Meanwhile the Boring Sea fleet and its officers become the friend confidant, doctor and general utility man for the villagers of the Alaska peninsula and the arrival of one of these vessels at one ofthese far away points is regarded as one of the big events of the year. The vessels CO., operate with various other agencies of the government, commercial es- tablishments and transportation companies, at times provide trans portation for natives and govern ment officials, furnish medical ser vice and medicine, also perform sur gical operations where necessary.
 The Guard keeps up valuable vital statistics of all the Aleutian islands showing various cases treated, med ical assistance rendered by the diff ferent vessels entering Boring Sea, general statistics covering condi- tions in the villages and in fact a report of this section of Alaska which is the least known and the most rarely visited of any part of the Territory.
 In June, when passenger liners go through Unimak Pass into Bering sea the Coast Guard cutters are on hand to render assistance and one of these vessels is always among the first in the roadstead off Nome. Still later in the season they work north ward through Boring strait into the Arctic and there the entire summer is taken up in protecting the inter- ests of those living in that sparsely settled portion of Alaska. The swift cutters traverse it's waters and like the Red Cross, relieve the suffering and destitute of all classes.
 So, at this season of the year, when these vessels leave for the north each officer or man looks to the future days with eager antici- patton for there is no telling what romance or adventure might be en- countered in northern waters.- Railway and Marine News.

 Interesting talks favoring the Red Cross chapter opening a Health Center and appointing a Community nurse, were made by W. L. Gross. chairman of the Junior Red Cross auxiliary, Leonard NJ. Campbell, Judge Wm G. Thomas, Donald Sinclair, and W.L.Nevill. During the discussion, favorable comments were made by several others of the com mittee. When the matter came to a vote, it was carried almost unani- mously.
 Mrs. Grant, who is a graduate nurse with postgraduate work, en- joys the confidence of the commit nifty and is recognized as being thor oughly competent in her work. The committee feel highly gratified that they have secured her services. The Legion Hall will be used as a Health Center. The organization of the Health Center and the follow up work of the school children, which is following the physical in spection made recently, will occupy the greater part of Mrs. Grants 1 time until the end of the school l term.
 The action of the local chapter of the Red Cross in providing a com munity nurse for Wrangell, is a for ward looking movement which will be productive of far-reaching results in the health and well-being of the community.

see that such an institution was pos and that few began to do things, sible. So she got the few together and this won more friends to the cause and as a result we have all the good that has been accomplished through the club. The message from this part of Miss Woods life is the folly of lamenting because your re- sources are limited, but with conse- cration go ahead and work.
 Tt now needs to say a few words about her religious life. The high est type of Christianity is eminently sane. Are there types that are not? Are there not those who take their religion out in emotions? Are there lectual and take their life out in reasoning? In history, Calvin was one of those. Are there those who show their religion in elaborate forms and ceremonies? The ritualist is one of those. There are those who over-emphasize social service to the overlooking of worship. Many a modern Christian is of this order But with Miss Woods how different Did she believe in ritual Let every thing be done in order Did she be- leve in social service We have al ready shown that she proved her faith by her works. In religious mat ters she was a close reasoner, and she enjoyed her faith as real emo tionalist
 '"rhe great element in sanity is to hold to all parts of the truth and to keep each in it's proper place and Miss Woods did that Her religious life was eminently sane.
 "A word in closing. Our heroine in her early life passed through a trouble which would have weakened less strong life, and would have soured it against the world But this was to her the refining fire that made her a more wonderful charac- ter than ever.
 No one could come in contact with her without feeling better for having been with her. To know her prompted the most careless to say. Let us go with you for we know that God is with you
 so the memory of Miss Woods is. heritage which makes us believe. more in God and humanity. "

FIVE MILLION
GALLONS READY
Perth Amboy in Position to
Help Carteret industries
During Water Shortage
AID FOR WOODBRIDGE
In Same Way if Wanted.
Supt. Mason SayS-Great
Supply for Perth Amboy

CARTERET, July 23-An offer 10
supply 100000 gallons of water
from the Perth Amboy water shed
has been made by the Board of Wa
ter Commissioners of that city to
the Carteret Industrial Association
who has recently requested particu-
lars as to supply and surplus Of
water available for that territocy.
In his communication to II H. Hen
messy. secretary of the Carteret as
sociation the clerk advises that the
water department could supply some
five million gallons of water daily
at fifty pound pressure. The wa
ter would be available at the north
eriy limits of the city of Perth A m
boy.
The water commissioners also ad-
vised that they have a plant on tae
South river at Old Bridge which
will produce capacity of 5000 900
gallons daily. The plant has not
been put in operation. 1t is stated
Furthermore the board cites that
theysare considering the installation
of an iron and acid removal plant to
correct the undesirable condition of
water.
Superintendent S. j. Mason in dis
cussing the water situation declar I'd
this morning that none of the COM
munities in the nearby vicinity
should suffer on account of the wa
ter shortage. Carteret will be able
to escure the required amount of
water from Perth Amboy at an ex-
pen6iture of some $115,000 and tn IS
solve its future water problem. This
step il brought to immediate acti J1
by the leading plants of the boz
oIgh would also help the residential
parts of Woodbridge township. The
Perth Amboy Water Company, ac-
cording to Superintendent Mason
would furnish the water at a point
near Woodbridge creek. The lay
Ing of about $4,000 feet of pipe
through the lower level lands is all
that would be required. In the ST.
perintendent's opinion this sugges-
ton would not only by the most eco
nomical for Carteret and nearby
places but help the water problem
instantly.
Once a pipe line to Carteret is lad
several million gallons of watar
would be Immediately available for
the residential districts and all parts
OF Woodbridge township, Mr.. Mason
said and the problem of water for
some years to come would be ended.
Mr.. Mason believed that Carteret
VIZ tohc IiiS opportunity TO secure
the water they need, particularly
since the water commissioners have
finally decided to install the acid
removal plant which would facili-
tate the local plants to use the water
safely. The municipalities and
heads of the plants have stated on
previous occasions shat they would
avail themselves of Perth Amboy
when the acid-proof plant has been
constructed.

street. South River, are in the South
Amboy hospital suffering from

Dor, leads through the new devel-
opment going on at that place and

angle turn, the side of the road
being on the edge OF an embank-
ment probably twenty feet deep.
According to the report of the ac-
cident given out by the state police
today, Wolotkay. driving a touring
car over the road at a rapid rate
while under the influence of liquor,
failed to take the turn after he had
crossed the bridge and the car with
it's passengers crashed down the en-
bankment over turning on the occu-
pants. When the sta police arrived
at the scene they marveled that no
one had been killed and arrested
Walotkay at once on the charge of
being intoxicated and driving without
license.
He was taken to the police head
quarters at Morgan, where Justice of
the Peace Rosselott. of New Bruins
wick, held court and upon pleading
guilty of the charges against him
was fined $40 on +'.e charge of driv-
ing without a license and sentenced
to six months in the workhouse for
driving while intoxicated.
OF the passengers in the can the
women were the most seriously in
jured. Mrs. Josephine WoicichowslIi
received a fractured shoulder and
Mrs. Sophie Michalowski fractured
ankle. Both women are still at the
hospital.
John Wojcickowzki received la
cerations of the face and shaking
up. All the injured were attended
by DR.. j. Francis Weber. The state
police who made the arrest and
took care of the injured were
Trooper Kelley and Trooper Pfaff.

molished was towed to Deegan's
garage this city.
