as for a non-suit.
This was opposed and upon leave au-
thorities were submitted upon which
Judge Loder yesterday based his de-
cision.
The decision overrules a precedent
which had prevailed in this county
and which could not be substantiated
by the cases of the Supreme Court.
The court of Common Pleas having
jurisdiction may retry the case on its
merits. The question was purely a
technical one as to whether the mat
ter of a defective summons could he
heard upon appeal or whether such
matter was only proper in certiorari;
the latter was held.

MODERN RIP VAN WINKLE
Comes Back After Seven Years of
Sleep-Elected to Office

Tarrytown, n. Y, March 1S.-Hy-
man Levy, after being asleep for seven
years, like Rip Van Wrinkle came back
into his own Sleepy Hollow Tuesday,
when he was elected trustee of the vii.
lage of North Tarrytown.
Eight years ago, Levy who was one
of the leading politicians and most
widely known business man In North
Tarrytown, had his leg injured. He
worried so much about it that his mind
became blank. He did not know his
most intimate friends during all those
years, until one day last summer he
asked to go camping with his sons.
While at the camp his mind cleared,
he grew stronger and in a few weeks
he was his old self.
At the recent election he got up his
own ticket, to show the inhabitants
that he could "come back" like Rip
Van Wrinkle. When the results were an
nounced Levy and his ticket had won
by big majority.

WE'LL DENIES BRIBE OFFER
Pittsburgh Attorney Testifes in West

Wheeling, w. Va, March 1S-A. Leo
We'll, chief counsel for the Manufac-
turers Light and Heat Company, took
the stand yesterday in the hearing be-
fore a special master of the appeal of
the company from an order reducing
it's rates.
He denied that he had ever author
lied an offer of money to members OF
the West Virginia Public Service Com
mission to testify in the present appeal
and said he had not authorized Charles
D. Elliott or Guy Biddinger, detec-
tive to offer rewards to Commissioners
H. N. Ogden and G. H. Bronson after
the commission had ordered the reduc-
tion in rates. We'll said he had en-
ployed Elliott, former State Adjutant
General, and Biddinger to get admis-
sions from the commissioners after FL
liott told him he could do so. He ac-
cused Biddinger of double-crossing"
him and revealing conversations with
the, commissioners to Governor II. D.
Hatfield. -

HAVE DARK HAIR
And LOOK YOUNG
Don't Stay Gray! Nobody Can Tell
When You Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea and Sulphur

Grandmother kept her hair beautiful
ly darkened, glossy and abundant with
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. By asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui.
phur Compound, you will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to
use, for about so cents. This simple
mixture can be depended upon to re-
store natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff.. dry,
itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied-it's so easy to use, too.
You simply dampen comb or soft
brush and draw it through your hair,
taking one strand at time. BY morn
ing the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is restored
to its natural color and looks glossy,
soft and abundant.-Adv.

WIFE CHATTEL OF SPOUSE
Latter Entitled to Her Earnings, Says
New York State Judge

New York, March 1S.-A husband
is entitled to all his wife's earnings
unless he makes a contract with her to
the contrary, Supreme Court Justice
Morschauser so decided at White
Plains yesterday. The action which
brought forth the decision was one to
set aside transfer of property, 81
Riverdale avenue, Yonkers, from An
Dire to Mary Hopke, on the ground that
the transfer was made to defraud the
creditors of Andre.
Hopke alleged his wife worked for
several years, earning enough to pur'
chase the property in question. For
convenience sake, he alleged, the title
to the property was taken in his name.
When he got into financial difficulties
he transferred the property to his wife,
alleging that, as it was her money,
earned by her, that had bought it, the
property belonged to her. The court
ruled: "fUnless there is specific
agreement or contract between them.
allowing the wife to engage in sep
arate business and keep her earnings,
the husband is always entitled to all
of the earnings of his. wife as well as
her services during marriage.
