The men and women who have
benefited society most in the world
are not necessarily those who have
lmassed the largest fortunes.
Money is very useful agency for
doing good but too many who devote
their entire lives 20 accommodating it
never use it for the rehef of human
lily or the GLORY of God.

FIRST EMERGENCY : TRIAL

For the first time since the wireless
became an instrument of communica-

an opportunity during the Hoboken
pier fire last night to perform n real
service in an emergency. Over the in
struments located high up in the

tho Hoboken police and Inspector
James w. Hallock, who was on the
patrol. Inspector Hallock in turn had
the messages. some of them vital,
megaphoned from the patrol to the
fireboats Strong, New Yorker and
Duane.
While the fire was still beyond con-
troll and the Hoboken firemen were
trying to hold it in check from points
several hundred feet from the piers. the
water pressure suddenly gave out and
the engines were unable to throw the
powerful streams that were needed.
The flames began to creep back to-
ward the city and for few minutes
the firemen were at loss. There was
no way OF getting word out to the
New York flreboats that they were
needed inshore to operate as pumping
stations for land lines. Some one
thought OF the wireless set at New
York Police Headquarters and the Ho-
boken police department quickly COM
