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 ap-
pearance or in the springs and trig-
gers by which the grenadeS are OPP
Grated.
Hand grenades, or "bOmbs," were
among the most ingenious and most
deadly weapons used in the war. The
grenade made for the United States
Army was an improvement on all the
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 abuse 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 T. N. T., SCATTERING the
bomb into about 40 pieces. These
pieces were the outside shell of the
grenade, it being marked out into lit
tie squares which became flying bull
lets 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 fir
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 q%ueereSt and
most interesting savings banks We
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
1920 in August or September, 1918,
will be bought back by the Govern
ment in January, 1924, for S. each.
Those who buy them not only a v
their money, but earn good interest
on it. Thrift Stamps start a Savings
Stamp bank account and cost only 25
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 GRENADES AS
SAVINGS BANKS
Yanks' Explosive Eggs" Made
Safe For Distribution
to Children.

The most unique and interesting Of
all souvenirs of the great war 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 ar
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 are now being altered into
savings banks to hold dimes and pen

LEAGUE DRAFT
PLEASES EDGE
Grateful That Draft Will Be
Revised and Safeguarded at
Paris Session

TRENTON. March Ex-Governor
Edge, of New Jersey, who will be a
member of the new United States
Senate, expressed himself today as
eratifed with the apparent assurance
from abroad that the League of Ma
tons covenant would be so revised
and ~safeguarded before leaving the
hands of the Peace Conference in
Paris thtat perhaps 1t would not be
difficult to secure the favorable ac-
ton when it reaches the Senate for
ratification that everyone desires.
The nation is beginning to realize
that the signers of the round robin in
the Senate were not opposed to the
principle of a society of nations but
mainly to the confusing form of the
covenant and its various interpreta-
tons and the precedence it was taking
over an agreement on actual peace
terms, so universally desired" stated
the Senator-elect. Now that neutral
nations " pressing for clear estab-
lishment of national sovereignty and
the peace conferces are considering
certain other revisions covering in
substance the word of protest and
warning hat anne from America it
will be seen that the nationwide de-
bate in this country was very helpful.
1t is well to have had the conflicting
NitNS uif6us CletTRHB up inc HllSu1ueT-
standings, before the document reach
eS the Senate for ratification"
Everybody favors a compact of ma
lions to secur the peace obtained at
SO great a cost, in the Senator elects
opinion. but it certainly is becoming
more apparent daily that there are
certain Sa~fety-valves which must be
placed in the covenant before It will
be accepted as satisfactory by the AM
erican public.

Six Gent Trolley Fares Start
Tuesday, Following Hearing
Continued from page -

During the afternoon session
Mathew r. Boylan, general auditor
of the company, took the stand and
presented figures on its financial con-
dition. On cross examination by Mr..
Egan, for Jersey City, he said Public
Service had paid $79,313 in income
tax for last year and $1,000 addition
al in other federal taxes These tax
es, he said, had been paid on leased
companies and not on Public Service
lines which had lost money in 1918.
He estimated that eleven per cent.
fewer persons used Public Service
cars since the seven cent fare went
into effect. General Manager Richard
L. Danforth was on the stand also
and told of the way in which the
company had been compelled to re-
duce maintenance repairs.
This closed the case of Public Serv-
ice and the argument on q date for
adjournment started, with the NUM-
cipal officials demanding that they
should not be pinched for time to con
venience Public Service in view of the
fact hat the company had had so
much time to enter their application
and had failed to do so.
The board then went into confer
ence and rendered its dec'1 "a a Few
minutes later. The decision was met
with general applause from h Off
Gals present from the 141 municipal
tiles and mingled expressions on the
part of the company's officials.
President McCarter seemed to sum
up the feelings of the company when
he turned TO Commissioners Alfred s.
March after II morning session and
said:
There's only one job I'd less
rather have than my own, and that's
yours"

MOVIE THEATRE
To Be OPENED
Remodel City Theatre for Nov
ing Pictures 1--we Stores
Are Added

Work was started yesterday ON the
~remodeling of the City theatre, in the
Raritan building, prior to opening the
show house as a moving picture thea
tire. Not only viii the appearance of
the theatre be changed, but the new
owners will change the name from
the City to the Liberty theatre. The
new firm will be known as the
Liberty Theatre, Incorporated, and
are as follows: Gus Rosen, president;
Benjamin Spivak, vice president, and
Harry Meyers, secretary and treas
urer.
Although the interior of the play
house will be considerably changed
the most noticeable improvement will
take place in the lobby, which will
be shortened twenty feet. The space
thus cut off will be arranged for two
stores, one or either side of the lobby.
Both of the stores have already been
rented, n as a candy and cigar store
and the other for a fruit store.
Under the present arrangement of
the building the balcony stairs lead
up from the lobby. With the remod-
cling of the front of the theatre these
stairs will be placed inside of the
theatre proper, as is the plans carried
out in all up-to-date theatres. Other
changes to the outside of the building
will be the removal of the present
ticket Office, which now stands out
even with the sidewalk, in to the lob
by proper, and the placing of a mar
Quise over the entrance. The new
owners also anticipate placing an il
Illuminated Statue of Liberty in front
of the ediffce in the near future.
The most notable feature inside the
theatre will be the installing of a new
Hope Jones unit organ. made by the
Wurlitzer Company, at a cost of $10,-
600; the moving of the moving pic
lure machine booth from the side of
the balcony to the center so that a
direct picture will be shown on the
screen instead of the slanting one as
Is now the case. They will also in
stall two new Simplex motion picture
machines for the projection of pic
lures.
