EY ROY x. MOULTON,

A Little Slice 4 Life
Twas n wild and stormy day.
An anxious crowd stood
In the street gazing upward.
When suddenly woman appeared
In fifth story window
And locked about in terror
At an adiacent window
Appeared a man with knife
When she saw him glaring
At her she screamed
And the crowd below EaSped.
Slowly the man emerged from
The window apd felt his way
Along stone coping
Far above the street.
Toward her window.
Inch by inch he crspt along
And she stared at him as tho
Fascinated
Finally she reused herself
And, determined to escape him
At any cost.
She cIasped ner hands before her
And jumped. down. down, down
To the street below.
The crowd gathered round.

A sharp voice split the air.
You'll nave to do
That all over again. Lizzie,

Marine Officer Killed
AS Auto Hits Live Wire
Lieuteumls George A. Virgins
Eleoirocused on Way Home
Isom pcrt ashington

POII WASHINGTON. Long Island,
July Pr ie-tenaar George A. Wig
gins, recently discharged from the
Marine Corps, was killed early this
morning by driving his automobile into
live wire while returning to his home
in New Hyde Par kfrom a dance at
the Port Washington Yacht Club.
Alan Dim, of Port Washington, and
Miss Margaret Hung, Of Great Neck,
were on their way home in a car Just
ahead Of Lieutenant Wiggins's. Dinn's
headlight revealed a tree from which
wires dangled, blown across Plandome
Road during the storm, and he drew
his car to the side of the road to hunt
afoot for a way of getting past.
Before he could get out Lieutenant
Virgins came along. Not hearing
Dinn's shout Of warning or seeing the
dangling wires, he tried to drive under
the trunk Of the fallen tree There
was just room for his car, but room
to ascape the wires. AS the car came
in contact with them there was a burst
Of sparks and Virgins collapsed in his
seat, dying instantly. He was the son
of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Wiggins

two-story concrete building, erected in
the form of a cross, with sections fifty
-eet wide, containing approximately
$4,000 square feet Of all daylight man
ufacturlng space There are about
forty-nlne acres of level land in this
property, which includes warehouses,
artesian wells, oil tanks, power plant,
gashouse and a garage. During the
war 900 men and women were en-
ployed at this plant.
Joseph P. Day was most enthusiastic
yesterday over the prospect of turning
these two big plants to peace-time US
age in the very near future To sell
the Bridgeport establishment will
mean the contamination of one of the
greatest industrial transactions ever
undertaken in this country, but after
his success in the development of New
ark Meadows for industrial purposes,
and after selling many of the largest
factories in this part of the country,
Mr.. Day feels that the Remington Arms
plant does not present an unsolvable

most efficient structures Of its kind
IN the country. 1t was erected in sew
enty days from the time ground was
broken until the first unit was in op-
Grafton. 1t is located about opposite
the centre of the huge main building
on the shore of a small cooling pond,
and is the work Of Stone & Webster
Engineering Company of Boston. 1t
ls such wonderful structure that it
has been commented on at leBgth by the
leading engineering journals through
out the country
1t should be said here that the Rem
ington Arms Company does not intend
to move from Bridgeport. 1t still re-
talnS and operates its original plant,
covering many acres. The property to
be sold is that lying north Of Boston
Avenue, the part of the plant built to
help win the war
To get back Immediately to peace
time conditions the Remingto Arms
Company has asked Mr. Day also to
sell its plant at Swanton, Vt. This is a

Soldiers Fear Land Fight
Attempt to Defeat Lane Farm
Plan Is Predicted

In an editorial headed Farms for
Soldiers" the current issue of "The
American Legion Weekly" says re-
turned veterans of the world war are
waiting with keen interest to see how
Congress meets the issue of providing
lands for them under the Lane plan.
The question OF soldier settlement
shortly will come to an issue in Con-
gress,' says the weekly. "One need not
doubt that the rolling barrage of a
landholders' lobby has been chartered.
Their are ample evidences that narrow
seltshness viii undertake to check
mate or defat the plan to help re-
turned soldiers render productive
thousands of acres Of idle lands. 1t
Will be interesting and profitable to
learn just how strong is the survival
in Congress of shifty, habby, ante
bellum political chicanery."

this company which held some Of the
largest government contracts, and to
carry out their orders they provided
an immense plant which, having served
its purpose, is to be turned now to
commercial usage. This enormous
factory property. representing perhaps
the largest single war plant in the
United States, has been placed in
the hands of Joseph P. Day for sale
and, according to Mr.. Day, it will be
sold quickly. because it is just the
sort of establishment for which some
Of the larger American industries are
combing the country
Whatever concern is fortunate
enough to obtain the great war plant
of the Remington Arms Company will
have one O. the finest industrial estab-
lishments IN the world. Though erect
ed in record time. it represents the
last word in modern industrial CON
struction. The plant itself consists
of thirteen units Of five stories each.
built of brick over steel frames with
New-York tribune., 1919-07-28

concrete floors, the buildings all be-
ing connected SO that they form
series Of large letter HIS. Sixteen
foot bays between the various units
provide Light on all sides and make
an all-daylight shop of the plant
Twenty-Five thousand persons were
employed here during war time.
An interesting feature of the estab-
lishment are FIVE heat-treating build
ings where drop forgings and the like
are handled They are so arranged
as to feed directly into the manufact-
uring units Stewart G. Co., of New
York, erected the plant, and though
they had to work rapidly to get it
into shape for the use intended they
thought Of the distant future as we'll
as Of the immediate present, and
planned building which could be
turned to industrial uses without diff
ticulty.
Engineers have declared that the
power plant of the Remington Arms
Company's war plant is one of the
New-York tribune., 1919-07-28

problem. especially in view of the fact
that some Of the largest industries in
the country are seeking a place which
they can occupy at once, and from
which they can launch campaigns for
world trade.
This plant of the Remington Arms
Company is of great interest to me
personally" Mr.. Day said yesterday.
ut is such big plant, 50 wonderful,
so complete and its record during the
war so splendid that it has engaged
my personal interest. Now we are
going to fit this plant into the prob
lem of reconstruction of American in
dustries, and on the day when l shall
see the smoke belching from chimneys
in the power house and I shall hear the
machinery singing its merry song of
industry; when I shall see the thou
sands of people actively and happily
employed, shall feel that have done
one Of the finest pieces of work that
ever has given pleasure TO real es-

Danger of Price Advance
John P. Kane, of John P. Kane Co.,,
one OF the most conservative buildir Q
distributors in this city, has pointed
out the danger Of continued price ad-
vances. and, while he is not an alarm
ist. ne reflects the attitude Of the best
minds III the building trades when he
says that the best way to solve the
terrific space shortage everywhere is to
keep the price OF materials within
reach Of the prospective consumer.
The building movement has started
under great handicap. It needs nour-
ishing, not nipping.' he said.
The chief centres Of latest activity
is Il the heart OF the city, where in
vessors have been afraid up to the
present time, to proceed with con-
struction plans, owing to the menace
of having jobs tied up by strikes or
failure of delivery Of materials.
Seventh Avenue in the upper thirties
and streets in the forties from Tenth
Avenue TO Lexington, are scenes of
greatest activity, and before another
thirty days the rat-tat-tat of the steel
r.veter and the exhaust of the founda
ton caissoG cage Will again be heard
in the financial district, where they
have been silent almost since the time
when the Equitable Building was unde.
construction, as the Cunard Company's 5
skyscraper rises to alter the lower
city's syline.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-28

When the United States went into
the war, on a SIS, ,OOoOoO,00o scale,
there were few persons in this
country who had sufficient time or
interest TO figure out how much of
the s2s,OoO0OO,oOo worth would be
used solely for destructive purposes
and now much could be retained, for
future use in the development and
expansion of American commerce and
trade. II is only now, with business
turning back TO normal conditions,
that one is able to realize what a
boon the country enjoys in having
such great establishments as were pro-
vided under the stress of the war
which now can be turned to CONNER
cial advantage.
Perhaps the best illustration of all
this is found at Bridgeport, Conn,
where is located the main plant OF the
Remington Arms Company. 1t was
