Like many other communities Penns
Grove has a number of families who
are hard pressed for the bare neces-
sites of life, food, fuel and clothing.
A good many worthy men are in en-
forced idleness and may remain Sc for
some time. Much charitable work is
being done quietly. The committee
which had charge of the Community
Christmas had about $170 of their
funds left over, but this is almost ex-
hausted. The Elks, through Charles
R. Russell, have disbursed $50 for re-
lief. The Overseer of the Poor is
providing temporary relief to several
preparation. Through many weeks to
follow there will be much distress and
suffering.
Overseer of the Poor Charles r.
Leonard suggests that if anyone has
clothing or other articles they are
willing to donate they can be left with
the police department in the Borough
hall and he will be responsible for its
careful distribution among those who
need it.
Druggists, st~orekeepers, fraternal
organizations, doctors and private in
divldualS have all helped and are will
ing to continue to do so. But there
should be means at hand for prompt
action when called upon.
Penns Grove is fortunate in not
having worse conditions than now ex-
ist, as it has had a larger transient
population, many of whom have been
improvident and gave no heed to the
inevitable Temporary depression follow
ing a slump in industrial activities
since the war ended. While this is to
be deplored the people of Penns Grove
are too generous and liberal minded
to let anyone suffer from the pangs
of hunger and cold if they can help it.
Our people have a reputation for Civ
ing freely and cheerfully. They gen
orally went "over the top" with every
subscription fund during the war and
made no fuss about it. They will take
care of their poor and needy whenever
the demand comes from proper and
worthy sources.

A Big Order

There is a fine old lady living down
at Deep Water, and she must have a
wonderful progeny. Reading in the
Record that w. S. Leap is conducting
a bargain sale of shoes she investi-
gated and found that the bargains
were the real thing, so she decided to
shoe-up the whole family, children,
grandchildren and all. 1t required
two trips and forty-one pairs of shoes
to go the rounds. She must be proud
of that fine big family and Mr.. Leap is
happy in the thought that he was able
to supply her big order at wholesale
prices and less. Moral, $50 thou and
do likewise"

The cliff jewellers knew nothing o.

made from the bones of the deer, high

household utensils consisted of pottery
jars and casks made of fiber and COW

cliff jewellers were prehistoric, cave

Court Declares Curtiss
Invented Hydro.Airplane
Janin, Staten Island Claimant,
Failed to Leave Water, APP
peaIs Judges Decide iu Suit

Glere0 II. Curtiss. pioneer aviator,
was declared the inventor of the flying
boat and hydro airplane by decision
OF the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals of The I'd District yestor-
day. The decision reverses that Of
the lower court and was made in IA
suit instituted by Albert S. Janin,
which has been in the courts approx
mately eight years.
the decision was written by Justice
Rough and concurred in by Justices
Merrill, Martin r. Manton and Julius
M. Mayer. 1t related specifically to
patent No. 1.S12,910, which was issued
to Albert S. Janin, of Staten Island,
on August II, 1919. as result of one
OF the decisions in the litigation.
Janin filed his original application
on January 26, 1911, two days after
Curtiss had made his first successful
flights from water in San Diego Bay
Calf. The decision rendered yester-
day shows that Janin never actually
flew machine. In this connection
the decision says:
We find that Janin reduced nothing
to practise, because what he conceived
and disclosed is, as hydro aeroplane,
wholly imperative. for it cannot get
out of the water--the rest is imma-
terial. Decision is grounded on this
point; though we may say further
that in view of the proven unreliability
of Janin and his witnesses we think
no reduction or conception can be as
signed him earlier than January 26
1911, in which case Curtiss antedated
him by at least two days"

tr ing to make himself believe that it
wasn't curiosity that was taking him
over there
When he drew near the ledge of
rocks he stopped running and began
to move slowly and carefully, stop-

and listen. He saw nothing and
heard nothing that even limited of
possible danger, and at last reached
the entrance to that little cave where
he hoped to find Buster Bear ALREADY

ness at to-day's hearing in the legal
battle to break the Iippincott will. She

Inc action to break the document was

Mrs. Helen Lippincott Villa, of New

as housekeeper at the Llppincott nome,

$4,000 Imposed in Each
Case Followi ing Pleas
of Guilty to Charges
Under Anti Trust Law
Jail Sentences Refused
Prison Terms Only Where
Public Has Suffered,
Judge Hand Declares

Judge Learned Hand In the Federal
District Court yesterday imposed tines
CT $4,000 each Upon the seven corpora
tons and ten individuals engaged in
tko manufacture and distribution of ar
ch,tectursl terra Gotta who pleaded
guilty Monday to one count of an in
dictment drawn under the Sherman
antitrust law.
In refusing to impose jail sentences
demanded By the prosecution he de-
clared that in his opinion such penal
:ies should be reserved for cases where
it had been proved that the public had
suffered from the formation of the
combination, that the agreement in
question was such that previous court
decisions left no doubt as to its illegal
ity or that practices had been en-
ployed repugnant to ordinary business
standards.
Judge Hand delared that he did not
consider the division of the country into
three sections across whose boundaries
architectural terra Gotta was not to be
shipped, the charge admitted by the de-
PENDANTS, unreasonable in itself. He
added that it might have been injurious
to the public, but that this had not
been shown by evidence.
Colonel William Hayward who, as
United States attorney here, took an
active part in the three day argument
which preceded the sentences yostcr-
day, said afterward that the govern
ment could do no more than urge that
these self-confessed criminals and
v;olators of the law in high places
should be sent to Jail. His chief as
sistaNt for the building trades cases
David L. Podell declared in his clos
ing speech for the prosecution that a
fine would be no punishment at all to1
the terra Gotta manufacturers.
The corporations and individuals
sentenced to fines were the Atlanta
Terra Gotta Company and H. B. Wey-
president; the Atlantic Terra Gotta
Company, William H. Powell. president
and F. C. Evatt, vice presidents; the

that they would not be seen again un-

and at once began to wonder if Buster

Mrs. Bear had spent it under this

he do the same thing thing this wear?
Or would he join Mrs. Bear and the

he was in there already. Buster had
been with his family more or less
ever since the latter part of summer.

Dies Thanking Friends
For His Passage Home

Prosper Caleuwart, sixty eight wears
old, who had friends in need who made
up purse to enable him to return to
his old home in Belgium, went around
to 5e3 Broadway yesterday to express
his gratitude and succumbcd to his
emotion. When they picked him ,Iu
