Albert Schneider to Open
Public Market in Union City

Albert Schneider, well known citi-
zen and real estate broker of Union
City will open his home city's first
public market on Nov. at 283 Bergen

provisions under one roof
The public market idea has been
highly successful in other cities and
its success in Union City is beyond
question.

Higher Education.

A 20-story skyscraper located in
the middle Of the old Yale campus is
the latest proposal of college authori-
ties to meet the problems OF expan-
sion at Yale. To the Yale graduate Of

something of a shock.

Jones of Yale College explains. would
be included classrooms. living quar-
tiers, dining rooms, Libraries and SWIM
ming pools. The old buildings and the
fence" dear to the memory of Yale
alumni, would remain unchanged.
But the proposed structure would
tower high above the college. bringing
a new atmosphere into the college, the
atmosphere of modern city life, with
its huge apartment houses and its
mountainous Office buildings.
While it might add In efficiency and
convenience Of the administration Of

Yale of today is a vastly different

twenty-five years ago. 1t must be 80,
since Yale must either advance or

It is estimated, 100000 fowls in
this country, and If they were to walk

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, d. d,
Bishop OF Washington

Frequently in the course OF every
mans life occasions arise that call for
swift and certain decision. These
conditions begin with the youth in the
classroom and continue throughout all
the subsequent periods Of his life.
Principles or ideals should not be
made the sport of circumstances nor
should they be qualified or compro-
missed by environing conditions. 1t
takes courage to Withstand customs
and usages that by popular favor are
widely practiced and that are inimical
to Christian ideals and purposes. The
breaking down of wholesome conven-
lions. however widely sustained by
popular favor, is no valid reason for
abandoning deep and vital religious
convictions. Convictions that cannot
stand the urgent pressure OF ctrcum-
stances. however persistent they may
be, are valueless and useless.
Modern Indifference.
We are witnessing today In certain
phases OF our social life an indiffer-
ence to fundamental moral and Chris
tan convictions that threatens the
very foundations of our domestic and
social order. If the Christian homes
of our people, for the sake Of being
modern. are willing to yield the fine
things Of home discipline and to relax
those reasonable restraints that con-
tribute to the moral wellbeing of
youth, we shall presently witness such
an orgy of dissipation as we have sell
dom known. The very fact that
Juvenile crime is on the increase IS a
witness to invading influences that,
for the while, have impaired our sense
of moral obligation. To enjoy the
pleasures OF sin for season" seems
to be the ruling passion Of the hour.
1t is not merely "a question OF an UNI
governed and ungovernable youth
movement, but rather one that
reaches those who, by reason OF their
years and experience. should know
the penalty which unrestrained pleas.
ures and indulgences inevitably lead
to.
II the high things of our Christian
character are worthy and indtspen-
sable, then they should call for our
defense Of them at any cost. 1t Is a
mighty cheap thing to express In
glowing terms deep religious convic-
tons. where the habits and practices
Of life run counter to the profession
Of the lips. Against hypocrisy Jesus
registered his sweeping condemnation.
Nothing that fell from his lips was
sterner than what he said to those
who professed much and did little.
II our modern world is to get any
inspiration or encouragement from our
Christian institutions, it must be
through those who. like the great
leader Of old, are willing to lose favor
and, IL need be, to forego popularity IN
order that they may demonstrate to
the world the value and supreme i'm
portance Of their Christian convic-

was before the war.
During the five years ending in 1913
European countries together absorbed
on an average 95 per cent of the
cotton exports of the United states,
but this percentage has now dropped
to about 81, Japan's increased demand
being largely responsible for the
change. England's has dropped from
an average Of about IL per cent to %
per cent, and Germany's from % to
% per cent. Japan's increase was
from 8 to II per cent.
In bales, England. or the United
Kingdom, took 2,584,240 last year,
Germany 1,s4o.ss6 and Japan s2s, 6S4.
In 1s24-25 the United States con-
stunned 43 per cent of its entire cotton
crop, and for the last five years the
average domestic consumption has
been so per cent. as contrasted with a
81 per cent average prior to the war.
Average production during the post
war period has declined by IA per cent
and the yields per acre by 90 per
cent from the pre-war level, while the
price has advanced 81 per cent above
the pre-war basis. More acreage is
now devoted to cotton growing, the
area picked in 1e24-25 being 1880, 900
acres. as compared with a pre-war

ing OF In yield per acre was from a
pre-war average Of 1881 pounds to
1874 pounds last year.
The change in price is reflected in
the average spot price Of middling
upland cotton at New Orleans, which
averaged 1887 cents per pound during
190S-09 to 1928, and 2239 cents dur
ing 1920-21 to 1924-25. The highest
price was realized by the American
grower In 1s23-24-3o.33 cents. Last
year the price was slightly under the
postwar average. or 21.21 cents.
1t Is pointed out as significant by
Mr.. Skliar that while the domestic
consumption Of cotton has shown q
substantial increase during the last
Ave years there has also been q very
great increase in the use Of silk and
rayon in the manufacture of the finer
fabrics for women's wearing apparel.
The estimated consumption Of rayon,
for example, Jumped from 3.S7I 900
pounds In 1918 to about II 1000 900
pounds In 1924, and imports Of raw
silk increased from $4,000. 900 pounds
to 100000 pounds.

The Shenandoah Inquiry.
he Shenandoah befor,

Survivors of the Shenandoah before
the naval court Of inquiry at Lake
hurst are Offering widely varying
testimony relative to the cause Of the
disaster. Some say the engines failed;
others that the gas cells were unduly
Debated; still another theory advanced
is that the structure was weak.
Out of this conflict of evidence the
court may find the facts. 1t may be
able to deduce the precise cause Of the
collapse which destroyed this great
airship and cost the lives Of fourteen
men. But there Is unquestionably one
fact that will stand out clearly in the
final analysis of the matter, and that
is that the Shenandoah, whatever
may have been any specific weakness
or flaw. or fault Of management, was
unable to Withstand the stress Of wind
in the storm in which she was caught.
She may have been unable 10 endure
this stress without any particular
weakness Of structure, or motive
power, or fiotation device. Indeed,
there is no case on record Of a great
dirigible surviving such an onset.
Admittedly the dirigible Is limited by
the elements in It's range of action, as
is the airplane. A ship at sea has it's
limits also. Even the stoutest craft
may be wrecked by the waves, though
large modern vessels have a higher
range of endurance than earlier craft,
and wrecks in even the most furious
storms are extremely rare. In the air
all craft are susceptible to disablement
or destruction. So thoroughly is this
recognized that the phrase flying
weather" has come into use to signify
conditions in which aviation is safe.
There are conditions in which it is
positively unsafe, and no aircraft.
plane or dirigible. shoald ever be sent
or are imminent.
Eventually ships of the air, planes
or dirigibles, may be brought to the
point at which they can withstand
weather stresses as great as those
now endured by the stoutest, fleetest
seacraft. At present they are under a
handicap which must be recognized
and which must govern in their use.
The Shenandoah ran into q storm that
probably not the strongest or the best
handled dirigible could have survived.
1t was tossed about like a feather, and
driven upward many hundreds Of feet
and driven downward at great velOc-
ity. It was, in plain truth, out Of con-
troll.
The question in which the people Of
this country are more interested than
any other in this connection Is
whether precaution was supposedly
taken against running the Shenan.
doah into the danger zone Of possible
atmospheric violence. In view OF the
fact that such storms are not sporadic,
that they result from general condi-
tons affecting wide areas. it would
seem to have been unwtse to send the
ship ON her voyage toward such a
zone where storms OF this character
were probable. Unless the rule Of
flying weather" is to be disregarded
in order to test the endurance Of air
craft, 1t would seem that a fatal
chance was taken when the Shenan-
doah was sent forth on flight that
had no practical purpose, in the face
of the dangerous conditions, that
should have been known to exist.

Teaching Reading.

Reading. with ability to understand,
Is a great accomplishment. If there is
one service more than another public
schools ought to perform in a highly
effectual manner it is to teach how to
read.
From Chicago it was reported one
day this week that children Of the
schools there had Just been thrown in
competition with school children of st.
Louis and New York in the matter of
had made the best showing in the
contest. Chicago schools are to be
congratulated on the result.
1t Is rather the fashion of people
with children in the grade schools to
compare the schooling they had with
the schooling now, to the disparage-
ment of the present methods in what
are called the essentials" Most of
the parents, however, after gener-
aliZation or two usually find them
selves defeated in their contention that
after the present day methods are
fully explained. But there is one
point In which we think the old-timers
are still the winners, in spite Of all
that modern education can bring to
bear. We think reading was taught
more efectually in the old days.
Just what the Chicago method IL
which made 1t possible for the young
readers there to win in the contest we
do not know. There Is nothing in the
fact that they won to show that they
read particularly well. But, in the
large, we do not think pupils in the
grades. particularly the Junior high
school grades, read as we'll as they
ought, or as well as it is possible to
teach them. Here. again, we may be
wrong. Perhaps the school authors.
ties may be able to prove the con
trary, but we doubt It.
The present theory seems to be that
the child. while in school. provided he
is one who Is to leave at the compile
ton Of the eighth grade, should be.
come acquainted with a large list Of
good books. There is something In
that view, to be sure, but, on the 9th
err hand, it seems probable that the
pupil who Is taught to read accurately
and with full understanding of what
he does read is apt to go on reading
more than the pupil who has merely
slurred through q long array q
