FERRY BOATS
DELAYED
3 HOURS
Boats Crash at Camden, But No
Injuries Reported--4 Killed as
Train Hits Auto in Fog at
Philadelphia

Hundreds of passengers and COM
muters, together with all kinds of We
hicle traffic. were held up for more
than three hours this morning be-
cause of one of the worst fogs that
has settled over this section in years.
The ferryboat Tottenville of the Stat
en- Island Rapid Transit railroad, af-
ter making the 6:13 trip over from
Tottenville, was forced to lay in the
slip on this side of the sound because
of the blanket of fog becoming so
thick that it was impossible to make
any object out within a few feet Of
the big craft.
All this time passengers and COM
muters going to work on Staten Is
land and New York and those coming
over from Tottenville to this city,
kept gathering on both sides of the
sound until there were more than five
hundred on each side waiting for the
boat to make a trip. 1t was $3.50
o'clock before superintendent Thomas
McKeon, who was on this side, de-
cided that it was safe to let the boat
out to make an attempt to get over
the sound. The presence of a steam
er near the mouth of the slip at the
foot of Smith street and number of
schooners and coal barges lying in the
path of the ferryboat would have
made 1t dangerous to operate the boat
back and sorth, 1t was said by Super
intendent McKeon and Captain
Abram Reckhow, who was on duty at
the time.
There was much grumbling on the
part of some that We're delayed in get
ting to work late this morning, while
others took the situation good natur-
edly, poked fun at each oS.ler on how
they would fare when they entered
their place of business to face the
boss as they came in late. There was
a great hurrah when the boat came
into the Tottenville slip at 80
o'clock loaded with passengers, auto
trucks and other vehicles.

DOCTORS find
REMEDY FOR

CaIotabs, the New NauseaIess Cal

and May Prevent Fin By
Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from ex-
perience. during the epidemic of in
fiuenza. that one of the most i'm
portant factors in the prevention of
fiu and pneumonia is to keep the
liver active so that the digestive
organs may be in perfect working
order and the system thereby en-
abled to throw on colds, check sore
throat. and resist serious complica-
tions. For this purpose they have
found that the new. nausealess
caIomel tablets called Calotabs, are
far more effective even than the old
style calomel, which was formerly
the universal favorite, as Calotabs
do not weaken the patient, nor in
terfere with the appetite and diges-
ton
At the FIRST sign of a cold or sore

LEAGUE SORT OF FIRE
ENGINE SAYS WILLIAMS

The league of nations as a medium
OF expressing the conscience OF the
world and as an instrument for ad-
vancing international civilization was
pictured in glowing terms by DR.. Tai
colt Williams, dean emeritus of the
School of Journalism at Columbia Uni
versity. at the luncheon of the City
Club yesterday at the clubhouse on
Farragut square.
''In the minds OF most OF us the
league of nations is regarded as a
sort Of fire engine" said DR.. Williams
Many who are not friendly to tie
league have expressed the fear that
the new fire engine will be called out
to extinCuish many fires IN which the
United States has no direct concern
Yet we hear no one argue against a
fire department for a city or town
on the theory that the person would
be compelled to help support an insti-
tuition that might be called upon to
put out fires only at his neI>bors'
houses.
Nobody knows when his own house
Is going to catch FIRE, and d person
knows that what he pays totard the
FIRE department is payment for protec-
ton to his own house"

SOUTH GAINS
IN PRODUCTION
Rapidly Becoming Known
For Crops Other Than
Cotton, Says Holland.

In the monthly publication Of the
City National Bank. which was is
sued on September IL, there seemed
to be an intimation that the cotton
planters OF the South may have
made q mistake when they agreed
last year to curtail the planting OF
cotton. For Il seemed to these
New York bankers. apparently, that
the enormous demand. both domes-
tic and foreign, which Is sure to
come to the United States for raw
cotton. would make II certain that
cotton could be marketed at prices
which would return to the planters
reasonable PROFITS.
But there now appears to be an
other point of view. Richard IL.
Edmonds, editor OF the Manufac-
turers' Record. of Baltimore. than
whom there is no higher expert au-
thority upon industrial, Transports
tion- and agricultural conditions in
the South. has been able to secure
authentic figures which seem to on
set those which tell OF the falling
OFF in the production OF cotton this
year. although. according to some
reports. the cotton harvest may not
exceed 10000. 900 bales.
For the Southern farmers have on
set the unexpected falling of in the
production of wheat. II the Southern
farmers have reduced their cotton out
put. not by chance. or by reason OF
climatic disturbances. but in pursu-
ance of what they believed to be q
sound economic policy. they have
demonstrated to the nation that the
South Is likely to match and possibly
by and by to surpass other great sec
tions of the country IN the production
OF crops.
A few years ago the South was re-
garded as a section of the country
chiefly occupied in the cultivation OF
cotton and tobacco. although 1t also
produced sugar cane and considerable
corn. Now. in view OF the record
made by the Southern crops of 1919
that section of the country will no
longer be regarded as almost exclus-
lively a producer of cotton.
Mr. Edmonds' figures show that
there was gain in the Southern
States OF 326. 10000 bushels over the
crop harvested a year ago. This gain
has been of inestimable value to the
United States. for II undoubtedly
makes it possible to report that the
entire harvest OF this year. even
though there be a falling OF IN wheat
and some in Indian corn. is at least
an average harvest. The Southern
crops undoubtedly made 1t unneces-
sary for the government authorities
to report later in the year that by
reason of climatic disturbances the
harvests Of 1919 have been very dis
appointing. HOLLAND.
