AGED MILLIONAIRE WEDSS Spaldi ECOND TIME August Heckscher Marries AVidow of Late ling Firm Head (Picture on Page 15) NEW YORK, July 7 (P) August Heckscher, 81 year old multi millionaire philanthropist, was in the Adir ondacks today after a quiet wedding last Wednesday. The bride was Mrs. Virginia Henry Curtiss, 56, widow of Edwin Durr Curtiss. late head of the A. G.

Spalding Sporting Goods company. She was a close friend of Heckscher's first wife, who died in 1924, and for long had been interested in many of the same philanthropies as the banker and realty man. Got Peeltskill License They obtained a license last Wednesday at Peekskill, N. and were married the same day at the Methodist Episcopal church at Cor ton on Hudson. They left at once to motor through the adirondacks.

Heckscher has given many millions to charity, his two principal philanthropic interests being child welfare and elimination of slums. He was a principal patron of the Society for the prevention of Cruelty for Children, but dsagreed with the society's executives about methods of management. Later he endowed the Heckscher Foundation, which cares for 800 children at Peekskill, and gave freely to other child welfare agencies. Sued by Opera Star A man of positive opinions and direct action, Heckscher has met dispute ajid opposition in several of his charitable ventures. He became so dissatisfied with the management of the S.

P. C. C. that he charged the officers had turned the building he had given them into a jail and requested the governor to investigate. There was an inquiry which ended in a finding that the philanthropist's charges were unsubstantiated.

Two years after the death of his first wife, reports were published that he was engaged to Frieda Hempel, German opera star, but both issued denials. A year later Mme. Hempel sued the philanthropist for approximately $1,000,000, disclosing that she had signed a contract with Heckscher to give up singing "for hire" so she might sing instead for sick children of the poor. She charged that Heckscher had agreed to give her $48,000 year for life but had only made one quarter pavment. There was a settlement out of court and the singer returned to concert work.

Pure milk untounched by human hand pasteurized in the moit modern of pasteurizer bottled and capped by tpotlett machinery donated to the Homeopathic Hospital and delivered there by driverless auto controlled by radio. There you have the complete story in a nutshell but don't miss the milking. See this interesting exhibition on Friday night at the Showrooms of A. W. Golden or Friday morning at 10.30 A.

M. at the State Theatre. For over twenty eight years Ziegler Dairy has earnestly endeavored to deliver the finest milk in Reading. For over twenty eight years we have been the first, in almost every instance, to sponsor and adopt new ideas and improvements that made for hetter and cleaner milk. Our pasteurizing equipment is known and recognized as one of the finest in tho State and the fine, rich, natural flavor of Ziegler's pasteurized milk has become, in fact, proverbial.

Ours has been a desire to lead, and this interesting "milking by radio," while simply an experiment, is further evidence of this desire.
