the Government amounting to $70,-
S77,266.58 were made.

The suits filed involve almost every
possible claim that can be made

Two Men Killed
At Railroad Crossing

Two men were instantly killed at Allen
wood early Saturday evening when a
westbound Pennsylvania express struck
an automobile delivery truck at the
llenWood-Lakewood grade crossing.
he men, William Birdsall, about
SO, Of Ba'leys Corner, and Clarence H
Newman, about As, of Alenwood, were
employed by n. r.. Feimster, local
rgain dealer, in whose truck they were
riding whenl they meet death. Feimster
was witness to9the tragedy.
According to Feimster, the two men
were returning from their last de-
livery. His establishment is near the
crossing where the accident occurred
and he was waiting for them to re-
turn He said the engineer of the
train sounded the whistle but mo-
ment before the crash.
There is a bell signal, as well as a
red light at the crossing, but Feim-
ster was unable to state whether
either was working at the time of the
crash.
The train did not stop at the al
lenwood station, which is ahcut 5
yards east Of the crossing. The
truck was carried about 400 yards.
and demolished Birdsall was carried
about 20 yards, and Newman about
so feet. Boih were dead when the
crew of the train, which stopped
within a few hundred yards, returned
to the scene of the crash.
Birdsall was not married He en-
tered the employ of Feimster this
fall the grain merchant said and was
considered careful driver. Newman
was married. He leves a wife and
two children. He had worked for
Feimster about two years, and also
was considered an efficient man, the
employer stated.
Feimster declared that he was not
certain which of the two men was
driving the car when they met their
death. He expressed the belief, how
ever, that Birdsall was at the wheel,
as he was considered the driver.
Hundreds from this vicinity and
many passing motorists gathered at
the scene of the crash within short
time after it occurred. None was able
to state whether the sgnels were
working and none could tell whether
the driver of the car tried to beat the
train orstalled on the tracks.
Newman's body was removed to
the undertaking establishment Of
Undertaken G. a. T. Clayton at Adel-
phia, and Birdsall's was taken to the
pa rlors of Director f. S. Jefferson in
NJ anasquan.S County Physician H. w.
Hartman was notified and issued
death certificates.
I The cowcatchar on the engine of
the express was badly battered. 1t
was delayed considerably and did
not arrive at Freehold until 7.15
about an hour and half behind its
scheduled time The engineer stop
ped at the garage Of Louis Colaner
on Throckmorton street and the
railroad, and men from the
garage removed the scowcatcher, be-
| ing compelled to use acetylene
torch.

SCIENCE ASKS WHAT
MAKES BABY GURGL G
Picked Group to Be Studied
in Ideal Home.


New York--In all the thousands Of
years that fathers and mothers have
watched their children they have
never explained how a gurgling baby
masters the sounds that make up hui
man speech. They have never under
stood the mysterious process by which
one baby blossoms out into social
sort OF person liking everybody, while
another becomes shy child. that
clings only to a few trusted relatives.
They have studied and loved and
worried over their children, but even
In a flourishing family of u the par
ents could not tell you in what man
ner each child's development was be-
ing shaped by factors Of heredity or
environment
Plan TO Observe Closely.
A systematic attempt to supply
some Of the missing information about
hurns4 development In normal home
is 70 be started by three specialists in
child research here. 1t has just been
announced DR.. Mary Cover Jones,
Miss Edith M Burdick. a. graduate
nurse. and DR.. Harold E. Jones, as
ststant professor of psychology at Co
lumbia university, are arranging to
assume the care of group Of nor
NAL and superior children, under con-
ditions as nearly ideal as possible.
The children may in this way bo OBJ
served both day and night, as In an
ordinary household. A wide assert
ment of scientific records of the physi-
cal, mental and emotional develops
inent of the children win be made.
The number Of babies to be OBJ
served will be small, in order that con-
ditions may be kept like those In a
real home rather than an institution.
The group Is expected to consist Of
six, two of them the young children
of Doctor and Mrs Jones. The child
personnel Of the home has not been
finally completed, Doctor Jones said.
Some are being obtained from par
ents who are contributing toward the
chiId's maintenance, while others arr
obtained from charitable organiza-
TONS -
The three specific aims Of the prof.
ect, according to Doctor Jones, ara
the study Of human development in q
controlled superior environment; the
determination Of the best methods OF
handling children of nursery age, and
the educational ends to be achieved
In the interest of the children them
selves.
Secure Special Housing.
A home for the babies has been
purchased In New York, and financial
arrangements for the project have
been made, so that the experiment
may be continued for at least the next
three years.
Plans are being developed by the
psychologists whereby individual
mothers and institutions throughout
the country can cooperate and in re-
turn receive reports on the expert
mental findings.
The Importance of establishing al
home in which large group of nor-
NAL children might be observed from
infancy, in order that complete rec-
ards of their behavior could be made
was stressed several years ago by DIR.
John Watson, well-known psycholo-
gist Of this city. The project just
started is, in some respects, the first
approach toward a realization Of this
proposal, Doctor Jones said.
