MORE FIRE-PREVENTION WORK
PREDICTED BY CHIEF WATSON

He Says.
Fifty Men Now Make Daily
Inspections of Buildings
in Capital.

Holding to the theory that nearly
all fires are preventable, Fire Chief
George Watson believes that az time
goes on the Fire Department will turn
its attention more and more to the
business of eliminating sources or
fire. as we'll as putting out those that
occur.

That is the spectacular side of the

believes IN complete preparedness for
fire fighting. The District department,
however, has been placing more en-
phasis than formerly on the less
dramatic task of preventing fires

The busy crowds in the street never

tons that cause fires and taking steps
to correct them.
There has always been a small in

Watson greatly extended this proven

TWELVE HOUR DAY; LOW WAGES is The LOT OF
NURSES In THE HOSPITALS OF new YORK CITY

The hospitals in New York City
employ several thousand nurses.
Here is an industry-and such it
may be called-right here in our own
city;-not in Passaic, not in the mine
districts, not in the textile industries
of the south;-but right here iii the
greatest and richest metropolis in the
world; where women are exploited an
average of 72 hours a week for an
average of, a little. more than $40
week. Taking into consideration the
fact that the work of the women in
this industry is of a highly special
lied nature, one cannot help but gasp
at the fact that some form of en-
ployee organization, for betterment
Of conditions, has as yet not been at
tempted.
These nurses, before they can OBJ
tain a state license to practice and
earn the munificent sum of about $50
a month, have to go thru severe
training period in which they do the
most arduous and mental of tasks
from II to ID hours a day-for a
wage ranging from SID to $40 a
month, including room and board.
About the board" we shall see later.
12-Hour Day.
The licensed, graduate nurse works
II hours day, from seven to seven.
If she has day shift, it is some
where stipulated that she be allowed
two hours off during the day. In the
five years experience that one of the
writer's of this article has had prac-
ticing in most of the city hospitals,
she can recall never having been
given so much as even a consecutive
half hour of leisure during the day.
If the nurse is on night shift she is
supposed to work right thru from
seven to seven without any relief.

introduced into the evidence the fact
that GODDARD in the Sacco-Vanzett
case botched his testimony so badly
that the Governors commission, anx-
ious to convict, was not able to use
the evidence and ignored him alto
gether.
Moreover, the defense was able tc
show that GODDARD had mangled an
other case in Cleveland, where he
identified suspects gun as the one
firing mortal bullet, and proof was
afterwards made that the gun was
sold after the shooting took place.
Two More Fail State.
Mrs. Julia Brown was called on the
stand to identify Meltzer as a man
seen near the scene Of the shooting
but refused to de so. John Kern, a
taxi driver, was asked by the prose.
cutor TO identify Meltzer as man
who entered the Evans taxicab, but
he stated that he could not do it.
Defense Alibi Offered.
The defense opened with a state
ment by Attorney Geo. E. Cutley that
Meltzer would prove an alibi. At the
time of the shooting of the scab, said
Cutley, Meltzer was at his home, 342
Pine St., Long Branch. He showed by
the records that the police of Jersey
City ran wild after the shooting, and
arrested fifteen different people,
charging them with the crime one
after the other, and finally let four
teen of them go, holding only Meltzer.
Attacks Woman.
The first witness for the defense
was Meltzer's sister, Lillian, who tes-
titled that the boy lived with herself
and her mother, and the witnesses
infant daughter. She is divorced. On
the night of the murder both the wit
ness and Meltzer were awake nursing
the child, which was i'll, until two
O'Clock, and then fell asleep in the
same room.
The district attorney raised the
anger Of spectators in the court room
by making insinuations of bad char
acter against Meltzer's sister, accus-
ing her of going to resorts" and of
posing as Russian countess while
in Florida (Which state Lillian Meltzer
left when ten years of age) and by
inquiring into all details of her
divorce from her husband.

and the sun is bright; when the sky

are singing at their housekeeping;
when the wild flowers sprinkle the
forest floor; when you feel lazy and
you want something and you don't
exactly know what it is you want
then, boys and girls, the chances are
you want to go fishing, whether or
not you know it.
Oldtime fishermen call it the fish
ing fever. When their thoughts be-
gin to center on their favorite pool
or their best loved lake, when they
take out their fishing rods and go over
them inch by inch, when they test
their fishing lines, and empty out
