OVER A BILLION BRICK.
Hudson River Region a Great Brick
Center.

The Hudson River region produced
1925, 900 bricks in 1913, valued at
$j,G36,O6l, according to statement
by jefferson Middleton, Of the United
States Geological Survey. Large as
these figures are, they show n decrease
of 2OGS79,0OO bricks and S1,497,1l6 in
value compared with 1912.
New York City is the leading mar
let for common brick i'm the United
States, hundreds of millions of brick
being used there annually. The prin-
cipal source of this supply Is the Hud-
son River region, extending from New
York to Cohoes on both sides of the
river. Bergen County, n. j., has also
contributed largely To this market, and
within the last two years the Rari-
tan River region. located in MiddleseX
county y. j., has sent the larger por-
ton of its output of common brick to
the New York market Connecticut
also il at times a factor in the New
York brick market. The water trans
poriat!On enjoyed by the Hudson River
yards and those located in the Hacken-
sack and Raritan districts, however.
gives them n great advantage, and il
Is only when prices are hieh-say
above 81 a thousand-that Connecticut
brick can profitably enter New York
City market. AS prices were unusual
~ low in 1913. few If any Connecticut
brick were shipped to New York dur
ing that year.
The principal use of the brick made
in the Hudson River region is and
probably always will he in the build
ing industry of New York Notwith-
standing the fact that the cXpendi-
lures for building operations in New
York City decreased about 81 per cen;
in 1913 compared with 1912, the num-
Der of brick marketed decreased less
than half as much, thus SLOWING that
the use of brick in building is expand
ing and that they are also being used
more extensively than ever before for
other purposes, such as sewers and
subways. The back To brick" cam
paign is apparently having its effect
not only on the demand for common
brick, but also on that for the higher
grades of building brick and other CLAW
products, such as hollow building
brick. tile, and terra Gotta.
The AVERAGE price obtained for the
bricks in 1913 was $3.50 thousand.

HEROINE OF SIGNAL BOX.
Woman Leaves Dying Husband to
Make Safe Passage of TraIn.

| \ sorry Of dramatic hcroism. roadina
| like a tragic melodrama. is told in the
! Paris newspapers in describing the
murder Of polntyman rlm,d puullain
While he was on duty on the line from
81. Louis to Eperany, on tie main Par
is-Chantilly line.
i"u'Idin. who was age 81, lived with
his wife and anothc~ family in a small
cottage close to his signal box, at
rieucfttc. about fifteen miles from
iJlis, and both Of the poullains were
.ertil"otcJ servants of the company.
Tfosc boxes are only entrusted 10
tIiod employees, as the express service
py day ana night IS almost perpetual,
requiring easing vigilance
The work was shared between Poul-
lain and his wife, and soon after 3 in
l"c morning the woman, hearing a cry,
ran down and found her husband lying
on the thr' shold just able to say:
Help ! am being murdered"
Shouting aloud he began to attend
Ioullaln, when she heard the soma
phorc ben giving warning OF the APP
preaching 3:O9 train. and, leaving her
d\ Ing husband, she rushed to save the
lives Of the passengers by working the
points, which she alone now under
stood
The whole time she continued crying
at the top Of her voice, and she saw
frSt their son and then the ncighbCis
come out and pick up tie wounded
man, but though half heartbroken and
shaken with sobs, she remained at her
post FOR the passage 81 the Calais boat
train due at 1880.
This she stopped, and Poullain, un-
conscious, but still breathing, was
placed on board and conveyed to Par
Is. while his heroic wife refused to quit
the levers TIN in the morning. when
finally she was relieved by another
signalman. II was only then that the
poor creature broke down in a long
fainting fit, and as soon as she rccov-
ored she took the train see her hus-
band. when she found dead.
The courage ana almost sublime de-
votion Of the wife In taking her dying
husbands place and leaving others to
tend his last moments Will stand bigh
among the records of heroism claimed
for the humble servants OF the public.
