FIFTY PER CENT.
FOR WAR NEEDS
Government Will Require Half
Americans Earnings to Pros
ecute War.
By United Press.

WASHINGTON, June 11:-The
American people and business must
prepare for a severe lesson in econ
omcs-diversion of nearly fifty per
cent of their earnings to war needs
and conversion of non essential in
dustries to war work.
Today the total earnings of the
nations workers, manufacturers. re-
tailers and other trades and business
amount to $60,000,000,0OO. The war
this year, Secretary McAdoo esti-
mates. will cost $4,000, 100000
Food administration officials an
nounce that a fifty per cent. curtail-
ment in non-war industry is essential
to save fuel. This will be made as
gradual as possible. Fifty to sixty
million tons of coal must be saved
this year by enforced curtaiment, 1t
was declared.
A tentative list of non-war indus
tries has been prepared for guidance
of the war government in cutting in
dustries. Changes are necessary from
time to time.
Coal production is dropping off, the
decline for last week being one mil
lion tons below that n the previous
week. 1t is more than one million
tons below the weekly production
necessary if the six hundred million
ton production this year is obtained.
The government is developing an
elaborate campaign of education to
effect a patriotic refusal on the part
Of the people to buy non-es essentials.

To HONOR
FLAG ON FRIDAY
Dr. E. J. CatteII Will be Orator
at Ceremony of Lodge at
Majestic Theatre.

Flag Day this year will be observed
by Perth Amboy Lodge, No. 7S4, Ben
evolent and Protective Order of Elks
in much different manner than has
been done in the past several years,
when the lodge usually held exercises
in their club rooms.
They have secured the Majestic
theatre for this years event and pa
triotic meeting will be held Friday
night. Preparations for the event are
in the hands of committee com
posed of Esteemed Leading knight
Ferd Garretson; Esteemed Loyal
Knight George H. Miller and Esteemed
Lecturing Knight Charles Simmer thai
is making every effort for the success
of the undertaking.
An elaborate program is being pre-
pared for the celebration that will in
clude the ritualistic work of the Off
GERS Of the lodge, patriotic music and
brief talks by members Of the lodge,
DR.. f. j. Cattell, statistician Of the
city Of Philadelphia, will make the
principal address of the evening. DR..
Cattell is we'll known as an orator and
philosopher throughout the country,
where he has spoken before large au-
diences in many principal cities.
The event this year is expected to be
one of the best that the lodge has ever
held on an occasion of this kind. The
exercises will be public. The admis-
sion will be by tickets. which may be
obtained from any member of the
lodge without cost.

PREPAR|NGF FOR
THRIFT DRIVE
Will Be From June 21 to %
and Local Committee Plans
for Activity Here.

Robert L. Fowler, chairman of the
War Saving Stamp Committee has
called q meeting of the committee for
Thursday night at s O'Clock in the
Board of Trade rooms. The meeting
will be held in the interest of the War
Saving Stamp drive, which is to take
place for one week, from June 21 to
%.
Interest in Perth Amboy has been
directed more recently at obtaining
current quotas for war activities. The
sale of war savings and thrift stamps
for that reason has not been pressed
to the limit necessary if the quota for
the city, about 100000, is to be
reached by the last of the year.
The drive is being put forth ma
tionally, as an effort to very materially
increase the sales of the interest in
the stamps, than which the govern
ment offers few greater inducements,
or more lucrative investments.
The stamps are put out as an at
traction to the persons whose contribu-
tions to the war chest of the nation
are. of necessity, limited. They find a
ready sale, where properly pushed, in
the public schools and other places,
where children are attracted by the
patriotic appeal to invest their saw
ings
While the sale Of stamps in this city
has been going on steadily, the aver
age must be brought much higher, as
the year is half gone and the quota is
far from the halfway mark.
At Thursdays meeting, plans will
be promulgated for the big push and
the probabilities are that an intensive
drive to carry the thought of the
stamps into every mind in Perth Am
boy will be waged.

C|oud|and Mail Flyer
Tries for Altitude Record

NEW YORK, June 11:-Although
weather conditions were bad and inter-
fered seriously with time schedules,
the cloudland mail service between
New York, Philadelphia and Washing
ton was resumed this week and all the
aviators made their regular trips with
out accident.
The weather however, prevented
Lieutenant Webb from making his
proposed flight from Boston to New
York yesterday, with Mr.. Murray, the
Boston postmaster, as a passenger. He
telephoned Belmont Park that he
would postpone his fight until the
weather improved.
Lieutenant Miller took the New
York mail to Philadelphia, leaving
Belmont Park on schedule time.
Lieutenant. Culver arrived at Bel
mont Park soon after three o'clock
after a slow fight from Philadelphia
He brought with him five pouches
containing 1S0 pounds of mail
Lieutenant Culver reported that on
his trip to Philadelphia on Saturday,
he lad tried for an altitude record
hoping TO reach 1000 feet in the fine
weather he at that time encountered.
He reached a height of nearly eighteen
thousand feet, but found it SO cold
that he decided to put off the test un-
til his next Philadelphia bound trip,
when he will make special prepara-
tions to withstand the altitude tenn
peratures.
