Twenty-seven men were injured,

Bayonne, N. j., about noon Yesterday
The injured were taken to the Bayonne
Hospital in automobile trucks, while
the company fire department tried to
confine the flames to the nearest build
ings.
The case and can house was about
200 feet long, and stood at the end
of a pier running out into Newark
Bay. 1t was the place where gasolene
containers were filled for export from
spigots which lead from huge tanks at
some distance from the building.
The cause of the explosion is not
known. One of the workmen was fill

binding flash and the building rocked
Two other explosions followed while
the 400 employees were piling out of
the building. Before all were out

Near the wrecked house 200 women
and girls were at work. They became
panicstricken and ran screaming into

have come to the parting of the
ways. Irma had John summoned be-
fore Magistrate Tobias in Yorkville
court yesterday and said:
II gave him $50 on Easter Sunday
and he spent it to have our pictures
taken and on theatre tickets and caba-
rets. l want my money back"
John told the court he would pay
the money if given month to get it,
because he is a striking garment work
er. Magistrate Tobias handed down
decision of momentous Importance,
The spending of young woman's
money by her escort does not consti-
tute petty larceny, he holds.
S1NCE the BARRIERS strike began there
IS considerable element of risk in
getting shaves and haircuts at East
Side shops.
Many lathered customer has taken
to his heels as missiles came hurting
through the front window. A barber
shop known as "Joe's," at 70 Second
Avenue, was rushed by strike SYM
pathizers yesterday after a brickbat
barrage had demolished the window.
The non-union BARRIERS saved them
selves by building a barricade of
chairs IN the rear of the shop, behind
which they f1ourished razors and shaw
ing mugs in truculent manner.

Mayors Committee Say
Location Called Ideal
Tennis Courts, Ball Grounds
and Swimming Pools Are
Among Advantages Cited

Plans for the conversion of the naval
training station at Pelham Bay into
vast housekeeping centre, affording
comfortable shelter for at least twenty
five thousand victims Of the house
shortage, are being formulated. An
inspection Of the station was made yes
terday by Edward I. Hannah, of the
Mayors Committee on Rent Profteer-
ing, accompanied by William j. Lee,
Superintendent of Recreation of the
Department Of Parks, and Captain C.
4. Goldsmith. Captain j. w. Timmons,
commanding the station, escorted the
party through the buildings and the
grounds.
Admiral Glennon commandant Of the
3rd Naval District, informed Mayor
Hylan recently, in response to an in
qulry, that the navy had further use
for the station. 1t was said, yesterday,
however, that some of the buildings
are now available. Although the station
has accommodations for $4,000 men,
there are less than 900 there now.
These are to be transferred to other
stations, it is understood.
Ideal for Families
The inspection party announced on
the completion of its tour that the sta
ton is ideally fitted to provide shelter
for families, especially those with chill
dren The barracks, according to Cap
tain Goldsmith, could be made into
private living quarters by the con-
struction of partitions. Lumber from
the stands now bordering Central Park
along Fifth Avenue will be used, he
said.
Pelham Bay Park covers 1855 acres,
while the buildings, 537 in number,
cover 1876 acres. The waters of Long
Island Sound provide an attractive
summer playground, being shallow
enough for wading. The soil is fertile
and it is planned to cultivate numer-
Gus vegetable and flower gardens.
Tennis courts, baseball diamonds and
other Fairgrounds will be provided
for the residents at low cost The
WV A'tNOOi pOOio, WHlCu are
purified by violet ray process, will be
preserved. The pools are 60 feet long
by 20 wide and vary in depth from to
~ feet.
Buildings Are Substantial
The buildings of the station are sub
stantially constructed. The windows
are numerous and splendid ventilation
is assured by a system which brings
air in at the base of the buildings
and passes it through the interior.
The buildings are heated by steam in
winter. The Westchester Lighting
Company supplies electricity. The
buildings are piped for city water
There are sixteen huge mess halls
with kitchens equipped with every type
OF sanitary cooking device. At pres
ent the galleys are stocked with
ratons to feed 5000 persons for three
months. More than $4,000 tons of
soft coal are on the grounds.
The huge hospital and infirmaries
could be used to take care of the COM
munity's sick, Captain Goldsmith said.
Mayor Hylan, in a statement issued
yesterday, said that he believes the
Board of Estimate and the Board of
Aldermen have power to take the
necessary steps to convert the sta
ton into a cooperative housekeeping
area.

Sustains 95-Cent Gas Rate

The Brooklyn Borough Gas Company
lost yesterday what is probably the last
round in the fight over the 95-cent gas
rate. The appellate division Of the Su-
preme Court affirmed, without opinion,
the decision of Justice Cropsey, declin-
ing to interfere with ar order of Jus
tice Benedict which cnjoined the gaa
company from charging more than 95
cents per 1000 feet. Justice Cropsey
said he felt he could not amend the
order Of justice having equal juris-
diction The gas company appealed.

The Second Generation Must Look
Ahead-AS Well as Behind

"HE second generation in business must
look to its future, and not so much at its
Il past. The men of former generation who
built prosperous manufacturing houses modern
in their time The men of this generation must be
modern in their time-which is today.
To follow old ways, to be content with methods
handed down by others, is to cut off power while
climbing the grade built by competition.
Your fathers met the competition of old houses
and won because they introduced new ideas What
your fathers did your competitors can do. The
new concern, spurred on by necessity, urged by
ambition, grasping every opportunity to better its
production, its product and its selling operations,
must be with like energy and progressive plans
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-03-10

The manufacturer who holds to old ways admits
that habits are his masters. Old methods, like old
machinery, must be scrapped. Competition must
be anticipated instead of followed The business in
its first generation is going after second generation
trade.
The modern business knows only modern meth
ods 1t advertises to the consumer because it knows
that sale is made until the consumer is sold.
Advertising is placing second generation business
trial, for advertising has proved its selling force
to first generation business.
There is another generation coming. What will
it come into? Advertising is sales insurance; it
will build the greater business for the coming
generation.
