did a single member of the House

The total vote of these five men, IL

was exec eded by one man who is now
member of the House, and yet the
five, because they happen to occupy
the strategic position on the COM

Riverside Drive today, as thousands
of barrels of oil were consumed in
the plant of the Valvoline Oil Com
pany, Edgewater, n. J.
For hours acres of blazing oil float
ed down the surface of theHudson,
threatening to set fire to the wharves
further down the stream.
The Edgewater fire department had
to call for aid on the neighboring vii
lage of Cliffside, on the Palisades.
and to New York for the fireboat
Duane. Several hundred employees
worked for hours with the firernen.
The lubricating department and its
storehouses were seen to be doomed
soon after the start of the fire, and a
tank containing l2,0o0 gallons of gaso-
line was threatened.
This stood close to the lubricatinE oil
tanks which were throwing out so in
tense q heat that II was feared the huge
tank would explode.
Half q dozen streams of water were
kept playing directly upon it for thret
hours, while the f1remen with Other

That Were Condemned

Life RATS of the type on the sunken
steamer Monroe were condemned and
ordered out Of commission on December
q. last. according to information now
In the hands Of members Of the House
Merchant Marine Committee
Capt James Leyland, superintendent
Of the Old Dominion Steamship Com
pany, has admitted that these RATS,
known as the Curley type, were put on
the Monroe twelve years ago. They
have been condemned on coastwise and
ocean steamers, but an extension OF
ninety days was granted steamship
companies to install modern RATS.
The Monroe's RATS accommodated
fewer persons than those of any other
boat Of the Old Dominion line. There
were six RATS on the Monroe because
Leyland considers RATS safer and more
satisfactory than lifeboats. The Mon
roe RATS were composed of copper
cylinders. protected by canvas, but
there was only q net at the bottom and
persons in the rarts would be partly

OUR COUNTRY'S s FLAG
The usual shape of our flag is OBJ
long.
There are red, white and blue
stripes.
The blue part is called the field.
Our flag contains white stars.
There are fortyeight stars in the
flag, because there are forty-eight
states III our country.
There are only thirteen stripes in
our flag. because there were only
thirteen states when the flag was
made.
We use a flag in war, in fire
drill. on the Fourth of July, and
We use a flag at school, when we
sing the flag song. The soldiers use
flag to march with.

The Geibel Chorus
Of Wilmington

The Geibel chorus of Whining
ton will be in Newark Opera House
on the evening Of June 4th. With
out doubt this will be the greatest
entertainment ever given in New
ark if we may judge by the reputa-
ton it has made for itself in Will
mington. Already it has been re-
peated by urgent requests seven
times this season in the largest
auditoriums of the city and each
time it has had literally a packed
house.
Prof. King, the Director Of this
popular chorus, is a master at the
business, having done this kind of
work for years; but this year he
has eclipsed all previous records.
Philadelphia admirers who have
heard the chorus are urging him
to bring the chorus to that large
city.
The chorus will come to Newark
on the evening Of the entertain
