INLAND TRAFFIC
TRIPS BEAT THAT
OF.EVANS'S FLEET
Enormous Commerce by Lake
and Canal Points to Posi-.
biIities of the Future.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-To those
who view with awe the record breaking
run of the United States battleship fleet
around the Horn, 1t might be a surprise
to examine the record of some, of the
fleet of commerce that plies the waters
of the Great Lakes. According to fig
ures compiled here, many of these lake
have travelled in their trips
to and fro more miles than will the
war vessels now steaming on their
lengthy voyage
Probably the record belongs to the
steamer II. Fl. Rogers, of the United
States Steel Corporations fleet of ore
carriers. During 2S5 days OF service
this vessel carried 1923, 567 gross tons OF
iron ore on her twenty-nine trips,
travelling approximately 44,000 miles in
doing so. This mileage is equivalent to
three runs like that of the battleships
cruise from Chesapeake Bay to Frisco
When the government undertakes
the expenditure of $50, 900. 900 a year on
this Development of waterways. the river
fleets that will spring up will act as
feeders for the lax craft and obtain
business from them in return. HI re
suit will be a sharp reduction in the
toll the American people r forced tc
pay in the guise of freight charges, 6

and the producing centres of the coun.
try and a consequent bracing up of in.
ternal commerce.

FIND MISSING BOARDER
AND STOLEN DIAMOND.
Young Prisoner Is Accused of
Stealing Ring and Giving
It TO His Sweetheart.

Frederick Smith, 10. of South Tenth
street and Springfield avenue, was
committed to jail today in the Firsf
Criminal Court by Judge Howell on a

mann. 7OS South Fifteenth street.

MEADOW
SCHEME AS PLAN
DOOMED TO FAIL
Urges Trade Board Against Mu-
nicipal Docks and Ship
Canal.

Richard c. Jenkinson, at the special
meeting of the Board 5of Trade last
night, declared the present scheme for
reclamation of the meadows, construc-
ton of municipal docks, and a possible
ship canal, was a n~earsighted, selfish
plan, doomed to failure. Mr.. Jenkinson
said:
s""The present scheme will only lead to
a waste of money, and will ultimately
hurt the whole plan of development"
The present plan is ridiculous" he
continued, because the work was
started before any general plan had
been adopted, and a lot has been done
and will be done that will be detri-
mental,
The speaker then declared a carefully
prepared plan should be arranged be-
fore any actual work was undertaken
The ship canal would not be. If tho To-
cation under consideration was chosen
beneficial to Newark. and would be in
direct opposition to the interests of the
manufacturers, the railway. trolley and
water transportation interests.
Let us have no beauty doctors, oil
dreamers," added Mr.. Jenkinson; "bui
skilled men who can handle the great
problem. men of the calibre that bull
the McAdoo tunnel"
He concluded by stating that if New
ark vas going to spend millions on the
meadows, she should nave something
better than a ditch that is not needed
and docks that no ship can reach.
The board went on record as being
opposed to the bill providing for high
school inspection, by officials to be ap'
pointed by the State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction. Chairman Samue
E.. Robertson said:
1.-THE general purport of this bill il
to further concentrate. all authority
over the public schools of the State il
a central body. This concentration has
already reached a point where 1t may
with advantage be halted until, aftel
careful study and elaboration, the PEG
pie of the State shall be convinced tina
local authority over the schools ma,
with safety be relinquished. The fac
that the city of Newark pays 81 pc
cent. of the school funds expended b,
it, Newark should have the say will
reference to these local matters, ana
not a State board"

NEWARKER'S NEW
'CONNECTOR' SAVES
LIFE AND LABOR
Trainmen Can Now Couple Cars
Without Working Under
the Trucks. ISL

Another step has been taken to re-
United States, which is the largest in
the world in proportion to the nunlber
of passengers carried and the mileage.
This is the installation on various
railroads of a "connector" invented by
Stephen d. Barnet, a Newarker, which
automatically makes the air, steam and
signal connections between all cars
upon impact: This does away with
sending men between and under cars
to make these connections, a task
which has cost the life of many a
trainman heretofore.
The connector consists of a head
casting, with passages for air, signal
and steam service, fastened to the draw
bar. The old safety chains, a second
connection used to supplement
couplings in case of breakage, are re-
placed by safety hooks anchored to the
car frame by eye bars, which are re
leased by a chain attached to the
coupler levers. A ball and socket joint
provides for the movement of the cars
while turning curves, etc.
The device eliminates the use of rub
Der hose, prevents "break-in-twos,"
prevents drawbacks and drawbars from
falling across the track and derailing
the train.
Mr.. Barnet, the inventor, calculates
that one man, working ten hours u
day and using the usual time to make
each connection in the old way, would
require $50 days to connect the cars
of one of the big trunk lines. 7

How to Make Concrete Water Tight

The complaint is often heard that
concrete is lot water tight. The con-
crete materials may be perfectly graded
and the proper proportions OF cement
and of hydrated lime used, n then If
the concrete is poorly mixed, mixed
with insufficient water, or improperly
placed. or If joints are left in the mass,
the wall will invariably leak. In the
first place, says Cement Age, New York,
the mixture must be thorough, and in
the second place, sufficient water must
be employed to give at least a "mushy"
mix, so that 1t will settle into place
with only a small amount of ramming.
Fully as important as the mixture is
the bonding of the concrete between
two days work. For a small structure
which must be water tight, ii is advis-
able to place the concrete continuously,
allowing no joint whatever, and not
even permitting the concrete TO stiffen
III between the patches. Even an in
terruption of an hour in the middle of
a hot day has been known to form a
joint which will allow water to pass.
II continuous work is impracticable, the
old surface of the concrete must be
thoroughly cleaned of all dirt and par
TALLY set cement, so as to xpose the
concrete. A layer of neat cement paste
of soft consistency or else of IL mortar
should be then spread upon the old con-
crete after thoroughly wetting Ii, and
the new concrete laid before this NOR,
tar has stiffened. The placing Of NOR
tar or paste does not preclude the nee
assity of thoroughly cleaning the sur
face. for If any of the partially set
cement is left on the old concrete, it
will form a joint under the new mortar
through which water will pass. A long
wall or a conduit ma require Iongi-
tudinal reinforcement TO prevent tenn
p~erature cracks and therefore leakage
through them.
