WILL ELIMINATE
CROSSINGS HERE

According to figures obtained from
railroads, Alderman F. William Hill
ker estimates that it would cost
approximately 1925, 1000 to eliminate
the four alleged dangerous grade
crossings in this city. Just what
form of elimination of this amount
would pay for, has not been ascer-
tanned. However, Mr.. Hilker states,
the sum is not anywhere near what
priminent railroad official told him
that elimination of the four grade
crossings in question would cost. He
was told that to eliminate the cross
ings would cost "in the millions"
Mr.. Hilker is almost as eager a
booster for grade crossing elimina-
ton as he is for a municipal electric
fight plant, which he has fathered.
He ascertained from literature sent
out by the Pennsylvania, Central and
other railroads interested hereabouts
that sixty-fiye grade crossings could
be eliminated for $2,000,000. This
figure would make approximately
$4,000 per crossing. making about
$125,000 for the four crossings here.
The figures obtained by Mr.. Hilker
were from circulars and pamphlets
issued in the fight of the railroads
for the repeal of the full crew bill.
They claimed that about $2,000,000
was lost in extra salaries necessary
through the operation of the full
crew law, and held that this amount
would pay for the elimination of
sixty-tive grade crossings.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Jamesburg, March 22:-Four per-
sons were injured Saturday night
shortly after l o'clock, on the road
between this place and Englishtown
when the earry-all in which they
were riding was overturned, due to a
fractions team taking fright at a
dangling trace and the letting down
of the tongue of the vehicle. Three
of the quartette are in st. Francis
hospital, Trenton, where they were
rushed after being given temporary
treatment by DR.. William e. Ander-
son, who was called to the scene of
the fatality. The other member of
the party was able to return to his
home after being treated for
bruises.
OF the four injured and the three
in the Trenton hospital are; Albert
Levine, broken collar bone, four
fractured ribs; Mrs. Albert Levine,
broken right arm; Mrs. Jennie Bel
kin, fractured skull.
OF the trio Mrs. Belkin is consid-
cred the most dangerously hurt. She
also suffered many cuts of minor i'm
portance about the body. Mr.. Levine
was also considered to be in a criti-
cal condition as the attending physi-
clans are unable to definitely deter
mine the extent of his injuries as
they are confined internally with the
exception of the broken collar bone.
In all DIR. Anderson said that he had
suffered at least one hundred cuts
and bruises and was unable to ascer-
tain the number with the facilities at
hand.
Wagon is Wrecked.
Mrs. Belkin and Mrs. Levine are
sisters and with their husbands, leas-
ed the George Perrine farm twosyears
ago coming from New York city. The
party was family group who had
been to Englishtown to make some
purchases and were on their way
home when the accident happened.
When the horses took fright they
were opposite the home of Mrs.
Pollman and after getting beyond the
control of the driver dashed down
the roadway until opposite the gar
age of Thomas Davis, when the
horses crashed into telegraph pole,
each miraculously taking either side
of the pole. The vehicle was smash
ed to bits and the four passengers
left in semi-conscious mass, being
too badly frightened and injured to
move.
Thomas Davis was the first to
reach the scene and with the assist
ance of several others the injured
were extricated from the tangled
mass and taken to the office of DR..
William e. Anderson, who gave tenn
porary relief. Harry Serman, of
was pressed into ser
vice and carried the injured to st.
Francis hospital, Trenton, where all
was in readiness for them. Mr.. Bel
kin, husband Of one of the injured
parties lies critically i'll ON his farm
and continually cries for his wife
and the fact that she was so badly
injured has been kept from him,
fearing that the shock may cause
his death. The horses were uninjur-
ed and we're caught short distance
down the roadway and taken to the
farm after the injured had been sent
to Trenton.

Security stamps" said she, "1'll save
Till am ready for the grave.

I'll get these stamps from every
where;
With every purchase, high or low,
A trading stamp has got to 60"
She saved and saved as days went

Her stock of stamps scared to the

And then she called her friends to see
The climax of security.

And get a handsome pickle dish.

Little Josephine Scott
Dies Suddenly

Little Josephine Scott died on
Thursday afternoon last from pneu-
monia. Josephine was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph M. Scott, of
Lawton avenue, Grantwood.
Thursday afternoon the sufferer
seemed to become much better, and
the family began to hope that the
worst was over. But as evening APP
preached, she became worse, and at
half past seven all was over. DR..
Huger was in attendance during the
illness.
The child had been sick for several
weeks with a severe cold, which de-
veloped into pneumonia. The best of
care was given her, and a trained
nurse had been procured.
Josephine was nine years old at
her death. She had received her first
education at Fort Lee Convent, and
later had gone to Grantwood school.
The funeral will be tomorrow from
the home. Interment will be in Wood
lawn cemetery.

HINTS FOR THE HOME

When steaming potatoes put a
cloth over them before putting the
lid on. They will take much less time
to cook, and be much more mealy than
when done in the ordinary way.
A piece of white oilcolth placed at
the foot of dark stairs will warn
those who are descending that the
last stair is reached, and thus save
an unpleasant fall or jar to the
system.
Before using a new saucepan add
lump of soda and some potato peel
ings and let it boil for some hours
Then wash out thoroughly, and all
danger from poisoning from the tin
lining will be gone.
A man should begin to push himself
forward in the world when he is
young. The roads to success lift
are open to every youth, and it en-
tirely depends upon himself whether
he gets on well or not.
When lemons are hard cover them
with boiling water and stand them
aside to cool. They will then appear
fresh and full of juice. Neither will
the juice seem in the least diluted by
any water absorbed.
To remove grease stains from wall
paper mix pipeclay with water to the
| consistency of cream, spread over the
marks, allow to remain for two days,
then remove with stiff brush, and
the stains will have disappeared.
The following is light cheese
pudding, much more easily digested
than plain toasted cheese, which was
at one time favorite with many,
eaten with oatmeal cake or toasted
bread:-Cut up the cheese into small
pieces and place in saucepan. Mix
two tablespoonfuls of corn flour in a
breakfast cupful of milk and pour into
the saucepan. Allow to boil for a
few minutes. Take off the pan and
add a well-beaten egg.
The frequent variations of tempera-
ture during the spring makes it
highly dangerous to change children's
clothing too hurriedly. 1t is a mis-
take, Immediately a hot day comes,
to pack away the warm "woolies"
and take out the lighter summer
clothes. Many serious cough and
illness has been the result of this pre-
mature change. The alteration from
winter clothing should be gradual
Wool should always be worn next to
the skin, as this protects the child
from sudden chills, and thick vest

1t is well to put the potato seed

grow in the earth. They need to have
earth about them-above as well as

to cover the seed. 1t does not come
up quite so soon, but it will grow
faster after it does come up, and bear
a better crop.
