OWNERS GRATIFIED
WITH THEIR BIBLES
Times-Reccrder Coupon Distri-
button To Readers More Pop
ular Than Anticipated

The appreciation which has been
expressed by those who have already
secured their Red Letter Edition by
the coupon Bible offer, is most graft
flying to this paper. 1t was expected
that a desire to acquire such a re.
markable volume would be voiced by
many, but it was not expected that
such an overwhelming number would
take advantage of the opportunity SC
quickly. The concensus of opinion
seems to indicate that it was a real
inspiration to have Christ's spoken
thoughts put in red type, making its
Identification easy.
The high praise which has come to
the paper for the manner of distri-
button is most pleasing also. The on-
ly regret is that it cannot go on in
definitely. The number of Bibles is
decreasing more rapidly than was
supposed possible that it is feared
everybody cannot be supplied. No
coupon gift can be recalled that has
seemed to fill so great a want. 1t j.
therefore urged that those not al
ready possessing this Bible secure the
three necessary coupons at once. To-
days coupon is elsewhere in the pa
per, with additional information us
to how to obtain this unusual Bible.

W. VA. GAS EMBARGO
HELD TO Be INVALID
West Virginia Cannot Stop the
Piping of Fuel Into Penn
syIVania and Ohio

Washington, d. C.-The United
States Supreme Court, in a decision
handed down, declared unconstitu-
tional the West Virginia law prohib-
lting the sale of natural gas produced
within the state to outside common
wealths. The decision is a signal
victory for Pennsylvania and Ohio,
whose attorneys general fought the
law on the ground that the West Vir-
ginia law would have had the effect
OF cutting off the supply of natural
gas carried by pipe lines from West
Virginia to their territory, where it
is extensively used for fuel and light
ing.
George E. Alter, attorney general
in Pennsylvania under the admins
tration of Gov. William c. Sproul, and
Attorney A Leo We'll of Pittsburgh
represented the keystone State be-
fore the Supreme Court. Mr. Alter
continued as one of the two Pennsyl-
vania legal representatives after Gift
ford Pinchot took Office and only a
few weeks ago appeared to reargue
the contention of the state for the
benefit of the new associate justices,
who were not members Of the court
when the case came before the court
originally.
Pennsylvania and Ohio challenged
the validity of the law on the ground
that it directly interfered with inter
state commerce and violated the COM
merce clause of the constitution.
They rested their right to relief on
the ground that enforcement of the
act would subject the two common
wealths to irreparable injury of many
Of their public institutions and gov
ernmental agencies, which have long
used West Virginia natural gas, that
it would imperil the health and COM
fort Of thousands who use gas in
their homes and would halt many in
dustries wherein thousands are en-
ployed and millions of dollars invest
