TWO GYMNASIUMS WELL ATTENDED Tamp Curtin Junior High Is Opened as Community Center Both gymnasiums of Camp Cur tin Junior High school were crowd ed to the doors in their tirst use as a community center last night. The occasion was a volleyball game be tween teams from the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs, and a second game between 88-5 and 88-4 teams. The student teams were: Sec tion 88-5 —Alma Miller, Lillian Fos ter, Helen Ilippensteel, Dorothea | Wallace, Sarah Wolfe, Ksther Mur- j lutt; substitutes, Mary Oclienrider and Gladys Fox. Section 88-4 —Martha Dchart, Frances Seihert, Mary Harris, Bea trice Hunter, Helen Constantine; substitutes, Margaret Keller and Miller. Dr. F. K. Downes, City Superin tendent of Schools, made a short talk. He emphasized the use of the schools by the public at all times. He enumerated the duties of Clarence Zorger, city supervisor of special activities, and in charge of the organization and supervision of adult night school classes. Mr. Zorger requested adults pres ent to sign for membership in any one of a score of activities. Organi zation will take place Monday even ing. December S. Mrs. William Jennings spoke in behalf of the Red Cross. Robert Enders, president of the city school board, welcomed the Camp Curtin patrons to the new building. Com munity singing, under the direction of Mr. Harclerode, with Miss Mil dred Conkling at the piano, and mo tion pictures were other features of the varied program. Troop 16 Last Friday 17 Scouts and 13 Cubs heard Dr. Pager's talk on the "League of Courtesy," and I am sure they left the room better for having heard it. Assuming that all Scouts are cour teous in their own homes. Dr. Fager spoke of tile r.eed of being courteous to strangers and those with whom we associate during the hours we spend away from home. We are put ting-the doctor's suggestions into practice. One rather amusing thoughtful act on the part of one of our Scouts has been reported. This Scout carried papers, and early this week he saw a baby throw its bottle out of the carriage. He picked it up and gave it to the baby's mother. Then one of the wheels of the carri age came off. To get it he had to put down his papers, but he did so, and put the wheel back in place, and the lady walked off without a word ol" appreciation. Then the Scout pick ed up his papers which had blown o\er the street and went on his way. Don't let a little thing like that dis courage you. What if people don't ap preciate your thoughtfulness. You have the joy of being of service. Let's have your lists. The prize is worth while, and the addition to your char acter is what really counts. Last night some of our fellows were on duty ot the Doughboy and Gob night at Chestnut Street Hall. To-night we meet at 7 promptly and to to the rally at Zion Lutheran, Scouts Markley, Cleon Criswell, and Fcose will represent Sixteen. "HUSTING." Scribe. .

MAN KILLS WIFE AND DAUGHTER; WOUNDS OTHERS Crazed Through Illness, He Slashes Own Throat Willi Razor and Dies l'nssaio, N.' J., Dec. 5. —Mason R. Strong, 50 years old, an architect, ran amuck in his homo with an ax Tuesday night or Wednesday morn ing, killed his wife and his eldest daughter, seriously wounded three I younger children and then killed ! himself by cutting his throat with a I razor. One of the wounded children, a boy of 12, is expected to die. I The tragedy became known last night after one of the three children, all of whom had lain unconscious in the house since the attack, managed to crawl downstairs and telephone to the family physician. Strong is believed to have been crazed as the result of a protracted illness. zmzzzzz ' Scientific Discussions by Garrett P. Serviss Many would-be inventors, not all young, come to me for things that I cannot give them. These are not, in most cases, the things that they actually ask for, but simply the things that they are really after. Two of the most important of them are money, and assistance in invent ing. While 1 cannot give these I can give what I think may be use ful—some commonplace advice about things that the young inven tor ought to avoid. First, don't risk somebody to fur nish you with money to enable you to perfect your invention; for no body will do it. You cannot ex pect any pecuniary assistance as long as the invention is not com pleted, and when you have com pleted, it, or think you have, no body is likely to bear for you the expense of proving that it will work. These are things that the Inventor must count upon taking on his own shoulders. They may constitute a hardship sometimes, but that hard ship is a part of the price of suc cess. Second, don't try to get some body to blow a horn for you. to at tract the attention of the public. Such advertisement would do you no good if you could get it. The public is only Interested in what already succeeds, and the rich in vestors at whom you are really aim ing in your attempt at publicity, will shy like experienced trout at your lure. If your invention works, and if it meets a need, it will blow its own horn. The regular methods of publicity are the only ones worth while- Third, don't expect somebody else to get you out of your difficul ties. The most altruistic person in the world will not take a great deal of interest in hglping another man to invent a new thing, and experi ence shows that partnership in in vention is the poorest kind of part nership. Fourth, don't think that you have made an invention because a plan of it on paper looks as though it ought to work. The machine is the thing, and the only thing. Yet, !• have known persons who spent a great deal of time and effort seek ing for money to push a supposed invention which they had not carried beyond the paper stage. Inventors of "perpetual motion" machines, ac- cordingr to my observation, usually stop with a "demonstration" on pa per, which perhaps is us well since thus they are enabled to victimize themselves at the cheapest rate. Fifth, don't try to make inven tions beyond your depth. Such fun damental things as the discovery—if it ever comes—of a way to utilize l~ V •—i ) y o ' \ $ i y r <r. johnstowx' * .-vWiGit J.

Look at the type of men who have made the really great discoveries and inventions of our wonderful age. Every one of them Is a man of profound intel lectual power. People are often mis led on this subject by the statenjent that Edison is not academically a scientist. The fact is that although he obtained his scientific education outside the walls of the universities mid in his own independent way his mind is one of the greatest store houses of scientific knowledge nnd scientific power now on the earth. The reason why lie succeeded where even great scientific authori ties predicted failure is plainly in dicated in the fact mentioned by his biographers, Messrs. Dyer and Martin, that the first thing he did when he got rid of the necessity ol Fitting'from place to place as a telegraph operator was to establish a laboratory in which to carry on researches in a more methodical manner. Mr. Edison represents the best type cf "scientific research" about which we hear so much In the uni versities, and because of that when we went into the great war the image of Edison rose ominously to the mind's eye of the enemy behind the thieatening figure of Uncle Sam.
