NEW INDUSTRY FOR FLEM-
INGTON STARTS OPERATIONS

The Simplex Universal Joint Com
pany is completing the erection of
its plant in Pennington, and mach
inery is being installed for opera
tions to begin at an early date.
Their plant was formerly located in
Plainfield where temporary produc-
tion was carried on in completing
the construction of the universal
joints they are to make for heavy
motors.
Their plant is on 22-acre tract
near the Foran Foundry along the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Already sew
eral families of officials and work
men of the Company have moved
their families to Pennington, and it
is anticipated that within a short
time this new industry will be one
of the largest in the county seat.
Orders are already booked for their
product, and some of their joints
are giving exceptional service on
Mack trucks.

"Miss" Not Old Title

Denmark's decision to abolish the
equivalent of miss" and address all
women, married or single, as Mrs. >
recalls the comparatively recent origin
Of the distinction in feminine titles In
England. Until the Seventeenth cen
tury Mistress" was the correct form
for all women, and the dimlnutive
Miss" dates only from the time of
Charles II. Contemporary evidence
goes to show that the term was not
intended to hatter, but rather TO de-
note the inferior status of the person
who lacked a husband to provide her
with the more dlgnified title But 1t
evidently supplied want, and quick
ly passed into general use-except
among the purists. Lady Mary Wort
ley Montague records that In her
childhood dignified old ladies refused
to use the vulgar new term and ad-
dressed even little girls as Mistress" !"

Oufcasfs of Paris

Although Paris has municipal reg
alation which expressly forbids per-
sons from sleeping under arches OF
the Seine bridges, there are 1000 per
sons making use of these shelters as
lodging houses. Many are old and In
capacitated. some are alcoholics and
some plain tramps. The Salvation
Army tries to look out for these un-
fortunates. Every night of the year a
pair of comrades" makes tour about
the bridges, one carrying lantern
and the other kettle of soup. This
is handed out TO persons found under
the bridges, and where II is possible
efforts made to reclaim them.

Quick thinking on the part Of

after he had swallowed two poison

advice.
Take some milk and egg, and
then stick your finger down your
throat" he was told.
In the meantime, an ambulance
was dispatched to his home. Po-
lice arrived at the same time to
investigate. They found Coan on
the bed putting a cigarette. Never
theless, he was taken to the hos

aid.
Coan said that he did not bother
to turn on the light in the bath
