TOWEL FUND CLEARS
$500 FOR HOSPITAL.
Report of Those In Charge Given
in Detail-ShOWs Much
Work.

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Perth
Amboy Hospital have cleared 800 for
the hospital by the sale of Hospital
towels. The following account will
be of interest to any one who bought
towels, or in any way helped the
towel fund along or takes any inter
est in it:
Bought 2,525 yards.
Sold in towels. ........... 2,410 yds.
In dish cloths. .......... 20 yds.
"a inch per yd. allowed
for hens ............ 80 yds.
SOLD 1000 yus.
z The net gain for the hospital by the
sale of towels amounts to ST.. 10, a
donation from "a friend, " of $40 is
included in this. The cash borrowed
to start the towel fund, $108 has been
returned to the one from whom it was
borrowed minus the cost of the 80
yards allowed for hens. From this
cash returned, the owner Mrs. Hardy,
donates 1922 81, this being the balance
needed to make 800 clear gain for the
hospital through the Ladies Auxiliary
towel fund.
By the courtesy of the house of
Messrs. Reynolds & Hanson and
through their interest in the hospital,
the Ladies Auxiliary has been enabled
to buy the toweling at wholesale price
and sell it at retail price, thus aver
aging 20 per CEN on all sales made.

An Ingenious Cadet.

An ingenious cadet of an English
scientific corps made use of electricity
to wake him in the morning and boil
his coffee at the same time. The minute
hand of his clock was made to bring two
spring contacts together and thus send
an electric current to ring the rising
bell. The current, at the same time,
actuated a small electromagnetic, which
allowed some sulphuric acid to run out
of a spoon and ignite a match, which, in
turn, lighted e spirit lamp under the
coffee boiler. By the time he was
dressed his coffee was hot.

wooden structure, also gave way for a

is very close to the trestle.
Several thousand people were soon
at the scene of the wreck. No one on
any of the cars had made an effort to
jump, and the bodies of all those killed
were found in the wreckage of the diff
ferent cars to which they belonged.
Ladies who drove out to the wreck

capped. for each car falling with the en-
CINE bounded from it and completely
collapsed after striking the rocks at
the foot of the trestle. All the express
matter in the express car was practi-
cally destroyed except six crates full
of canary birds. None of the birds
was hurt, though the crates were in
the thickest of the debris. All unOti-
cial opinions that have been ascer-
tanned agree in giving only n cause
for the wreck, the high speed of the
train on the sharp curve.
The mail bags In all the mail cars
were torn open, and the letters and
packages were scattered, but it is be-
lieved none is lost. Fire which APP
peared in the wreckage shortly after it
occurred was quickly eXtinSuished by
the Danville fire department.
In loss of life this is n of the most
serious wrecks that have occurred on
the Southern, and it is the third time
that the fast mail has been almost en-
tirely demolished. On account of the
wreck all traffic on the central and
northern divisions of the Southern will
be affected. 1t will take several days
TO repair the damage to the trestle.
