BETTER TROLLEY SERVICE

MATAWAN, June Palate yes
terday afternoon the trolleys of the
Jersey Central Traction Company
operating between this borough and
Keyport began running between
these two points without the neces-
sity of changing cars at the al
works. For some weeks past con-
tractors have been at work repair
ing the culvert at that point, making
it impossible for the trolleys to run
over the tracks while the work was
underway. During the work pas
sengers were forced to transfer from
one car to another, which was an
noying to the large number of COM
muters who reside in Keyport and
use the trains of the New York &
Long Branch Railroad from the
Matawan station.

Mrs. Belle Roth Restraints Husband
 In Divorce Suit

Mrs. Belle Roth, wife of Benjamin Roth, who formerly conducted a mems furnishing store at 1344 Main street, this city, has asked for a divorce from her husband and for custody of three minor children. Accompanying the divorce papers was a petition to the Superior Court asking that an injunc- ton be placed on the stock of the company which she claims her hus- band illegally transferred to Lyman Roth and Joseph Horowitz of New Haven, and on a mortgage deed on a narcel of land, now in the name of Rose Horowitz. The injunction has been granted by Judge John W. Banks of the Superior court, and the holders of the shares of stock and the mortgage deed, are restrained from transferring or selling until the case is tried in the September term of the court.
 Mrs. Roth claims that her husband
 made the above transfers, which ar= transfers in name only, to avoid pay ment of al.y judgment she might re- ceive when she appears in court against him.

SOCIETY ORGANIZED TO PREVENT
 LOSS0F LIFEF FROM AUTO ACCIDENTS
Plans and Purposes of Organization Explained by
 It's Founder.

A spurt of one week, when as mat ter of fact. there should be no Iet-up in work of this kind.
 Of course, neither we nor any other reasonable person expect, ho matter how careful. accidents may be entire ly averted. But have you thought of what might be done to avert accidents throughout the country and which could be done but which is not? Every day we read of accidents that involve either death or injury, or both, which
 might easily have been avoided If only yourself honestly if this is not true. Individual Aid Necessary.
 Well,~if this be so, why should not advantage be taken of the fact and Ieople everywhere be brought to req ize what may be accomplished by the individual aid of men and women everywhere? Could there be any friend and stranger?
 We seek to inform people of the dangers which threaten them in vari- ouS forms almost every hour of the day and night and that they in turn, like good Samaritans and sensible hu- man beings, warn others of the care and caution needed to avoid those dangers. In the great majority of cases accidents are due to carelessness or heedlessness. These can and should be avoided.
 The power of this movement will lie in numbers.
 In this work there will be no great buildings erected or plans formulated involving great expense. Our funds will be devoted to actual work along the lines provided for in our articles of incorporation. If we can save 100 lives each year we shall count our rnoney well invested.

Wheat Prospects For Year Given
 In New Report
Lexington, Ky. August 5-


 According to estimates commun1- cated to the International Institute of Agriculture by the Government of group of countries representing about one half of the Northern Hem ispbere wheat crops, their yield in 1922 is 39.5 million metric tons (ex- elusive of Russia). Compared with the production of the same group Of countries in 1921 (36.9 million tons), there is an increase of ' per cent. This increase is entirely due to the large crop in British India, which surpassed that of 1921 by 3.S million tons.
 In the United States the forecast is for a wheat crop slightly superior (by per cent) to the previous harvest (22.2 million tons as compared with 21.6 in 1921).
 On the other hand, the European estimates of production are decided ly below those of 1921 as regards the few countries which have furnished data Belgium, Bulgaria, Spain, Fin land, Greece, Hungary and Poland give an aggregate of 7.2 million tons In 1922 against their returns of S-2 million in 1921.
 The information to hand from those countries not yet ready to furnish es- lows: The June rains have some what improved conditions for the wheat crop in France, Italy and Czechoslovakia, while the position is fairly good in Bulgaria, Ruman1a ana the Serb-Croat-Slovene State.
 The condition of the Canadian wheat crop is reported generally favor able, apart from some injury by strong winds and hailstorms.

AUTO DRIVERS IN AFRICA NEVER 60
 WITHOUT HORNS

Nairobi, Kenya Colony, East Africa. Aug 5-The toot of a single motor horn has been found sufficient in Africa, to quiet stanapeded oxen and cause 8 trio of discriminating lions to slink away Into the bushes.
 Two native drivers were recently conducting wagon drawn by 16 oxen to the railroad camp, in the wilds near Nakuru, the site of the new Uasin Gishu railroad, when the spans were attacked by three lions. The drivers fled to nearby trees. The oxer became panicstricken and dash ed down the rough road. dragging along the body of one OK. killed by the lions, with the swaying wagon behind them. The lions followed their prey.
 This was the mad procession that greeted lone motorist at 8 curve of tho road. He had no rifle. and it was almost an unconscious movement that took his hand to the horn but ton. At the first sound the lions seemed non7plussed. The motorist then blew loud and long, as the un- canny and sustained shriek rose above the clamor of the frightened animals, the lions slunk away among the rocks. headed for the shelter of the bush, and the oxen swung clear of the dust-covered automobile and came to a stop at the side Of the road.

BY DIR. FRANKLIN D. LAWSON, Founder Society for the Prevention of
 Accidents.
(Written for the International News
 Service)

New York, Aug. 5-As we of this society regard 1t, education and also an awakening of the moral sense of responsibility throughout the United the immense toll of dead and injured by avoidable accidents, which take place yearly can be reduced, for there is no expectation that accidents can be entirely averted. The dead from automobile accidents in this country accidents from the same cause as 500,000, in round numbers. It is for the purpose of checking the condi- tions which made such a record pos sib1e and from every other source that this society has been organized. can be made safer if the public will only give its moral and physical sup port to a movement which is in- tnended to benefit everyone. The slaughter which occurs every year by accident in the United States is pos small per centage, but this can only be accomplished if the public itself will aid.
 Will Educate Public.
 There is no expectation on our part that we~ can do the impossible or change conditions overnight. What we have in view here is to educate the public mind to a point where everyone instinctively will do what ever may be possible to avoid acci- dents to themselves or their fellow beings. In this welfare work we seek to interest everybody.

 Housewives make great mistake in allowing themselves to become so weak and nervous that it is weII-nigh inpos- eible for them to attend to their neces- sary household duties.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound should be taken when you first notice such symptoms as nervousness, backache, weakness and irregularity. It will help you and prevent more serious trouble. Give it a fair trial. It surely helped Mrs. Hatfield, justas ithas many, many other women. -4.-

Shapely Clerk Holds
 Up Tax Collection

Detroit, Mich., Aug. 5-Swarm- ing like bees to a hive, taxpayers besieged the desk in the lobby of the City Hall here, where sat a golden-haired blonde, Mrs. o. TereIing, engaged in the prosa1c task of receiving municipal taxes.
 Many eyes were fixed upon her shapely hands; her hazel eyes, beaIning with vivacity, hypno- tized others, while many addi-, tionaI onlool<ers were mesmerizcd by the pink of her SheIl-Hke ear. But others-aild they were main Iy men-faStened their gaze on the floor beneath the desk, where reposed two dainty feet and two dainty ankles.
 Other clerks 1olled. The big business went to the blonde. The City Treasurer, indignant that one clerk should do so much work, decided that action was needed to make the other clerks earn their pay. A large paste board map was placed in front of the lower part of the blondes desk.
 Other clerks are now doing their share of the work.
