CITY EMPLOYES WHO ARE WITH C. N. G. TO
 RECEIVE FULL PAY

Contrary to expectation the ordi- nance committee made no report ion the proposed restriction of jitney.s at the common council meeting Monday night. As this is the only meeting that will be held in July the jitney drivers may use Main street until Monday, August 7 at least. Also there will be no increase in the bond or license fee until the ordinance committee reports. It was voted to pay all bills on approval of the finance committee during July and August. A remonstrance petition petition against assessment for the Knowlton street trunk sewer, which had about 300 signers who are tax payers, was read and referred to the sewers committee.
 There were remonstrances against the petitions of Mrs. w. H. Ryan to build over the building line on the east side of North Washington ave- nue between Hall and Meadow streets and of J. M. Lund for the same privi- lege at Wood avenue and Iranistan avenue.
 It was voted to pay in full all city employees who are members of the na- tional guard and who are called for service on the border. The meeting was one of the shortest on record. It began at S:30 and ended at 9:17 o'clock.

BEACH STEAMER,
 I,4OO ON BOARD, GROUNDS IN CUT
Wind and Tide Shove Big Boat Onto Mud FlatS-Small
 Boats Are Called.

After grounding in Johnson's creek, yesterday, with 1,400 persons aboard, the big ferry 'Winona," running from Stratford avenue to Pleasure Beach, was f1oated at high tide early this morning. The ''Winona" fioated off the mud flats easily and returned to her pier at Stratford avenue ready to resume service this noon.
 The "Winona," Capt. Thomas Mo- Mullen. grounded near the Lake Co.'S dock about o'clock yesterday af- ternoon, while making her third trip to the Beach. In handling the big boat, Capt. McMullen says. it is neces- sary that she be under headway be- fore steering is easy. The boat float ed through the draw and the heavy wind pulled her past the Beach pier
 In attempting to make the pier, the ''Winona" got we'll into the middle of the stream and the wind eased her over onto the mud flats. The 1,400 persons aboard didn't get at all ex- cited when the big boat refused to re- spond to her engines
 Under the direction of Capt. Mo Mullen, two oyster boats and a small fleet of launches transferred the pass engers from ,sthe ''Winona" to- the Beach. Capt. McMullen, who has had Starin line steamers for Is years, says it was the best behaved crowd he ever saw. n
 The "Winona" had made two round trips before she grounded, and car ried big crowds to the Beach. When the boat went out of service for the day, thousands jitneyed or trolleyed to the Seaview avenue bridge and it was said by, Beach officials that ap- proximately 1S.0O0 visited the resort during the afternoon and evening.
 The bathing beach, dance hall and other attractions reported brisk holi- day business. A band concert in the evening was ans enjoyable feature of the day.

WAR INTERPRETERS WITH INQUIRY, OF.
 JEWISH SOCIETY
Impossible to Maintain NeceS- sary Correspondence With
 Other Lands.

Wildwood, N. J., July 5-A special commission in Jews of Other Lands" reported to the Central Conference of American Rabbis here today that con- ditions arising through the war in Europe had prevented the commis- sion from proceeding with it's work. It had been impossible Ito maintain the necessary correspondence and there had been no access to sources of information, which under normal conditions, would be available.
 Rabbi Louis Grossmann of Cin- cinnati, chairman of the commission, submitted to the conference, how ever, a number of questions which he said should be answered as to the economic, moral and religious condi- tions of Jewes in other countries, as study along these lines had an inn portant bearing on the states of wage-earning Jews in this country and on the legal enactments as to labor and immigration.
 There was need, he said, of full in- quiry as to the internal forces of Jewish life. Study should be made of what the Jews were doing toward developing schools, synagogues. and communities, and as to what trades, occupations, or professions Jews were now preoccupied with, or endeavor- ing to enter.
 What" he asked, "are they doing for themselves, for their moral, theo- logical, and economic emancipation :?
 What are the legal, the social the 'prejudiciaP relations of Jews with fho ctr of ments or of national and racial feel ing?
 'what part have the historic feel ings of sympathy and of intipathy, on both sides, of Jews and non-Jews, in the absorption and assimilation of Jews in the general culture and their standing aloof from it? What effect have they or, the Americanization of the immigrant Jew?"
 Public opinion in the United States with regard to the Jew" he said, 'fs not infrequently g recru- descence of feelings which are foreign in origin and character and which the moral genius of American equity has not yet succeeded in casting out"
 He asked whether intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews was an "appreciable phenomenon" whether it was becoming more frequent, and whether it raised the standard of the Jewish home.
 He discussed the subject of liter acy. Nothing but a scrupulous and unprejudiced investigation will suf- fce," he declared, "either to confirm or to shake our confidence in the in- tellectual fitness of the Jewish immi- grant. But we ought to know the conditions as they really are, so that the Jew may be proven, as we be- lieve he can be, to stand against the charge of illiteracy, or, if he cannot that we may shift the burden of guilt where it belongs, to the iniquity of and neglect by his former foreign tyrannical government"
 Rabbi Grossman suggested that after hte war it might be practicable to connect Jewish charitable organi- zations in America with those abroad and correlate their work and their influence on that contingent of Jews who come to the United States.

HOUSING REFORM D00MS GHETTO
 AT AMSTERDAM
Miniature Jewish State Goes to Another Corner of
 Dutch Capital.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, July 5- The memorable housing reformer has reached the famous Amsterdam Ghetto, and is making a first assault on the miniature Jewish state that has existed for more than three cen- turies in Hollands capital on the Zuyder Zee and, has constituted for the. modern tourist one of the sights of the city. One of the most thickly populated quarters, the part known as the "Island' of Uilenburg, has been condemned is gradually being habitants, for whom new homes are to be erected elsewhere by means of a state loan. a
 The big settlement of Jews at Am sterdann dates from 1890. The first Portuguese Jews arrived in 1898, and the Polish Jews followed in 1854, each and all being driven from less enlightened parts of Europe by per- Nsecution and being attracted to the little Dutch republic by the religious toleration there enjoyed. In Amster- dam their fortunes have ebbed and flowed, but on the whole the wealth of the Jewish community was such as to render it one of the most infiu- ential classes of Amsterdam. Today there are 10 synagogues in the city, and the fact that they are situated in the old, Jewish quarter is one of the difficulties of the removal.
 Despite the deplorable housing conditions obtaining in the ghetto, the city fathers have long spared it, doubtless influenced by the fact that, while the birth rate was very high, namely, 33 to 39 per thousand, the mortality was very low, 13 to 16 per thousand, which compares with "A in other poor quarters in the city. The population thereof has been less sub- ject to infectious diseases and tuber- culosis, while Infant mortality was always lower than in neighboring quarters.
 Nevertheless, sufficient ground for drastic action, was at length Found in the narrow streets of the ghetto, with their one-roomed tenements and the pools or canals '' Trachoma ragged there for years. On one site of less than 100 feet square there stood 62 dwellings inhabited by large families. A ladder led from one tenement to the other. The only light side of this condition of affairs was the low rent. low as 15 American cents a week on the top floor.
 Nine hundred houses have now been condemned, of which the expro- priation cost is put at $40O.00O, while the state has been asked for another loan of $600,000 for the new housing scheme. The idea of again making Uilenburg a residential quarter has had to be abandoned. and it is now to be turned into an industrial district. Plans have been drawn up for the erection of 360 new dwellings in another quarter of the city. half of which number will be let at below $1.2O a week, the commune or the state adding 20 to 30 cents in some cases.

It used to be the custom-and may be now on remote farms-for the housewife to use her own knowledge good sense and judgment in dealing with sickness in the family before sending for the doctor, unless in ser ious emergencies. After that, when there was no immediate danger she would talk with her neighbors, women who had had experience with sickness.
 Any woman who suffers from ail- ments peculiar to her sex will do well to ask her neighbors. She should easily find one who has used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. Just ask her about it!-Adv
