War Grenades As Say
ings Banks
Yanks' Explosive Eggs" Made
Safe For Distribution To
Children

The most unique and interesting Of
all souvenirs of the great wal will
soon be ready for distribution among
the boys and girls of Pennsylvania,
Delaware and New Jersey.
These souvenirs are hand grenades
originally intended to be used with
deadly effect against the German al.
mics. When the war ended the gov
eminent had millions of them made
up. There being no longer any need
for them as war weapons, the War
Savings Division of the Treasury De
partment secured a large supply. The
grenades + now being altered into
savings banks to hold dimes and pen
MES.
The Penn's Grove record., 1919-12-19


The alteration simply means remov-
al OF the explosives from the grenades
and the cutting of openings for de-
post and removal of dimes and PEN
MES. No change is made in the APP
Dearance or in the springs and triS-
gers by which the grenades are op-
Grated.
Hand ~grenades, or "bombs," were
among the most ingenious and mos
leadly weapons used in the war. The
grenade made for the United States
Army was an improvement on all tn,
best types of hand bombs" invented
by foreign army men.
When loaded for use the grenade
was kept 'at safety" by a small pin
which locked the firing trigger. The
thrower was required to hold the
bomb in his throwing hand, pull out
the pin with the other hand and then
make a throw. AS long as the gre
made was held in the hand it was
safe because the hand kept a strip
of metal under pressure which pre-
vented the firing spring from work
ing.
The instant the bomb was thrown
this strip of metal was forced off by
the firing spring which also operated
the trigger. This trigger struck a cap
which set fire to a fuse timed to burn
for 5 seconds. At the end of that
time the spark reached a detOnatOr
which exploded and blew up the main
charge of II. N. T., SCATTERING the
bomb into about 40 pieces. These
pieces were the outside she'll of the
grenade, it being marked out into lit
tle' squares which became flying bul
let's because the force of the eXplo
sion broke them off at the thin parts
Of the shell.
The explosion was almost sure
death to everyone within ten yards of
the spot where the bomb burst. The
Yanks called the grenades "eggs.'
They were bad eggs to the Ger
mans.
These wonderful weapons with fr-
ing pin and trigger still included but
made safe and harmless are now be-
ing used to build up instead Of to de-
| strOy. They are the queerest and
most interesting savings banks ever
made. To obtain one a boy or girl
is required to buy a 1919 Government
Savings Stamp, which costs $4.19 dur
ing August and $4.20 in September.
The stamps and grenades are to be
obtained at banks Or at offices Of the
War Savings Division in every town.
A Savings Stamp is to be bought
when the boy or girl goes for the
grenade. The boys and girls also
sign a pledge to use all of the money
saved in their grenade banks to buy
more Government Thrift or Savings
Stamps.
That is how the grenade will help
TO build up. The money put into Saw
ings Stamps is loaned to the Govern
ment and will be used to pay off war
debts and promote the Governments
prosperity plans.
Savings Stamps costing $4.19 or
30 in August or September, 1919.
will be bought back by the Govern
ment in January, 1924, for So each.
Those who buy them not only save
their money. but ear good interest
on it. Thrift Stamps start a Savings
Stamp bank account and cost only %
cents each.
Further information about the way
the grenades are to be distributed and
how soon they will be ready may be
obtained at banks and War Savings
offices everywhere.

War Bombs as Savings Banks.

More than 300 banks and trust COM
panies in the Third Federal Reserve
District, which includes 4S Pennsylva-

all of Delaware, are aiding the gov
eminent Savings Division in the dis
tribution of hand grenade savings
banks. These savings banks are high
ly desirable war souvenirs and are
given free to supporters of the govern
ment thrift plan.
Inquire at any bank or trust COM
pany or at the nearest War Savings
office ah"nt how to obtain one.

TWO FEET Of ORE
IN THE BROUGHER

Seventy feet from the shaft sta
uOn on the 5O0foOt level. a two-toot
seam of ore assaylng $18S5 was cut
few days ago in the BrOugher and
the assay returns are announced by
A. |. Darcy, consulting engineer for
the company The assay returns
gave l404 ounces silver and "a
ounces gold.
The crosscut in which the seam
was found is being extended south
west toward the main vein and the
significance of the cutting of the ore
at this point lies in the dip of the
seam where exposed, as It was found
to lie flatter than the main vein and
coming from the direction in which
the crosscut is being driven, proves
the existence of ore in the main vein
above the 500-foOt level on which
the crosscut is being driven and be

which considerable lateral work was
done before the shaft was sunk to

LAND COMMISSIONER
ADDRESSES STUDENTS

American citizenship was the KEY
note of the address given Thursday
Oct. 80, by Clark V. Savidge. state
land commissioner
Mr.. Savidge emphasized the nee
essity for interest in the departments
OF the government. National and
state undertakings should be given
consideration by broad minded cit
liens as we'll as local activities.
Honesty of purpose is an essential
OF good citizenship. Honesty to self
in finding the things for which we
are best fitted is the surest method
of success. Ability to think and act
quickly are invaluable aids to the
business man whose undertakings are
backed up by the strength of his
convictions.
Good citizens, according to Mr..
Savidge, will lend their influence to
building of the greatest of American
institutions, the home. Our nation.
al government is founded on laws
made in the home. The recent war
was won by the fireside of Ameri-
can homes quite as much as on the
fields Of battle Tribute was paid to
mothers of whom the biggest sacri-
flee OF the war was required
Jealousy and unfair play were de-
nounced by Mr.. Savidge. In an age
marked by selfishness, it is patriotic
to adhere to duty and to treat all
competitors as we would be treated.
Violation of this principle by l. w.
w. organizations is sufficiently I'M
American to warrant their being de-
ported.
Mr.. Savidge concluded his address
with tribute to men who gave their
lives for the honor of their flag and
the protection Of American homes.
