Il know that the philosophy of ,Je-
sus Christ is the solution of all our

The Golden Rule is the Divine
law governing perfect balance in
economics. Like other truths, this
is so obvious that it takes people
long time to see it. Most Of our
problems are spiritual. The material
side is the result, not the cause.

left unturned to insure the prosecu-
ton of Sam Clark, negro, charged

Zelma Wright, who confessed to hav-
ing assisted the negro, was committed
to the Ferris Industrial School on the
order of Squire Lovett, last Thurs

Mrs. McGovern, the proprietress Of
the local inn, believed her testimony
so important that she urged the girls

Lure Of Open
Road Attracts
Knights of "Wanderlust "
Spend Night at
College

Three little "tackers" who claimed
they hailed from West Philadelphia,
in the vicinity of 52nd street, and
proudly displayed mail to prove their
contention, were found here waiting
hop to Baltimore late Monday night.
The boys, who gave their names as
ED Gallagher, Neal Maxwell, and
Tom Duffy, faced the prospect of a
cool evening in the open until a pass
erby suggested they seek the warmth
of the college hall. The lads, harm
less, with frank, open countenances,
and full of the "wanderlust" were
headed for Baltimore, "just for the
trip" they said. But "pickups" were
few Monday night along the Lincoln
Highway, and there was tired and
sleepy look about them all-the Oldest
of whom had not yet reached eighteen,
as they leaned against the wall of
Fader's garage. The lure of the open
road had not proved SO inviting at
nightfall; thoughts of the "Two Or
phans" before the Notre Dame dc
Paris, in that snow swept night
flashed through the mind of the
passerby. There were plenty of soft
spots in Newark for these adventures
in embryo. The boys, on discovering
an open door to the college, hastily re
paired to it's sheltered walls for thu
night. In the morning, bright ant
early, the trip to Baltimore was re
sumed.

Open Season for
Petty Thieves
Amateurs Start Another
Campaign
Local Police Promise Round-Up

Thieves forced an entrance into the

Main Street, and ransacked the store
Sunday night. The robbery was COM
mitted after "Steve" Mccormick had
left at six o'clock in the evening and
as yet no trace Of the burglars has
been found.
Entrance was forced through the
alley between the pool room and the
candy kitchen on the left. The win
dow ledge bears the mark of a chisel
and distinctly bears witness to the
fact that amateur hands did the job,
which closely resembles the work
done in the Singles robbery about a
month ago. The cash register, found
on the floor behind the counter, had
been battered apart and rifed of
what small change there was, an
amount of dollar or two. The cigar
case had been opened, and a choice
haul of cigars and cigarettes made
About $15 worth of tobacco supplies

A freak accident occurred at some
time on Monday when an automobile
that failed to stop and make itself
known, bumped into two and a half

post in front of the store of G. A.
Bryan, and bent the post at 60 de-
gree angle. 1t is not known just what
damage was suffered by the machine,
but the construction of the hitching
post is of that substantial variety
which is not rudely and without diff
ficulty turned aside. AS to who suf-
