being shaken up.
Miss Dorothy Scribner, driving a
Hudson super six machine, started
from in front of the library, to cross
the street and proceed down the
avenue. She had not more than got
her car under way when another ma
chine, driven by Perry A. Brown,
going north on Main street, crashed
into her car, swinging it around and
showing it several feet before it stop

down the hill stopping on the Court
house lawn Miss Scribncr's running
board was smashed in and the door
of her car damaged One of the li"hts

another car which came M Eastern
avenue and shot down Main street
hlo"tod the si"ht of NJ. Browns cor

DESERT HERO l,Nc.3si TO FEW
Dog That With It's Master, Was Savior of Many Lives, Well
 Cared For in It's old Age.

Rufus, the dog hero of the desert, who has saved many lives, Is ending his declining days in dog sanatorium at Pasadena, Cal, where he is well cared for. The end. of the dog Is not far off, says Our Dumb Animals in a recent issue. He Is spent and feeble after his many long and weary journeys over the burning and blind ing sands with his pioneer master. He will no doubt soon fall asleep.
 Lou Westcott Beck and Rufus were intrepid pioneers in a life-saving proJ- ect that received scanty support and tardy recognition. Together they fared forth Non their mission of mercy, Beck carrying signboards and cans of paint, Rufus laden with saddlebags of re- storatives and poison antidote. While the man set up the Suideposts, or painted the water signs, the dog sue cored many a prospector who other wise would have died miserably from delirium of thirst or the venom of snake bites.
 The work of these two great bene- factors Is over. Beck died in July, 1917, and since then the government has appropriated one hundred thou sand dollars to carry on the project that he and his devoted dog started
 Rufus will be well provided for by veterinarian who was a personal friend of Beck's. The old dogs years of hardships, of life-saving service on the desolate wastes, are not without their reward. His many friends who used to see him on the streets and pat him with approval as he started out on his desert trips will not forget him in his old age.

ENCOURAGE BIRDS TO NEST
Only Through Them Can the Many ln- sect Pests Be Kept Within the
 Bounds of Safety.

Of all the ways of ridtling our gar dens, parks and farms of the insect pests that destroy fruit. grain, and even trees, none is so effective as the encouragement of birds. Most birds are naturally insect eaters, and 1t is really amazing to count the number of beetles, bugs. caterpillars and grubs that small bird will devour In a day.
 Andre Goddard, a French naturalist, remarks in a recent number of La Ma ture (Paris) that agricultural plaques invariably follow the disappearance of birds, and he notes that the forests of Hungary were saved by the plac- ing of many artificial nests to attract the feathered enemies of the grubs that were destroying the trees.
 It is true that few birds eat fruit and grain, but even these prefer in- sects. and 1t is probably true in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred that the bird which seems to be eat ing the fruit Is really pecking at an insect inside It.

Super Feature Is
 Beach Picture at
 Central Saturday

Rex Beach has again demonstrated his ability as the most consistent writ CT of great photodramaS now appear inc on the screen. His latest Goldwyn production, "The Girl from Outside" :" which will be shown at the Central theatre Saturday and at the Eagle on Sunday and Monday he nete won the unstinted praise of the National Board of Review. Moreover, it was enthusi- astically received by the managers of the new Capitol Theatre in New York. the largest theatre in the United States devoted exclusively to motion pictures. The manager booked the picture for two weeks, on Broadway, which honor has never before been ac- corded a regular release.
 "The Girl from Outside" coming di- rectly on the heels of MT. Beach's re- cent masterpiece, "The Crimson Gar denia," is proving to motion picture enthusiasts the authors remarkable comprehension of the needs of motion photographs. Everyone concerned with the production became enthused at the wonderful story. The consequence of this enthusiasm of director, camera man and actors has resulted in such fine work that Reginald Barker, the director, was given big new contract to sign, and several of the actors, Cla- "a Horton, Cullen Landis, and some of the minor characters, were immediate ly signed up for several years work Nn. der the Goldwyn banner.
 A Rex Beach story is a promise of thrills; but MT. Beach ie too fine a craftsman to insert fight or any oth- CT powerful scene unless the telling of the story demands it. "The Girl from Outside" is the kind of story in which thrilling scenes form part of the story. They are natural, are never lurid or overdone; and consequently, the pie ture moves so rapidly throughout its seven reels that it seems like two reeler-

YOUTHS TEMP TED
 3 ' MONEY LURE
Messengers for the Financial Houses of New York Fall
 Into Temptation
T a2ALI ,
 Bv James Henle

NEW YORK, Feb. 19. = Discovery
 here, by the police, of plot to rob | brokers of $5.000,000 worth Of Liberty Bonds and other securities has called | the attention of financial New York
 to the practice of trusting boys with ] large sums of negotiable stocks and 1 bonds.
 l These youths recently. in many in 1 stances, have been unable to resist the i temptation thrust at them. During the | past year there has been a half-dozen
 major thefts and any number of minor | ones-and a "job" is hardly thought 1 important unless it passes the $50, 900
 ma~k-all as the resnlt of over-eonfi ] dence in none-toowell-paid runners. '
 The victims of these thefts have been |. hard-headed bankers and brokers and the equally hard-headed officials of big
 bonding companies.
 No one understands why these hard | headed business men should continue | to entrust money to mere boys, espe- cially in view of the magnitude of the sums stolen.
 One of the boys in the gang just ar I rested, Irving Chuck, 19 years old, confessed, according to the police, that i during the past year he had stolen
 over S2,000000 worth of bonds and ! other securities. Of course, the boy
 himself probably received only small percentage of this sum. He has named l a lawyer, also under arrest, who he says disposed of the loot. Young
 Gluck stateG that he and his brother
 spent most of the money they received
 "on Broadway" The latest scheme, whicn was nfp- ped by the authorities, was for num-
 Der of brokers messengers to leave on the same day for Canada, taking with
 them all the securities on wnlcn they
 could lay hands. Tn Canada the boys were to go into hiding, while the bonds were converted into cash.
 Additional interest is lent to the
 case by the statement that some poli- ticians had promised immunity to the
 boys, and that the names of these in-
 dividuals will be revealed before the case is closed.
