 Dad, you can't imagine the wonderful feel ing; a man thinks something like this: Well, if l am going to die, this is worth it thousand times"

6O-SECOND SINGS
FOR LOAN. DRIVES

The one-minute liberty sing will be
allied to the four-minute speech in
rallying the public TO all future war
drives and patriotic campaigns. ac-
cording to the plans the Pennsylvania
council of national defense comp'e ed
yesterday. Hereafter there will be
no liberty sing without liberty talk.
and every liberty speech will be ac-
companied by n one-minute liberty
sing. Every four-minute man will be
introduced to his audience by a verse
from a patriotic song.
John +. Braun, State director OF
community singing. will be assisted
in this work by Courtenay Baylor. di-
rector of the liberty sing commission
of the war camp community service.
Philadelphia. The one-minute liberty
sing is to be conducted in theaters
and photoplay houses where the four
minute speakers are regularly fea-
tured.
FOur-minute speaking is always
concentrated upon a set theme. and
one minute liberty singing will be
similarly directed. The psychology in
having thousands of singing audi
ences throughout the State deriving
patriotic Inspiration from the same
song at practically the same moment,
1t was pointed out, will readily be ap-
preciated, and this method OF inspira-
tiOn will be carried out in spectacular
ways.

A good deal was said on the floor
about the short interest in Steel
common and Baldwin Locomotive, but
the advance in railway steel springs
was attributed to expected large busi-
ness in connection with maintenance
expenditures by the Railroad Admin
istration.
The marine issues were directly in
huenced by the published statements
OF possible consolidation OF the

the marine corporation.
Marine preferred moved UP / point

GRATIS RIDES FOR
SHIP WORKERS OFF

GLOUCESTER CITY, N. J..-Augu. 81
The pay-as-you-enter trolley termi
nal will be put into use at the New
York shipyard next week and the
free rides now enjoyed by many ship
yard workers will be a thing OF the
past. The employees of the shipyard
now crowd on the cars and hang on
the side and rear and many climb on
top. and il is impossible for the con-
ductors who stand in the rear at the
cash registers to get near all of the
fares. and many of the men have no
objections to riding free to their
homes.
A loop was recently built below the
main office, and for the past two
weeks the shipyard cars have been
using it, so as not to block traffic
along Broadway. and the fence was
finished today and the fare boxes
will be installed early next week,
and then ii will be necessary for ev-
cry rider to pay his fare, and the
overcrowding will be stopped. The
new cars are expected to arrive in a

PARENTS AT WAR
OVER DEAD CHILD

NEW YORK, Aug. 21-Edmund J.
! Copeland. of PA Montague street,
Brooklyn. obtained an order from Jus
tice Goff, of the supreme court, yes
terday to have the grave of his in
! fant son opened for purpose of identi-
fcation. The order was granted after
Justice Goff had directed Mrs, Mar
celle Copeland, of East Hampton. L. l.,
the petitioners wife, to consent to
the opening of the grave and she had
refused.
1t is understood the father is in
clined to doubt that the child buried
in a plot in Calvary Cemetery is really
his son Edmond. The baby died on
July IS, on which date Justice Platzek
denied an application for alimony and
counsel fees made by Mrs. Copeland's
counsel. Mrs. Copeland is suing for
separation.
The legal fight about the grave is
the latest development in the marital
troubles OF the couple. which were
first aired in court in September, 1918,
when Mrs. Copeland obtained a writ
of habeas corpus for the possession of
her child. The court dismissed the
writ and ordered that Edmond re-
main with his father. 1t being provid-
ed that his mother might have him in
udgS cdCn
Mrs. Copeland first called for her
child and exercised her temporary
custodianship in August, 1914. but
when the time came for her to return
the boy to his father she failed to do
SO. While under her care, Edmond
developed meningitis and died. The
father was not notified until two
days after Edmond should have been
returned, and one day after the fu-
neral. Edward A. Copeland, the
child's grandfather, had been informed
OF its death, but 1t is alleged he was
not permitted to view the remains.
Mrs. Copeland and her sister, Flor |
ence, explained to the court that they |
had not Intentionally kept the father |
in ignorance of his child's where |
abouts and could not inform him, as |
they did not know where he was to |
be found. Mr.. Copeland. sr., they |
said, had refused to believe that the
body of the boy in the coffin was
that of his grandson. and declared
that another child was being buried
instead
Although Mrs. Copeland's separation
suit was begun several months ago, 1t
1as not yet come to trial The defen-
liant denies there is any ground for
he action against him. and says he
intends to begin suit to recover his
shild's body.
