Bobbie Craymer's
Automobile Burned
In Big Hoboken Fire

Bobbie Craymer has for a number
of months been Palisades most en-
thusiastic as well as strenuous auto
ist. Last summer early he treated
himelf to a new Overland runabout,
and he was always running about
with it, meeting an accident here, a
wreck there, a run over an embank-
ment somewhere else, and the deuce
was to pay generally with Robbie.
He had great fun, great luck, and
great good fortune never to be hurt
about everything except turnlturtle,
and only last week rolled off the
Anderson avenue road on such tilt,
and stopped at such an angle that
he left the car there all night and
some one came along and relieved
him of a pair of tires, just jacked
off the car clean as a whistle.
In a way, Bobbie played freak en-
gagements with his little car, but
every time he came up smiling, al
ways saying the accidents he went
through were as nothing compared
to the fun he was having. Bobbie
was no speed merchant, but just
played to the wrong gamble on the
luck thing. Last Tuesday, however
he ran his little Betsie down to Ho-
boken and left it in the Hexamer
garage. That was the last seen OF
Betsie. Fire happened to hit that
spot that morning, and Bobbie's little
luck piece went up in the flames with
seventy-five other automobiles, in all
about 100000 worth. It was toe
bad for Bobbie, for as he says, he was
just getting the hang O. the thing
and hoped after bit to have his
percentage of runaways reduced by
a good margin. Anyhow, Bobbie
says he is going to save up another
weeks salary and get another car OF
some kind for winter driving, be-
cause it would be time wasted to lose
all he had learned these past few
months. He carried 5000 insurance
which is mere bagatelle, of course
but nevertheless will help along some

Men For
War Plant In
Edgewater

That Edgewater will, within the
next six months, be one of the most
important centers in the country for
the manufacture of munitions for
European warfare is practically a
certainty. Operations of the Ameri-
can Can Company, who recently pur-
chased the former Pearline factory,
coupled with the open secret that
this firm is to manufacture muni-
tions, indicate that within a short
time material to be sent to the war
ring nations will be put out in great
quantities.
A statement, said to have come
from an accurate source, says that
the American Can Company has re-
ceived $7,OOO,OOO order from the
Russian government for shells.
1t was stated definitely in a re-
port from Bridgeport, Conn.,, that a
request had been made to the In
ternational Machinists' Union for
1880 men by the can company. Of
ficials of the company denied this,
however. They admitted that when
the factory opened on April 1, several
hundred men would be needed.
Bridgeport, Conn.,, Dec. St is
said here today that Thomas J. Saw
age, chairman of the executive board
of the machinists' Union, has re-
ceived a request from the American
Can Company, of Edgewater, N. j.,
for 1,500 men.
