ACID FUMES POISON FIREMEN.
Seventeen Men Disabled Hours After
They Inhale Nitric Acid Gas.

New York, April 24.--Nitric acid fumes
inhaled Thursday by squad of fremer
and at first unnoticed, operated like slow
poison during the night, with the result
that yesterday IL firemen We're in hos

houses. some of them critically i'll. One
of the II lost his mental equilibrium
during the night Thursday, and jumped
from his bed, and ran in his nightclothes
through the street. This occurred five
hours after the firemen had inhaled the
fumes and was the first indication of
illness. One by one the men became
stricken thereafter in quick succession.
The fumes were inhaled when the firemen
answered a call sent in from the factory
OF the Sheffield Standard Plate Go. in
Canal street. There was no fire. but a
30 gallon carboy of acid had overlooked
and formed heavy yapor. Seeing this
and mistaking il for smoke, a policeman
turned in the alarm. When the nature
OF the vapor was learned the firemen
were ordered away and the rescue squad,
protected by oxygen helmets, was sum
moned. They bailed out the acid with
buckets and were unaffected by the
fumes.

Home and the School.

| In all the fret and worry of giving the
boys and girls of to-day better educa
tion than the youngsters of the not
recent past obtained, there is para
dox which escapes notice in the gener-
al turmoil. 1t is this: The worry is
public; not private. One might expect
that the interest would be felt in the
home. but one finds that it is felt more
in public ASSEMBLIES than anywhere else.
Were half the interest in education
taken in the home that is revealed on
the outside it would not be such prob
lem as it now appears. 1t looks as if
too many parents were not only willing
but anxious to turn their children over
to the schools to be made into men and
women by the educational machine.
There comes to mind an example of
cooperation between the home and the
school of a type not uncommon in its
time but which probably is not match
ed in many homes to-day; the parents
are so busy doing something else. In
this home were three boys who took
as much interest in their stamp collec-
ton as they did in their school work
1t was just the opportunity for which
the father was looking. Buying stamps
which would appeal strongly to the
youthful mind, he announced that the
boy who wrote the best short essay on
the country from which the stamp came
would be awarded the ownership of the
coveted prize.
Here was a competition of useful
kind. Ii quickened the boys interest in
their school work, or at least in their
end English. There was some
thing tangible at the end of we'll
learned lesson. II was a good healthy
stimulus TO better work.
That father did not leave ii all TO |
the school teacher. The home became
the partner of the school. Which is
the right way, and the only way by |
which the best results can be obtained
Home and school cannot be divorced;
the parent cannot leave it all to the
.eacher. Parents who think differently

The Spaulding Ball ,Tossers
Toyed with an Alum
nj Team
THREE PITCHERS
STINGY WITH HITS
While the High School Lads
Slugged the Ball for a
II to @ Shutout

Yesterday afternoon at the Lincoln
campus Spaulding high school defeated
the Spauldng alumni to shutout at Q
game of baseball, with score of II to
In the beginning the high school lad'
took the lead and kept up their scoring
to the end of the game. Many changes
were made by both teams during the
play, three different pitchers being used
by the high school and two by the alum
nj.
| Neither succeeded in scoring the first
inning. kidder led in the pitching for
the younger team and Harry Fisher start
ed the staff work for the older team. The
latter being somewhat out OF practice,
was touched up for several hits, but Kid
der pitched good ball and held his men
down in good order. Later when the
team was well in the lead, OLIVER went
into the box and no scores were made off
him, although he was hit rather hard.
For the last two innings Tomasi went to
the mound g,..lng three strikeouts in
that time.
The Spaulding team showed up in ex-
cellent form for the first game Of the sea
son, hitting the ball hard and getting a
total of IA hits. Their fielding was of a
good quality, many good plays being
made. Smith, who was selected to hold
down the second sack, did credit to him
self, getting seven putouts, including
double play and also three assists. Err
rors were not very plentiful, only six be-
ing made in all and four of them by the
high school.
Johnson, who is new on the team this
year, proved himself a good man by get
ting two hits and getting sent to first
the third time by being hit. He had one
chance in his position at left field and
succeeded in pulling down a fly that
looked like a hit. Geddes, another new
player, went into the cateher's box at
the beginning of the fourth inning, TAX
ing the place of Levin, who was handi-
capped by the lameness OF his arm. He
caught good game and also hit the ball,
but failed TO get a safe one, as Stuart
made good catch and robbed him of the
hit.
oliver of the high school team did
Justice TO his batting average by knock |
ing out three Dagger and the next time
up two Dagger. Others hit hard. there |
being three other two-base hits and the |
same number of three base hits. These, /
with the singles, amounted 10 Ia in all. /
The high school pitchers were rather
'paring in giving hits. allowing the alum.

WORLDS WHEAT OUTLOOK.
Almost Universal Movement to Expand
Winter Acreage.

Washington, ID. c., April 24.---Grea
impetus to an almost universal move
ment to expand the world wheat acre
age this year is noted in the Agriculture
Outlook, issued yesterday.
Rapidly advancing prices, excited
markets and enormous transactions il
wheat, vague apprehensions of the event
ual exhaustion Of supplies in others, and
a sub-conscious realization of the calam
ltous consequences of any material
shortage in the world crop in 1915, with
other causes" are responsible, says the
departments official publication.
Winter wheat has been sown on an ex-
tensive scale in the northern hemisphere,
except in some of the countries at war.
Canada, the United States and British
India show an increase of 100000 acres.
In Germany and the British Isles the
acreage is more than last year, but in
Russia it is less. The warning Europ-
can nations ordinarily sow about $4,000
600 acres and it is generally admitted
there has been reduction, apparently
for the most part in France, Austria
Hungary and Serbia
Heavy sowings OF spring wheat were
expected but present indications do not
point to the large increase once antici-
pated Owing to the prolonged closing
OF the Dardanelles, Russia's surplus
wheat from last harvest is believed to
be very heavy. The depressing effect
of this surplus seems to be having a
restraining influence upon spring wheat
seeding operations. A probable reduc
ton of 10 to Is per cent in the Russian
area would go far towards neutralizing
the expected heavy increase in all other
spring wheat countries and leave the
worlds acreage little, if any, larger than
last years.

ADD TO GERMAN
WIRELESS
U. S. Likely to Permit In
crease Of Power at
Sayville
BUILD A 500
FOOT TOWER
The Plant Is to Be One Of
the Most Powerful
in the World

Washington, April 24.-The depart
ment of commerce is expecting within {
day or two report from its inspector il
Charge of the New York radio district OF
the increasing of the plant of the wire
less station of the Atlantic Communca
ton Co. at Sayville, l.. /. There is ne
doubt that permit for the enlarged sta
tion will be issued.
Inspectors of the department have beer
making the usual examinations of the
plant in connection with the issuance OF
a license. The information which has
reached the department is that the sta
ton will be increased from 35 to between
100 and $50 kilowatts, with proportion
ate increases in power in the plant
which will probably make it the most
powerful in the United States, not ex-
cepting that at Tuekerton, N. j.
The change in power was necessary to
overcome climatic conditions. Formerly
inclement weather interfered with the
sending and receiving of messages from
the Sayville station with the powerful
government station at Ndueil, hermdHf.
The stations are 1000 miles apart. The
first wireless message from the Sayville
plant to that at Nauen was sent Feb. IL.
1914. The line is the only means lett to
Germany for communication with the
outside world since her cables were sew
cred by the British.
The present 200-foot towers at the
station must now be replaced by 500-foot
towers. This work will take little time,
as the new towers have already been put
together and need only be swung into
position. 1t is reported that the entire
new plant, from dynamos to towers, was
manufactured in Germany and taken to
New York on steamer of the Holland
American line. Six freight cars were
necessary to transport the plant from
Long Island City to Sayville.
The reconstructed plant will be one of
the most powerful in the world. The
work of transformation has been carried
on so quietly that cot even the natives
of Sayville realized what was going on
until recently when the frames OF the
new towers lifted toward the sky.
