RAPID RECOVERY WAS
MADE FROM BIG STORM
Warm and Fair Weather Serves to
Bring Back Normal Conditions;
Food Shortage Passed

Washington, Jan. 30.-Bright sun
shine and thawing temperatures did
much today to restore normal con-
ditions in Washington and the Mid
die Atlantic section buried under Sat
urday's severe snow storm.
Forecasts of the weather bureau
were for continuation of the favor
able temperatures, and it was gener-
ally believed that tomorrow night
would see complete resumption of
he activities suspended in many
cases since the storm began Friday
night. The bright sunshine in Wash
ington, although helpful in remov-
ing the snow. seemed to contrast
strangely with the deep gloom of
spirit hanging over the city as the
result Of the knickerboeker Theatre
disaster.
All danger Of a food shortage in
the capital passed away during the
day as train service was resumed.
Normal schedules were resumed by
trains on the Pennsylvania and Bal
timore and Ohio at noon. and tonight
railroads en.ering the city from the
South reported complete service. Of
ticials of the Atlantic Coast Line and
Southern Railway asserted first re-
ports of delays were exaggerated.
Street ear service here was not so
quickly resumed. While many lines
were opened up today the two trac-
tion companies serving the city stated
that it would be late tomorrow be-
fore some of their ears stranded since
Friday night in outlying and subur-
ban sections could be released and the
lines cleared for traffic.
Alarmed by the theater castas-
trophe, apartment house and business
cftiee owners continued to give much
attention to clearing roofs of snow,
and nearly every hour brought ru-
mors OF the collapse of some large
building. All these rumors, however,
proved false.
Reports from Baltimore. Philadel-
phia, and other cities in the path of
the storm also told Of rapid reStor-
alton of normal conditions. Heavy
seas, however, still were being ex-
perienced in the vicinity of Hampton
Roads, with several vessels still in
danger.

Man of Science Did Not Bite

Miss Daisy Letter has brought
back from London a story about
Charles Darwin:l
1.-TWO English boys" said Miss
Letter, being friends of Darwin,
thought one day that they would play
joke on him. They caught a but
terfy, grasshopper, a beetle and a
centipede, and out of these creatures
they made strange, composite in
sect. They took the centipede's body,
the butterhy's wings, the grasshop-
per's legs and the beetles head, and
they glued them togther carefully.
Then, with their new bug in a box,
they knocked at Darwin's door.
"We caught this bug in field,
they said. Can You tell US what kind
of bug il is, sir?'
Darwin looked at the bug and then
he looked at the boys. He smiled
slightly.
"Did it hum when you caught it?'
he asked.
Yes they answered, nudging one
another.
Then said Darwin. 1T is a hum

THE PROSPECT TRUCK
BRINGS EAGER CHILDREN
Principal of the School Says That the
Truck Pays For Itself From
Standpoint of Health Alone
BY Prof. Bert Price,
Principal of Prospect school.

Mineral Springs Route |. Jan, 80.
- have been in the good county of
Union only few months, hut | can
truthfully say | am delighted TO live
and work with the good people over
here at Prospect. Never in my life
have been with a better people and
a people who are more desirous to 80
forward
Prospect has a nice 5-room school
building which is filled TO overflow
ing almost every day Our people
bele;e in going to school and you do
not have TO report anyone for not
sendilg their children to school. The
school spirit is just grand. and just
here | wish 10 say | believe if every
community in the county had the
school spirit as Prospect has there
wotl Id not be a school of less than
1iva well trained teachers in Union
county. | for one> am in favor of
consolidation Of small rural schools
We can never hope TO DO for our
children what we should in our small
one and two-teacher schools. They
are the most expensive and wasteful
institutions we can maintain
We have one small truck thst
brings twenty-five to thirty boys and
girls every day and they are alwa,s
on time, bright. warm and cheerful
when they come. and teel like work.
But we notice the children who walk
are tired and seem to have colds and
are not near so efficient in their
work.
Transportation Of school children
will pay from a health standpoint if
from no other.
We have seen consolidation tried
in several other counties and you
could not force the people to 90 back
TO one and two-teaeher schools.
Let us begin to talk, write and
think consolidation OF small rural
schools and not be left behind other
counties in this great forward edu-
cational move that is sweeping North
Carolina and which will give her
higher educational rank among the
great progressive states of our Tn
ion
Let us have roads. but not forget
TO develop the bright minds of our
boys and girls who will be the lead
ers and moulders of thought Of to-
morrow.

Songs and Stories Dear to the
Hearts of Old People
get AWAY from the Crowd

Robert Burdette, in talk to young
men, said: Get awav from the crowd
for a while, and think. Stand on one
side and let the world run by, while
YOU get acquainted with yourself and
see what kind of a fellow You are.
Ask yourself hard questions about
yourself. Ascertain, from original
sources. if you are really the manner
of man you say you are; and II you
are always honest; if you always tell
the square, perfect truth in business
details; if your life is as good and
upright at eleven o'clock at night as
il is at noon; if you are as good a
temperance man on a fishing excur-
sion as you are on Sunday school
picnic; if You are as good when you
20 to the city as you are at home;
if. in shor,, you are really the sort
of man your father hopes you are
and your sweetheart believes you are.
Get on intimate terms with yourself,
my boy, and believe me, every time
You will be a stronger, better, purer
man. Don't forget this, and it will
do you good"

He stated that the county home is

the aged and infirm whom misfortune
has overtaken, and it should be
thought Of in that light. The judge
said some of the poorest men so far
as this worlds goods are concerned
are the richest in character and that
some excellent folks spend their old
age in county homes. He believes
that We ought to pay more attention
TO the inmates of the county home

His Old Father Satisfied

Twenty years ago discouraged
young doctor in one of our large
cities was visited once by his old
father, who came up from rural
district to look after his boy.
"Well, son." he said, show are you
getting along?"
"I'm not getting along at ALL was
the dishearyened answer. Pm not
doing a thing"
The old mans countenance fell, bat
he spoke of courage and patience and
perseverance. Later in the day he
went with his son to the Free Dis
pensary," where the young doctor had
an unsalaried position, and where he
spent an hour or more every day.
The father sat by, a silent but in
tensely interested spectator, while
twenty-five poor unfortunates receiv-
ed help. The doctor forgot his visitor
while he bent his skilled energies to
this task; but hardly had the door
closed on the last patient, when the
old man burst forth:
Il thought you told me that you
were not doing anything! Why, if
| had helped twenty-five people in
month as much as you have in one
morning, | would thank God that my
life counted for something"
There isn't any money in it,
though" explained the son somewhat
abashed.
Money! the old man shouted, still
scornfully. Money! What is money
in comparison with being of use to
your fellow-men? Never mind about
money; you go right along at this
work every day. I'll go back to the
farm, and gladly earn money enough
to support you as long as live
yes, and sleep sound every night with
the thought that | have helped you
to help your fellow-men.

All, well! Alas Alack!

MAN |SF|NED
At METUCHEN
Bernard SChIosberg Charged
With Reckless Driving and
Also Speeding
MAKES GUILTY PLEA
Several Join Making Charges
Against Him--Complicated
TangIe In Case

METUCHEN, Nov. 29:-Bernard
Schlosberg, of Perth Amboy,
charged with reckless driving and
with speeding in the borough limits
Of Metuchen Sunday night, was this
morning fined $50 by Recorder c.
c. Weber. Schlosberg pleaded guilty
to the charge through his attorney,
David Wilentz, and the fine was
paid. Complaints were made against
Schlosberg by Borough Marshal
Bowers; Charles Winters, special
officer at the Hotel Pines and Emil
Brass. of Highland Park. John
Kuiuc, of Woodbridge, was one OF
the witnesses.
Schlosberg's arrest was the out
come of a complicated tangle which
started shortly after 9 O'Clock when
his machine was ditched along the
Lincoln Highway near the Hotel
Pines and ended only when his car
had been placed in a garage at
Perth Amboy.
According to the story told Re
corder Weber, Brass machine was
stopped by Schlosberg after the lat
ter's car had been ditched and
Schlosberg used abusive language
when Brass would not consent to
haul the ditched car from the side
of the road. A truck hauled the
Schlosberg car out of the ditch. 1t
is said, after which it speeded away
paying no heed to the efforts of
Marshal Bowers to overtake the car
and arrest Schlosberg on Brass
charges. The Schlosberg car was
not overtaken and upon arriving in
Perth Amboy it was taken to ga
rage.
Schlossberg. is is believed by the
Metuchen police. will face another
charge when Charles Ferdo of Ro-
gan's Corner, Keasbey, and his
brot her-in-law, John Sales, appear
before Recorder Weber, for an al
legged assault. on the night of the
automobile race.
T'erdo and Sales did not reach the
court i'm time to make charges
against Schlossberg, when the case
came up today.
1t was agreed by the counsel and
the recorder that this case Will oe
taken up later when the TWO W.T.
nesses appear.
The Metuchen police are holding
for extradition two men wanted IN
New Britain, Conn, on grand tar-
ceny charges as the result of
stolen car being found in their pos
session. The men have given their
names as Paul Moreau of New Bri-
tain and Raymond Foote. of New
Haven.
Moreau was arrested this week
by Marshal Bowers on charge OF
speeding and fined sSS by Recorder
Weber. The men were unable to fur
nish this amount at once and white
they were waiting for the necessary
fine to arrive. the local police re-
ceived word that a car similar to
that in which ;he two men rode
had been stolen from William A.
McKenna. of New Britain. on NO
H. Both were Immediately
held awaiting extradition.

MOTT CONFERS With
ATTORNEY GENERAL ON
FUTURE OF PROBE
Future of Case In Doubt--
Somerset Content to Let
Case Drop, Is Report

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 29.--
(By The Associated Press)-Is in-
vestigation of the Hall-Mills murder
case to be pushed along new lines
or is the inquiry to be dropped at
least for the present?
This question today apparently
hung on a conference which Attor-
ney General Thomas f. McCran has
indicated he will hold with Special
Deputy Attorney General Wilbur A..
Mott, who yesterday failed to obtain
from the Somerset county grand
jury in Somerville Indictment OF
three persons whom the state indi-
Gated it believed responsible for tire
shooting of Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall and Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills, sp-
proximately ten weeks ago.
Detectives and state troopers indi-
Gated this morning that they were
at present without orders. Mr.
Mott after the jury. filed cut decld~
ing to lay the matter over, express
ed himself as being in a state of sus-
pended animation. No official ex-
preston of opinion was forthcoming
from Prosecutor Beekman. succeed
ed in the inquiry by Mr.. Mott after
criticism of the Somerset and Md
dlesex county authorities for their
early handling of the investigation.
Both New Brunswick and Somer
vile were agog with the dramatic
collapse OF the states case yesterday
Many residents of Someryil1e who
have contended that the doubls
staying was after all not half as
much the affair of Somerset county
as of Middlesex in which the slain
pair had resided, indicated that thew
4 r. h -.
allowed to drop.
In New Brunswick. however
there was evident strong disincli
nation to permit the case TO fall in-
to the class of unsolved crimes.
Persons who wished the invesfl-
cation continued pointed hopefullN
to the fact that Mrs. Jane Gibson
hailed by the state as its star wiz
ness, still was under close obserya-
ton at her pig farm. This. they
speculated, indicated that the in
quiry was TO be pushed further
The only expression coming from
the home of Mrs. Frances Noel Hail,
widow of the slain rector of the
Episcopal church of st. John the
Evangelist, was uttered by her Law
yer, Timothy n. Pfeiffer He said
he sincerely hoped the authorities
would continue their search for the
guilty.
Florence North, attorney for
Charlotte Mills, daughter OF the
slain choir singer. contributed the
remark that refusal of the grand
jury to return an indictment was
no surprise to her. She added that
she would turn over TO the authors
ties important evidence in her pos
session. Miss North has clung to
the theory that the murdered pair
were kidnapped by hired assassins,
killed and laid out under the old
crabapple tree on Phillips farm.
