Sound Waves to Measure
Hole in Pacific Floor

AN FRANCISCO, Nov. 49,
Preparations are being made
aboard two United States de-
stroyers here for an extensive tour
to chart the Pacihc's bottom with
new type OF sounding device which
operates on the principle Of the
speed of sound. A sound is sent
from the apparatus to the bottom
OF the ocean and echoes back TO
the ship. The elapsed time is a
measure OF depth.
BY this method an attempt will
be made TO ascertain the depth OF
Neros Deep in the south Pacific,
a hole In the floor of the ocean
believed by many to be the OPEN
ing OF tunnel connecting the In
dian and the Pacific oceans. The
Deep has frustrated the efforts OF
$4,000 fathoms of cable to reach It's
bottom.

Cause of Republican L osses.

William Dudley Foulke, vice-president
OF the National Civil Service Reform
League, Is authority for the statement
that scandals resulting from spoils APP
pointments in the prohibition enforce
ment unit were the principal cause OF
Republican losses in the last election.
In an interview Mr. Foulke said:
THE one thing that contributed most
effectively TO the Republican defeat,
especially In the East. wac the universal
disgust OF everybody with the abom-
Unable corruption and inefhciency Of
those charged with the enforcement of
prohibition. This was tho result OF
making all these places mere political
spoils.
THE volstead act kept them out OF
the competitive civil service and they
became the mere plumber Of Congress
men. Many OF these Congressman
recommended men urged upon them by
bootlegger constituents. and thus the
service has become permeated from top

tions ON the part of Commissioners

mtigated scoundrels as ever trod the

Workers To Hold
Summer School
Courses in Leadership and Com
munity Service to be Held
In Chicago July 1921.
(Associated Negro Press

Chicago, H., May 25-Community
Service, Inc. is to hold a Training
School for Colored Workers who are
rendering service locally in connec-
tion with community programs ana
community centers for colored people.
This training school will be held in
Chicago, July 10th through July 21st.
Their past experience leads them TO
believe that these schools are valu-
able not only TO individuals who at
tend, but to indirectly help in the
development of the work in the var
ious communities where such work
ers are employed.
The course includes not only train
ing for leadership in social recrea-
tion, play and games. community mu-
sic, dramatics and pageantry, but al
ministration and financing of COM
munity recreational programs, play
grounds and community centers.
There is a great opportunity for
congenial employment to those VIII"
receive the training. While no posi-
tive assurance TO those who take the
course that immediate employment
will be offered. or can be given. such
persons would largely merit recon-
mendation TO the increasing number
of positions which are to be filled
through community service personnel
bureaus whose recommendations are
usually accepted in a great number
of cities. In fact. the demand for
trained worker thus far exceeds those
who have taken the training and
have acceptable recommendations as
10 qualifications. The compensation
in the recreational field for communi-
ty workers compares favorable to
other social or educational service
salaries.

MAN INJURED
At So. AMbOY
Hit by Flying Journal Box
Cover and Painfully Hurt
Taken to Hospital

SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. 14-While
at work yesterday with the Penn
sylvania. railroad section gang James
Piscatelli was struck with great
force from a flying journal cover
and knocked to the ground.
1t appears that Piscatelli was
working with a number of other
men on the westbound track near
the South Amboy terra Gotta when
express train No. 712 on the east
bound track passed through. The
pin holding the journal cover had
become loosened and as the train
rushed by the lid struck the railroad
tie and rebounded and also struck
the shovels of two of the other men
before it finally struck Piscatelli in
the chest. knocking him down.
Foreman NJ. j. Hussey assisted by
others helped him on board a hand
car which took him to the station
where DR.. f. II. Eulner was called
and gave the necessary attention.
From there he was brought to the
South "mboy hospital by James
Rea. 1t was announced last night
that Piscatelli suffered no internal
injuries although severe pain was
experienced.
Piscatelli, whose home is in High
land street, has been very unfortun-
ate recently, as only a few months
ago his home caught fire twice, the
last time almost burning to the
ground.
