DEMANDS SAFETY
SIGNALS FOR THE IL
Commission Wants marlborough
to Equip Lines with Col
lision-Proof System.

Resolutions calling on the INTERIOR
ough to equip elevated lines with a
collision-proof signal system, were
adopted yesterday by the Public Ser
vice Commission. The company is to
report within sixty days on speed con-
troll cab signalling or other devices to
allow minimum Roadway and provide
maximum safety.
As passed, the resolution was an
amendment TO one offered several weeks
ago by Commissioner Cram. His reso-
luton required a final report by March
|, 1916, and a trial installation of a
new signal system by July l, 1915. The
amendment offered by Commissioner
Wood was a joke, Mr.. Cram said.
The chief engineer is to report as
to the strength of the elevated roads in
Manhattan and The Bronx. with view
to determining whether they will sup
port steel and composite cars after the
work now under way IS completed. If
il is found that the tracks will not be
strong enough for the heavier cars an
estimate is required as to the cost Of
strengthening them. The investigation
is to be made on the Second and Third
ay. lines first.

SIX PICKS
HER OWN GUARDIAN
Little Girl, Choosing Mother,
Settles Custody Case in
Supreme Court.

Virginia Roach, six years old, had TO
decide in the Supreme Court yesterday
whether her mother, Mrs. Alice NJ.
Roach, "A manicurist, or her father,
James Thomas Roach, chief gunner on
the battleship Florida, should be her
guardian. Virginia decided that she
wanted to stay with"mamma."
Justice Ford beckoned Virginia to
the bench.
"Do you like SCHOOL," he asked her.
"Yes," replied Virginia, unafraid.
"And you 20 to Sunday SCHOOL,"
eyes Santa Clause came and
brought me a doll and other things"
she volunteered.
Then Justice Ford got to the more
serious questioning.
as your mother good to you?" he
asked.
"Oh, yes" said the child.
After Virginia had expressed desire
TO 60 home with her mother, Justice
Ford told Roach he hoped the father
and mother of Virginia had got along
amicably since they were last in court.
The court said, in view of the fact that
the father was at sea so much of the
time, the child would be better off in
the care of her mother. Then the JUS
tice addressed Mrs. Roach and sug-
gested her mother get rid Of certain
boarders to whom Roach objected.
"They may be as pure as the driven
snow" said Justice Ford, "but in view
of the objection your husband has
raised to ono of them, your mother
should be able TO see, for your sake,
that it is best that they be not in the
house. Get some other boarders, If
necessary"
Bidding her father, who seemed much
detected, an aftectionate goodby, Nlr-
ginia left court with her mother.

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

How much of the amount you spend goes
for administration"
We are ALWAYS glad Of an opportunity to an
e,yer this question for only by such critical eA-
animation Of the work can the public satisfy IL
self as to the efficiency of systematic charity
Before the answer can be given there must
be a definite understanding about the exact
meaning of the word administration as used IN
family welfare work
The Association does not as many er-
roneouslv believe, investigate to learn Whether
or not the needy is deserving or worthy
We assume that all who apply tor our SER
vice are worthy Of some kind OF help.
Our inquiry is made for the same purpose as
the examination Of a physician in home IN
which sickness is present
1t is made to determine the kind of help
the applicant needs and we must give.
While this is being made, material aid Is
given the family to keep them from suffering.
Almost always the applicants needs are
greater than he himself realizes.
Our investigation or examination almost
ALWAYS shows that in addition to the food an ap-
plicant asks for, he needs Job, or more renu-
nerative work; or that some member OF his tam
ilv should have medical treatment, or advice as
TO management of home and income.
If we should only investigate, the family
would suffer for lack of the necessaries Of life.
IT, on the other hand, only the material needs
were relieved, the dependency would continue
and in the end the family would be no nearer
self-support
a combination of the two-examination and
treatment. which includes all of the material aid
necessarv-is the only way TO relieve the distress
and permanently to restore the family
Our Bureau of Relief last year spent S273-
1873 g. and of every dollar of this amount eighty
cents went for the relief described above.
In addition to what we gave in service and
aid we secured for the families in our care the
help of relatives, friends and employers, medical
treatment and nursing and convalescent care for
the needy sick
The cost Of what we secured for these
families, plus the money we saved by wholesale
buving and distribution, would amount approx
rnatelv to as much as the cost Of general admin
istration
We spent just for the necessaries of life
food clothing, rent, etc.-S5 228l3 more than
our current contributors gave us.
All food was purchased at wholesale and dis
tributed from our Food Supply Store.
If we had bought this same amount of food
At retail. as individuals would have had to do, we
should have had to spend approximately $4,000
more than we did for the produce and its de-
livery.

distribution, and judge of our efficiency for

PROBE FATAL BOXING
BOUT ON FLORIDA
Naval Officers Conduct lnvesti-
gation-Tar Dies After
Blow on Jaw.

An investigation is being made by
naval officers into the death of Edward
C. OFT, a seaman of the battleship
Florida, now at the navy yard, who
was killed in a boxing bout on the
battleship Saturday night. A sailor
named Patrick Walsh was boxing with
OFT and struck him on the jaw. The
latter fell. DIR. Richards, the ships
surgeon, said he died instantly. Both
OFT and Walsh were members Of the
landing party at Vera Cruz.
No report has yet been made as 20
the cause of the seaman's death, and
Captain H. b. Jones of the Florida
said last evening that nothing would
be done until the official report had
been received. Meanwhile Walsh Is
being held prisoner.
According to reports yesterday, a
group of young sailors gathered In
the music room of the Florida just
after mess. The conversation, it was
said, drifted to boxing. Walsh
spared with several men, it was said,
and finally it was proposed that OFT
should put on the gloves with him.
Walsh weighed $50 pounds aid his
opponent 100. After a few passes OFT
hit Walsh on the nose, and the latter

1t was said that Sailor" Grant was

OFT was twenty years old and en-
listed about a year ago from Indianap-
oils, Ind. Walsh enlisted about the
same time from Brooklyn.
Washington, Jan. Assistant Sec
rotary Franklin ID. Roosevelt said to-
night that no report has yet been re-
ceived by the Navy Department re-
garding the killing Of Edward q. OFT in
a boxing match aboard the battleship
Florida. but he ventured the opinion
that the death of the sailor was purely
accidental and probably the result of
an organic weakness of the boxer.
There have been very few deaths
from boxing matches in the navy" said
the Assistant Secretary. 81 do not re-
call that similar case has occurred
within the last three or four years.

Correct Methods Of Making Good

Building Can Be Made Ratproof With
Little Trouble and Slight Expense
Perfect Drainage 10 I'm
portant Requisite.

With the rapid decrease of our tim
ber supply and the resulting increase
in the price of lumber there has come
a necessary demand for new build
ing material. Nowhere has this de-
mand been felt more keenly than on
the American farm. where lumber has
till now been practically the only
building material.
In concrete a building material has
been discovered that in many instances
has proved to be far superior to lum-
Der, brick or building stones on ac-
count of its durability, economy and
safety from fire loss. Moreover. II
can very often be used at the most
convenient time by the farmer himself
with very little assistance
frequently cement users have made
costly mistakes by not informing
themselves properly before starting
their work concerning the correct
methods of making good concrete. For
this purpose the following materials
are necessary: ~ cement; (2) sand:
(3) gravel or crushed stone. and ~
water.
Cement lie, therefore, only one part
OF concrete mixture.. A far greater
proportion of sand and gravel than
cement is required. The quantity Of
cement to be used and the strength
of the concrete depends entirely on
the quality and size of the sand and
gravel. and 1t is of the utmost i'm.
portance that these be of the right
kind. With an equal amount of ce-
ment far stronger concrete may be
made II the sand and gravel are of
the proper size and correctly pro-
portioned. It is sometimes thought
that any kind OF soil Of sandy ma

of cement will make concrete. but
this idea is incorrect.
