the Work That is Being
Done.

In order that the work of the Am
erican Red Cross should be done in
systematic manner and careful rec
ord Kept Of all money paid to the
Society, it has been determined by
the Executive Committee to complete
their organization. With this in
mind the office of financial secretary
has been created and filled. Supplies
have been ordered that will enable
the secretary to keep a complete rec
ord and to give a receipt for any
money that may be paid in. In
addition to this preparation is being
made for the compilation OF list of
all members that shall be tabulated
in regular form. Other matters per-
tanning to the details of equipment
are in the course of adjustment. 1t
is the purpose of the Executive Com
mittee to complete an organization
that will be a credit to Bridgeton
and the district belonging to the
branch
Arrangements are being made for
permanent headquarters where a full
list of supplies can be secured. and
where representative will be in at
tendance. Here information may be
secured regarding any detail of the
work and supplies will be kept con-
stantly on hand for the prosecution
of the campaign.
A full list of committees is now
being selected and announcement
will be made in day or two of those
chosen for certain phases of the
work. The Importance of the work
is so impressed upon all those who
examine into the nature and scope of
the American Red Cross, that every
thing is being done with an idea of
rendering any service that may be re-
quired. 1t is very gratifying to those
in charge to have such valuable as
sistance and the promise Of such
cheerful cooperation.

DOCS MUST
Be REGISTERED

Lewis Fleming was fined 50. so last
night by Mayor Whitaker for violating
the ordinance requiring the registra-
tion OF dogs. Mayor Whitaker ex-
planned that he would enforce a penalty
upon all persons who neglected to
have dogs registered. The Mayor told
Fleming that the payment of the fine
did not excuse him from registering
his dog as provided by the ordinance
and that he was still obliged to per-
form that duty or again be fined.
There are complaints filed by the Pub.
lie Safety Commissioner against other
persons for like neglect. ~, .-.

LIABILITY
INSURANCE

After the Fourth of July liability in
surance is compulsory. Eyerv en-
ployer of any kind of labor will be
obliged to take out insurance and carrv
the same unless the employer can
show that he is responsible for anv
damages that may lie against him,
and the Commissioners of Banking and
Insurance will approve the standing
of the employer. SO
The law applies to municipalities as
we'll as individuals. Last night City
Council authorized the Corporation
Counsel to show the Banking and In
surance department that it was fully
able to meet any obligation for dam
ages from accident. Thus the city will
not have to pay any insurance premi

SOUTH JERSEY
FARM NOTES

A despatch, published in the daily
newspapers, ASSERTS that in Maine
there is under cultivation $500 acres
OF potatoes more than last year. The
report is based on information from
29 out of 80 incorporated towns.
A field day in the interest of New
Jersey Alfalfa, will be held Tuesday
| June 10, on the Walker-G -Gorden farm.
Plainsboro, N. J. There will be a
number of addresses delivered and
alfalfa production will be discussed
from all angles.
On June IL shipments of white DO
tatoes from Norfolk were 23 carloads
by. freight and the equal of 43 cars
by boat. The potatoes were mostly
poorly graded, small, immature, and
sold in Philadelphia at $4.OO to $500
per barrel for culls and $500 to 1925
for the best stock.

an abundance of tomato plants for

WANT GAS
STANDARD CUT
Gas Companies Operate at
Loss.
TO REDUCE COST
Utility Board Appealed to By All
Gas Companies in the
State.

T1enton, n. J., June 19.-Repre-
sentatiYes of virtually all the gas
companies operating in New Jersey
appeared before the Utility Commits
sloners tcday at hearing on the pc
tition TO lower heating standard for
gas. The hearing will be resumed
OF July 2.
Many Of the smaller companies in
the southern part of the State were
represented by Theodore j. Grayson
of Philadelphia. He said that during
the last two years the cost of COAL
coke and oil used in the manufacture
of gas, together with increased cost
of labor, has brought about an unpre-
cedoaied situation calling tor speedy
relief if the smaller companies are
to be saved from heavy loss.
Mr.. Grayson submitted that the
heating standard exacted in New Jer-
sey is considerably higher than re-
quired in neighboring states. The
New Jersey standard is monthly av-
erage of not less than 600 British
thermal units, with a minimum never
falling before $50. Mr.. Grayson
thought the maximum should be $50
and the minimum 525.
Appearing for the Public Service
Gas Company, L. D. H. Gilmour sug-
gested that the testimony might lead
the board to conclude that besides
lowering the present standard, the
companies should be permitted to in
| crease rates. He said the heavy de-
mands of the Government for by
products of gas coal, in connection
with the war, has been responsible
for a great increase in cost, which is
likely to increase further as the war
progresses.
Albert E. Forstall, president of the
American Gas Institute, was called
by Mr.. Gilmour and declared the
present standard, which, he said, was
not arrived at as the result of an in
vestigation, is too high and does not
operate to the advantage of the con-
Sumer
John P. Kumpp, of Philadelphia, an
engineer of the U. G. l., testified that
in his judgment consumers would I'LL
timately benefit by the lowering of
the standard which would prevent
carbohydrates from interfering with
the mantles. Carl Geist, manager of
the Atlantic City Gas Company, said
the cost of gas production has been
above normal since 1915. The in
crease for material for 1916. he said,
was about six cents per 1000 cubic
feet above the preceding year. At the
present price of materials, he said,
this increase would be fifteen cents.
Similar testimony was given by R.
M. Garrison, general manager of the
Standard Gas Company of Atlantic
County; S. J. Franklin, manager of
the Millville Gas Light Company, and
]. C. Lightfoot, secretary-treasurer of
the New Jersey Gas Light Company
of Glassboro.

TO DELIVER
STORE PARCELS
Government Ready For
That Service.
BY PARCEL POST
Burleson Outlines Plan to Over
come Present Duplication
of Effort.

New York, June 19.-The Postoffice
Department of the United States is
ready and willing to take over the de-
livery service of all the retail drv
goods stores in New York and every
other city in the United States, ac-
cording to E. L. Howe, executive sec
retary of the National Dry Goods AS
sociation, who said the announcement
was based on statements made to him
in Washington last week by Postmas-
ter General Burleson.
The proposal of the Postmaster
General, he said, was that the retail
dry goods stores surrender their de-
livery equipment to the Government
for at least the duration of the war.
and then mail their packages accord
ing to parcel post rates, special ar
rangements for handling the bust
ness being made by the Postoffice De-
partment. Mr.. Howe added that the
department had been experimenting
in the retail delivery service in sew
eral cities with sufficient success to
demonstrate the practicability of the
undertaking. He was not at liberty
to name the cities where the expert
ments had been made.
The plan, which has Mr. Howe's
strong endorsement as a war meas
ure, will be submitted to the retail
trade, the merchants in any locality
being left free to decide for them
selves whether they will adopt it.
The attitude Of the New York mer-
chants is still, in doubt, as few of
them, apparently, have heard enough
of the details of the plan or studied
it long enough to come to final deci-
sions. A canvass of the managers
and proprietors of some of the city's
largest stores today revealed this sit
uation.
The suggested method of delivery
according to Mr.. Howe, is only the
beginning of a movement Aor the
elimination of waste and all unnec-
essary cost and labor in the retail
business Of the country.
"Many radical things will be done"
he said. "The National Retail Dry
goods Association will soon appoint
committee of business men repre-
senting not the association, but the
drygoods trade, which will meet in
Washington to confer with the COM
mercial economy board of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense. The commit
tee will discuss and formulate a de-
cisiOn upon war measures and recon-
mend the universal adoption of those
which appear for the good of the
country. Such subjects as retail de-
liveries, the return goods privilege
and the elimination of store wastage
of material and labor will occupy the
committees time.
If the Postoffice Department took
over the retail delivery system of this
or any other city, according to Mr..
Howe, it would make two deliveries
daily, hanling c. o. D. packages as
we'll as all others.
