Saturday, May 4, when the lifeless body of Mrs. Bertha 'Myers was dis¬ covered in her home at Easton, has been solved as a result of the untir¬ ing efforts of County Detective Nei¬ meyer assisted by Policeman Jacohy, of Easton.

Lussing was at the hearing under subpoena, but was not asked to testi¬ fy.
The nearest identiflcatlon of the owners ot the rifles was In testimony by Harford T. Marshall, a New York lawyer, that they were German- Americans who feared to endang-jr their reputation by disclosing them¬ selves. A Mr. Richards, ot Phllaael phia, was named by Marshall as one ot the possible principals.

States destroyers and other subma¬ rine fighters carry depth cliarges con¬ taining a large amount of high ex¬ plosives which are dropped in the path ot enomy submarines and ex¬ plode under water. These have proved effective weapons in the de¬ struction ot U-boats, and they are safe enough when tho safety pins are affixed; but when they get beyond control and the safety pin comes out they are a source ot serious danger to the vessels carrying them. It wili be recalled that the men on the J. S. S. Manley who lost their lives in tho collision of that destroyer with a British vessel were killed by the ex¬ plosion of one ol these bombs.
In a heavy gate on the morning ot December 17,1917, a depth charge on the Remlik broke loose from its po¬ sition on the stern. The box went overboard, but the charge was hurl¬ ed in the opposite direction and went bouncing about the deck. As it weighs hundreds of pounds it was impossible for anyone to lift lhe bomb and carry it to safety. It was even dangerous for anyone to go to that part of the ship, as the seas were washing over the stern. As the offl¬ cers and craw watched the bomb some offc shouted; "The pin's come out." Realizing the danger, Mack¬ enzie, exclaiming, "Watch me; I'li get it," dashed down the dock and flung himself upon the charging j cylinder. Three times he almost had j his arms about the bomb, but each He was accompanied by ! time it tore from bim,  once almost

Eggs are a perishable food be ng almost as perishable as meat and milk. The more they are handled the poorer the quality becona'"B, hence the more direct eggs may be sold and the fewer times they need be handled the better their quality remains.
There is little doubt but what the rooster   is   the   cause   of   more  poor
night ot the crime. Shrope was em¬ ployed by the Pennsylvania Utilities Company, but worked nights at the Sterling Hotel, Easton, as a waiter.
After his arrest he was taken to the Easton City Hail and put through a gruelling cross-examination. Dis¬ trict Attorney Frank McCluskey, De¬ tective Neimeyer and police Chief Jacohy were present.
Under the persistent questioning of Mr. McCluskey, Shrope broke down and told enough to warrant the ar¬ rest ot Robert M. Loomis, known as "Reckless Bob," who was employed with the Sheesley carnival, wliich is now at Cohoes.

In the report of tho committee meetings to the commercial economy board of the Council of National De¬ fense it was stated that no machinery recommended for discard was believ¬ ed to bo necessary to modern eco¬ nomical agriculture.
