An early morning blaze threatened the entire village of two miles south of Trumbauersvllle, yesterday. Starting in either the Finland Hotel, a three-story building owned by John Jabs, or In the two-story frame barn on the same property, the fire spread to a wagon shed and garage and to the Finland Ice Company's ice house which were almost totally destroyed.
Mrs. Jabs, who with her husband and six children was asleep on the second floor of the hotel, was the first to discover the odor of moke about 3 o'clock and she aroused the family. They were able to reach the street in safety but with only their night clothing, the neighbors coming to their assistance immediately. The lower portion of the hotel was already in flames. At about the time they reached the street, it was noticed that the large barn nearby was also on fire.
Whether the blaze had originated in the hotel or barn could not be determined as the sparks were being carried rapidly on the light wind which had blown up at that time. Mr. Jabs was unable to account for the origin of the fire and declared that when the family had gone to bed at 10,30 o'clock, everything had appeared to be all right.

After considerable talk among the members of the association it was thought advisable to delay final ac tion on the presenting of the pro posed ordinance to council until i copy of the measure had been sub mitted to large concerns whose bus! ness deals with electricity and others Interested, for the purpose of secur ing their opinions. The proposed ordinance was read to the members and is practically the same as that already in force In a number of other cities. The establishment of certain regu lations for the operator of a receiving set so that this operator will not in terfere with other users of radio Is set forth in one of the articles of the measure.
Another of the important features of the ordinance deals with the prohibiting of the use of machines or devices that manufacture static in their operation from 6 p. m. until midnight, unless some means are tak to eliminate the trouble that causes the static or a device attached to stop this trouble entirely or as large ly as possible. Looking into the future another of the measure's items provides for broadcasting station control, setting a limit on the power of a station located within the city, for the pro tection of radio users in that section who would be affeced by his high Continued on Page Twenty-One) BEING SKILFULLY MET In Preparing for Construction of Service Building at the Sacred Heart What is said to be one of the most intricate and hazardous engineering problems in building construction undertaken in this city in recent years, is now being accomplished at the Nurses Home of the Sacred Heart hospital by the Ochs Con struction company. In preparing for the new service building which adjoins the nurses' college, it was found necessary to underpin the old walls of the four- story and roof garden building occupied by the nurses.
This necessitated the placement of about twelve steel needles Into the side walls of the building for the purpose of supporting the entire structure during tho time the work of underpinning Is being done. Quick setting cement and the most improved methods of construction are being used by the contractors, and it is hoped that within the next two weeks the entire task will be safely completed. The excavation work for the ser vice building Is completed and in a short time the foundation for the will bo In an advanced state. The plans and specifications for the building are now ready for the bid ding contractors and in a short time the figures will be in the hands of the directors of the hospital and after tabulation the contract will be awarded. The new addition will be of the most modern construction.

TALK BY A. P. SCHNEIDER Emphasizes Value of Service From Business Viewpoint "Civic clubs have driven home the fact that success in life is based on service, backed by high ideals, fundamental principles and an altruistic spiritual attitude," A. P. Schneider, president of the Peters and Jacoby Ice Cream company, declared last night In an address be fore members of the Monarch clubN at a meeting In the Americus Hotel.
Mr. Schneider was presented to the Monarchs by Oliver Marsteller, also of the Peters and Jacoby company, who was chairman of the meeting. "Even from a selfish business view point," Mr. Schneider said, "he profits most who serves best in every section of his appointed field." Discussing his own business and the industry he represents as a whole, the speaker went on record in favor of legislation that will require the sale of ice cream by weight rather than by volume in order ta'protect both the dealer and ultimate con sumer. From a sanitary viewpoint, how ever, the ice cream manufacturers are zealously watched by the state health department, he added.
The Monarchs unanimously accepted an invitation of the Advertising club to attend a joint service club meeting on Tuesday night, April 10, when John B. Kennedy, associate editor of Collier's magazine w-ill speak on "Civics for the Civilized."

Danner, "trusties" in the Northampton county prison at Easton, at 7.30 o'clock last night escaped from the jail and at midnight were still at large. Shortly after their escape, Easton police received a report of a machine stolen a short distance from the jail and are confident the escaped prisoners made their get-away from the city in the stolen car. The men were sentenced at the December term of criminal court at Easton to a year for the larceny of an automobile. They 'served a two-year sentence some time ago in the Trenton penitentiary on a similar offense and detainers were also lodged against them on another charge of larceny in Montgomery county.
Charles M. Best, warden of the jail, immediately sent out fliers tc surrounding cities in an effort to round up the men. Neither of the pair wore a coat although Krell had on a cap, and blue sweater. Danner had on a white shirt, blue trousers and black shoes. Krell likewise wore blue trousers and black shoes.
According to Warden Best last night, the men, being trusties, had his every confidence and were accorded special privileges about the jail. They were in the prison yard, the warden said, and broke into the garage there and secured the rope with which they slid to freedom. After getting the rope, the warden says the men climbed up the side of the main building, using the iron bars over windows for footholds, then ran over the roof and dropped to the "bridge of sighs" connecting tire prison with the court house, threw the rope over the wall after tying one end to bridge and then lowered themselves to the outside yard. Danner's home is said to be in Ta- maqua while- Krell's home is believed to be near Doylestown. After Several Days of Summery Weather Woman Hurt at 9th and Hamilton High March winds blew over the city yesterday from the northwest, bringing with them a tang of winter, a noticeable drop in temperature and no little discomfort to pedestrians.
No serious damage was reported from any section of the city or county however. Coming after three days of almost oppressive warmth, the winds and cold had the effect of sending housekeepers cellarward to bolster up neglected fires and other members of the household for the heavier wraps that, had been optimistically laid aside in favor of lighter garments. On every street and at almost any hour throughout the day pedestrians could be seen pursuing elusive hats that were carried hither and yon as the tricky winds struck buildings and rebounded as whirlpols and eddies of air that could be followed only by watching the objects they blew about. As far as could be learned, Mrs. S.
Hensinger, of Eighth and Allen Allen streets, was the only person to suffer hurts as a direct result of the winds. She was walking on Ninth street, near the Pennsylvania Power and Light building, when an especially strong gust of wind caught her and literally forced her across the street. In her hurry to get to shelter she tripped, sustaining slight bruises and cuts, which were dressed by Dr. L. C.

The local drop In temperature was approximately thirty degrees in the twenty-four hours between 6 p. m. and the same hour on Tuesday, the former figure being seventy degrees and the latter forty. From 6 to 9 o'clock last night there was another slight drop, but by mfdnight the mercury was rising again and the winds were subsiding.

He then took occasion to call on several visiting Legionnaires for brief remarks. In their response each extolled the virtues of Chaplain Beck. Those who spoke were: Dr.

He touched on American politics declar" ing it to be impossible to govern this country by class legislation, rather than mass legislation. The former, he said, is contrary to the principles of American government, and it was to this mass suggestion, rather than, to class appeal that made the winning of the World War possible.
