Red Cross Items.

"A letter was received last week
by the local Red Gross saying
that owing to the capture or
destruction by the Germans. Of
eighty six Italian ospitals -one
of them alone maintaining forty
thousand beds the garments
intended for the allied soldiers
in France have been rushed to
Italy. That leaves our own
wounded soldiers in France in
as great need as ever and the
Red Cross members arc urged
to redouble their efforts to com
plete these hospital garments as
quickly as possible.
Our sewing units here are not
only inviting, but they are re-
questing, that all the ladies who
can, whether Red Cross mem bers
or not. will come to help them on
Tuesday and Friday afternoons.
So much more work could be &C
complished if we could have more
workers in these units.
During the past two weeks the
Red Cross has been soliciting
cotton from the farmers and now
they are planning to sell the load
they have gotten. We are print

Do Your Work Well

1t is necessary that we work
before we IA enjoy recreation,
for without work there can be no
such thing as recreation.
We are placed in a world full
of work by a wise Creator, and it
is our means Of .justifying our ex-
istences to Him and to our fellow
men.
1t is our only reliable ource of
permanent happiness and con
tentment, as we'll as the means Of
worldly advancement.
All work is service either d.
rectly or Indirectly, and l think
that that feeling of satisfaction
and contentment that comes over
US at the end Of a days work well
done can be traced back to the
rule that sit is more blessed to
give than to receive.' If we can
look back over our days work
and feel that we have given to it
the best there is in us, we have
done everything.
This applies to the humble la
borer as well as to the highest Of
fical. The job doesn't matter; it
is how it is done hat counts. A
days work well done is one of
life's greatest achievements. Do
your best every day at what you
are doing now and your advance
ment will take care Of itself. He
who is depending on some special
dispensation Of Providence for
his advancement isdoomed to dis
appointment.
So the next time we feel that
we are tired Of our work, or that
we have to work too hard, let's
reflect that a "soft job will never
get us anywhere" for it is only
through hard work hat the best
there is in us is developed, and
therein lie our greatest opportun-
ities.-John Barrett.

The Strength of Wood

A piece Of Douglas fir, 16 feet
long and Is by 8 inches in cross
section, stood a pressure Of 49,
400 pounds before breaking at the
test conducted in the engineering
labratory Of the University Of
Washington by c. w. Zimmerman
Of the United States forest SER
vice.
The experiment was a demon
stration Of the standard used by
the forest service in testing bridge
spans. The beam was held by a
fifteen foot support and the load
was concentrated at two points
five feet from each end of the
beam. AS pressure was applied
the beam continued to bend until
the point of maximum DETECTION
was reached. Measurements
were then taken, and it was found
that the beam had bent 2.85 inch

With last weeks issue the Lu-

and departed to that unknown
realm where dead papers go. The
sheet was started several years
ago and gave promise at times Of
being a real newspaper but it new

son and j. Earl Fladeland laid it
quietly in it's grave last week with
a four column obituary. j. Earl
said some things in the obit that
have made the people O fthe city
feel that they have been misrep-
resented. They claim that the
fault was not theirs. However, be
that as it may, the Ledger has sus-
pended but the Pioneer is still on

verne will find a first class print
ing establishment and advertis-

door awaiting to give them the
best Of service at right prices.

es under the pressure Of $4,000
pounds. This occurred two min
utes after the test started.
Eight minutes later after 38,4O0
pounds of additional weight had
been added, the beam broke.
During this time there were no
further DETECTION Of the piece.
Mr.. Zimmerman explained that
the small fibers of the wood were
continually giving away under the
pressure, and at the end Of eight
minutes the beam, sufficiently
weakened, snapped suddenly.

to the Washington assembly.
a strike resolution came UP at the
meeting, but was put over, as it was
thought wise TO delay action until united
decision could be made and the threat
of absolute stagnation in naval con-
struction work used as a weapon.
In the Brooklyn Navy Yard there are
a dozen lodges, with an aggregate
membership estimated at about 10000.
Each of these lodges will meet to voice
its opinion regarding a strike and to
elect a delegate 70 Washington. 1t is
believed that this can be accomplished
in four or five days.
No formal expression Of opinion was
reAdered at last nights meeting as to
the necessity for a strike. A diversity
OF opinion was evident among the ma

themselves.
The question may also go TO District
Lodge a. of the international Associa-

Five Danbury Hatters
Renew Fight On Union

NEW HAVEN. Aug. 2S.--one hun
bred and ffty-fve Connecticut manu-
facturers met to-day at the Hotel Taft
at the invitation of five Of the most
important Dsnbury hatters and formed
an alliance which will stand back Of
any attempt to make the open shop, in
stead Of the union shop. the rule in
this state. The firms which called the
conference are the Frank H. Lee Com
pany, the John W. Gillen Sons Com
pany, the %" Company, the MeLach-
Ian Company and the rs. A. G. Hat
Company.
Representatives of these concerns
told the gathering that hat shops in
Danbury had been closed by strikes
for months. They. maintained that il
was most unpstriotic 10 permit capital
and labor to stand idle at this juncture.
The closed shop had been a failure
in Danbury, they said. and asked
whether they could depend upon sup
port from the manufacturers present
II they set out to change the order of
things and open their shops on equal
terms to union and non-union labor
The assembled manufacturers promptly
and unanimously voted that the hatters
could rely upon their support. The
FIVE hat makers will declare the open
shop policy In their shops Immediately.
Danbury Is q stronghold of organized
labor, and it's prompt response is ex-
pected. The employees Of the hatmakers
are already on strike in some shops,
and the decision reached to-day may
result in a general strike. Danbury's
strikes in the past have been bitter and
hard to break.

"Save breadstuffs by eating more
vegetables" says the New York State
College of Agriculture, which points
out that during the next few months
vegetables are likely to be abundant
and cheap, and that more Of them in
the diet will mean better health for
the family, as we'll as more cereals for
the Allies.
1t is estimated that IL each person in
New York State saves one slice OF
bread each day it would pile up 100000
bushels more OF wheat TO be sent TO
Belgium, France and England. This
Saving a slice a day. is said to be
easy il one will eat more Of the fresh
vegetables produced this year in such
abundance. Some markets have been
glutted with fresh vegetables. Learn
which are cheapest and choose these
rather than the high-priced ones, and,
when prices are low, put them away in
cans or dry them at home, is the coll
lege's advice.

Experts Test New Oil
Engine in r abroad Run

A specially constructed railroad car
equipped with kerosene oil burning
engine, made a trial round trip from
Manhattan Junction TO Trenton yes
terday. as a demonstration Of the pos
sibilities it opens for providing a solu-
ton to the fuel problem. In the car
was a party Of railroad men, repre-
sentatives cf the United States navy
and British Admiralty and engineers.
The car, which was manufactured by
the Electric Car and locomotive CON-
pany, was equipped with the Beach on
Electric Motor, invented by K. W.
Beach, president Of the company. The
round trip was made in a little less
than the regular running time for
steam trains between the two points
and the party of experts found much
to praise IN the engine.
In discussing his invention. Mr..
Beach stated that he believed he had
solved the problem Of substituting
kerosene oil for gasolene in engines
Of standard design.
There is no carburetor use" said
Mr.. Beach, "and when working the
engine gives off no smoke, no odor,
makes no carbon deposit, and there is
no change whatever in the engine de-
sign. In the experiments ] have con-
Quoted, I have found that / can get

ing cheap fuel in all standard internal

Mr.. Beach has been conducting ex-
periments with his kerosene oil burn
ing engine for four years.
In the party on the trial trip were
Captain Fry, Of the United States
Navy; John II. Greaves, representing
the British Admiralty, and representa-
tive railroad men from many parts of
the country.

the whole matter would rest with the

$685.
In that estimate the cost at the mine
and the iobbers profit are the only
fixed items. The freight charges may
vary a few cents, according to the To-
cation of the mines. The barge cost
represents an average figure, and the
towage charges are sometimes eight
cents a ton.
Present coal prices to the consumer
range between $3.50 and $3.50 q ton,
depending upon grade, size and the
dealer's profit. When the new price to
the consumer Is arranged, in addition
% the dealers margin of profit, the
dealers overhead expenses, including
the cost Of delivering, will have TO be
added.
THE new schedule at the mines
ought not to bother the retailers" said
Mr.. Willenbrock. Naturally, if We can
buy coal cheaper we can sell it
cheaper"
The profit per ton for the dealers is
now running between Is and 20 cents.
Under the new prices the margin may
.,I:, higher, owing 10 unknown circum-
stances that may arise, in the belief OF
Nj. Willenbrock. If the retailers took
a 20-cent profit Under the new schedule
tho cost 20 the consumer would be
about $40, but Mr.. Willenbrock does
not consider a retail price that low as
likely.
The price fixed in Washington does
not vary much from the present pre-
vaiiing prices, William H. Truesdale,
president of the Lackawanna Railroad,
said.
Some weeks ago." he said, "the Fed
eral Trade Commission fixed the prices
to be charged by the coal companies.
The prices permitted to be charged by
the smaller operators were little
higher than those permitted for the
others, and IL was agreed that the COM
panies should advance the price ten
cents month from April until Sep
TENDER. The September price was TO
mark tho high level and to remain
throughout the winter"
Michael F. Burns, president of Burns
Brothers, agreed that the price-hxing
would make little difference to the con-
sumner.

Little Change in
Hard Coal Prices
Local Dealers Agree That
Washington's Action Will
Bring Small Reduction

Prices for anthracite coal, fixed last
night in Washington by the President,
will have little or no effect on the re-
tail price in this city, dealers agreed
last night.
The cost Of egg anthracite to dealers
here after September l will be in the
neighborhood of $685. ton, based on
the governments minimum figure Of
s4.45 at the mine, it was estimated last
night by John D. Willenbrock, of the
coal firm OF Heneken & Willenbrock.
This price includes transportation,
barge charges, towage costs and the
margin of 20 cents ton allowed TO
jobbers. II the mine schedule is
properly enforced, according TO Mr.:
W,llenbrock, the consumer can buy coal
at prices ranging from S7.S5 to $500 a
ton, depending upon the profit neces,,
sary to the dealer and his overhead
costs.
Ircluded in the following table are
the estimated coal costs to the dealer
under the new regulation OF 81 ton:
