HELD UP RESEARCH Work
Wars Absorption Of Scientists Wink
Entered Service Also Retarded
Investigations in Disease
Death Rate Jumps.

New York.-Study Of cancer during
the war was impeded, not only by TAX
ing physicians from research work
but because of the shortage Of mice,
which were used in large quantities
with the allied armies for the detec-
ton Of gas and the diagnoses Of GER
tain types Of disease, according to the
report Of DR.. Francis Carter Wood,
director Of the George Croker special
research fund of Columbia university.
Thousands of mice which had been
raised for research work were turned
over to the government. The mice
breathe very rapidly and are far more
sensitive to gases than human beings,
so that they were kept In exposed Sec
tors and observed closely, because
their behavior would indicate the COM
ing of gas long before 1t could be de-
tected by human beings. 1t was also
announced that mice had been sent
out on board every submarine, for the
same purpose.
Mice React to Gas.
One Of the most common troubles on
submarines has been from chlorine,
due to wet batteries. The mice react
to the gas long before 1t Is dangerous,
or ever perceptible, to the crew. thus
enabling them to find the difficulty
and repair 1t before the air becomes
so tainted as to be dangerous. In the
British army hundreds of canaries
were used, as well as mice. for the de
lection of gas. In addition to supply
ing thousands of mice to the govern
ment, the George Croker special re
search fuYd raised enough, however
to supply many medical schools and
research laboratories throughout thu
country.
The other use Of mice in the wal
was in discriminating between the va
rious types Of pneumonia prevalent oil
different times. Different types Of the
disease are treated differently, but II
Is often found impossible to discrlm'
inste between the different classes OF
symptoms in men. When mice were
inoculated with the germs, however
effects were produced which readily
classified the disease.
Doctor Wood reported that various
changes In cancer statistics has re
suited during the war, especially In
England, where large classes Of the
population had been sent to the war
but that a careful analysis of the fig
ures showed that the changes were
mainly due to %dislocation Of classes OF
population, not to any remarkable in
crease or decrease in the disease 1t
self.

APPROVES
Is BUSES HERE
Applications Granted at Meet
ing of Aldermen Last
Night

Applications for permits to operate
t~wenty-three Jitneys in this city were
approved by the Board of Aldermen
at a special hearing last night in the
city hall. All of the applications
granted were from men now actually
operating thor BUSES. Applications
from others who have not yet OBJ
tanned their machines were held over
for further consideration.
Permits will be granted for the
operation Of eleven buses on the
Carteret route, eight on the Metuch-
en- route, three to South Amboy and
one to Woodbridge via State street.
Fourteen bus owners representing
twenty-four lines were present 1t the
hearing which was turned over to
Alderman Albert @. Waters, chairman
of the Judiciary Committee, by Alder
man-at-Large Grouse after the meet
ing had been called to order.
The assertion was repeatedly made
that there were too many buses oper-
ating over the Metuchen to Carteret
routes. But the men who made the
statements were very loath to admit
that it might be better to have their
buses taken off in favor of someone
else.
The aldermen decided after the con-
clusion of a somewhat acrimonious de-
bate among the jitney owners that in
as much as the lines had almost/all
been started within so close q time,
practically all having been in OPP
GRAFTON by July, it would be unfair
to discriminate at present.
The City Clerk has been instructed
to grant the licenses tomorrow to the
approved applicants. All owners must
first deposit their $4,000 bond with
the City Comptroller against injuries
that may be sustained by passengers.
according to the state aw.
The city clerk has also been au-
thorized by the Board Of Aldermen
to grant the licenses for the bus
drivers and furnish the men with the
badges. Mr.. Hanson has accordingly
notified the drivers who have made
application to him to appear at the
city hall and receive their permits
and badges.
The applications of owners of jit-
for permits as approved by the
Board of Aldermen last night are:

EDWARDS GIVES
STAND ON n. ].
LIQUOR ISSUE
Candidate for Governor Speak
er at Meeting of State
Liquor Men
By speoiaI correspondens

LONG BRANCH, Aug. 7:-Senator
Edward 1. Edwards, Democratic
gubernatorial aspirant, in an address
today before the Wholesale Liquor
Dealers Association, declared that
New Jersey has concurrent powers
with the federal government in the
matter of prohibition enforcement,
n that If he is elected governor he
would refuse to sign any legislative
proposition concurring in the federal
amendment which did not record
what he believed to be the desires
of the people of the state.
He declared hat if the eighteenth
amendment, now a part of the con-
stitution, vas upheld by the United
States Supreme Court, the matter of
putting 1t into operation was reserved
to the people of states. His address
was as follows:
MY visits to the various counties
OF this state coupled with the numer
Gus responses of cooperation 1 have
received I'LL me with an assurance of
victory at the primaries and success
In November. My stand on the vital
issues of this campaign are so well
known thai their repetition may be
tiresome. Because of the fact, how
ever, that one of the candidates In
the Democratic primary seems to
have attempted to ~monopolize the
prohibition issue and has based his
candidacy upon the fact hat the
Democratic aspirants for nomination
have failed to state unequivocally
their positions on this particular
measure, 1 hope I may be pardoned
2or re~iterating it."

Bugbee Tells Of States
Farms at Grange Session
81 Special CORRESPONDENT.

YARDVILBE, August 7@Comptrol-
Ter Newton A. K. Bugbee, Republican
candidate for Governor, the principal
speaker at the Session of the Pomona
Grange of Mercer and Monmouth
counties, presented facts n figures
on agriculture to the Changers; statis-
tics that show the investments totaling
approximately 5000, 900, 900. The
Grange session was largely attended,
Springdale Park being the scene of
the session. Other speakers includ-
ed National Grange Lecturer j. e.
Ketchum and Walter H. Ravens, mas
ter of New Jersey State Grange, MI.
Bugbee said in part:
New Jersey has approximately
$500, 900, 900 invested in its agricultu-
raj industry. The estimated value of
all crops in the state for 1918 was
SIP, 500, 900. These figures give us a
definite idea of the magnitude of agri-
culture in this wonderful state of ours.
it might be interesting to analyZe the
farm production of last year. OF the
$112,0 900, 900 total valuation $4,000
900 was grain; $14,000,000 was hay;
$18.O0O,000 white potatoes; $4.000,O00
$4,000 fruit; s1,000.0 900 cranber-
and the balance in smaller truck.
This tremendous business has
many ramifications and many per-
picking problems among which are
protection Of crops and live stock
from disease and insects, increasing
production securing and maintaining
labor adequate to operate the busi-
ness and marketing the product. In
the solution of these problems it is the
aim of the State Administration to
give such assistance and cooperation
as 1t can. The state mas provided a
Department of Agriculture. an Agri-
cultural Experiment station and an
Agricultural College through which
it functions for the development of
agriculture"
