BURGLARS ATTEMPT TO
ENTER MOTHERALL'S STORE

An attempt to burglarize N. N.
Motherall's store, early this morn
ing, was foiled by Harvey Arm
strong, who occupies a room over
looking the back of the store.
He was awakened by noise
and his opening the window to in
vestigate evidently frightened
away the burglar, who in his
haste left his cap. This contains
the name of a Maryland merchant
and may prove clue to the
identity of the would-be burglar.

WATER SITUATION
ROUSES CITIZENS
OF NEWARK
Failure of Electric Power
Creates Serious Situation
Here

Here
From o'clock Thursday even
ing until o'clock Friday evening
the town was without power and
light. For about the same time it
was without water, since the town
pumps are power driven. After
the standpipe supply had been
used the situation here was acute.
No water was available for drink
ing, for cooking or washing except
as the residents besieged those
few in the vicinity VINO are not
dependent upon the town for
their supply. Water was at a
premium on Friday. Like those of
Biblical times, housewives were
busy taking their vessels to the
wells, except in cases where the
children and the men folks were
available for drafting into the
service. Some of the latter went
in trucks out into the country,
taking cans, buckets and barrels
which they brought back filled,
and shared with their neighbors.
One young lady jealousy
guarded a secret supply on Frazer
Field and shared it with her
special friends most generously.
Many received supply for wash
ing purposes from White Clay
creek and many who were unable
to get water just suffered, chewed
ice, bought Kiamensi water, GIN
ger ale, lemon soda or some such
drink to tide them over. Many
were afraid to risk drinking well
water unless they knew that it
had passed test.
Inability to secure power for
pumping until late Friday even
ing resulted in a condition where
in there was no water available to
prime the pumps. Permission was
secured to get supply from the
wells at the Ritter plant and an
effort was made to start the
pumps in this way. Repeated
trails resulted in failure. By late
evening it was found necessary to
connect with White Clay Creek to
secure sufficient water for prim-
ing. The fire apparatus was util-
lied and the creek water which
had passed through the sand filters
maintained by the American Vul-
canized Fibre Company was used
In the opinion of the town officials
and others this water was consid,
cred safe for drinking purposes
but to allay the fear of the town
residents, this water was pumped
out as soon as the town pumps
were started.
Men were stationed at every
fire plug in the system and as soon
as the town water came sweeping
through the mains, these fire
plugs were opened and remained
open until in the judgment of the
committee practically all of The
creek water had been driven out
A vigorous protest was ISSUED
by members of the local Board Of
Health and others against pump
ing creek water into the mains
and citizens were advised to boi
all drinking water until further
notice.
While the town officials ant
: many others considered thi!
+ course of action, the only one lef
, open to them in view of fire haz
! ards and other reasons and while
they are convinced that the waite,
, is safe for drinking purposes
, Mayor Frazer asked that tests b,
q made both of the sand filtered

town water after the flow hat

FAREWELL PARTY
 FOR MISS JONES

Birbingham's loss is Danville's. Va, gain were the thoughts of about eighty guests to the farewell party given Young women's clubrooms Friday eve- ming.
 The clubrooms were beautiful in their splendid array of fall draperies autumn wild flowers.
 Those present were girls from the various clubs, committees and organ izations with which Miss Jones was connected.
 Mrs Joseph Bush rendered a number of piano selections and also accompa- nied groups of girls singing popular airs
 Miss Mabel Plosser helped to banish tie farewell thoughts away with her short spicy readings. The programme committee presented "A Trip to Danville," in which every o.a participated.
 During the evenng Miss Jones was given the end of a cord suspended from the center column and told to follow until she reached the end. Numerous
  end but she followed faithfully through No Mans Land" At the end of the cord, she had more gifts than she could carry.
 Refreshments were served in the dining room.
 Miss Jones will always be remem- bered for her work among girls She is an ernest believer in club work for girls. Clubs with standards. The com petition between the clubs keeps them working hard and Miss Jones as score keeper shows no partiality.
 Many arc the girls who have through the aid of Miss Jones found better homes, positions and broader outlook oa life. She has been seen to find a girl who was sick, unflinchingly she would go with her to the operating table and stay until the natural sleep of nature esed her pains.
 Tho girls say: As a true sport, she is unequaled. Camps, hikes, picnics, swimming, the athletic field she boost ed. The delicate girl is out of style" is the Y's motto
 One of the most wonderful plans Miss Jones installed while in Birming- ham is the trip to Blue Ridge, N. c. The girl who makes the highest stand ard wins this trip. After the trip they become member of the Blue Ridge Club, where they get another chance. This club is made of members from all clubs. Many girls who cannot afford a tri., at their own expense, if willing to work little can win one free.
 Saturday morning Miss Jones slipped away after receiving news from her mother wbo is i'll in Virginia. 1 It is the wish of her girls here for her even greater success in Danville than in Birmingham. 1 Miss Alice Daly, who has been con nected with Y. w. c. A. work, will take Miss Jones' place. We know Miss Daily will keep us busy, but we would like 1 to have them both.
