could be cautioned or before the ele-
vator could be brought to its proper
position Mrs. Goddard stepped in and
tripped and fell, receiving a sprained
ankle. The elevator did not drop as
was claimed, nor was there any open
space on the opposite side. The ac-
cident occurred through the neglect
of the woman to wait until the eleva-
tor had been brought to a proper
level.
Before any testimony was taken
Judge Gaskill said he omitted an i'm
portant part of his opening. He de-
sired to show that the elevator was
not supplied with safety catch as
required by the laws of 1916, thus
making it unsafe and not in proper
order.
Judge Starr objected to this be-
cause this had not been set forth in
the bill of particulars which were pro-
vided for his guidance and he was
not prepared to meet this issue. He
did not think it was a proper element
to introduce in the case.
Judge Carlow said he would take
this under advisement and render an
opinion later.
The plaintiffs case was concluded at
three o'clock. Judge Starr moved for
nonsuits. The first was to relieve the
Manhassett Hotel Company, as it had
not been shown that the corporation
was in any way connected with the
suit. This was granted. The second
request was to allow the Manhassett
Company to get out, the reasons being.
the same as in the other motion. Mr..
Gaskill agreed to this. Then Judge
Starr moved to nonsuit the whole case.
Mr.. Gaskill objected to this and Judge
Carrow said he would take the matter
under adVisement.
There was argument on the PROPOSE
ton of the plaintiff to amend his open
ing and show that there must be
safety appliance on every elevator.
This opened an interesting question.
1.-THE law says every elevator shall,
within two years after this act becomes
operative, have safety deviceattached
to il" and the law also provides that
persons who neglect to comply with
the statute within the time mentioned,
shall be subject to punishment.
The law went into effect March %,
1916, and Judge Starr commended that
the owner of the elevator still has near
ly six months in which to put the safe
ty device on. Mr.. Gaskill commended
that the two years limit did not give
the owner of an elevator that length of
time to put the device on, but that it
provided for the penalty to be collected
within that time. Decision on this
point was reserved.

Something has awakened the govern
ment to the conditions that have been
in existence at Camp Dixand probably
at other camps. Stories of extrava-
gance, high wages paid for poor labor,
waste of material and other items have
not only been circulated but have beer
easily susceptible of proof. 1t only
needed a casual glance to note the
waste of material, and when lumber
was not used it was put in pile and o
torch was applied to it. Thousands OF
feet of good wood have thus been de
stroyed. Perhaps the lumber was not
of sufficient value to be used in the
building that was going on, but il
would have been very acceptable tC
many of the families that are being
asked so earnestly to conserve food.
Or it could be used in the fires that will
have to be kindled to furnish heat fol
the barracks. The report now is that
the government has taken this and
other matters up and there is hkeli-
hood of very different management in
the camps hereafter.
President John A. higgins, of the
New Jersey Utilities Association, in
formed the members OF that body that
a large part of the price in commodi-
ties is due to the lack of cars, engines
and other equipment, and claimed
that this was due to the fact that the
railroad companies were not allowed,
in the last few years, to make sufficient
earnings with which to purchase new
equipment, and attract new capital.
1t is rather late to awaken to this stu
alton but there is no doubt that the
policy of holding big business in leash
and taking the heart and energy out
OF it has had exactly the opposite
effect than was desired. Instead of be-
ing benefited the public has been
greatly harmed by such a policy.

Random Remarks

The Philadelphia Ledger had the
following article and while it NAV not
appeal to those who are making such
heroic efforts to have people save in
the matter of edibles it certainly has
some claim for attention. The article
said: 'Table-talk these days is likely
to turn upon the engrossing topics of
war bread and sugar. Must we really
do without candy and icing upon
cakes =? In a nearby Jersey town a
handful has been WIDELY circulated
saying that those who refuse to give up
these two items are friends of the Ger
mans. A somewhat far-fetched con-
clusion. Is sugar luxury or a neces
sity? Certainly the latter. DR.. Dud-
ley A. Sargent, the dietetic expert,
says that nothing is quicker restora-
tive of energy depleted. He used to
tell the Harvard football eleven to pop
a lump of sugar into their mouths be-
tween the fierce periods of sclimmag-
ing"

The Tomcat.
At midnight in the alley
A Tomcat comes to wall,
And he chants the hate of a million
years
As he swings his snaky tail.
Malevolent, bony. brindled,
Tiger and devil and bard,
His eyes are Goals from the middle
of hell H'.
And his heart is black and hard.
He twists and crouches and capers
And bares his curved, sharp claws,
And he sings to the stars of the
jungle nights
Ere cities were, or laws.
Beast from a world primeval,
He and his leaping clan,
When the blotched red moon leers
over the roofs,
Give voice 20 their scorn Of man
He'll lie on a rug tomorrow
And lick his silky fur,
And veil the brute in his yellow eyes,
And play he's tame, and purr.
But at midnight in the alley
He'll crouch again and wall,
And beat the time for his demons
song
With the swing Of his demons tail.
