Akron Men Narrowly Escape
Injury On Newark Road
Sunday

In some way losing control of the
car which he was driving to this city
about o'clock Sunday afternoon, an
Akron young man, whose name could
not be learned, accompanied by an
other young man from the rubber city
swung into a ditch opposite the Rus
sell Ash farm on the Newark road
several miles south of this city, dam
aging the machine, but escaping un.
hurt.
The men were evidently coming
down the slight grade which is just
north of the Ash farm when their car
careened into the ditch. AS it left the
road it struck a large telephone pole,
and the pole was broken off where
the heavy machine struck it,
The car was towed into this city
where an examination showed that
the tenders were badly bent and the
right front wheel had lost most of its
spolIes together with some of the
rim. Hhe men returned to Akron by
train Monday morning.

COE WRITES FROM
FRANCE; LOCAL BOY
LAUDS ARMY CA.
Says Experiences So Far Are
Highly Enjoyable; Men
Well Cared For

Mr.. and Mrs. William Coe, living
north of this city, received a letter
Monday from their son, Clinton Coe,
with the American eXpeditionary force
somewhere in France" The letter
was dated August 2S. Young Coe
wrote that so far he has nothing in the
way of complaints to make about his
life as a soldier, but that the boys
are well cared for, have good food
comfortable surroundings and are en-
joying themselves thoroughly.
The letter lauds the work of the
army Y. M. c., A., which Coe says is
supplying the boys with many COM
forts and recreations that they 9th
erwise would not be able to get.

First Woman Assumes Duties
In Local Shops
Monday
MAN SHORTAGE BRINGS
NEW OPPORTUNITIES
lnroads Of War Upon Ranks
Of Male Workers Give
Women A Chance

AT last the expected has happened.
Rumors from other and larger cities
have foretold Of its coming, but the
idea was not taken seriously until
few days ago, but now "it" is here, the
1T" in this case being the female
worker in the railroad shops. No long
er will workmen in the local car shops
care use their fayorite expression
when a hammer strikes a thumb in
stead of the rivet the blow was intend
ed for unless he looks around careful
ly to see if he is well cut of hearing of
the new ''workmen."
Monday marked the first time in the
history of the local car shops that
woman has entered the shops them
selves as an employee of the Pennsyl-
vana railroad. Several days ago the
officials of the company advertised for
women for light work at the shops
and Monday there were seven appli-
cants for positions. One of these wo-
men was assigned a Job" in the
store room and the others will proba-
bly, be hired within few days.
Local officials of the company said
Monday that 80 women could obtain
work at the shops, all the positions Of
fered being of the kind that women
could easily fill. The work pays 20
cents the hour for a nine-hour day
with only hve hours work on Satur-
day.
The fact that these positions are
opened to women, officials say, is be-
cause of the scarcity of men for the
work ewing to the entrance of so
many into the military service. For
this reason, men are being transferred
to work that could not be done by the
women and the lighter tasks are now
to be given to the girls.
At the local shops women may now
get employment cleaning engines, in
the store and supply rooms, in the tool
room and many other light duties.

The Wireless Wave.

In articles on wireless telegrnphy
such expressions as 200 meter wave
lengths. 600 meter wave lengths, 1900
meter wave lengths. are constantly
used. In reply to "A correspondent who
asks how the length Of the waves is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanations:
The length Of an electric wave is
determined by wave meter. The
natural wave length of an aerial is
four times its linear length, just as the
wave length Of note OF closed or
gan pipe is four times the length Of the
pipe. and the wave length of the note
of tuning fork is four times the
length Of the boz which is resonant
with the note. However, other consid-
erations make it difficult to measure
the wave length by a rule. and the
wave meter gives more correct result
than can be found by measuring the
length of the wire"

Economical Roasting.

The following will commend itself as
an inexpensive way OF roasting Il small
piece of mutton or beef without heat
ing the oven:
Place in saucepan large enough to
hold the meat chosen about cupful of
bacon dripping, lard or margarine.
Make this hot. place meat into 1t and
brown well on both sides. Then turn
gas Jet down very low and allow it to
cook until done. Three undivided
lamb chops done in this way require
one tcaspoonful Of cold water added to
the dripping before the chops are put
In or the meat might burn. But beef
does not need the addition of water, as
it is moist in itself. The chops take
about fifteen minutes to cook, one and
one-half pounds topside of beef little
longer When the meat is done put It
on the platter, pour away some of the
dripping and then make the gravy In
the usual way.
Parsnips, onions and other vegeta-
bles may be roasted in the same way.

Walter Beinhower Is Stabbed
In Lung By Roy

HAPPENS NEAR CREEK
SOUTH OF BRANDON
Wielder OF Knife Punctures
Own Leg; Both Will
Recover

BRANDON, Sept 24-After having
been "fun" to the edae of small
creek south of Brandon about z: 80 lost
night, when some young men we're
playing little joke on him, Roy Mar
tin turned on three of the young men
who were close to him, drew a large
jackknife from his pocket, II Is said,
and slashed at the one in the middle,
who was Walter Beinhcwer, the sen Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Beinhower, who
reside south Of Brandon on the Bran
dcn-Homer road. BeinhoWer's condi-
ton is. serious.
About eight young men who reside
in or near this village were playing a
joke on Martin, whose mind is said
to be bit deranged They ran" him
to the creek and then three of the
young men, of whom Beinhower was
one, came closer to him than the rest.
Beinhower, being in the center of the
group, made a lunge for Martin and

lung, the left leg and on both arms.
When Martin began cutting to the
right and left with his sharp pocket
knife, the two boys who were with
Beinhower deserted him and he was
left alone with Martin. In one swing
which he made at Beinhower, Martin is
said to have inflicted large and deep
cash in his own right leg.
When Martin finally stopped his ac-
tions, both of the young men were TAX
en- to two different physicians, DR.. S.
e. Deeley of Mt, Vernon and DR.. Yoa-
sum of Homer.
Thomas Harrad, Clyde Winland and
a young man by the name of Thomp-
son secured an automobile and brought
Martin to Mt. Vernon where his injury
was attended and Carl Whissen of
Homer, who was here, took Beinhow-
er to Homer to DR.. Yoakum.
Monday Beinhower was little better.
All of the gashes were unusually deep,
the one in his right lung being consid-
cred the most serious. DR.. Yoakum,
despite the gashes, expects Beinhow-
er to recover unless infection or some
thing unlocked for sets in.
1t was necessary for Beinhower to
remain in his bed Monday on account
of the wounds which were inflicted by
the sharp knife.

Indian rock, in Fairmount park. Phil
adelphia, the landmark along the Wis
sahickon, is SO called because of the
figure of Teddyuscung upon it. Ted
dyuscunS was king of the Delawares
ana powerful chief in the Six Ma
tions. The rock on which this statue
stands was long known as the Council
rock, and there the last council of the
Lenape tribe was held in 1903, before
their departure for the Wyoming reser-
vation. According to the legend, Ted
dyuscung took his last look over the
Wissahickon ravine from this rock. A
wooden figure of an Indian was placed
on the rock In 1886. This remained
until replaced in 1903 by the present
figure, the gift of Charles f. Henry Of

New Pastor Of NJ. P. Church
Makes Powerful Address
Sunday Morning
BIBLICAL PARALLEL OF
CONFERENCES WORK
Story Of Choice OF First King
For Israel Is
Told

Rev. ID. C. Coburn preached his in
itial sermon at the local NJ. p. church
Sunday morning. Rev. Coburn was as
signed to the local pastorate by the
Muskingum conference in session here
about two weeks ago, coming here
from Toronto, where Rev. Ford, for
merly pastor of the local church, also
rontO church Sunday.
Rev. Coburn read for the Scripture
lessen the Biblical account of Gods ap-
pointment of Saul as the first king
over the children of Israel and his
anointment by Samuel. Taking his
text from this the minister preached
a powerful sermon, the keynote of
which was service.
Saul, he declared, was a man espec-
tally fitted for leader of men and
one whA met favor in Gods sight for
that reason. when Gods work needs
a leader" said Rev. Coburn, 81 be-
lieve He finds the right man and puts
him to work"
After telling of Sauls submission to
the will of God after being anointed,
Rev. Coburn referred to the modern
re-enactment of the appointment OF the
first~leader of Christian people, which
he showed in the recent conference
where minister, or leaders, We're chos.
en- and assigned to pastorates which
perhaps they would have preferred to
have avoided. owing to a strong de-
sire to remain where they had been
stationed, but this being impossible,
they readily assumed their new duties
and carried On their work despite the
disappointment.
In closing, he said that the trading
of pastorates by himself and Rev.
Ford" had been the result of lengthy
deliberations during the conference
and that while both Rev. Ford and
himself would have been well content
to have retained their former pastor
ates they each bowed to the decision
of the conference, believing that to do
so would tend to the further advance
ment of their work.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
OBERLIN BUSINESS COLLEGE

The fall term at the Oberlin Busi
ness college has opened with a large
increase in attendance over last year
in fact the largest attendance for many
years. This is all the more remarkable
since colleges all over the country are
having a decrease in attendance be-
cause of the war conditions and this
indicates something of the great rep
utation this school has gained for
sending out well-trained bookkeepers,
stenographers, secretaries and teach
ers.
The second fall term will open on
November 3, but students may enter
the business department at any time
Many calls for commercial teachers
have been received the past few
weeks from high schools and business

Cut Glass Is FRAGILE.

Cut glass probably would break more
easily than uncut pattern glass. The
pattern in cut glass is cut by means
OF grinding wheels. Uncut glass pat
terms are usually nodded. The angles
in cut glass are better defined ana
sharper. The cutter also may, in some
cases, drive his wheel little deeper
than in other spots. Obviously the
glass at such points would be thinner
and more fragile.
