Millions in Jersey Trees.
New Jersey has shade trees to the
value of about SIT, 0O0, 900, according
to a census, the first ever taken in the
State, just completed by State For
ester Alfred Gaskill. The limit of
value at which Mr.. Gaskill assessed
tho larger trees was 500, and while
he admits that the scale Of values
was arbitrary, he thinks it was conser-
valve.
The census is based upon the reports
Of the shade tree commissions in the
state, numbering more than fifty. Only
those trees appearing to have ten
years or more life were tailed and
those badly injured or entirely out of
place were ignored.
Though the figure is almost too
great for belief" said Mr.. Gaskill in
discussing the total value, there Is
no doubt that it represents less rather
than more than the actual value of
the shade trees as they now stand
They could not be reproduced for twice
that sum-"

Bills for the Legislature.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-Two hundred representa-
tives of seacoast towns and cities at
tended the conference held at the
Statehouse here to discuss protection
of the coast from storms. The con
ference was called by Governor Field
er at the instance OF the New Jersey
Chamber of Commerce and that or
~ganization will draft legislation to be
presented at the 1915 session.
The district engineers of the United
States Army in charge of New Jersey
harbor and coast work and the State
Harbor Commission attended the SEES
sion.
The meeting was presided over by
General William C. Hepp enheimer,
president of the State Chamber of
Commerce body, while Governor
Fielder sent his secretary, L. Edward
Hermann, to express his attitude To
the effect that he believed efforts
should be made to prevent further de-
struction along the coast.
Addresses were made by General
Heppenheimer, Congressman Thomas
J.. Scully, Perth Amboy; State Senator
John w. Slocum, of Monmouth Coun-
ty: Colonel Frederick B. Allen, Of the
United States Engineering Corps, and
numerous representatives Of the coast
towns.
They were unanimous in the opin-
Ion that the problem is a serious one,
and that immediate steps should be
taken for the preservation of property.
The plan favored is to have the Fed
eral and State Governments and the
counties and municipalities concerned
cooperate in bringing about legisla-
ton that will prevent such damage in
the future.
General Heppenheimer said: This
is not only an engineering, but fnan-
ciAl problem. 1t is hoped that out of
this meeting may evolve a comprehen-
sige plan, which may be submitted to
tbS New Jersey Legislature and Con-
grsss, and which equitably apportion
ttss responsibility and cost between
hS State, counties, municipalities and
owners of private property"
A~ssemblyman Godfrey, of Atlantic
CITY, in speaking of the project of
protecting New Jerseys coast. said
thu most expedient way is to get aid
of the Democratic Congressman and
to have them secure an appropriation
from Congress to begin the work. Mr..
Godfrey declared, he believed that an
appropriation could be easily obtain
ed. He pointed out that New Jerseys
interests in general were highly re-
garded by the Washington authorities,
because of President Wilson's connec-
tions with this State as Governor. An
otker reason he gave was that New
jersey is the home of Secretary Of
W&r Garrison.

O1ce and workshop management
has. In some large businesses, been
brought practically TO the point Of SCI
ence. Books have been written on
the subject, and lots OF curious little
facts have been ascertained by those
who have studied It Once STATS, for
instance, work best in windy weather.
As do all brain workers. the reason be-
Ing that In windy weather the ordi-
nary more or less exhausted city at
uosphere Is driven out by volumes
Of fresh oxygen. There is the same
difference In the quantity and quality
Of work done in Offices as there Is be-
tween that done in unventilated and
ventilated workshops, and for the
same reason. No brain worker works
IS keenly In a stuffy room as In an
airy one. Damp. dull weather has lit
tie or no effect on the output of work
In Offices, but 1t has in workshops.
Manual labor is less efficient in damp
than In dry air. The reason is that
moist air acts as a conductor of cleo
trcity and drains away the natural
electricity OF the body into the ground.
This does not affect the brain. but only
the muscles and the Spirits.
