What Temperature Is Your House Now2

of moisture in the air In the winter the air heated

warm, dry air COOL That is why summer day that is

Jersey Commuters Held Up
Commuters from South Jersey, whose

discovered, many Of them, when they
sought their accustomed trains to New
York, that no trains were running Fer
hours a considerable part of New Jer-

Long Branch Railroad was the worst
hit At it's most westerly point this
road approaches South Amboy, swcrv-
ing thence to Matawan, Red Bank, Long
Branch, Asbury Park and other coast
resorts.
Direct service on this line, which nor
mally runs fifty trains a day to New
York, was cut off by the explosion. The
train from New York which reached
Long Branch at :39 a. m. was the last
to be operated. A makcshift service by
way of Sea Girt was eventually estab
lishcd.
Telephone connections also had been
severed in many instances, and neither
commuters nor railroads were able to
get the information which they sought.
Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
said that its service was practically I'M
affected. The main lines to Philadel-
phia and other important points re-
manned clear, and the only interruption
was on an unlmpOrtant feeder to At

Rock Foundation
OF ". Y. Lessons
Force of Blast

The solid rock foundation Of Man
haitian Island and the surrounding ter
rtory probably lessened the force Of
yesterdays explosion and saved the CITY
from consi derable damage Just how con-
, cussons are transmitted from far dis
lecture among scientific men yesterday.
The rock foundation Of Manhattan
not only makes possible the erection
of skyscrapers, but also furnishes q
foundation with great resistance to lat
eral shocks. Parts of Staten Island,
which are marshy, are much more like
" to be shaken violently by the lateral
explosion than the rocky strata which
prevail generally.
DR.. Henry Arctowski, chief of the
science division of the New York Pub
lie Library, was Of the opinion that
most OF the destruction wrought by
high explosions at some distance was
caused by compression of the air.
at is net so much the shock of the
explosion along the ground as the com
preston OIL ar resulting from 1t that
produces destruction" he said
Dr. Arctowski explained that the
transmission of explosive force through
rock bed depends more on the folding
of the rock than on it's qualification,
The rock bed underlying New York
City, he said, is composed of series
of blocks more or less loose throughout
all the strata. A shock would be dis
tributed along the various strata with
moro regard to the folding of the lay
ers than to the hardness of the rock.
Because OF the unknown explosive
strength of 7 n 7 and the even more
violent amythol DR.. Arctowski was I'M
willing to hazard any prediction as to
what damage might be done to the bor
oughs OF New York City from across the
bay.
shattered windows and other damage
were much less likely, in his opinion.
to result from the conclusion carriad
along or through the earth than from
compression OF the air or flying par
ticlcs e r"'
Chief Engineer Ridgway of the Pub
ne Service Commission also discounted
the possibility that explosions in Jer-
sey would be carried along noticeably
IN the rock foundation underlying Man
haitian.
The rock foundation would nm.
doubtedly carry conclusions, but the
idea that they would be felt enough in
Manhattan to throw modern building
out or line is ridiculous" he declared

guards pushed them back gently
across the Raritan, where they spent a
night Of torture and uncertainty.
From the time of the first series Of
explosions, a little before o'clock,
until nearly midnight they waited.
Then the inferno within the plant
burst forth into new series of ex-
plosions that rocked Monmouth Coun-
ty. The people rushed back to their
homes-some to prepare for flight and
others to hide in the cellars a
determination not to leave while the
safety of the head Of the house was
in question.
With these midnight explosions Nor
gan and South Amboy we're cut off from
all communications with the outside
world. AS the hours advanced the men
ace became more threatening. The
flames spread to the unit where the
shells for the 75's were assembled, and
they went off with a crash. Burning
screaching projectiIes were hurled high
in the air, threatening to blow up the
entire plant.
Scenes as on Battle Front
Master of Arms Brooks Curry, Of the
Coast Guard, was standing about a mile
from the plant talking to a civilian
when shell blew the civilians head
off Near by Coast Guard officers had
shouted the warning to newspaper re-
porters, and by falling fat on their
faces these men escaped the bernhard
ment.
When Morgan sent out its first APP
peal for help, P. Floersch, owner OF
the new Pamker House in Perth Am
boy, put his hotel at the disposal of
the authorities. AS soon as the
wounded filled the hospitals the hotel
was turned into a temporary receiving
station for the victims being brought
in who did not need il mediate surgical
attention. Cots were placed in the
halls and lobby and many hundreds OF
those only slightly hurt spent the night
there.
Early in the evening the exodus of
panicstriclen men, women and chill

Altman Fly Through
Explosion Debris

Robert Shank, pilot Of the mail aero
plane which reached Belmont Park
yesterday from Philadelphia. passed
directly over the crupting nutrition
plant at Morgan, N j., at height of
about 1000 feet. Some of the debris
reached that altitude, he said. He
could see the flash of explosions and
saw buildings collapse, but the noise
of his propeller prevented him from
hearing the detonations. None Of the
fragments came close to him.
He did not linger in the vicinity,
but made his trip in what almost was
record time. His trip from Phifadel-
phia took as minutes, and from Wash
ington to Philadelphia his flying time
was hour and 20 minutes. Max Mil
Ter, who took the mail to Washington,
started just as an explosion came
which shook his hangar at Belmont
Park.

mace at Morgan where, lurking behind
the smoke, 100000 pounds Of powerful
INT was hidden, threatening to wipe
the last trace of the town from the
map.
When the first explosion in Unit
Gil shook the city on Friday night
the hysterical people rushed toward
the plant from all directions. They
came half in sympathy and half in
fear. The power Of the explosion
seemed to draw them to it. Frantic
women and children, whose husbands
or fathers were employed in the works,
perhaps in the building, led the way.

They fought the guards for the right
to sec their own or claim their dead.

Bank and Keyport. Some who lived
near Morgan went to South Amboy, hut
the panic among the people of this
place soon LED them to seek another
haven.
Roads Clicked with Refugees
The refugees filled the roads. Women
carrying children and pushing their
household goods in front of them IN
baby carriages made a scene similar 20
those that occur on the Western front
in France. They stumbled along Wild
eyed. Some were suffering from shell
shock and had to be led Most OF
them headed across the old wooden
bridge over the Raritan and made their
way toward Perth Amboy.
Not all in this struggling crowd
reached the city. There were among
them men who had been injured at
the plant, who in panic had fed from
the scene without getting medical aid.
They walked until exhausted. and then
fell in the open countryside. Many
walked of these were picked up by the
women of the Motor Corps of America,
who fearlessly worked through the
