Plan Recreation Work.

At it's meeting in Atlantic City, last
month, the State Board of the New
Jersey Woman Suffrage Association
voted to help actively in the recrea
tional work to be carried on in con-
nection with Camp Dix, at Wrights-
town and to look around for location
on which to put the necessary buildings.
On Saturday meeting was held at
the residence of A. S. l.. Doughty, on
Garden street. Those present were:
Mrs. E. F. Feickert and Mrs. Henry
G. White of Plainfield; Mrs. F. H.
Colvin, of East Orange; Mrs. E. g.
Blaisdell, of Stockton; Mrs. Edward
Olmsted and Mrs. Robert r. Huse, of
Elizabeth; Mrs. Ward d. Kerlin, of
Moorestown; Mrs. John J. White and
Miss Lulu HI. Marvel, of Atlantic City;
Miss Helen Lippincott, of Riverton;
Mrs. Arthur Hunter, of Montclair;
Mrs. F. w. Veghte, of Roselle; Mrs.

beth Pope, of Jersey City; Mrs. A. D.
Brearley, of Railway; Mrs. Joseph
Laroque, of Bernardsville; Mrs. Wells
P. Eagleton, of Newark, and DR.. Mary
G. Cummins, of Paterson.
Options have been secured on two
houses and several lots but the COM
mittee has not decided whether to buy
or build. The properties are at
Wrightstown and Pemberton.
The idea of this movemeet is to pro-
vide recreatio rooms for enlisted men
only. Sandwiches, coffee and choco

five cents and everything to be con
Quoted under the supervision of The
United States authorities.
A neat sum was subscribed towards
the movement, amounting to $1,000
Sufficient furniture has been pledged

Telegraphers Strike.

No use to consult your timetable.
Go to the station and wait for any old
train that comes along. If the train
scheduled for a certain time is not
more than an hour late it will be a
wonder. After celebrating for some
time the telegraph operators on the
Amboy division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad decided to strike for higher
wages. That they may be entitled to
more money than they are now get
ting maybe so but they are not getting
the sympathy of the public for tying
up travel at this time when so many
things are needed. Not only is passen-
ger service interfered with but freight
cannot be handled, and merchants are
hampered in their efforts to get the
necessaries of life. Camp Dix with it's
large army to be fed, is in bad shape
because the freight trains cannot de-
liver the food that is required.
One hundred and fifty-six telegraph
ers on the Amboy division went out
on Saturday, and as a consequence
there was chaos in the attempt to
move trains. On Sunday a telegram
was received by the man in charge of
the strike, signed Federal Govern
ment," advising the men to return to
their posts. This had a good effect
and on Sunday morning the majority
of the strikers had gone back. Then
the report went out that the telegram
was a forgery and, as result, the tele-
graph operators again left their posts
and on Monday morning there were
few, il any, of the old men on duty.
On the line between Pemberton and
Camden but one man remained loyal.
He was the operator at Ewanville.
New men were pressed into service but
they were green" and it took some
time to get them accustomed to the
work that was required of them.
Trains on this section ran anywhere
from one hour to two hours late and
the schedule was absolutely of no &C
count. AS an example the train that
should have left Mount Holly for
Pemberton at LA yesterday afternoon,
left the station at 2.20 and then was
held up another ten minutes at Bur-
lington junction to wait for orders
when to go and how far to proceed.
The men demand So per day and |
two days month off. The highest
salaries that are paid the men are said
to be $40 per month. While the strike |
is confined to the Amboy division, at
present, it is said that all the other
roads will go out today. 1t is possible |
the United States may take hand in
the affair and in that case the strikers
will be drafted into army service.
1t is bad enough to have the trains
tied up and freight delayed but there
is much that is awaiting shipment
that is perishable. Several carloads OF
tomatoes are lying at different stations

Health Precautions

! The State Department of Health
has adopted series of regulations in
tended to safeguard the sale of foods
and drinks in the areas surrounding
the government cantonment at
Wrigntstown.
In order to.control the preparation
and sale of food-stuffs, the department
has determined to require all persons
who engage in the preparation of foods
to be sold on the premises, such as
hotel, clearinghouse and restaurant
keepers, to secure permit issued by
the department before beginning bust
ness, and these permits will be issued
only when the department is satified
that all the requirements of the law
and of the State Sanitary Code are
complied with.
Permits will also be required for the
sale of prepared food which is intended
for use without further cooking,
whether it is to be eaten on the
premises or not unless such food is re-
ceived, stored, sold and delivered in
sealed packages and in such a manner
as will prevent its contamination.
The laws, which must be complied
with in order that permit may be
issued, require that foods be adequate
ly protected from injurious contami-
nation, that dishes and utensils used
in serving it be adequately washed in
clean water, that persons who handle
foods must be free from communicable
diseases and must keep themselves and
their clothing clean, and that the areas
adjacent to places where foods are sold,
must be kept clean and free from all
Objectionable conditions.
The department has put into the
field the beginning of sanitary unit,
which will take charge of all sanitary
matters in the vicinity of Wrights-
town in cooperation with the officials
of local boards of health of the various
townships surrounding the camp.
A sanitary survey involving a house.
toulouse inspection of all premises in
this vicinity is being pushed to COM
pletion, as rapidly as the force at the
disposal Of the department will per-
NIT.
The control of communicable dis
eases, the protection of the water sup
plies and disposal of waste materials
will be rigidly enforced throughout
this section, in order that the danger
from the spread of typhoid fever may
be minimized as far as possible.
The regulations adopted by the de-
partment shall apply to all premises
which lie within distance of seven
miles in direct line from the railroad
station at Wrightstown, and to all per-
sons who conduct any of the business !
referred to within such distance, ex-
elusive of the land included in the |
National Army Cantonment, known
as Camp Dix, and located in Burling-
ton County.

typhoid Carrier Locked Up.


John McGetteick, a typhoid carrier,
who caused recent outbreak of ty-
phoid fever at Bordentown, was COM
mitted to the Jail at Mount Holly, be-
ing held on charge to keep the peace.
He had been employed by a milkman
in that city, and the State Board OF
Health found that while handling the
milk it had become infected by this
man.
Having been the cause of two other
outbreaks of the disease, one at Gran,
bury, where five deaths resulted, and
one in Pennsylvania, the health author
tiles thought heroic measures should
be adopted, so he was sent to jail.
There is no law whereby such cases
can be put in confinement or be iso-
lated, hence the technical charge of
being held to keep the peace was
lodged against him.
After the Cranbury outbreak the
state board endeavored to keep trace of
him, but when he went to Pennsyl-
vania they lost his location until he
appeared at Bordentown.
After being sent to Jail he was taken
ill and then was transferred to the Bur
lington County Hospital An effort
will be made to get his system clear of
the typhoid germs. A blood test is
now being made by the state board to
ascertain if he still is infected with
the germs.

from Camp Dix, in uniform, were on

On Tuesday evening some more of the
same soldiers went out Washington

not be hard to trace the source of the

MOTOR REPLACES
CIRCUS HORSES
Road Show Expects to Save
$1,000 Daily by Using Au-
tos for Transportation.
upKEEp AT A MINIMUM

Twelve hundred dollars is the
amount of money the new motorized
circus expects to save every day in
railroad transportation charges. This
estimate is based upon the daily aver
age cost of hauling to all big circuses
minus the estimated motor upkeep for
the new enterprise.
AS result Of this statement, issued
at the headquarters Of the United
States Circus corporation, at lao West
Forty-second street, New York, mo-
tor truck manufacturers, are watch
ing the project with a great deal Of
interest.
The success of this enterprise
means that the motor truck has be-
come a real competitor of the rail-
roads and electric lines on short
hauls," said one manufacturer in dis
tcussing the motorized circus, when
it can be proven that 100 motor trucks
with 100 trailers cari3save $1,000 each

to fifty miles, as this circus claims

ployed as drivers. The tire equip
