On Monday the elder Hergert was pensioned after 32 years service in the paid department. The elder Hergert, who admitted "I am camera shy," said "I will tell you a story, but no interview." The story: "I WAS appointed a call man on November 13, 1904 and was given badge 13. That day we had Box 13, Scott and Pearl Streets.

Returning from the fire one of the last of No. 5 steamer engine's three horse hitch, fell dead climbing North Street Hill. The last part of the story has nothing to do with thirteens, but Dan was a good fire horse." WPA Dismissals Are Protested Workers Alliance Urges Immediate Resumption of Relief With the dismissal of 2,100 WPA workers returnable to the relief rolls, and removal of 400 trucks and 500 supervisors from projects, on orders from the Federal tration of WPA, the Luzerne County Emergency Relief Administration added 40 trained workers yesterday to investigate cases as fast as dismissal slips are put through by WPA, The dismissal forms, known as 403's, must be filed with the relief office before an application for reinstatement on relief rolls can be acted upon, Walter P. Townsend, administrator, states. On the other hand, the Workers Alliance county executive committee last night sent notices to all its branches advising its members there is no rule requiring to wait for their relief, when dismissed from WPA, for their 403 notice to be sent to the relief office.

Bruno Zelinski, secretary of the Alliance, said that if such rule were applied, the dismissed worker might be forced to wait an unreasonable time for aid, since the WPA office "for some peculiar unknown reason" often delays sending through the 403 notice for weeks. He stated the relief office need only have verification the applicant for relief has. been dismissed, and that this can be accomplished in I few minutes by telephoning to the WPA office for the information.

This reduction, together with changes and reductions to other classes business made since January 1, 1936, brings the total reduction to more than $940,000 annually.

A previous reduction, made on October 1, 1935, resulted in annual savings of $1,500,000 to residential and commercial customers.

The company will cut the charges for kilowatt hours in first block, to customers entitled to the commercial service connected load rate, from seven. cents to six and one-half cents a kilowatt hour. Under 8 new commercial measured service rate, all service to commercial customers is supplied through one meter. The company said that under this rate, many customers who now have more than one meter will find that in addition to the reduction they will receive under the connected load rate still further their reductions will be obtained when, at own expense, they bring their wires to one point so all service can be supplied through one meter.

"The experience of last winter surely proved the dire need for this equipment," Berryman agreed.

John Selby's SECTION guide to books for Man Who Produced Money Mysteriously Is Adjudged Insane Newport, Dec. 1 (P)- Sam Malusch, 75, who during 10 days 1 in Newport jail astonished his keepers by producIng five and 10 dollar bills apparently out of thin air, WAS adjudged insane today and committed to Kentucky State Hospital at Lakeland. With him he took the secret of his "money-making" proclivities. Repeated search of his clothing, even of his underwear, failed to divulge source the bank-notes which he pro proffered periodically along with requests for cigarets. Even a change in cells failed to halt the "flood," which reached a total of $98.

He WAS incarcerated for mental observation at the request of relatives. His commitment to the state hospital was ordered on the basis of reports filed by physicians. Know Your Dog By ROBERT BRIGGS LOGAN Editor's Note Wanted to buy--A trained dog. A reasonable cash price will be paid. Anybody having a dog for sale, please address the Dog Editor of the Wilkes- Barre Record, giving pedigree, age, price and any other pertinent details.

When one takes into consideration the small chance a dog has of living, the importance of caring for him properly is fully realized. Everyone who has at some time or other owned dogs has been saddened by the death of at least one, because the owner could not care for his dog's ailments. The American Kennel Club claims that one out of every two puppies born dies before reaching maturity. In most these deaths are the result of illnesses that could have been cured had the owner known how to overcome them. With a little attention this excessive death rate could be reduced by a high degree.

It is widely believed that a monsturdier than the couch This might be true to some extent, But they all need watching while they a are pups. There by far more mongrels born than full bred puppies, but many of these mongrels are born without a home. Practically every blue blood has been bred and accounted for. There are two principal sicknesses that kill puppies. Worms and distemper.

The other causes are more or less unnatural. Dogs have worms all their lives, but when they are puppies their resistance is low and consequently the worms affect them more. Once a dog becomes infested with these worms, fits of nervousness arise and very little can be done to cure the dog. The worms crawling around inside their stomachs drive them crazy before they can be wormed and ridded of their plight. There are but few cases where dogs have lived through siege of worms.

A dog slowly dying in this manner is a pitiable scene. Distemper is merely the dog name for pneumonia. Every dog can contract it regardless of age if left in a damp place or not given enough exercise, Most dogs have this ailment when they are young whether it is noted or not. It might be the case of just a slight cold which can develop into distemper or they might overcome it only to die from that same cause later in life. Distemper a troublesome.

illness to handle. The dog must be watched every minute and given the best of care. The owner need not be alarmed if his puppy comes down with this disease provided he treats it immediately after discovering the condition his pet is in. The treatment for worme and distemper will be discussed in this column tomorrow. With worms, the dog can only be given the regular worm capsules at the proper times.

This varies according to the age of the dog. But distemper can be treated in several different manners, according to how severe the cold is when discovered. Of course, veterinarian should always be consulted whenever your pet seems to be the least bit ill.

Minute Books Held Vital to Hotel Inquiry Bankruptey Referee Offers to Take Hunt for Missing Records to New York VOLUME NUMBER 2 PUT IN EVIDENCE Slattery Says He Dictated History of Meetings From Mallow's Notes Into the Federal Court record of the Hotel Sterling bankruptcy littgation yesterday for the fourth time in a week were entered tions answers as to the history ques: and whereabouts of two minute books of Mallow Hotel Corporation. One, referred to as Minute Book No. 1, it appears from testimony, la in the possession of a New York attorney and to obtain which Special Master David 1. Rosenthal yesterday offered to go to New York with a court order and hold hearings on December 18.

The other book, referred to both sides as "Minute Book No. by held the center of attention during the three-hour session before Special Master Rosenthal yesterday afternoon. Attorney Arthur Butler Graham of New York, appearing with Attorney Neil Chrisman counsel for Wilkes-Barre Hotel Company, offered it in evidence and used it in questioning Attorney Frank P. Slattery, counsel for Mailow Hotel Corporation, and Homer R. Mallow, president of that corporation proceedings to probe into assets, acts and property of the bankrupt corporation.

The history of Minute Book No. 2 was revealed by Attorney Slattery under questioning Mr. Graham. It was prepared in Mr. Slattery's office "sometime in 1935," typed by his stenographer from notes which he dictated in the presence of Mr.

Mallow. Dictation was done from memor anda and notes provided by Mallow, Attorney Slattery said, after he had advised Mallow that such a record of meetings of the corporation from 1928 on should be assembled after Mallow said he had been unable to get the original minute book back from Judge Lyman E. Warren. The latter, it was testifled, declined to give up the book until' he had been paid $1,000 in fees owed him by the corporation. Mr.

Mallow said he had been informed recently that Judge Warren has been afflicted with a paralytic stroke and his whereabouts cannot be determined. the Repeatedly New during examination by York attorney, Mr. Slattery insisted that he could not recollect having -been a director of the Mallow Corporation nor in attendance at meetings of directors "unless I can refer to Minute Book No. 1. If my name SO appears there, then I will say it is correct." Attorney Slattery said he recalled having been a director of the corporation "in its early days" but could not recall what years he served as such nor when he resigned.

Attorney Graham's purpose in directing the inquiry along such lines for almost hour was revealed by him after Attorney Thomas Farrell, counsel for Homer R. Mallow, interposed: an objection with the referee and asked whether there is 8 precedent for an attorney of record being subjected to what Mr. Farrell "Inquisitorial procedure." Mr. Slattery broke in 'to state that he had: submitted voluntarily and had answered the same question the same way five or six times but he thought enough time had been spent and that Attorney Graham should' proceed under Section 21- A. Referee Rosenthal referred to of Mr.

and Mrs. David Cantor, star of screenland who can view pica criticism. years ago by Bob Riskin, author of such hits as "It Happened One Night" and "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town." The vein of comedy, typical of his work, runs through "TwoFisted Gentleman." Miss Clayworth liked the picture for one reason. She explained, "It is more in my sphere." The role which she plays she described as "the typical American girl." Up to that production she specialized in playing parts where the woman had a pronounced accent.

has Russian interpreted among other things a princess and a "girl with a southern accent." The picture was released about four months ago by Columbia and is Miss Clayworth's first production with that studio. Until several months ago she was under contract with Universal. Chatting about her visit here, which she expects to stretch into several weeks or perhaps two months, the actress disclosed she is contemplating making a stage appearance in New York before returning to the Coast. She said she would rather not say what the name of the play is, but added it is a comedy with a Hollywood background. The play is 'being up for several reasons, one being the selection of an actor for the lead role.
