CONSUMERS LEAGUE.
Investigation Of the Making Of Goods
a special object.

a special Object.
The National Consumers League
has sent out a folder which reads in
part as follows:
ut shall be the special object Of
the National Consumers League to
secure adequate investigation of the
conditions under which goods are
made, in order to enable purchasers to
distinguish in favor Of goods made ID
the well-ordered factory. The major
ity of employers are virtually helpless
to maintain high standard as to
hours, wages. and working conditions
under the stress Of competition, unless
sustained by the cooperation Of con-
sumers therefore, the National Con-
sumers League also proposes to edu-
cate public opinion and endeayor so to
direct its force as to promote better
conditions among the workers, while
securing to the consumer exemption
from the dangers attending unwhole-
some conditions. 1t further proposes
to promote legislation, either State
or Federal, whenever it may appear
expedient.n
The Leagues statement further
holds:
That the responsibility for some
of the worst evils from which produc-
ers suffer rests with the consumers
who seek the cheapest markets, re-
gardless how cheapness is brought
about.
"That it is, therefore, the duty of
consumers to find out under what con-
ditions the articles they purchase are
produced and distributed, and insist
that these conditions shall be whole
some, and consistent with respecta-
BILE existence on the part OF the work.
ers.
Great gains have been made in many
communities by the League securing
concessions and better conditions for
workers.

State GeologIst Kummel Prepares Geo
logic Specimens for Exhibition.
State Geologist Henry B. Kummel
is preparing a set OF exhibits to be
given to the high schools of the State
asking for them which will present in
a graphic manner New Jerseys geo.
logic treasures. Each exposition will
set forth the various rock formations,
the valuable ores and minerals and
also the fossils marking the different
geologic periods. They will be made
up of between $50 and 300 specimens,
which Professor Kumnlel has collected
while engaged in his work as State
geologist.
Professor Kummel described two Of
the exhibits as showing what the col
lection will be like. The zinc collec-
tion was one outlined. This contains
fine specimens Of zinc ore just as it is
taken from the mines, and then there
are samples Of every stage of the
crushing and separating processes by
which the pure zinc is segregated from
the foreign and waste products.
The method of manufacturing Port
land cement will also be shown. Start
ing with pieces of the natural rock as
it comes from the quarry, specimens
will be included from every stage of
cement MAKING The cnllecfion of
samples will be made up Of crushed
and ground rock, known as "chalk, 2
pieces of clinkern or the raw mater
ials after burning, and finally the com
pleted cement.
The collections will be distributed
to the high schools Of the State as far
as they will go on the basis of first
come first served Each school secur-
ing one will be expected to pay the
cost Of packing and shipping.

Only the Five Members of the Passaic
Freeholders Committee Admitted.
The Committee on Lunacy, of the
Freeholders. made their annual visit
of inspection to the State Hospital
at Morris Plains Thursday. This was
the first visit in two years. The an
nual event fell into disrepute two
years ago, when the committee was
accompanied by horde Of outsiders
after a free trip and dinner. The
crowds of " friends that accompanied
the committee steadily grew to such
proportions thatit became an abuse,
and DR.. Evans very properly put a
veto on the affair, holding that the
asylum was not a museum, and that
such large crowd coming there and
going through the Institution had a
very demoralizing effect on the pa
tients. The Lunacy Committee is
composed of five freeholders. 1t was
intended to have the party composed
of about fifteen, but DIR. Evans regis
tered a kick on even this number, SO
that only the committee win make

The Pastimes did not play good ball
at Madison last Saturday and allowed
the Florham A. G. to take the game
away from them in the ninth inning.
The home club scored six runs in the
first two innings and everything went
smoothly for them up to the eight,
only two runs having been scored in
the meantime by their opponents, but
in that inning the trouble began.
Stroud allowed three men to walk to
first and two hits following, one Of
which was for two bases, brought in
four runs, tieing the score, but TWO Of
these runs Stroud's supporters as
sisted in by their poor throwing.
Stroud was relieved then and replaced
by Brown and no more runs were
made. In the next inning the Pas
times added another run to this list
on base on balls, two stolen bases
and hit. But in the last half of the
ninth came more trouble for the local
team. A pretty double play by Law
less and Holton put the first two out,
but tumble by Lawless allowed the
next man to reach first safely, then
came two-base hit and second and
third bases became occupied. Once
more Lawless was tried, this time he
picked the ball up nicely but threw
too quickly and it struck the ground
considerably in front of Holton and
rolled into the benches back of
first base, while the two on bases took
advantage Of the opportunity offered
to come home and the game was over.

Itficial result is announced:
Christian Endeavor Growth.

There have been heard in recent
years frequent reports to the effect
that Christian Endeavor, in point Of
members, had reached if not passed
high-water mark. The figures re-
ported to the Baltimore meeting by
The general secretary, Won Ogden
Vogt, are sufficient answer to these
charges. There are to-day 66, 772 soci-
cites of Christian Endeavor, 40, ,339 in
the United States and Canada, and
II, ,433 in other lands. The ten denom-
nations in the United States which
have the largest numbers are, in the
order named, Presbyterian, Congrega-
tional, Disciples of Christ, Baptist,
Cumberland Presbyterian, Methodist
Protestant, Lutheran, Dutch Re-
formed, Methodist Episcopal, and
United Brethren. In Canada the
Methodist lead, followed by the Pres
byterians. The net gain in the num-
Der of societies for the year just closed
is 2,o14. Mr.. Vogt's report, unfortu-
nately, did not give details of the
membership in the societies, although
it is stated that 1,605 societies reported
membership increases for the year of
25 per cent. or more.

The Summit Herald says relative
to the abandonment Of the Elkwood
station, which had been In use since
the road was built. There is a pos
sibility, however, should the future
needs demand it, that a junction sta
tion might be provided on Passaic
avenue, between the main line and
Passaic and Delaware branch, with
platform extending from one to the
other. While such proposition would
have its advantages, it would meet
with some objection from those who
would oppose the abandonment Of the
present West Summit station.
