bids ARE HIGH
At MATAWAN
Estimates for New School
$25, 900 Higher Than Ap-
preparation of $125,000

MATAWAN. June bids for
the construction of the new high
school in this borough were opened
at a meeting of the Matawan Town
ship Board of Education last night,
at which time it was found that the
lowest of the bidders was about
$4,000 higher than the appropria-
ton of $125,000. This e that
probably another election will be
held in which voters of the borough
md township will be asked to vote
| Tor an additional appropriation of
$4,000 in order to raise the money
necessary for the building which IS
xgreatly needed at the present time.
The figures as a whole We're good
To build the school properly the
contractors figured as low as posi-
BILE and these figures compared with
those for other new school buildings
bein built in surrounding munich
palities and counties were said to
be considerably lower. There is -
possibility that the plans for the
building may be revised so as to
COM within the appropriation. but
it Is pointed out that this would
be not only a detriment to the
building, but also work a hardship
on the scholars.
Tho voters must either vote for
,Ien additional appropriation of
u $4,000 so that the new school can
tbe built as planned or else face q
half day session next year for the
majority of the scholars as it Is
pointed out that 1t will be impossi-
BILE to continue the full time ses-
sionS under the crowded conditions
which the school is now laboring.
The base bids for the general
construction of the building follows:
George w. Mercer Construction
Company, s13S,0O0; j. N. Wester,
1924, COS; Thomas H. Flynn, $121,-
Amboy Construction Company,
$123,SO0.
Bids for the electrical work wera:
Buh' 81 Caffrey, $1,866; w. v. So
renson, $2,195; Aristides Neri. ST.
1876; Guth Electrical Company. ST.
912.S3; Robert l.. Elkan Electrical
Company, $1,79O.
Bids for heating and ventilating:
Burns, Lane & Richardson, $19,585;
e. G.. Britz Company, $4,000; Seel
&c Schwarz, o plus nine per cent,
George w. Stilwell. $4,000.
Plumbing: Burns, Lane & Rich
ardson, S7,120; Seel & Schwarz, $5,-
616.45; George w. Stilwell, 5000.
Taking these figures the lowest
bid Cor the construction of the
building amounted to $148, 330.45.
There were several substitutes
figured on in the bids and j. Noble

Amboy, who drew the plans for the
kchool will tabulate these and return

HARDING PLANS
HIS ADDRESS
"Busy" Sign Out This Week
at White House for
Presidents Trip

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE
busy" sign is out this week at the
White House offices for President
Harding is at work on the addresses
he will make on his western TRIP
starting next Wednesday.
The President hopes to nave an
OF the principal addresses he Will
make between here and the Pacidc
coast written before he leaves anu
to that end has limited his daily ca
gagements to two or three, ana
those only of the most pressing ma
ture. He also has eliminated the
daily respects" or the time set
apart to receive those who merely
wish to shake hands with him. Golf,
too, has been eliminated, although
in fact the President hasn't played
much golf in recent weeks and has
MT devoted a great deal of time to
it since he returned from his Florida
| trip-not as much as his physical
well being demands, according 70
| those who guard his physique.
With the daily appointments lin
tied to two or three and the other
demands on his time eliminated, Mr..
Harding has been able to get in
some hard licks' on the speeches
and it was said today at the White
House that the outlines of the prin-
cipal addresses had been completed.
The executive sometime ago began
collecting detailed information for
the addresses and with this before
him he has for several days been at
work on the speeches from about
eight o'clock in the morning until
ten or eleven o'clock at night, ex-
cept for time for meals and the
necessary appointments.
The plan being followed by the
executive in writing the speeches is
understood to contemplate treatment
of a single subject in each address,
For example, transportation proba-
bly, will be discussed in the Kansas
City speech, the second of the trip,
and the relation Of the government
to the farmer in the third address,
which will be made at Hutchinson,
Kas.
The topics will be selected to suit
the locality as nearly as possible,
the President believing that his aud
fence in Kansas City because of that
city being a large shipping center,
would be much interested in trans
portation, while those who hear him
in Hutchinson, the center of a rich
farming district, would like to know
his views on agriculture. Thus one
speech out in the West will be de-
voted to reclamation, another to the
tariff and so IN.

large groups Of students receive in

this course through Boy Scouts, Girl

RED CROSS MET TEST
IN JAPAN FUND DRIVE
Spirit of Service Demonstrated
In Readiness for Nation
+. wide Activity.

When President Coolidge by procla-
nation designated the American Red
cross as the medium through which
contributions for relief Of the Japan
a.s earthquake sufferers should flow,
the Presidents desire came as an or
dar TO the Red Cross. Immediately
the entire machinery Of the organiza-
ton Was put in motion and within "a
hours the fund campaign was moving
with vigor in every part Of the coun-
try.
This emergency test demonstrated
the peacetime readiness of the Red
Cross to cope with stupendous tasks
IA behalf of humanity. Within a
month 1t had collected upwards Of
1850, 900 in contributions, landed
ten cargoes Of supplies at japanese
ports and was keeping pace with re-
lief requirements-all without a SIN
xle dollar Of the fund being spent for
administration.
President Coolidge, IN expressing
his thanks to the people, said: when
the news Of the tragedy IN japan first
reached US, the American Red Cross,
pursuant to a proclamation, asked the
country for 100000 to meet the
great emergency. The answer to this
appeal was prompt and generous; in
less than two weeks sum far In ex-
cess Of the original goal was given"

RED CROSS ADVANCING
IN HEALTH CAMP AIGN
Extends Service to New Fields
and Brings Healing Hope to
Remote Sections.

1.-THE supreme opportunity for lead
ership" for the American Red Cross is
its health service. Thus committee
made up Of prominent physicians, san
itarians and public health experts,
after months of exhaustive study, re-
ported and urged that not only should
the Red Cross continue its present
service, but should undertake q
comprehensive educational campaign
along public health lines. The an
nual report Of the American Red
Cross, Just issued, discloses that II
has grasped this opportunity in the
fields Of public health nursing. In
struction In home hygiene and care Of
the sick, nutrition work, first aid to
the injured and in water life-saving.
Health service is fundamentally,
historically and practically an impor-
tant function of the Red Cross, and
each year marks its extension into
new fields and along broader lines. In
the Red Cross Nursing Service there
are enrolled nearly 10000 nurses, TO-
900 OF whom served during the World
War. The past year Red Cross nurses
were assigned to duty in isolated
sections OF Alaska and North Caro-
lima and to work among the fisher
men of Penobscot Bay, Me.
The Public Health Nursing Service,
inaugurated by the American Red
Cross in 1912, which operates chiefly
in rural sections untouched by other
public health agencies. has 1,03S Red
Cross nurses working under the d.
rection Of Chapters. This work has
won 80 high a regard that many OF
the nurses are taken over by the local
authorities to maintain health services
for their communities. Instruction IN
Home Hygiene and Care OF the SICK
is noting a steady advance. since
1914 certificates Of proficiency have
been given 904,427 women who COM
pleted the Red Cross course. In the
last year 26,595 certificates were
awarded and 65,901 students were I'M
der the instruction Of 1854 Red cross
nurses. ''-szs '--------' - : - :

tion in nutrition, reached more than
15o 900 children and adults. More
than $3.50 volunteers assisted IN tnl ms
work. Throughout the country S6,zSS
