WAR BOOMS CLAYTON

Clayton, N. j., May 31.-A big Eur
opean order for chemicals will give an
early impetus to this towns industrial
boom, now that the Mason -McCarty
Company has announced it will open
its plant in the remodeled Moore Bros
Glass Works early next week.
The report is current that the new
concern has an order for $3,000,000
worth of chemicals. No one will con-
firm the size of this order, but the new
company has let it be known that its
first work will be to manufacture
Chemicals for foreign Government.
1t has also been careful to state that
the plant has not been started on any
boom in war trade, but that it will be
a permanent. industry and will engage
in the manufacturing of a general line
of chemicals.
Work has been going on for several
days in altering and remodeling the
larger buildings at the plant, which
has been idle since the glass company
went into the hands of a receiver,
years ago. Last fall the property was
sold by bondholders' committee to
the Clayton Development Company,
which has leased it to the chemical
company.
The new company expects to en-
ploy from 800 to 400 men. 1t will bring
expert chemists from other places, but
it has been announced that the local
men will get first chance at the new

AYEAR WITHOUT SUMMER

The year 1916 was known through
out the United States as the year with
out summer. January of that year
was so mild that most people would
have let their furnaces go out had
they possessed any, and February was
only occasionally colder
March and April coaxed the buds
and flowers out, and May was a win
ter month, with ice and snow. By the
end of May everything perishable had
been killed by the cold, and the young
leaves had been stripped from the
trees. June was as cold as May. Both
snow and ice were common through
out the month all over the corn belt,
and after having planted corn two or
three times, the farmers threw up
their hands. Snow fell ten inches deep
in Vermont.
The following winter was the hard
est the people of the United States
have ever known. One had to have
stockade around ones smokehouse.
There is a very large crop of straw
berries and prices in the market rule
low In addition to the big produc-
tion here there are great crops in
Delaware and Maryland. sa

WANT To

SEVERAL GRANTED
Expert Examiner Is Asking Many
Questions of WouId-Be
Citizens.

Judge Leroy w. Loder held ses-
sion of Naturalization yesterday morn
ing. There were IL applications for
naturalization papers.
The examiner, Mr.. F. s. Becker.
from the Philadelphia Office was a
very expert examiner, and his ques-
tions were very clearly and intelli-
gently given to the applicants to which
they could make intelligent reply in
most cases.
The applicants were Guy Mascara,
Giuseppe Gullo, Samuel Zeits, Emilio
Galletto, Morris Fucker, Francisco de
Luca, Antoni Oswold, Anthony Deluxe,
Louis Feinberg, Erick Henry Peter
son, George Ernest Pritchard, Edgar
Hamilton Harvey. The two last are
English
Antoni Oswold, desired to have his
name changed to Anton Oswald, which
the court granted.
Guy Mascaro's application having
been continued twice, was dismissed.
Gullo Galletto and Fuckers applica-
tions were continued.
Samuel Zeits and francesca De Lu-
ca were the first to pass the examina-
ton
Louis Feinberg had rather tough
time in his examination although he
has resided in this country 20 years,
he was unable to answer many of the
inquiries asked of him. His case was
continued, and he was instructed to
study up for the Septen GER examina-
ton.
The application Of Edgar Hamilton
Harvey was granted, so were those
of Erick Henry Peterson and George
Ernest Pritchard.
The actual dismissal was that OF
Guy Mascara, but rule was taken in
the cases of Gullo, Galetto and Fucker
and dismissal will, in all probability,
follow.
Oswald, Deluxe and Feinberg were
continued.
Court adjourned.

A PLEA FOR
COMMON SENSE

Vocational Guidance, Vocational
Training and the Correlation of the
vocational Work of the Day and Eve
ming Schools, will be the topic for
discussion at the monthly conference
of superintendent, supervisors and
principals at the Girls Industrial
School.
That is in Newark, and illustrates
one method of wasting money and the
valuable time of children under our
high-pressure public school system.
Children, except in rare cases of the
genius type, are incapable of deter
mining a vocational preference. and
nobody has right to determine for
them. Give the child common-sense
education that will fit him or her for
any of the ordinary works of life. and
the public is discharging it's duty to
its wards. Cumbering the child with
a smattering of non-essentials is mere
ly adding handicap for life's race.
There are no trades today-every-
thing, every part of trade is special
lied. To become an all-around me-
chanic of the old type a young man or
woman of today would have to master
half dozen or more features of a
single trade or calling. Employ the
most competent educators on solid ed
ucational lines-men and women who
can and will teach children the essen
tials of practical education-pay such
instructors liberal salaries, and lei
nom essentials take care of themselves
Common school, children will fare
we'll on the beefsteak, potatoes, vege.
tables, bread, butter and wholesome
homemade dishes of education; those
who wish fancy salads, pastries, ricf
sauces and rare menus let them pa.
tranize the Great White Way of ar

WONDERFUL
HOTEL THIS
Traymore Open in Allan
tic City.
NEW HOUSE.
One of the Greatest Caravansaries
in the World on the
Beach Front.

Atlantic City, June 1.-The Hotel
Traymore opens its doors today for
the reception of guests. This mono
lithic house of concrete and steel COM
bines every want or desire visitors
may request and represents an outlay
of over $2,OOO,0O0.
Parts of the hotel are not entirely
completed, but with double force of
workmen doing double duty it is hoped
to have everything ready within very
short time.
One objection to the resort hotel in
summer is the possibility of erowdlng.
The general rooms of the Traymore
have been made so ample, in proper
tion to the number of guests, and the
building has been supplied with such
large porches and open air hooks that
there is no possibility, even when the
hotel is filled to the limit of it's capac-
ity, bf confusion or crowding.
The main domes of the Traymore
are one foot higher than the Bunker
Hill Monument. 1t is the highest
point on the Atlantic Coast south of
| the Statue of Liberty
The exchange is fioored and finished
| in marble of three colors, with open
parl6rettes and sheltered angles. The
main corridor would permit a trio of
college athletes to run hundred yard
race.
The american dining room could
dine, at small tables, the President, his
CasaLet, all the Senators, all the Mem
bers of the House of Representative
and all the Ambassadors and Foreign
Legations in Washington, and there
would still be covers for nearly hun
dred other statesmen AZ 49,.
The restaurant la carte has bal
cony for the orchestra and for an un-
usual f1ux of patrons. All the mem
bers of the British House of Commons
could be served there with the roast
beef of Old England" or the French
Chamber of Deputies with the petite
marmite" from the ''roulantes" of the
Cafe de Paris.
On the covered porch fronting the
Boardwalk and beach, the national
president of the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs could address two thou
sand of the members.
Porches, so seldom seen in Europe,
are Characteristic of American hotels.
If the Traymore were filled to the linn
1t with guests, and if each guest invit-
ed friend from another hotel, there
would be space on the porches for all
to enjoy the sea breezes in steamer
chairs 20

AUTO RUN
TO ATLANTIC

Atlantic City, June members of
the committee on auto runs in con-
junction with Atlantic City's Carnival
mapped out plans last night at a
meeting at the Chalfonte. 1t was de-
cided to offer handsome cups as tro-
phies and promote runs from Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Chester,
Newark and Trenton and live South
Jersey towns.
With the Carnival as an attraction,
it is believed an enormous flood of au-
tomobile travel can be turned this
way by judicious management, and
just that is the plan of procedure the
committee has in mind.
Committeeman will visit all of these
places and interest leading clubs and
motorists. 1t is expected that the
Quaker City Motor Club, the Automo-
bile Club of Philadelphia, the Franklin
automobile Club and the Lu Lu Tenn
pie Motor Club will bring down many
machines from the Quaker City.
The South Jersey towns which are
to be asked to send their motorists
shoreward for Atlantic City's big show
are Bridgeton, Millville, Salem, Vine
land, Mount Hollv, Camden and Bur-
lington.
The members of the Automobile
Runs Committee are: William Will
liams, chairman; George T. Lippin-
colt, Harvey X. Eaton, G. Hays Deem
er, w. Chandler Stewart, Samuel P.

The WATER PLANT
Filters Improved and Experiment
tai Areating System In
stalled at Work.
Bridgeton, N. j., June 1, 1915

Bridgeton, n j., June 1, 1915.
To the President and Members Of
City Council,
Gentlemen:
During the week ending May 29th,
we finished making the changes to the
fliters that were ordered by the City
Council and now have them in good
working order. The total cost of the
| change made is about 100000, this in
cludes the new re-wash, valves and
installation, the removal of the air
compressor from the old plant at Com
| merce Street and installing the aera-
ton system at the filtration works.
The aerating system has been fin
| ished and is ready to use at any time
when it is necessary to use it and We
hope that it will do what is expected
of it. We have made a few more
changes to the Platt Pumping Engine
and they are now running very smooth
| ly, but some more work will have to
| be done on the steam end of them be-
| fore they can be made to work to our
satisfaction which will be taken care
of as soon as convenient.
Permits for water taps, four.
Sewers
All the sewers that were ordered
were finished last week, and are in
use. The Walnut Street sewer exten-
sion has exceeded our estimated fig
urs somewhat, because of the extra
amount of clay that was found in the
trenches. On the whole trench we had
to dig through from to it. of hard
clay that looked as if it had no water
on it for ten years. We are at pres
ent placing new manholes at Walnut
Street and Irving Avenue and Walnut
and Parker Streets, then the whole
Walnut Street line will be in a good
condition as far as cleaning out the
sewer is concerned. We would sug-
gest to you that there is no time like
| the present to have the Commerce st.
sewer extended to East Avenue and all
connections made as mentioned in our
last report.
We have a communication from Wal
| lace & Tiernan in regard to the Chlor-
inc Gas Machine ordered last year, and
they state that they have it now per-
fected to their satisfaction and will be
ready to install the same within few
days.
Thirteen applications for sewer taps
have been issued during the last two
weeks.
