endeavor to overcome the bad eff

SChIey Expects to Make Rec
ord Arrest-0ne is Being
Held

TOTTENVILLE, May S.-Detec-
tive Sergeant Schley expects to make
another arrest today IN the stabbing
case which occurred early yesterday
morning in High street near Bethel
avenue. Louis Wanda, the man who
vas stabbed and was thought to be
dying was said to have rallied this
morning at the Richmond Memorial
Hospital, where he was taken and
was slightly better. He has a deep
cash down his back and another
down his chest from which he lost
considerable blood. George Velas-
quez, thirty-one years old, taken in
custody by Schley yesterday morn
ing was held by Magistrate Fether-
ston in the first district court in 3d.
500 for examination tomorrow. He
was locked in the county Jail at
Richmond.
Velasquez when arrested had blood
on his hands and coat. At first he
said he did not know anything about
the fight but afterward claims that
he was trying to help the injured
man. 1t is believed that he knows
more about the case than he has
told.
A razor is believed to have been
used in the slashing. The room in
which the fight took place is spat-
tered with blood and there is a trail
leading from the house for two
blocks to the home of Mrs. Matte
Muller, in Anboy road, where the
injured man crawled to the front
porch and smashed the front window
to arouse the household for help.

fRv NEA Servicel


WASHINGTON-All who UNDER
stood the Einstein theory may now
get busy with the quantum theory.
Ones as simple as the other.
Besides it pays to understand the
quantum theory. DIR. William
Duane, learned scientist of Harvard
University, has been awarded $500
for his Investigations into the theory
by the National Academy of Sciences.
The money represents the Comstock
prize, awarded nee every five years
for scientific discovery.
The quantum theory deals with
atomic structure and the radiation
of light. Heretofore it had been ac-
cepted that a light wave and a radio
wave radiated similarly. But DR..
Duane says his Investigations prove
the contrary.
Energy released from atoms in
the form of light always ooze out in
definite "driblets' or "quanta," DR..
Duane says. Radio waves resemble
the waves created on a quiet pool of
water when a pebble is tossed there
in.
Simple, isn't it? But although DR..
Duane has won many to his way of
thinking, other noted scientists dis
agree, which leaves the matter
slightly confused to ordinary NOR
tails.

Bids Are Received
BY Carteret Council

CARTERET, May 8:-Various
technical matters delayed the award
ing of bids for street cleaning equip
ment as well as the bids for gar
bage contractors which were receiv-
ed last night at the regular meeting
of the borough council. The final
reading of the Grant avenue side
walk ordinance failed to pass in
view of objections filed by taxpayers
along the avenue. Several ordinances
establishing and changing grades
of streets were passed. a number
of bus drivers licenses were granted
while the general routine business
matters received due consideration.
Only one bid was received for the
furnishing of a street cleaning equip
ment from the Roosebelt Motor
Sales Company in the sum of $2,418.
councilman Andres asked that, IL
no other bidders were on hand, the
council award the bid to the local
company. A little tilt resulted be-
tween Councilmen Andres and Child.
Since the company did not submit
a certified check the matter was re-
ferred to the street and road COM
mittee for consideration at the
special meeting to be held on Fri
DAY night.
Bids for the garbage disposal were
also received. Isadore Zimmerman
quoted $1,000 a year. The other bid
from John Briska, was S15. Tie
awarding of this bid vas also laid
over until the adjourned n.eering.

A Successful Man

Among the notable professional men
of this country who achieved great
success along strictly legitimate lines
was DR.. r. V. Pierce. Devoting his
attention to the speciality of women's
diseases, he became a recognized
authority in that line.
Over fifty years ago this noted
physician gave to the world a Pre-
scription which has never been
equaled for the weaknesses of
women. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, NY,
long since found out what is ratu-
rally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all thru treating thou
sands of cases. The result of his
studies was a medicine called Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths
that nature surely intended for back
ache, headache, weakening pains, and
for the many disorders common to
women in all ages of life. Women who
take this standard remedy know that
in DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
they are getting a safe woman's tonic
so good that druggists everywhere sell
it in both tablet and fluid form.
