Freight Train in Network
of Falling Telegraph Wires

ELIZABETH, March "A freight
train caught under n hundred strand
mesh of telegraph wires is held fast
west of Garwood on the Central
railroad. The train of sixty-two cars
is covered for its entire length by
the wires, which fell when row OF
more than score of poles snapped
off short from the weight of ice and
snow. Many of the strands broke
and entwined themselves about the
running gear like tentacled mon
ster holding a snake in its grasp.
The engine, with its smokestaek pro-
truding through the meshes. stands
painting with full steam up at the
head of the train. while the crew is
huddled in the cab and caboose to
escape the torturous icy wind.
The telegraph wires on both sides
of the Central tracks are down at
intervals over the entire system.
Near Westfeld forty-slx poles on the
north side broke and fell, with the
wind blowing them on the westbound
tracks,

1000 men yesterday afternoon at the
Bedford branch of the Young Mems
Christian Association. Bedford ave-

the subject of THE New Puritan. >
He was frequently interrupted by
laughter and applause which he pro-
voked by humorous references to
Tammany, prevention of divorce,
legislation. money making and money
makers, and the old Puritan and the
new.
In his remarks about President
Wilson and his trust bills, particu-
larly those now in force in New Jer-
sey and known as the "Seven Sisters. .
Mr.. Marshall said:
you can have all the good laws on
the books that possibly can be de-
vised by the best of men, and when
l use that characterization you'll par
don me If l say l mean Woodrow
Wilson--and you Gin have conscien-
tious judges and executives all over
the land. but / say to you that unless
the moral element furnishes the steam
you will get nowhere. The Seven
Sisters are doing good work in clean
ing up New Jersey. but if the people
there fail to uphold them, it will be
found some time that the Seven Sis

district.

Disastrous Tie-Up.

sereet cleaning department faced a
new problem today. Already s9sO,O0O
have been spent in snow removal
work and city officials were unable to
make an estimate of the probable
cost OF the latest storm.
With it's telegraph wires down, sig
nails crippled and tracks drifted high
with snow, the Pennsylvania railroad
made no attempt to run a train out of
New York after o'clock last night
and all incoming trains from the
West and South arrived from two to
eleven hours late. A local train from
Atlantic City arrived at 4;30 o'clock
this morning, seven hours and fifty
three minutes late. The conductor re-
ported that the storm was still raging
along the coast and that he snow
was drifting badly.
In the Pennsylvania railroad sta
ton forty sleeping cars remained on
the tracks all night In them were
500 passengers, many of whom slept
peacefully ignorant that they were
not on their way to their destinations.
In the waiting-rooms were hundreds
of persons waiting for the resumption
of traffic. Lunch rooms and dining
halls were kept open all night for
their accommodation.
Trains Are Lost.
Trains on the New York Central
lines Jared but little better. Points
Upstate could not be reached by wire
early today, and the whereabouts of
several incoming mail and passenger
trains could not be learned. Among
other trains reported lost was the
Twentieth Century Limited. Between
Peekskill and Cold Springs, dis
lance of about eleven miles, thirty
broken telegraph poles are down. AL
bany and Buffalo were out of commu-
nication and New York Central trains
between these points were reported
lost.
The storm put nearly every wire
less station along the coast here
abouts out of commission, and after 6
o'clock last night communication with
ships at sea was impossible. The
aerials of the stations were so crippled
with sleet and snow as to render them
useless, it was reported
More than 10000 men, under the di-
rection of the street cleaning de-
partment, attacked the snow to keep
traffic open in a few of the principal
business streets. These same men quit
work during the gale last night, and

Chimney Fires

Many fire has started because the
accumulation of SCOT In the chimney
has caught fire and created SO much
heat that the surrounding woodwork
finally ignited. There are some sim
pie things that cen be done in such
cases. First. shut all doors and win.
dows in order to cut down the supply
of air as much as possible. Then put
a handful of SILT on the fire and re-
peat II necessary. but do not choke the
fire with salt. The formation OF muri-
attic acid helps to smother the fire
in the chimney.
The best way to avoid such fires Is
clean chimneys. Once a year at the
least. the stove pipes and furnace
pipes ought to be taken down and
cleaned.
Another good way to rid the chin
ney of SCOT is to lay strip of zinc
on the live bed of coals.-Earl Doug.

Codlinq Moth

What can we do at this season of
the year to control the codling moth.
that insect whose damage to the apple
and pear corp we must figure by the
hundred thousand dollars?
All fruit growers that have watched
this insect at all know that in the fall
the full grown worm or larvae, comes
from the wormy apple, seeks pro-
tected place under the rough bark
or in the crotches of the trees, spins
cocoon about itself in which 1t re-
mains inactive during the entire win.
ter With the coming Of the warm
days of spring a change begins to take
place and shortly after the blossoms
have fallen and the little apples begin
to form, the adult moth emerges
from the cocoon to begin laying its
eggs about the little fruit.
Each female leys on the average
from forty to fifty eggs, so If only a
few of these chrysalis or hybernating
larvae are destroyed the number of
eggs to be deposited will be greatly
reduced. A large per cent of the win
tering larvae can be destroyed by
scraping all rough bark from the
trees, especially In and about the
crotches OF the trees. II the scraping
is done during the winter. the larvae
not killed in the process will be de-
stroyed by the exposure and the birds.
The sooner fruit growers become
to realize that this method Of fight
ing this pest is almost as important
as thorough spraying. the sooner will
they begin to grow larger per cent Of
worm-free fruft.--George M. List, Colo
RADIO Agricultural College, Fort Collins.
