Edison Tells Ho5O He
Talked to Sweetheart

The great Edison cOnfesses, In
Hearst's International Co Cosmopolitan.
that he couldn't talk to his sweetheart,
now Mrs. Edison, without holding her
hand. He said:
Il taught the lady of my heart the
Morse code, and when she could both
send and receive we got along much
better than we could have with spoken
words, by tapping our remarks to one
another on our hands. Presently
asked her thus, in Morse code, II. she
would marry me. The word Yes Is an
easy one to send by Geographic sig
nails. and she sent it. If she had been
obliged TO speak 1t she might have
found it harder.
Nobody knew anything about many
of our conversations on a long drive sin
the White mountains. five had spoken
words, others would have heard them.
We could use pet names without the
least embarrassment, although there
were three other people in tire car
rIage. We still use the telegraphic
code at times. When we 60 to hear

EXHAUST GAS IN
CLOSED GARAGE
Sufficient Ventilation While
Engine Is Running Will
Avoid Danger.

Don't start your engine In the
dows closed warns Fred N. Rosse-
land, chief of the public safety d.
vision of the National Safety council,
In calling the attention of motorists to
the danger of automobile exhaust gases
in unventilated rooms. Although many
cases of fatal carbon monoxide as
phyxiatlon occur in private garages
every year. especially in northern COM
munities, still the hazard does not re-
ceive the attention it deserves as a
menace.
Induces Asphyxiation.
"A running motor in a garage 10 by
10 by 20 feet with doors and windows
closed will In five minutes produce
enough monoxide gas to induce as
phyxiation,' says Mr.. Rosseland. IF
the engine continues to run, the con
centration mounts steadily toward a
rapidly fatal mount. If it is neces-
sary to run a motor for any length of
time, take care to see that there is
sufficient ventilation to keep the air
clear. The deadly carbon monOxide
contained in the exhaust gas creeps
upon one and does its work without
warning. The victim falls insensible
before he realizes that anything Is
wrong. A slight dizziness is the only
warning. Exercise of a little fore
thought in giving the garage sufficient
ventilation while the engine is running
will eliminate the danger"
In case of carbon monoxide asphyx-
iation from automobile exhaust gases,
Immediate application of the prone
pressure method of resuscitation is Inn
mediately and absolutely necessary.
Even a couple of minutes delay after
breathing has stopped, may be fatal
a quarter or half an hour is almost
always fatal. The next step after re-
storing spontaneous breathing Is to
accelerate the elimination of carbon
monoxide from the blood Carbon
displaces the oxygen. Left in the
blood it attacks the brain with disas-
trous results to the victim. Extensive
experiments carried on recently by DR..
Yandell Henderson, of Yale university,
and Drs. H. w. Haggard and A. l..
Prince, showed that the only certain
method of displacing the carbon mo-
noxide was through the Inhalation of
. mixture of oxygen and carbon d.
oxide. Most municipal gas companies
are now equipped with the apparatus
for reviving victims Of carbon monox-
ide poisoning.
Preventive Measures.
"But preventive measures are much
more to be desired than the use of re-
%suscitation knowledge in bringing a
victim of automobile exhaust gas back
to consciousness" says Mr.. Rosseland.
"In this case the open door Is the safe
guard. If necessary to run your mo-
tor for any length of time within the
garage, open doors and windows. Just
remember this and pass the same in
formation on to your friends. 1t may
save a life !"

Hammer Is Worst Enemy
in Tool Kit of Owners

Spare the } INNER. 1t is your worst
enemy in the tool kit.
Parts that fit, or that come apart,
properly, seldom have to be ham
mered. When you think you have to
use the hammer, that is the time to
make up your mind that you aren't
doing the job right, says a writer In
an exchange.
It's all right to tap a part when it
won't come free, and when you are
dead sure it should. But in that ease
use a wooden hammer, or strike with
the wooden handle of your regular
hammer If you haven't got the safer
kind.
One trouble with hammerlng IS that
you're sure to give yourself some new
trouble. You'll either bend something
or break it. When a shaft or a rod or
a pin won't tap out easily there's
something holding it, and the first job
is to look for the snag.
Here's where an oil can is more
useful than the best Of hammers, be
cause 1t gets at the root of the trou-
BILE without damaging anything. If
oiling fails maybe there's a rough spot
somewhere that you could smooth off
with a little emery paper or a fine file.
A buried spot on a shaft that you are
trying to tap out Of a bearing will
usually get worse if you hammer.
There are more ways than one of
removing a part that sticks, and by
this / mea that If you can't drive
it out In another direction maybe you
can free it by taking something else
apart. You won't be wasting any time
or effort If you find that the trouble
is in the part that supports the part
you thought was doing the sticking.
But spare the hammer. That's one
point | always try to hammer home.

Must Warn of Rope When
Towing an Automobile

Drivers of automobiles towing an
other car by means of a rope or chain
who fall to give pedestrians warning
that they should not pass between the
two cars are guilty of negligence. ac-
cordfng to a decision of the New York
Supreme court. The decision reads
where one automobile vas towing
another into a garage across the pub
lie sidewalk by mean of rope twelve
feet long which sagged within eight
cen inches. Of the sidewalk, not visible
on account CT darkness, the driver was
legally bound 20 foresee that persons
standing on tho walk, waiting to pass,
would attempt to proceed after the
first car had passed, and he was guilty
of actionable negligence in failing to
give them soma warning of the pres
ence of the ropA. rendering his employ
er liable for injury to one of the
pedestrians whD tripped over the rope
while in the exercise Of a reasonable
degree of care for his own safety"

SaUed Money and
Wenr on Trousers

An Indiana pedagogue, who, since
the events narrated in this story, has
attained some prominence in state edu-
cational circles, decided TO buy a new
suit soon after arriving at the college
town for his first semester In college.
He liked one suit very much, 1t just
seemed made for him, but he viewed
the pronounced crease In the trouser

"Well, / like the suit but | don't

to keep it. one night two college
chums went to his room and found
him, trouserless, studying. To their

Many VIII Go To
Trenton Circus

Many residents of this community
are arranging parties and will mo-
tor to Trenton on Monday, May H.,
when the Carl Hagenbeck-Great
Wallace Circus, with Buffalo Bills
Wild West, arrive for two per-
formances, afternoon and night. One
of the most interesting incidents of
circus day is the arrival of the
various trains, and in all the cities
where the Hagenbeck- Wallace Cir
Gus has exhibited, thousands have
witnessed the arrival and unload
ing.
One must be spectator at the
unloading of these numerous cars
to realize the bigness and size of
the Hagenbeck- Wallace show, as
the amount of paraphernalia carried
is almost unbelievable. Every car on
the various sections is loaded from
top to bottom, and the townspeople
scarcely believe that the trains
could move, with all the tonnage
carried.
Much skill and system is neces.
sary in the loading and packing Of
the cars. Every animal cage, every
wagon, every trunk, every tent,
and every piece of material must be
placed in its exact location. To
have an article vary one or two
inches requires the reloading of the
car, it is said. Every workman has
his exact duty to perform and it
must be done like clock-work. There
must be no delays.

Plans Completed for
Fire Alarm Canvass

A Joint meeting of the Fire Alarm
Committee with the Board of En-
gineers of the Lambertville Fire
Department was held Monday even
ing and detailed plars formulated
for the house to house canvass to be
held on Monday evening, May IL,
at o'clock, p. M, daylight saving
time.
1t is planned to make this even
ing one for the Firemen and the
drive will be officially opened by
the blowing of the fire alarm whistle
at 6 p. M, and it will continue to
blow intermittingly for the entire
hour, during which time it is hoped
that every citizen Of the city will
have been visited by fireman and
their contributions collected. A sub
scription blank will be furnished in
advance and il is hoped that the
citizens will have this blank filled
out and their contribution ready
when the canvasser calls.
After the completion Of the can
vass an official inspection of the
entire department will he held on
York street, beginning at 73O, at
which time the mayor and commits
sioneers will make their yearly in
spection.
Alot of interest is being displayed
and it is certainy hoped that the
balance of $500 required to com
plete the system will be realized !;
aud when it is considered that this
is only about fifty cents per capita
it certainly looks as though, with
a little cooperation and old-time en-
thusiasm, that this sum should easily
be raised.

Local People in
Bus Crash

One of the LambertvilIe-T Trenton
busses grazed telephone pole last
Saturday morning on West State
street just before it reached Pros
pect street. 1t was mistakenly re-
ported that the cause of the accident
was that the driver, Robert S.
to prevent a live shad belonging
to one of the passengers from flop
ping out of the door.
But this Mr.. Rockafellow denied
at the hearing in Trenton Monday
morning. He said there was a shad
ON the floor of the bus which had
been placed there by passenger
who got on at Wilburtha, and that
he had moved il several times to
keep it out of the way, but that was
before the bus struck the pole.
The accident occurred on the trip
into Trenton at the curve on West
State street just between Fisher
Place and Prospect street. In order
to make the turn into Prospect
street the bus was hugging the side
walk on the right, and the top right
side struck pole that leaned to-
ward the middle of the street. The
side and top Of the bus was badly
damaged.
Miss Lillian Ryan, of Lambert
vile, who was going to her work in
the Attorney Generals Office in the
State House, received a cut on the
cheek from broken glass. Miss Flor
ence Shoemaker, of 246 North I'm
m street. who is employed in the
State Highway Department, suffered
FRO shock. Mrs. George Forrest. Of
Vilburtha, also received cuts about
he face. There were 10 other pas
sengers on the bus at the time, but
hey only suffered shaking up.

ReiUy's Barn
Burned Saturday

Fire of unknown origin complete
ly wrecked barn owned by Peter
F. Reilly, and located midway be-
tween his Main street store and
Wilson street, Lambertville, Satur-
day afternoon. When the fire was
discovered, the lower floor was
entirely ablaze, and the fire depart
ments of this city and New Hope
were called
They soon had the fire under con-
troll, but not until the upper floor,
filled with hay, had collapsed. The
barn was used by Thomas w. Nit
chell, the city garbage collector, for
his teams and wagons, but all were
out at the time, excepting one wa
gon, which was practically des-
troyed. The barn is a total wreck,
and the loss will probably be about
81 900.
A serious accident was narrowly
averted when Eagle Fire Engine
and Columbia Fire Engine reached
the corner of Bridge and Union
streets in answering the alarm. The
Eagle engine was approaching on
Bridge street from New Hope as
the Columbia engine came down
North Union street.
Louis Botti saw the danger and
ran into the street signalling Ar
thur Scheetz, the Columbia driver,
to slow up. The signal was misun-
derstood, however, and the Eagle en-
CINE had swung around the cor
ner down Union street before
Scheetz saw the danger. 1t was then
too late to stop, and the Columbia
engine struck the rear of the Eagle
engine.
Fortunately no one was On the
rear of the Eagle engine, and being
in motion, there was less damage
than there would have been had it
been standing still. A bumper spring
was broken on the Columbia engine.

page of "Vignettes of Life"
One of the illustrations was titled

ing Mary Rittenhouse, Mr.. Ritten-

Godwin's reproduction was COM
plete in every detail of posture and

be considered worthy of reproduc-

Meet The Wife"

The Trent Theatre, Trenton, is
producing its banner comedy at
traction this week, beginning Mon
day. 1t is Lynn Starling's smart
comedy success, "Meet the Wife"
which ran all last season at the
Klaw Theatre, New York The Tren-
ton production marks the first time
in stock anywhere.
"Meet the Wife" is something
more than a comedy. The author has
been too modest in classifying it as
such. The play not only contains all
that is best in American comedy,
but it also sparkles with the pep
and dash of the cleverest French
farces. The plot of the story is in
genious, but to tell it in cold type
would be to spoil the pleasure of
those who will go to see it. There
are any number of surprises and un-
usual situations, with scarcely a dull
moment from the rise to the final
fall of the curtain.
