piration of each period of service

ed.
Upon death of any employe protect
ed by this insurance the beneficiary

monthly installments. This insurance
ends when the employe stops work
at the plant. No physical examinc-
ton of employees is necessary.

KILLING Of OLD
WOMAN PUZZLE
No Arrest Made AS Yet De-
spite Combined Efforts of
Police and Detectives.
er speclal corrs.pondent.

By specini correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY. Sept. 22:-Al-
though five days have passed since
Mrs. Mary Grembowicz, sixty-five
years old, of this city, was found
murdered along the Camden-Amboy
railroad tracks near the Ernston
cemetery. no arrests have been
made as yet and local police and
county detectives seem to be as far
from a solution of the mystery as
they were last Saturday.
Although the woman did not have
any money with her at the time she
was attacked, 1t is reported that the
authorities are still working on the
belief that the murderer had as his
object robbery. The fact that the
woman's clothes were torn about
her neck has been taken to indicate
that the murderer was searching for
money concealed about her person.
It Is possible, however, that her
clothes could have been torn during
her struggles as she attempted to
prints In the dirt near where her
body was found proved that she
struggled hard before finally being
overcome.
A study OF the ground where the
struggle took place has led to the
belief that the murder was commit
ted by one man, wearing large
heavy shoes. Soon after the county
detectives had been notified and ap-
peared at the scene of the murder
1t was rumored that they had found
several clues but apparently none OF
these have helped to shed any light
on the solution of the mystery.
The imprint of the mans finger
nails in the side of the woman's
neck show that etrangulation was
the cause of her death but it was
impossible to get any finger-prints
from the woman's neck.

 These professors of geography who are criticizing me-" replied the former Premier, would be greatly embarrassed if someone were to ask them the location of town of that size in their own circumscriptions "

NORWECIANS TRICKED '
 BY GERMAN BUSINESS

CHRISTIANIa, July 2G.--Norwegi- an business men have protested to the Berlin Government against trickcry of German commercial con cerns whose. failure to deliver to Norwcgiaps goods bought and paid for started official and unofficial inquiries which led the Norwegians to believe the dclinquencics were deliberate.
 Commercial intercourse between Norway and Germany had been steadily increasing, due to the low exchange rate on German money, until recently when a number of Norwegian concerns were notified by the Germans with whom they had placed large orders that the merchandise could not be delivered because 'the government had placed special import taxes which prohib- ited eXportation at the prices at which the goods had been sold. '
 The Germans are said to have de- manded additional sums ranging from 50 to 100 per cent. of the prices they had quoted before they would fulfill their contracts The Norwegians frequently were compelled to pay the additional sums having contracted to sell elsewhere the German products.

ARGENTINA STUCK WITH
 WOOL NOW UNSALEABLE

BUENOS, Aires, July 26. The cessation of the demands for coarse grades of wool for army uniforms and the refusal of many people, in spite of the high cost of living, to buy clothes made of the coarse grade has left Argentina with more than 200,000,000 pounds of almost sunsal able wool on it's hands, according to a local manufacturer of woolen cloth interviewed by La Nacion.
 z This huge quantity will be in creased during the shearing season this month and next. AS the pro duction of wool in this country is growing year by year, the problem of selling the coarser grades is con sidered very serious. One reason for the situation is that formerly the Argentine sheep breeders had thought more of the sheep than of the wool, with the result that their stock became mixed and the conse- quent wool coarse and not uniform.
