Following the success that has attended Pacific Coast murders, re- ports now come from the Atlantic seaboard that the east is anxious tc secure the services of Fred Murray, the Stanford hurdler, and Fred Mil Ter. the southern California star as coaches. Murray is said to have de- cided to remain in the east, where he will take up the study of art. and by way of recreation will become a member of the New York Athletic Club, under whose colors he will compete this summer. Under these circumstances Murray would not be able to accept the position of coach for the reason that it would at once professionalize him. Kelly. at the present time, is running under the colors of the Los Angeles Athletic Club.

Sixteen -yearold Gordon Rails, who lives at Huntington Park. near Los Angeles, is looked upon by many aquatic experts of southern Cali fornia as a coming swimmer who is likely to be heard from in the fu- ture. He does the 50-yard dash in 90 seconds. the 100 yards in 73 flat and the 220 in minutes and sec onds, and while he has not had his time taken in the 40. he has out distanced easily his opponents in this event
 , At a recent tri-schools meet Rails won tic 100. 220 and 4i0-yard and 5O-yard breast stroke and was second
 in the plunge for distance and 50- yard dash

Almost coincident with published advice from Miss Molla Bjurstedt, holder of the women's national tennis championship. that women devote
 themselves to a careful game, lest they overtaX their strength, comes a report from Los Angeles that Maurice F. Mclaughlin, former national cham pion, has gone into training nearly
 as strenuous as conditioning of a prize fighter.
 Muscles of the back, stomach and legs all must be strong. according to l McLoughlin's theory. but they must {, be strong in just a certain way which
 makes for speed. The stomach mus
 cles give endurance; the back mus cles give power to the drive: the leg
 muscles give spring and "go." He is afraid of weights, holding that | they give muscles without residence 1 and much of his exercising is said l to be done while lying on his back
 or rolling around.

WILL GO
over ROAD

1t is expected that State Road Com
missioner E. A. Stevens will come into
Cumberland county this week and
finally decide upon the route of the
proposed improved road from Maurice
town bridge to the Cape May county
line, passing by the State Prison farm.
The Commissioner has had many peti-
tions from down in Maurice River
township protesting against the road
being constructed upon a straight
course thus going outside of the villages
of Leesburg and Dorchester. The effort
of many in the lower part of the county
is to pass through the two villages.
In speaking of the matter few days
since Commissioner Stevens said that
unless something entirely unforeseen
occurred the improved road would not
go through the two villages. He had
committed himself to the new course
and feels that as the highway is to be
built by the State, and will be main
tanned by the State, it should be as di-
rect route as possible and should be
kept away from railroad crossings.

TAX BOARD
BILL PASSES

Yesterday the Senate pasesd the
Pierce bill for the purpose of chang
ing the method of appointment of
members of County Tax Boards.
Under the Pierce bill, it is provided
that one member of the county boards
shall re chosen by civil service and
that the remaining two shall be ap-
pointed by the governor. one from
each of the two dominating parties.
The intent of this provision is to re-
move the boards from absolute politi-
cal control that now prevails. The
new scheme is also designed to give
greater equality in tax assessments.
1t is said that the bill will have
some difficulty in getting through the
Assembly, but Governor Fielder will
sign the DILL if it does pass.

3, 200 Gas Users in Bridge
ton Now.
MORE ALL LTHETIME
Company Is Now Taking Careful
Census and Survey of All
Property in This
City.

The Bridgeton Gas Light Company
is one of the important concerns in
Eridgeton and stands foremost of all
of the gas light companies in South
Jersey. Indeed, the Bridgeton plant
is one of the best in point of efficien-
cy in the entire east :.
Indicating the general use of gas
in this community may be we'll un-
derstood when it is known that at the
present time there are 5000 gas users
in the City of Bridgeton, more than is
credited with the use of city water.
There is scarce a street within the
entire city of Bridgeton that is not
carrying gas main and upon more
than one of these streets every i'm
proved property is using the service
OF the Bridgeton Gas Light Company.
Within the past few years the in
crease consumption of gas has been
enormous both for lighting and fuel.
1t is the latter field which has been
almost entirely revolutionized by the
gas company. Hundreds of all gas
kitchens are now used in Bridgeton.
In scarce any new house is there
placed coal burning range while
constantly there are coal burning
ranges removed and replaced with the
modern gas ranges. Gas heating ap-
paratus is also being installed more
and more and gas radiators is a mod
ern system that is constantly meeting
with more favor.
Superintendent Jacob B. Jones is
one of the most progressive managers
of the gas plants of New Jersey and
he has high reputation throughout all
OF this section of the country. He has
systematized the immense business of
the plant and gives efficient service
which is appreciated by every user of
gas.
At this time the superintendent is
causing to be made census and sur
vey of the entire city. He is having
listed and card indexed every piece of
property upon which there stands at
present building of any character.
This property is charted and a full
description given. There is notation
of whether or not there is present gas
service and just what that service is.
The owner of the property as well
as the tenants of the property is
made a part of the record.
In the future any property owner
can learn instantly at the office of the
company just what it will cost to in
stall a gas service. The record show
ing just how much service pipe is re-
quired, and exactly what the require
ments may be to carry gas to any
p. part or all of the property.
When this survey is finally COM
pieted it will be kept up to the minute,
notations being made of any changes
that may be made to the property and
any change of ownership. i.
Such a record will be of the utmost
value to the corporation for the fu-
ture.

A NOVEL
WAR BOAT

Washington, D. c., March 14.-All
kinds of ships of war and of COM
merce have been pressed into service
in the great European conflict There
and under-sea boats; there are super
dreadnaughts, battle cruisers, and dis
2Gised commerce raiders; there are
great ocean greyhounds that yester-
day were floating palaces of the
ocean, carrying the wealth and beauty
of civilization on their migrat;ons
across the sea- but that today are grim
havens of suffering where the wall of
Pain and the Shrek of anguish have
substituted the carnival of music and
the sound OF mirth.
But strangest of all the kinds of
floating equiment that the war has
drafted into service is the kelek De-
scribing this strange boat, the Ma
ticnal Geographic Society, with head
quarters here, says:
THE kelek is probably one of the
earliest forms of water transportation
used by our ancestors in Asia.
"The cargo is loaded on to the kelek
just as though it were a fiat bottomed
large, after which the craft begins
its journey down the Tigris or the Eu-
pirates propelled or guided by oars.
When it reaches it's journeys end it is
broken up and sold as skins and tim
her.
THE two great rivers of Mesopo-
tamia are very crooked and very ir-
regular in their depths. The air lines
distance between Diarbekir and Bag
dad is four hundred miles, while the
water route via the Tigris is about
one thousand miles. AT many places
the river is deep enough to accommo-
date boats of considerable draft, but
at others it is so shallow that man
has difficulty in swimming. But even
over shadows where a man cannot
go as swimmer, a well-laden kelek
will float without accident.
For thousands of years this buoy
ant boat has helped the people of
Mcsopotamia to move their commerce
over the shoals and shadows of two
OF the earth's moodiest rivers, and
has now come to play it's small part
in the greatest war of human history"
