Other interesting facts concerning
Perth Amboy as an industrial centre
are that il has the largest makers OF
terra Gotta in the world. two metal
refineries. treating aearly half OF the
copper produced in this country; the
only tin-smelting plant in the United
States, the only vaseline factory and
the only electrolytic tin refinery in
the world. Six thousand dozen hand
kerchiefs are made in Perth Amboy
every working day and more than
million cigars are manufactured every
week. A plant Of the best known paw
ing company on earth and one Of the
largest cable works In America are
also in the town. All of the terra
Gotta that went into the Woolworth
Building and in the new Equitable

in Perth Amboy. Nearly all of the
plants mentioned have made extensive
additions in the last two years, and
several new plants have been located
in the city in that time, so that

Harrisburg Will Probably
Be on Ocean to Ocean Aerial
Highway; Flight Sept. z
Special to the Telegraph

New York, May 16.-The transcon-
tinental aeroplane competition, for
which prizes have been offered by the
Aero Club of America and individuals
interested in aeronautical development,
will start from New York on September
?. No definite decision has been reach
ed as to the route, but it was said the
aerial highway probably will be laid
out through Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh. by way either of Baltimore and
Washington, or Harrisburg.
From Pittsburgh the route may fol-
low the Lincoln highway through Can
ton, Mansfield, Lima, Ohia, and Fort
wayne, Ind, or swing northward
through Cleveland. Toledo and South
BEND to Chicago. From Chicago the
route probably will run through st.
Louis; thence through Kansas City and
several Oklahoma towns, or through
Arkansas to Dallas Fort Worth, Waco,
Austin and San Antonio, Texas.
From San Antonio to El Paso the
fiers will proceed within sight of the
Rio Grande, and thence westward along
the Mexican border, through Texas
and Yuma, Ariz., and by way of San
Diego, Cal, to Los Angeles, and pos
sibly, San Francisco.

Tiiniest Witness in
Court Offers a Kiss
Between Steel Bars

The tiniest witness caused the only
tears in yesterdays session of sentence
court.
She was a very small person in a
frilly white gown and big pink hair
ribbons and she accompanied her
mother, plaintiff in a nonsupport case.
Where the father was, didn't develop
until just before the judges appeared.
1t remained for the small witness to
find him and her discovery caused
many a handkerchief to flutter into
action among some of the women
spectators. The little girl spied her
father behind the steel fence of the
prisoners cage, toddled over to him,
then stretched tiny arms between the
bars:
"Tiss me, favver!" invited the
smallest witness.
Nearly a dozen defendants who
pleaded guilty to various charges were
sentenced. These included: William
Newman, larceny of lead, SIS fine and
four months in Jail; Charles Geesey,
assault and battery on mother-in- law
S15 fine and costs; James z. Blair
an Indian, robbing Fort Hunter post
office and Charles Sands, larceny OF
two bicycles, committed to Hunting
don Reformatory; John Radovic, as
sault and battery on Thomas ]. Mul-
doom, SIS fine; James Colbert
charged with stealing chickens, and
Roger Polston, charged with stealing
lead pipe, were released on their own
recogniZance.

D. P. & S. Store InstaIls
New Fresh Air System

Recently. the Dives, Pomeroy & Stew
art department store installed a fresh
air or ventilating system for the COM
fort of their employees and patrons,
which overcomes foul air, humidity, and
oyerheated room conditions.
The equipment consists of full
housed Conoidal fan, of multiblade con-
struction, connected to ducts which dis
tribute the air equally throughout the
basement OF the building; the ducts are
controlled by quadrant dampers, so that
the supply of air may be used as de-
sired.
The equipment has capacity of sup
plying $4,000 cubic feet of air per
minute, which will make a complete
change of air throughout the basement
every twelve and one-half minutes. or
five changes of air per hour. Fresh air
is drawn through a brick stack extend
ing from the basement to twelve feet
above the roof of the building, passing
through set of heater coils, which in
winter time is tempered so as to carry
a normal temperature throughout the
building. In summer time the tempera
ture below the outside temperature.
tuTe.
The PATRONS of the Dives, Pomeroy &,
Stewart department store Will find that
the installation of this system will
add greatly to their comfort while
shopping.

UNIFICATION OF
CHURCH ENDORSED
BY associated Press

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, May 16.--
The unification of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church and the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, South, was endorsed
almost unanimously by the Methodist
General Conference to-day.
The conference adopted the report
of the committee on unification, which
provides for further negotiations with
the southern church, paving the way
for hnal action by the general con-
ference of the southern church in 1918
and by the northern church's general
conference in 1920.
Ban on Dancing
The committee on episcopacy, TO
which was recommitted yesterday a
report recommending the election of
seven new bishops, reported to-day
that it was unable to comply with the
desire of some of the delegates for a
reduction in the number. In addition
to seven bishops the committee also
suggested the election of a missionary
bishop, to be located at Singapore,
Malay, Asia.
An attempt by Chancellor James r.
Day, of Syracuse University, and other
members of the general conference to
eliminate the clause which prohibits
Methodist Church members from play
ing cards, dancing and theater going
failed yesterday afternoon. when the
committee on the state of the church
decided by vote of 113 to 43 to rec
ommend to the conference the reten-
ton of the rule.
Notice was Immediately given that
the leaders for a freer Interpretation
of the rule will shift their fight to the
conference and will submit a minority
report. 1t is probable the delegates
will be requested to decide the ques-
ton before the end of the week.
