 Foundation

Allenhurst, N. j., Sept. 11.-Samuel
Lash, of New York. plunged into the
bathing pool here, not knowing that it
had been closed for cleaning and was
sucked through 12-inch outlet pipe,
$50 feet long, into the ocean.
Lash was drawn into the pipe in
the position of diver with his hands
above his head and was cast out
quarter of a minute later with both
arms broken at the shoulder and
lacerated from head TO foot. Physi-
clans said today he probably would
recover.
Fitting the pipe almost as tightly
as does champagne cork the bottle,
until he popped out the further end Of
the main into the sea.
In his hideOus trip both of Lash S
arms were broken at the shoulder. his
collarbone was fractured, the skin
was torn and scraped from almost his
entire body and sand was ground
into his flesh.
I've just been through hell and I'm
going to die" gasped Lash to the men
who dragged him from the surf.
But, marvellous to tell, the surgeons
at the Ann May Hospital. to which
Lash was hurried, Say he has an ex-
cellent chance to recover.
Pool Closed to Bathers.

Albemarle which takes it to the unpro-

Although there are no criticisms

build anything as elaborate as an ar
tistic bungalow for its operatives al

three or four rooms.
Cottages have been built by the

that the bungalows which took root

charged for these mill cottages. even |
the more progressive operatives have
been satisfied with them and 1T has
not been necessary. as is the case with
the real estate renter to make un-
necessary adornments in order to
keep them occupied.
The Wscassett mill has probably
stepped several years ahead in build
ing such artistic homes. but the pro-
gressive citizens which were select
ed from the old village and given the
new homes were ready for them, and

suburb Of Albemarle and interview

people have begun to plant flowers
and take as much interest apparently

house is screened Immediately upon
occupancy.
Nothing Cheap in Construction.
There is not a prettier bungalow
settlement in any town in the State
than at this mill. and there is nothing
cheap in construction. Every house
has solid rock or brick foundation
for the front and several Of them have

They are all built differently, although
q few floor plans are duplicated, but
with different roof, a changed porch,
or with a gable here or there and diff

Much time and pains were spent
I'm arranging these new homes and
good taste has been shown in the de-
signs and the selection Of material
and paints for the interior for the
inside harmoniZe with the refined ap-

are one Of the chief attractions OF
the inside decoration, for in several
OF the houses the rustic rock or brick
mantels are used Wood fibre plaster

lows. and the woodwork is stained or
painted in pleasing colors. The doors
are Of hardwood, pleasing in design
and are fitted with Yale locks and
brass knalbs. The electric light fix
