They are Albert and David Laske- witz, twenty-eight and twenty-three years, sons of Harry Laskewitz, who formerly operated a store in our bore Laskewitz went bankrupt two years ago and the family moved to Phila- delphia. They were arrested March 10 in Philadelphia after detectives at City Hall received an anonymous tele- phone call. “Go to 21st and Spring Garden streets and you'll find some dope hidden in an automobile” they were told. 185 Narcotic Tablets Seized The license number of the car was given and the informant suggested the detectives “look in some neck- ties.” Police went to the scene, found the car and discovered 185 narcotic tablets hidden in the lining of two neckties. They arrested Al- bert in an apartment in front of which the car was parked. Later they arrested David when he tried to have his brother freed. At the hearing before Magistrate Roberts in Philadelphia, both men protested vigorously the narcotics were “planted” in their car. They denied any connection with the drugs “Enemy” Blamed An “enemy” was responsible they said, and named a Lancaster doctor who they said might have tried to “get” them. They said David Las- kewitz recently brought suit for $15,- 000 against the doctoron a charge of causing the death of David's wife during an illegal operation. Dr. Jo- thua Sherman, 426 North Duke St. s the doctor named by the brothers. | Detectives came to Lancaster and checked on the doctor, but instead of inding his supply short, they said. they discovered he had an oversup- ply. “We'd better let a jury pass on this case,” Magistrate Roberts commented in ordering the brothers to post bail for court. A motion to strike off the state- ment in the suit for $15,000 against Dr. Sherman, brought by David Las- kewitz, in behalf of his two minor sons, Gerald and Arthur, is pending in Argument Court, having been continued on Feb. 18.

Clubs, Sunday School Classes, Etc. are frequently devising plans for raising funds for various purposes. In a small community in an adjoining state, the writer recent- ly saw the following plan, which is certainly a novelty and worked tc perfection, a neat sum being realized for a church treasury. Make Dimes Grow A certain society in a church had a membership of twenty-eight. Two dollars and eighty cents were taken from its treasury and converted into dimes. Each member was given a dime and told to do with it whatever he or she pleased. One lady bought ten cents of material, made taffy, sold it and tripled her dime. She again spent the 30 cents for material, made more taffy, sold it and repeated the oper- ation many times until her dime had grown to over $10. Another member spent her dime for yarn, made something therefrom sold it and repeated the operation many times until she had a neat sum A young lad in the society bought la dime’s worth of peanuts, made three bags, sold them at a nickel and so on. One man bought 10 cents worth of cigars, two-fers, sold them at a nick worth el apiece and he too cleared a neat sum. All the members are permitted to operate for a certain length of time say three weeks or so. | At a certtain time thereafter a meeting is held. Each member makes his or her report, explaining in de- tail the method pursued in makinc their dime grow. Many of the | schemes are quite novel indeed, and prove very interesting when ex- | plained. ; Refreshments are served, at this meeting, same being paid for out o thr receipts. It can readily be seen that if one | person realizes only $5 from a dime twenty-eight, at that same rate will “orow” $140.00. What society in Mount Joy will try this jplan first?
