HUMPTY DUMPTY HERE

The Health Clown, sent over the
State by the tuberculosis League, to
teach lessons by magic and clown
acting, was in Penns Grove and Car
neys Point schools on Wednesday.
The 300 little kids looked with aston
ished eyes as he entered with a
whoo-oo, with a step-ladder and a
high hat. He said:
"Now, the right way to brush your
teeth, is up and down, and around
and around" And with a snowy
tooth brush, three feet long, no
foolin', he led three hundred little
arms in a pantnmime of correct den
tai ablutions.
From his top hat he produced an
apple, an onion, a carrot and a potato.
These, he said, made boys and girls
healthy and strong. Again he made
an attempt to climb his ladder, but
in vain. What allied him? Suddenly
he remembered. He had drunk both
tea and coffee that day and they had
made him weak. "They made every
one weak" What should one drink ?
Why-a pint of milk a day, or better
still, a quart.
Sleep in the open, or the bug will
get you. The bug attached to a long
whip flew among the kiddies who will
remember it in their dreams if their
mother does not raise their bed room
window at night.

A Snow Blizzard
Stopped Travel
Worst Snow Storm In Years
Came On Northwest Gale

Last Saturday, January 18th, about
1890 p. M, snow began falling and
by 8 o'clock six inches had fallen. 1t
covered the ground quite evenly ex-
cept where the wind had whirled some
into banks and made a few bare
places. About 10 o'clock it resumed
falling on a northeast wind which in
creased to a gale. 1t continued to
snow nearly all night until about IL
feet had fallen on the level, but most
had been whirled into banks with bare
earth left in places.
The temperature was IA last Fri
day morning and rose to "a, cloudy.
Saturday morning, cloudy, it was %
and rose only one degree all day. On
Sunday morning, cloudy, the tempera-
ture vas 81 and rose to 40. The melt
ing temperature made the snow soggy
and during the night the temperature
fell to "a Monday morning and made
frozen snow, made solid banks and
icy roads.
The trolley ears were raised from
the rails and electrical connections
stopped their moving. The trolley
pillow got stalled in a big bank Satur-
day night between Pigs Eye and
Penns Neck causeway where the snow
was whirled fifteen feet high. Troll
ley travel was stopped all day Sun
day and Monday. Travel was opened
between Salem and Pennsville Mon
day evening about 5 o'clock, after the
banks had been dug out by men with
shovels. The snow pillow was also
used to clear spaces until the front
wheels left the rails and electrical
power connection lost. The track was
cleared thru Penns Grove Monday
night between 9 and IL o'clock by
twenty-five men with picks and
shovels under Superintendent II. C.
Berry, and the trolley pillow.
Milkmen did not deliver milk on
Sunday. John Parish, news dealer,
delivered what papers arrived Sunday
afternoon from a sleigh.
1t was a fine sleighing snow, but
sleighs have gone out of fashion,
since people have learned to ride in
inclosed automobiles.
Roads running northeast and south
west were little banked, but those
running northwest and southeast had
many banks. On the County roads
many men were employed to clear the
snow banks to allow travel and much
needless expenditure was made to re-
move snow where it did not obstruct
travel.
Mondays temperature was "a to
40. with a clear atmosphere. Tues
day, 20 to 40, cloudy. On Wednes-
day morning it was down to 16. The
mist in the atmosphere was frozen.
About 10 o'clock the atmosphere was
cleared and that remaining on trees
made a sight of crystal beauty. 1t
rained early Thursday morning. The
warmer temperature, 40 to so, made
the snow melt rapidly. The sun set
clear and beautiful on the river.
The ferry boats to Wilmington did
not run Saturday nor Sunday morn
ings. Night trips were suspended,
The Wilson line to Philadelphia miss
ed the early trips Saturday and Sun
day mornings.
1t took two locomotives to bring in
the late train on Saturday night. The
owl trains did not run.
1t was the worst 10Y storm in ten
years and one of the quickest to come
and quickest to disappear.
This Friday morning the tempera-
ture was 81 and cloudy.
Travel was generally stopped
over the County. Little business was
done last Saturday and only a few
stirred out on Sunday.

New Man Named
For Marshal
The Force Is Being Renewed
Monthly Pending Perma-
nent Organization

There were two meetings of Coun-
Gil on Tuesday night. The first was a
brief session for the purpose of pass
ing finally upon the ordinance provld-
ing for the budget of appropriations
for 1922, it having undergone slight
amendments.
The ordinance was accepted by a
unanimous vote and it is now a law
of the Borough.
The meeting then adjourned and
after a short recess, the members met
in regular session.
Mayor Kidd presided and all an
swered to roll call. This is an limo
walton and is a good thing as the rec
ord will show who were at the meet
ings.
Treasurer Featherer reported a
balance on hand of $~7,376.77. Fines,
fees and other miscellaneous accounts,
$4,202.76.
An application for supplies for the
fire department was presented and
the articles needed were ordered pur-
chased.
Mr.. Sailor, of the Poor Committee,
reported some persons in need that
have come under his supervision. He
was given to understand that the
Committee had full power to act ID
all cases.
Mr.. Gillison brought up the matter
of officials salaries and said the only
change by the REIMBURSEMENT was to
cut the salary of the Collector 5000.
This he did not consider fair and
moved that his salary be put back to
the old figure, 500 a month, which
was carried
John G.. Sullivan asked whether it
was allowable to place ashes on the
streets and sidewalks to make travel
safer after a snowstorm. 1t was I'M
derstood there was an ordinance gov
erning the matter.
Andrew l.. Colantuono asked for
residents of the neighborhood that a
light be placed at the corner of Main
Street and Norma Avenue. The
Mayor said the matter would receive
the attention of the Committee on
Lights.
Nelson Munyon and Frank Rose
were appointed and confirmed as
drivers of the fire apparatus for the
current year. They were also ap-
pointed special officers for fire duty
without pay.
JOSHDn VI. IldIbtSOH3 "a ID lIOdSC
worth, William Moore and John G.
Sullivan were appointed to act as
marshals for the month of February.
Mr.. Sullivan is a new member, taking
the place of Robert Shores.
The force is being appointed tenn
p~orarily for each month with the
Mayor at its head until a permanent
organization can be effected.
There was an unusual large atten-
dance, particularly of jitney drivers,
who evidently had an idea some &C
ton was to be taken in regard to
their resuming traffic. The matter
was not taken up, however.
The amended fire ordinance was
placed in the hands of Solicitor Grier,
who will give it his attention and
have it ready for some action at the
next regular meeting.
The matter of the collection of de-
linquent taxes was also considered
with the right and a~dvisability of ap-
pointing a deputy to assist the collec-
tor. It was also the Solicitors opinion
that the appointee need not be a resi-
dent of the Borough.
The amount due, covering a period
of years, is large, and there is a pos
sibility of some action being taken in
the shape of a delinquent tax sale.
The next meeting will be held on
Tuesday evening, 18th.

$4,000 with which to provide scholar
ships in chemistry courses in twenty
different colleges and places of learn
ing thruout the country for the year

the various colleges, the only restric-
ton being that they must devote a
major portion of their time to the
study of chemistry.

Dry Law Declared Unconstitutional

The Court of Errors and Appeals,
on Thursday, declared the Van Ness
law, made a year ago, to convict
Of the sales of liquors by judges and
not by jurors, unconstitutional by a
vote of 6 to 5. The vote declaring the
sales of liquors a crime was 6 to 6.
The judgment of the Supreme Court
was reversed 8 to 4. 1t is probable
a new law will be passed.

SOLOMON REDMON TAXES OWN
LIFE

Following long period of ILL
health, and while in a respondent
mood, superinduced by illness, Sol
ONION Redmon, aged fifty-three,
farmer, resident near Paris, took his
own life yesterday morning by
shooting himself through the heart
with a dOuble-barrel shotgun. The
act showed generalization and de-
liberation in it's manner of execu-
ton.
Redmon had been drinking hard
for some time, but had been per-
suaded by members of the family
and others to stay at home in the
country. He had been heard to re-
mark that he was tired of going on
IN the manner he had been, and that
it was a bad thing to be sick all the
time. Yesterday morning he had
tie RedmOn, with whom he resided,
and stated that he was feeling very
sick. Mrs. Redmon tried to. cheer
him up, but the respondent man
seemed to see no relief. Mr.. Red
mon and son were at work in a barn
some distance from the house.
When Mrs. RedmOn left to go to
some other part of the house, Red
mon went into the house and secur-
ed shotgun, went out into the
yard. Placing the gun to his breast
he fired the contents of one barrel,
which took effect in his left breast,
piercing the heart and causing in
slant death. Hearing the shot Mrs.
Redmon, her husband and son ran
to the yard and found Mr.. Redmon
dead.
Coroner Rudolph Davis was sum-
moned, and after conducting an in
vestigation, decided an inquest un-
necessary, the facts of self-destruc-
ton being too evident.
Redmon was a son of the late
Washington and Rebecca Ashurst
Redmon, who resided at the old
home place near Paris. He inherited
the place, which he sold some time
ago, and went to live with his Sis
ter. He was a man with a large
circle of friends who regret his un-
timely end.
The funeral will be held from the
residence of Castle Redmon. Ser
vices will be conducted at the grave
in the Paris Cemetery at 1880
o'clock this (Friday) afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. Arthur Fox, pastor
of the Paris Baptist church. The
pall-bearers will be Jos. Redmon,
Tom Collier, Redmon Lair, John
Lair, Leslie Wheeler and John
MarSton.

THE STRIKE SITUATION

There has been little or no change
locally in the strike situation, and
very little has happened worthy of
recording. Several striking shop
men have returned to their former
position in the local shops, but the
other men are holding out, firm in
their determination to continue so.
Guards are maintained at points
where the L. & MS property in
terests are large. There has been
no disorder, and both sides are de-
termined to maintain law and order
as best conserving their interests.
Placards announcing a reward of
$4,000 for the conviction of any per-
son tampering with the Louisville
and Nashville railroad rails, tun-
nels, bridges, or other road equip
ment, and an additional $1,000 for
persons caught tampering with en-
gines in the yards have been posted
by the l.. & N. authorities at points
along the local lines, in the freight
and passenger stations, and other
places near the yards.

WANDA HAWLEY, IN "a TRUTH
Full LIAR
Who killed Potts?

Who killed Potts?
Or Smith, or Brown or Jones, or
any of the hundreds who yearly fall
victims of the secret assassin's
hand?
That is the eternal fascination OF
the mystery picture. A problem to
solve-this is what holds the breath
less interest, and this is what you
will find in "The Truthful Liar
Wanda Hawley's new Realart pict-
ure which will be shown Monday af-
ternoon at the Alamo and at the
Grand at night.
Few know the American public's
taste, whether in reading, drama or
screen entertainment, better than
Will Payne, noted novelist. So when
he came to write his first original
screen story, starring Wanda Haw-
lev. he based his dramatic climax
upon the most compelling of all sit
uation-the mysterious killing OF a
man.
Miss Hawley is supported in this
picture by Edward Hearn, Casson
Ferguson, Chas. A. Stevenson, Geo.
Seigmann, Lloyd Whitlock and E.
A. Warren.
