tune in This Contest
Beat the Boys to It
Dear Jack Jingle :
Received check for TEN DOL
LARS ns winner of your JACK'S
.TINC.LK IIOX nnd wish to thank
you for it.
Most of the boys on my street were
trying to win also, but I bent them
to it. Very truly jours,
RALPH K. PRICKITT,
1000 North Twenty-third street,
Camden.
nave you given YOUR boy n
chance to beat the others to it?
Give him JACK'S JINOLR IIOX
today. You'll find It third page from
the back opposite the funny pic
tures. Today's award In the llmpln' llm'rlcU
contest, was mnIe by Post No, 1811,
American Legion, during n meeting
held at the "IHg Ilrother" House, 25
South Vun Pelt street.
Tho award to be announced tomor
row was mwlo by n jury composed of
the o(Hro staff of the sales department
of the William M. Lloyd Lumber Co.,
.102 Commercial Trust Co. Building.
Once more in the history of the
United States and the allied nations
has n veteran of the big scrap been
handed something ou a silver platter,
so to exclaim.
Stanley Johnson Livingston, a vet
eran of the First Canadion Infantry
Battalion, who did his four years In
France, who was gassed In the second
battle of Ypres, when gas was first
used, and who otherwise has done
something else but wear out asphalt
pavements nil his life, is winner of
todny'B lim'rick contest.
It doesn't make any difference that
Livingston, who is just twenty-five, is
now occupied at the fairly tame occu
pation of dental mechanic with the
Philadelphia Dental Laboratory, 1000
Chestnut street. He still is a nervy
young man.
For he won on his thirteenth lim'rick
nnd thereby becomes, as we have hinted
above, one of a few a very few ex
service men who have ever had any
thing handed them ou a platter. He
concludes that the Battle of Chestnut
street is not so bad after all, and that
the first twelve lim'ricks arc the hard
est. When the hour came for Mr. Living
ingston to be notified he was busy ar
ticulating a set of false teeth. That
means he wns teaching the upper set
to come down on the lower set without
skidding n verv embarrassing possi
bility. "Mr. Livingston," we said when we
met him. "a grateful world offers you
$100."
Immpdintclv both ho nnd the teeth
become Inarticulate. Mr. Livingston,
ex -sergeant major in the Canadian in
fantry, actually blushed !
Today's winner says his method was
very simple. "In my spare time I just
thought about the limerick and if I got
an Idea that looked good I put It down.
If I didn't I waited until morning nnd
then looked at it real hard once more.
That is the time when your mind Is
clearest. As a matter of fact, I'd for
gotten all about this limerick, but you
can bet I am glad to meet you."
Livingston was born in Australia
and lived there until he wns fifteen.
From there he went to Durban, Natal,
South Africa: later to the Canary
islands, then to Portugal, London, Ire
land, where he took up the study of
his profession, thence to Canada nnd
to Florida where his people now are.
He rooms in Norrlstown nnd is single.
Legion Post Picks Winner
Mr. Livingston's linn wns chosen bj
ballot at a meeting of the David Jame
son Pont No. lR.'t. American ICgion,
during their meeting held Tuesdny eve.
ning in the Big Brother House, at 2o
South Van Pelt street.
Following an address by L J. Cat
tell, the members all got busy voting for
the limerlrk winner. The officers of the
post got to work counting the hallotH
that had been turned In while the
other members waited with considerable
Interest to find out the result of the
voting Meanwhile they discussed plnns

N. J. ICE CREAM BILL
Health Officials Oppose Movo to
Cut Down Nutritious
Buttor Fat
WOULD REDUCE FOOD VALUE
Special OltpntrA fo Kvenfao J'uMIe Jrtdner
Trenton, March 3. Tho Stnte De
partment of Health totiny opposed a
Senate measure now beforo the As
sembly for the manufacture of ice
cream, substituting ingredients claimed
to be hnrmful to public health. The
original measure was Introduced nnd
supported by the Health Department,
but nn amendment accepted by the
Senato nullified the department's bill.
"An attempt Is being mode by cer
tain interests In the state to break down
the safeguards heretofore established by
lav. for the protection of the public
health," said a statement issued by the
department. "Senate bill No. 101,
which fixes tho standard for ice cream
nnd which wns introduced at the in
stigation of the State Department of
Health, has been amended in the Scn
nte in such"n manner that not only is
the usefulness of the bill destroyed, but
it permits the use of lngredlentB which
ore not normally present in ice cream,
and which, If used, will bring nbout n
very material reduction in the food
value of such ice cream,
"The essence of amendment Is the
permission of the substitution of coco
nut fat for a portion of the butter fat
contained in the milk from which ice
cream should be made.
"Everybody believes that ice cream is
mado from milk or cream. If this bill,
as amended. Is permitted to pass, the
Ice cream will no longer be made from
milk or cream, except In small part,
but will be manufactured out of vege
table fnts nnd oils, which lack entirely
the growth -producing qualities which
arc contained abundantly in butter fat.
"Ice cream is used very largely ns a
food for infants and invalids nnd Is con
sumed In enormous qunntltios, and the
Legislature should be Interested in safe
guarding the health of the people who
consume it. Ice cream manufactured
under the provisions of this bill, ns
omended. would not bo the ice cream to
which we are accustomed, but a substi
tute mode of cheaper and less nutritious
inuterlals.
"The State Department of Health is
very much opposed to tho amendment
which has been tacked on to this bill
without its knowledge or consent und
will do everything In its power to pre
vent Its passage as amended. '
"With the enforcement of tho pro
hibition legislation the consumption of
ice cream has already greatly Increased,
and it will increase very much more
in the future, This being the case,
it is exceedingly important that the
food value of this very Important food
product should be malntnlned nt least
at its present standard."
Assemblyman Corlos' bill to permit
prosecutors In rural counties to appoint
an unlimited number of speclnl deputies
was defeated in tho House. The meas
ure was urged by Prosecutor Gnsklll.
of Atlantic, a membrr of the governor'a
antl-crlme committee.
The House also disapproved a bill to
prohibit aviators from flying over
hpectators at public gatherings.

Ily (he Associated Press
Williamson, XV. Vn,., March 3.
Threats to "shoot tip" Matewan and

shooting last May 10, according to tej.
tlmony given today In circuit court.
Troy Farley, a twenty-year-old youthj
called by the defense, told the jury that
he was at union ennip near Matcwsn
when the Baldwin-Felts operatives were
carrying out the eviction of miners'
families from Stone Mountain Coal Co.
houses early in the day of the shooting!
He testified that he heard Felts, in
charge of the work of eviction, say to
one of his operatives:
"Come here a minute, Cunningham
Oct your men nnd get ready. Get linen
up down there (Matewan) this cv.
ning. When we go down we will kill
Sid Hntfield and Cabel Testerman. AV
will shoot tip the town nnd kill the
organizers. We will break the strikei
break this thing up. If one of our men
flinches an inch we will kill him like,
wise."
Farley admitted on cross-examination
that he Is a friend of the seventeen de
fendants, Including Sid Hntfield, on
trial In connection with the killing of
Albert C. Felts during a street shoot,
ing. He said, however, that upon hli
return to Matewan, uftcr hearing the
remarks testified to, he did not wnrn
Hntfield or Testerman of the throat
stutlng "I didn't think much nbout it.1'
Another defense witness, Taylor YVil.
liamson, a seventeen-year-old school,
boy, testified that he was at the scene
nt the time the private detectives were
carrying out the evictions. Ho told the
jury he overheard Felts say to Detec
tive Cunnlnghnm :
"Just take what the people say to
you up here; don't say n word. We'll
settle that downtown." Witness said,
however, thnt he did not hear Kelt!
threaten to kill Hatfield and Tester
man. Deputy Sheriff William Brewer, uncle
of Isaac Brewer, one of the state'i
principal witnesses, testified that Ime
had told him that Felts fired the first
shot nt Major Testerman nnd then
threw his pistol n round and shot
Brewer. Witness said the conversation
was in the presence of Tony Webb, a
former deputy sheriff. Isaac Brewer
had previously denied that tin had mmle
such a statement to his uncle or Webb.
