When Sir James Matthew Barrie was
last in this country Che came here to
see Charles FEohman in 1910 he was
dissatisfied with his suit in city
hotel and changed to rooms in an
other part Of the hotel. His reason for
doing this was that from the window
of the quarters first assigned to him he
could not get good view Of the cleo
trical score board on the Times build
ing. The worlds series was being
played. and the author of Peter Pan"
spent many hours breathlessly watch
ing the ball of light speed across the
mimic diamond.
This revelation of Barrie as base
ball fan" is one of many interesting
intimate views of the great Scotch
writer obtained by one of the very few
Americans who have penetrated be-
yond the barriers OF Barrie's shyness-
Isaac f. Marcosson. the biographer of
Charles FrOhman. No one in this coun-
try, with the possible exception Of
Frohman. knew why the distinguished
visitor changed his rooms or that he
was interested in baseball.-Joyce Kill

Why Wool Is Warm.

The main difference between WOO
and linen is that wool is animal and
linen is vegetable and that the fiber OF
wool is irregular. When the irregular
fiber of the wool is woven it contains
certain little cells which hold q neutral
layer Of air. The linen has no such
cells. This layer of air which the
cells make is like an invisible coat
that keeps the normal heat of the body
from leaving it and that at the same
time keeps the atmosphere which is
colder than the body temperature from
entering 1t.
This layer of air is. as some writer
has put it. a little gaseous armor.
If wooden yarn is rendered straight
and regular by some special treatment
in the mill and is woven like linen it
is only very little warmer than linen.
That little is due to its being animal,
which has always more warmth to it
than the vegetable product

In an automobile along one Of The
streets In Guinea Hill when a three
inch shell dropped from the skies righl
into their car, wrecking it. But the
two chiefs. and their driver were un1n
jured.
The fire spread to eleven cars full OF
loaded shells on the Lackawanna
tracks, and then began a terrific bonn
bardment Like the steady firing of
shells exploded one after the other,
, the projectiles rising high into the sky
and falling in long arcs on all sides Of
the plant. Across the main line of the
railroad were the largest repair shops
of the Lackawanna system, but the
no time in getting out.
On the other side of the plant, per-
haps mile away, begins the slope Of
the hill on which live the 5000 resi-
dens Of Kingsland and Lyndhurst.
This latest explosion was similar to
the Black Tom disaster the morning
of July 81 last. Black Tom is q pen
insula on the Jersey City shore Of
New York bay, where the Lehigh Val
ley railroad has terminal Enormous
quantities Of munitions were there
transferred from freight cars to
barges, thence to he loaded on vessels
for Europe.
Never before had such large guam
tity of high explosives-275 tons-been
detonated at one time. Because of the
isolated situation of Black Tom the
fatalities were limited TO half dozen
or so.
New York was shaken as if by an
earthquake by the two principal ex-
plosiOns which marked night of wild
terror. Downtown skyscrapers receiv-
ed the full force of the shock. Jersey
City was partially wrecked.
The disaster began with fire.
Shrapnel and other ammunition blazed
away all night bombarding the sur
rounding shores and even bursting over
Governors island. Meanwhile blazing ,
barges drifted about the bay, endan-
gering shipping in the harbor and the
wharves which line the New York and
New Jersey shores. When the flames
had been quenched and the explosions
ceased it was estimated that the Black |
Tom. explosion had done damage J
to between $15,000,000 and j
$20,00OO00.

WARS TERRORS ARE AGAIN
BROUGHT TO NEW JERSEY
Huge Munitions Plant Burns and
Towns Are Bombarded For
Twelve Hours.

For the second time within a few
months the residents of Hudson coun-
ty, N. j., have known the terrors of
bombardment about as bad as the war
In Europe has ever produced. This has
come about by the fire and subsequent
explosion of ammunition factories and
stores of explosives.
The munitions plant of the Canadian
Car and Foundry company at Kings
land, which few days ago employed
thousands of workers and had just
completed a $100.000.000 shell contract
for the Russian government. is no
more. The fire is supposed to have
started when a defective electric wire
sent a spark into a gasoline container.
Immediately the thousands of work
men employed in the plant fled for
their lives for they knew what was to
follow. The explosions which imme-
diately followed continued for twelve
hours, bombarding the town of Kings
land and nearby towns and shaking
the whole countryside.
Pieces of shells were picked up more
than three miles from the plant. A
saloon near Kingsland, on the main
road about mile from the plant. was
bombarded early in the afternoon, and
the walls caved In. Four of the porch
pillars were shot clean away. A dozen
curious stories were told of the acct
dents of this aimless bombardment.
A large shell fragment tore through
the kitchen Of house in Kingsland
and ripped its way out through wall.

BENEFITS OF NEW LOAN ACT
CONTINUED from Page u

Gated above, by the capital and surplus
of the IL land banks.
Both mortgages and bonds will be
exempt from all forms of taxation.
Farmers who wish to obtain money
from the federal land banks will ordi-
narily be obliged to form local loan
through these organizations. The local
loan associations will improve the
credit of their members and reduce
the cost of their loans through the
performance of certain definite serv-
ices, among which are the following:
The committee called the loan COM
mittee" of the association will ap
praise the property offered as security
and approve all applications for loans
which are sent to the land bank. The
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the association
will transmit the papers and carry on
all correspondence with the land bank
relative to the loans. The association
will guarantee the mortgages of it's
members, the liability of any indiv-
idual member being limited, however,
to an additional sum equal to the
amount of his capital stock, or APP
proximately to per cent of his own
loan.
One important function of the new
system will be to establish safe stand
ards for the farm mortgage business
of the United States; for it is not pro-
posed to extend any credit except on
the basis of proper security. In addi-
ton to the Endorsement of the local as
ISOLATION. every loan must have the |
approval of one of the salaried APP
praisers appointed by the government |
for the several land banks.
Further not more than $4,000 may
be loaned to one borrower, nor more
than 80 per cent of the value of the
land offered as security plus 20 per
cent of the value of the buildings;
and the money must be used for spec
fed productive purposes, such as the
purchase of farm land, improvements,
equipment, fertilizers, or live stock.
or for the payment of existing indebt-
edness.
The federal farm loan board of the
treasury department has general
charge of the system. The department
Of agriculture will cooperate with this
BOARD in supplying information and
assistance to farmers who
lesire to take advantage of the fed
.ral farm loan act, especially with ref
rence to the organization of local loan
associations.

CUT UNPRoDUCTIvE CORN FOR
FoDuEK AND REPLANT THE
LAND.

The long drought that has pre-
vailed over the state this summer
has rendered thousands of acres OF
corn unproductive so far as the ma
turing of the ears is concerned.
Where it is evident that corn will
not make, farmers should cut the
stalks for fodder and replant the
land in either June corn or one of
the standard varieties, says W. R.
Perkins, Of the Extension Division,
Louisiana State University. One of
the prolific varieties, Such as Hast
ings. is just as likely to make good
corn when planted at this time of
the year as one of the June varie-
lies. In the event that the second
crop also fails to produce earcorn it
may be cut for fodder and will
thereby add to the supply of feed
stuffs.
If it is impossible to obtain seed
corn, then the land should be plant
ed to soy beans or velvet beans.
These may be planted up to July 15,
and will ordinarily make a good for
age crops for the fall season.-L. 8.
