The 50-hour week was not grant

great demand on the market at
present for wooden goods. a demand
which is far from being supplied and
every working hour during the rush
is needed. 1t was found that the

that very few OF them ever made
the bonus OF five per cent paid for
piece work amounting TO S96 or
more for a four week month and FIVE
per cent. for 1920 or more for a five

TAKE WATER CASE
To WASHINGTON
Trying to Get Reimbursement
for Money Spent to Supply
Raritan Arsenal

The Board of Water Commissioners
has decided to deal with the officials
at Washington instead OF trying to
conduct negotiations with the Camp
Raritan officers at Bonhamtown con-
cerning the contract made between
the government and the Water Board
whereby the board would furnish the
government with water from two TO
three and a half million gallons daily.
This contract has never been full
filed by the government, although the
water board is now ready to supply it
and, after spending about $4,000 on
extensions in order TO meet the in
creased demands of the government
il is losing between $3.50 and $3.50 n
day in water rents which IL would be
securing from the government.
A promise on the part of the gov
ernment TO pay the city $4,000 in ad-
vance TO help defray the expenses of
making the extensions, has not been
kept and a visit by members of the
water board and Superintendent Sam
uel j. Mason TO the Bonhamtown
plant about a week ago to see what
the government was going to do In
the matter, did not result in the com
missioners getting any satisfaction.
At a special meeting of the board
Tuesday night it was decided to take
the matter up with Washington direct
and the clerk was instructed to write
giving all particulars of the matter

WING Of PLANE
BROKE IN SQUA[L
Flyer Has Nose Broken When
Machine Dashes to Ground
Mail Sent on by Train

Leon II. Smith, postal aviator with
mail from Washington and Philadel
phia for New York, passing over Rar-
itan Bay about 3 o'clock yesterday ar
ternoon, ran into a squall and when
he attempted to land on the beach
near Sea Breeze Point, Staten Island
n wing of his machine broke. This
drove him to the ground and the big
government machine was wrecked.
Smith, who was pinned under the
wreckage, was soon extricated by a
number of men at the Peters Rar-
itan Bay hotel nearby, who saw him
fall. Smith received a broken nose
and his left eye was badly cut.
He refused medical attention at the
time and said that he would wait un-
ill he got to New York. where he said
he would go to a hospital to be treat
ed. He stayed by the machine until
the eight sacks of mail that he car
ried were taken to the TottenVille pos
tai station of the Staten Island post
office, where they were turned over 20
Superintendent George w. Slaight TO
be sent on TO New York. The ight
sacks, which contained the mail from
Washington and Philadelphia. were
sent out from Tottenville at O'Clock.
Smith had left on the train before.
Henry Morehouse. Of Chelsea
street, Raritan Bay, was one of the
first TO reach Smith after his machine
had come down. lie was at his home
when he saw the aviator circle over
the bungalow section Of Raritan Bay
Park several times and knew that
something was the matter.
Morehouse, who was joined by sew
eral OF the men from Peters hotel,
assisted the aviator in getting the
mail from the machine to the auto
mobile OF j. i. Peters, Jr, OF S4l
Brighton street, who brought II to the
postoffice at Tottenvilie. Smith was
flying low over the bay and was about
$50 feet up when IL fell. He left
Washington at noon.
A stop was made AT Philadelphia
for the mail there and the trip was
continued without mishap until he
was passing over the bay. A strong
head wind was blowing at the time

TESTING GUNS
IS NOISY WORK
Big a. Inch Babies" Firing at
Sandy Hook Cause Alarm
Among People Here

The testing OF fourteen inch guns
at the government proving ground a
Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook has caused
numerous explosions which have been
heard in this city yesterday and to-
day.
This was affirmed by the adjutant
at the fort this morning. While in
conversation with him at the fort, the
distinct report of one of the guns was
heard over the wire.
The explosions have caused con-
siderable speculation and not a little
worry here. Police headquarters and
the EVENING NEWS office have been
besieged with queries as TO the cause.
The tremendous force and carrying
power of the detonation OF fourteen
inch shells can be imagined when il is
realized that both today and yester-
day a strong northwest and norther-
ly wind has blown, here. in a direct
ly opposite direction from the fort
The adjutant said that the firing
was continuing and could not say
when IL would cease.
Atlantic Highlands and places in the
vicinity of the fort are experiencing
results similar TO those in this city at
the time OF the Morgan explosion as
the firing breaks windows in that
place with tiresome regularity when
the guns at the fort are tested.

DE VOE MEASURE
FOR ERECTION
Of HOSPITAL
If Passed County Will Have
Anti tuberculosis Institution
of Its Own

A bill introduced in the State House
yesterday by Assemblyman Fred w.
DeVoe, of Middlesex, will, If passed,
an anti-tuberculosis hospital in this
county. The bill calls for the issu-
ance of bonds not to exceed two
tenths Of one per cent. of the average
assessed valuation of the county, in
accordance with the law Of 1916, and
applies only to counties of the second
class and those in which land for the
erection of a tuberculosis hospital is
already owned.
A proposed bill was drawn up by
the New Jersey Anti-Tuberculosis
League, which has been carrying on
agitation for the erection of a hospi-
tai for tuberculosis victims in this
county, but Assemblyman DeVoe
made two changes before introduce
ing it. The original bill affected any
county, the assemblyman changing 1t
SO that only second class counties
would be affected. The leagues pro-
posed bill made no provision concern
Ing the possession of land upon which
the hospital was to be erected: As
Bemblyman DeVoe added a clause
which makes it necessary for a coun-
ty to already own the property upon
which the building is to be erected.
The freeholders, who have gone on
record as favoring the erection of this
hospital differ from the State Anti
Tuberculosis League, as to the man.
ner In which the necessary funds
should be raised. The freeholders are
in favor of a bond issue. and sthe
league suggests direct taxation.
Assemblyman De Voc, in speaking
of the bill, declared that he wanted
the freeholders and the Anti-Tuber-
culosis League to get together on this
matter in order that he might have
the full support of both bodies in put,
ting through the bill. II believe 1t
will be hard to get this bill out of the
judiciary committee" the assembly
man declared when questioned about
the possibilities OF ats chances to be
I 1assed.
In a letter to the league Mr. De
Voc states that he "is an innocent
third party, ready and willing to help
the worthy cause to the best of my
ability, but the question of a bond is
sue or direct taxation is not for me
10 decide
The county, which has now issued
bonds to its full limit now. owns a site
In Raritan township upon which the
proposed hospital might be erected.

SHOWS BENEFIT
+. Of EDUCATION
Many Members at Forum Hear
Fine Address by Prof. MaybiII
at Noon Today

The benefit OF an education both
to the scholar and the community as
well as TO the business man was
brought out in the address. The
Public School as a Business Asset"
at the third forum of the Board of
Trade in Walters Restaurant at noon
today. by Professor A. T.. Kraybill,
city superintendent of schools at As
bury Park. Other speakers were H.
A. Groesbeck, National Field Scout
Commissioner, and Adrian Lyon,
chairman of the Victory Liberty Loan
committee.
The forum opened with a prayer
by Rev. VILLAIN II. Bawden, pastor
OF the Baptist church, who was call
Dubois of the Board of Trade, chair
man of the forum. This was follow
ed by the luncheon, after which Miss
Lucy V. Hilton, the daughter OF Sec
retary Fred l.. Hilton, sang Garry
Me Back TO Old Virginny" She was
accompanied with the piano by c. S.
Audsley. a high school student.
Professor Hraybill. proved by the
use of figures, just how the educated
man is an asset TO the community as
well as to the business interests. He
showed how a scholar that stays out
OF school for less than 50 a day Is
losing money. This is brought about
through the money he will lose in his
future life il he or she neglects their
education. The difference i'm the
amount of what a high school student
will earn in their life time and that
earned by the unedueated person is
shown by Professor Kraybnl by the
fact that the laboTer earns during his
life time $40, 600, while i'm the lives of
the high school student they earn just
double that amount, or $4,000.
He showed how in Brooklyn one
group OF boys left school at fourteen
years OF age, while another group OF
boys left school when eighteen years
old. AT the age OF twenty-five the
first group was earning on an average
OF ssSS per year, while the second
group which had stayed in school but
a few years longer. were earning ST.
$50. on the average per year. out or
