Raritan Copper Works in
Perth AmbOy Lays Off 500
Men Because of the War
Special to the Evening Star.

PERTH AMBOY. Aug. S.-The Rar-
itan Copper Works today laid off
more than 500 men. At the general
office of the concern it was declared
that If the war progresses for any
length of time about half of their
1000 employees will be thrown out of
work This will mean a general tie
up of the furnace departments of the
plant.
At the American Smelling and Re-
fining Company's plant and the
United Lead works, work is brisk
A large supply of lead, gold and sill
yer is on hand The supply will last
several weeks. If the commerce Is
held up longer than that time, then
the force will be greatly reduced
This will mean about 5000 men will
be made idle in and about this city
by the war,

weather, got his team home in fair
shape, and it looks fifty points better
than it looked a month ago.
Cincinnati's team, when l saw it at
Alexandria, La, early in March, was
in better condition than it is today.
Instead of staying there and coming
up ready to start the season. it jump
ed north into cold, rain and snow,
played on cold, soggy fields and went
back. Chicago's Cubs, leaving Tam
pa, were in fit condition to meet any
one. Now they are wrecked as to
condition. The Chicago White Sox,
luckiest of all the clubs this spring,
found the best weather they ever
have had in California, came home
by easier stages, and had only two
days of cold weather before the sea-
son started. CaIlahan's present
standing shows the value of having
pitchers ready to work at top speed
before the other clubs get started hit
ting.
Pittsburgh has the most uniformly
well trained team of either league.
They go to Hot Springs, work hard,
and this spring they had little better
luck with weather than usual. They
do not stay. south nearly as long as
many others, and the men are ready
and not weary of the game before the
season starts. -t.l Is.
So far as actual effect upon the
pennant races is concerned, the
White .Sox, the Pirates and Browns

'PegO My Heart a, comedy drama by J.. Hartley Manners, which has had a long run dn New York city, is pre- scented in Bridgeport with an excep- tional cast by Oliver Morosco at the Park theatre. At the opening per formances yesterday, audiences greet ed the work or the individual artists enthusiastically.
 nhe play revolves about the des- tinies of little Peg sent into an aris- tocratic English household for educa~ ton. She is indeed a charming bit of Celtic wit and warmth thrust into an atmosphere that is chilly. The part is exceptionally we'll taken in the local company by Miss Dorothy Mackeye, while Miss Florence Hart portrays the part of Ethel with 8. ffrmness and cold hauteur that clinches her conception of the role.
 Harry Scarbore excellent1y appears aS butler, Yorke ESrskine is all that can be expected in the part of Alarfc, while Edwin Dalbys Seth Smith and Alfred Cross score in their respective the characters assigned them, display ing deep study o9 situations and char acter. Miss Adele Hughes is seen as the maid
 Peg O My Heart is 6. charming piece, well acted. and should receive that support that is due a good pro d1ctfon.

TWO MORE CRASHES ADD TO ACCIDENT
 ERA OF TROLLEYS

Two trolley accidents on the Mil ford division of the Connecticut com. pany's lines marked Sundays prelude to Labor Day festivities The first was near Woodmont, when 3, car bound to Bridgeport closely followed by a. second car stopped suddenly and the rear car crashed into it. The next accident was just beyond Washington bridge where a. rear end collision is laid to slippery rails on a down grade
 The accidents are ascribed by the company to the passing of signals by motormen, while passengers who have ridden over the division recently pro- test that more than one car is often run in the same block at high speed and quite frequently without the for mality of having tail lights.
 While none were fatally injured, Miss Belle King, 470 Bishop avenut, taken from the wreckage of the sec internal injuries which were treated by Dr. De Ruyter Rowland before she could be taken to her home.
 A list of those injured in the first crash includes ENIa Aaken. 354 Nichols street, 1acerations, abrasions and bruises; Mrs. John Hart, Fifth street extension, deep cut on the cheek. bruises and shock; Mrs. T. R. Flaw ley, Central avenue, bruises and shock; T. R. Haw1ey, shock; Fred Laurisden, Bridgeport, shock. Joseph uNdrphy, James Quinn, Fred w. Rob erts and Waiter Webb, living else where in the state, also received minor painful injuries.
 In both accidents glass was smashed throughout the car and at Woodmont many jumped or were thrown from the car at the moment of impact The cars were well filled with women and children returning from the carnival at Savin Rock.

CRIMSON CIOVER AND
 HAIRY VETCH SEED PRICES

washington, Sept. 4.-Prices for inn ported crimson clover and hairy vetch seed have recently shown such a marked upward tendency that special ists of the Department of Agriculture fear that the cost of these seed, of which Europe is the chief source, will interfere with the increasing use of these 1eguminous cover crops. In fact, it is feared that the prices of the seed of these 1egunes may go so high as to make it inadvisable to plant them this year.
 Before the present European con ditions arose, crimson clover seed was selling at from $4 to $5 per bushe1. Up to August 15 there was a scarcity of this seed in the United States, ow- ing to the fact that the receipts from Europe were smaller than usual The prices then advanced to from $7.50 to -$9 per bushe1. Since that date inn portations have continued to arrive, until there is now more imported seed available for fall seeding than there was in this country a year ago at this time. This seed, according to the Departments information, was all inn ported at approximately the same price as that sold for $4 to $4.50 per bushel in the early part of the season. The present high price, therefore, is regarded by the Department un- warranted from the standpoint of the supply and the import price of the seed. Some dealers are continuing to sell at the former price, but these are exceptions.
 E If the present high price Is main rtafned, the specialists are doubtful whether crimson clover can be prof itab1y used as a green manure crop for seeding in corn vacant ground, or under other conditions where the catch is not reasonably cer- tain. Under such conditions they point out that it will be better prac- tice to SOW rye this fall and use the difference in price in adding nitrogen to the soil in the form of nitrate of soda or some other highly nitrogenous fertilizer. The rye will afford win ter cover preventing washing and teaching, and can be p1owed under in the spring to add humus to the soil.
 When crimson clover is being used regularly g. winter cover crop in or chard culture, or where local experi- ence indicates that a good catch and a good crop are practically certain, payment of a higher price for the seed will doubt be justified.
 A somewhat similar condition exists with reference to hairy vetch seed. There has been approximately six sevenths as much seed imported since November 1, 1913, as in the year pre- vious. This shortage, however, is partly counter-balanced by the in creasing domestic production of hairy vetch seed. Wherever the price of hairy vetch seed is found to be exorbf- tant, the same change in farm prac- tfce is recommended as that suggested in the case of crimson clover.
