Aviator Gets Cuff Buttons

81 Special Correspondent.


kEYPORT. Aug. 6.-Postmastec
Rufus o. Walling is perhaps the first
postmaster to take a trip in a sea-
plane, in this vicinity, having had the
pleasure on Monday afternoon of
making an extended trip with aviator
Cyrus j. Zimmerman. The plane
sailed v the borough several times
and then few over the bay toward
Keansburg. Mr.. Walling t~horoughly
enjoyed the trip which was witnessed
by many of the borough people all
though at the time it was not known
that Postmaster Walling was in the
plane.
Aviator Zimmerman is now prac-
ticing daily for the throwing of mail
on board the "Adriatic" when she
leaves port on Aug. 14th. The plan
is to fly out and meet the boat when
she is three or four hours at sea. This
will be the official opening of the mail
service between New York and the
ships at sea-, Aviator Zimmerman Is
to be the pilot.
In preparation for the coming
flight, a daily flight is made here. A
large mast has been erected near the
Aeromarfne Plane and Motor Conn
pany's plant here which represents
the mast of the beat. In order 70
make a sure landing for the ma af-
ter 1t has been thrown, the a is att
tached to a long rope to which has
been fastened a large hook, h II as
surfing a safe landing place. 1t is most
difficult to throw an object from q
plane and have 1t land exactly where
intended unless by some ~
can be attached as above.
The feat is considered very difficult
but aviator Zimmerman expects to ac-
comp1ish 1t. 3
Aviator Zimmerman is in receipt
of a pair of handsome cuff buttons
presented to him by former Mayor
Ferd Garretson, chairman of the
Welcome Home committee of Perth
Amboy, in recognition of Zimmer-
mans recent fight there.
He has also been presented with a
medal from the city of South Amboy
for a like service. The aviator thor
! oughly appreciates both gifts and is
most proud of them.

addicts of the city of New York, 1t

Commissioner Copeland then an

Now the people of Staten Island

about the change remains a secret

of the fact that Mayor Hylan per-

Thrown Up on Florida Beaches by the Waves They Are Collected and

J Along the Florida beaches a very common and familiar kind of rock is wholly composed of the shells of small species of mOllusk. oval in shape and half an inch long. It is called "coquina," and is hard on the feet if one walks over 1t without shoes.
 In beds below the line of low tide are mOllusks of the same kind, alive. Their bfvalve shells are pink, blue and of other colors, quite brilliant, so that In places the beaches are beautiful to the eye, great numbers of them being thrown up by the waves along the shore.
 Under such circumstances they soon die, of course, leaving their pretty shells to adorn the strand. But there are always plenty of live ones at the waters edge, and these are gathered in quantity at some of the winter re- sorts by boys who collect them with rakes and carry them in baskets to the hotels for sale.
 They are used for soup, being pressed to a pulp in order 10 extract their juice. The latter. strained and heated. affords a very delicious table beverage known as "cOquina broth" It is particularly recommended for in- yalids and persons with weak digcs- tion.

New York, Jan 31-Hal Chase, one of the best first basemen of all time, will be acquitted on the charges pre- ferred against him by the Cinhinnad Club, in the opinion of two or three who heard some of the testimony at his hearing in private yesterday be- fore John A. Heydler, President of the National League.
 MT. Heydler, however, reserved his decision, after two long sessions at National League headquarters, No. West 10th Street, and Chase's future, so far as baseball is concerned, liter ally is in his hands.
 Technically, Chase is charged with violating section 40 of the National League constitution, which. in short, is agreeing or conspiring to influence the result of a baseball game. The penalty as prescribed by the consti- tuition is disqualification.
 The hearing began in the morning and after an adjournment for luncheon, was continued in the after noon and came 10 an end at o'clock. Reams of testimony were taken and at the conclusion MT. Heydler said:
 "I have taken the case under ad- visement and will make a careful, thorough and considerate review of the testimony before announcing a finding.
 "It will not be possible to get the tstenographic report before Monday and it is likely to be two or three days later before my decision is an nounced."

BOSTON BRAVES PURCHASED BY
 GEO. ". GRANT

New York, Jan. 31-George Wash ington Grant, motion picture and theatrical promoter of this city, yes terday bought the controlling interest in the Boston Baseball Club of the National League. While a New York banking concern, Millet, Roe & Ha gen. owned the controlling stock, it was held by their Boston representa- tive, Arthur c. Wise, the Boston banker who was vice president of the club, and has run it's affairs since last summer
 Grant was advised to buy the club by Manager John J. McGraw of the Giants, who became acquainted with Grant when the Giants and White Sox made tl2 trip around the world in 1913. Grant was in London at that time. He was in the motion picture business, and was also basking the roller skating sport, which was en- toying great popularity abroad at that time.
 The price paid by Grant has not been made known, but il is said to be about $40O,0 900. The rental of Braves Field, which is owned by James E. Gaffney. has always been heavy burden to the club. and it is stated thta under the new ownership the Red Sox may share the Braves ball yard. under an arrangement like that of the Giants and Yankees at the Polo Grounds here
 The concern with which MT. Wise is connected did not dispose of all its stock, it is understood, and MT. Wise will continue as member of the board of directors. MT. Grant was in Boston yesterday, and it was an nounced that George Stallings will be retained as manager. StaIlings has 4 contract which has two years to run. said to call for SIP 900 a year. Walter dapgood will be retained as secre- tary and business manager.
 The new Boston owner is a close friend of Charles F. Stoneham, the new president of the Giants, and has offices in the same building on Broad street, Grant became interested ir the Boston purchase as soon as Stone ham bought the Giants

WAITING FOR ZERO
Tense Minutes Before Argonne
 Battle Opened.
English Officer Describes the Behavior of American Soldiers in That Fight as WonderfuI-"Will
 Forever Honor Them"

Tt was the zero hour in the Ar gonne," remarked Maj. H. T. Hayden, an English officer, now in this country, when I was first impressed with the greatness of America. l happened to be detailed to an American unit. There were French and American and English soldiers there, but was with an American command. It doesn't matter what the occasion. When the battle of the Argonne began l was in a dugOut when an American officer commanding a regiment of artillery stood with his watch in his hand, counting the seconds. He had been ordered to begin firing at 30 in the morning. All along that line of many miles the officers of the groupings had their orders. Tn zero hour was } 30. This particular officer stood waiting, waiting. I lived an age in five minutes. The seconds seemed to drag an awful length. One, two, three, four l counted.
 But finally zero came. This officer turr 10 his aid. It was not neces- sary. This aid, captain, had antici- pated his commander. It was shock, the greatest and the grandest shock I ever had. Waiting, waiting for the time, I was taken off my pins when it came by the thunder of the artillery. For miles and miles and miles the guns roared. It comes only once in q life time, and few lifetimes, at that, to be present on such an occasion. It seemed that hell had broken loose.
 II don't know how any human being can live through such a thing, but we did. For six hours the guns spoke, and then for brief period there was q cessation Once more they started and it was not until after noon that i they stopped. Meantime the infantry was preparing to make it's charge. rode along the front lines of artillery in the early morning. Below l saw
 the American boys getting ready to
 make their drive It was the most
 wonderful, the sublimest sight I ever 1 saw or ever expect to see. l shall I.never forget, because 1t is stamped in 1 delibly in my brain, the enthusiasm | and the exuberance Of the American | gunners. They may have had no previ- Ous training, but I shall forever honor
 the American artillerist, and l shall
 never forget the opening of the battle l of the ArgOnne."

It Is curious to recall how many thrilling Saturdays and Sundays there have been during the war. It was on q Sunday that Germany committed her first definite act of war. On q Sunday the London Times published its telegram about the retreat from Mons, which created so painful feel ing in that country. The crucial day of the second battle of Ypres, when the Germans nearly broke through with the help of gas. was Saturday. It was on Saturday that the earlier dispatches regarding the battle of Jut- land created so unfortunate an i'm pression. and it was on a Saturday in March this year that we began to real ize the grim possibilities of the Ger man offensive of that month.

One hundred and sixteen years ago, on December IS, 1892, there was born at Preston, Conn.,, George D. Prentice, who became one of the most noted newspaper men of his time, the father of the editorial paragraph, as the short terse pointed comments he made on men and matters were called, and who narrowly missed an editorial career in Ohio.
 Prentice toured Ohio In 1880, after he had already made a name for him self in eastern journalism, looking for location, but passed on into Ken lucky, where at Lexington he began work on his Life of Henry Clay and ultimately became editor a the Louisville Journal. On his way through
