ORDER NEW » HOMES TO BE 1 ASSESSED MUNICIPAL, BODIES WANT TO TEST BUILDING EXEMPTION jA LAW. STATE BOARD ACTS. Exemption from taxation for a pe- j riod of five- years of new dwellings j erected between October, 1920, 9nU j ( October, 1922, as provided by a spe- j ^ cial law passed by the State legis- ; w lature in an effort to remedy serious j bousing conditions in , the State will j ^ become an issue before county and p State tax boards as the result of the 1: action of some of the municipal a bodies in directing the local assessore to assess these new properties ^ and let the owners make appeals. B Such appeals would by 'their regular course come before county tax ^ boards and from them would pass to ^ the State tax board- In this man- n ner it is believed that a test case would be ultimately made of the law, ^ which thus exempts millions of dol- ; j lars of new property i* the State at j c a period when other property own- ^ ers are carrying an extremely heavy p burden of taxation- s The Pitman borough council has di- c rected a communication to Assessor William F. Filer, asking him to, in- ^ elude all new properties in his asses- ^ ments for 1922.. It is estimated ^ that fifty new houses have been built here this year, or are now in the course of erection, so that the difference in valuations, if exemptions are not to be allowed, would exceed $100,- ^ 000 out of" a total property valuation in the borough of $3, 000,000. Local officials have been informed e that Camden city will assess all new c properties and let the owneres appeal, and that several other mupic- . ipalities in §6uth Jersey will do like- 1 wise. Assessors received directions from J the State board to make exemptions j upon new dwAjl lings erected within the prescribed period, as provided by { the special legislative act, on the £ grounds that it stands as a law, even ( if considered a bad one in some ' quartersfi and tax officials must so ' observe it until the law is either re- J 1 voked or declared invalid by the j ' courts.

VOCATIONAL INSTRUCTORS ON INSPECTION TRIP ARRANGED BY PROF. H. O. SARAPSON AS SPECfAL FEAJITRE OF VOCATIONAL' STATE CONFERENCE * The i instructors were divided into groups- One left New Brunswick for New York, Thursday, at 7-30 J>. M„ the other at 11.30- The were brought together in the Pennsylvania Terminal, N". Y., about 12.30- Before leaving here they had a' midnight lunch. At 1-00 A. M- Friday, cars were taken for the ' Sheffield Milk Plant of Brooklyn- . On entering this plant, one was g compelled to notice the cleanliness of I plant first; second, the size and jj method of operation- » 3 The size may best be made clear jj by stating the milk output is 28,000 > 40-gallon cans per day- We were conducted through the plant by a guide who explained many interestparts, some of which were the can inspection, metlyds of washing the pasteurizing of the^ milk and bottling the same. From the time milk entered the plant' in the cans and passed through the process of cooling, pasteurizing, bottling and crating reatjy for delivery it had been , on the move for one hourLeaving here we went back to the Washington Vegetable Market of N. Y-, arriving at 3, A- M- Here we saw truck after truck load of vegetables either being unloaded or awaiting the opportunity to^be. • One would think that we saw suf-' ficient produce to ^ed Eastern U. 8., instead of New T?ork. While here we visited the docks, where we saw how produce was brought .in by the train load- The floats« or lighters held from six to eight cars each- The docks were of sufficient lenghth to permit sixteen . to stand on either side, or thiryt-two cars to one dock. Now think of several such docks, then yov may have' a broader view of the produce necessary to feed one U. S- city. Leaving N. Y- at 5 o'clock we were i speeded through the Hutlson tunnel for the Newark market- Here one was amazed at the vastness of the produce and the army of men required to handle the same .for the city consumer. AH this part of the work in operation during the early , morning hours while the fortunate consumer slept and dreamed of the world's ease and pleasure. After breakfast we visited the fruit markets *»f New York. This . f market is handled differently from many others. Here the buyer in- ( spects the fruit, decides what he wants- He then places on a preptn-<, ed' sheet his purchasing figures for anything he desires to buy. Front , here he goes to the auction room and bids for the articles as one would at a public auction. At 10 A. M- we visited' Mapes Comi mission House. This 'house handles butter and N-' J- Poultry Producers' Association eggs- Here we saw how the purchaser inspected butter, buying that best suited to his trade. We saw how eggs were candled and • graded for market. The next visit was the New York 1 Mercantile Exchange at which place butter and eggs were -being sold. : Eggs were sold in various quantities from 50 packages to carload lots. It was very interesting and instructiveAt 11,30 our last visit was made .at the North American Fruit Grow= ers' Exchange. We were royally entertained here ti.ll after 1 o'clock. The officers of -the exchange explained the methods they used in buying and selling produced over the U. S. They handled in two instances large ' quantities, one" being 2300 carloads of potatoes for Minnesota one month, and another 1600 carloads of watermelons for Georgja. Thgse are quoted to show the vastness ' of their business. R. E?" REEVES, Instructor. CIVIC CLUB TO ELECT OFFICERS The nominating comqiittee of the Women's Civic -Club, " -composed of Mrs- W. R. Sheppard, chairman, Miss Jennie Hanes. Mrs- Charles Campbell,' Mrs- Albert Phillips - and Mrs. Fred Tompkins, have selected three candidates for each of the following . offices: President,. 1st vice president, 2nd vice president, recording secretary, corresponding secretary - and treasurer. The election will take , -place Tuesday, November 29th, at 230 P- M., in the Progressive League Club HouseCome and bri^g your friends.

!' Take ARCOLA as a Gift-from your Heating Engineer We mean it — a gift.' Your Heating Engineer will tell ^ you that three average winters will pay back its cost to you in the fuel it saves. And think of the satisfaction of having every room warmed by its own American Radiator — the same' kind of radiators that warm the White House itself. vThink of the joy of having all the hot water you want for washing or bathing, for ARCOLA can heat the kitchen tank, too, without subtracting from the warmth of the house. Surely all this comfort is worth the little trouble of telephoning your Heating Engineer. He will gladly call and make an estimate. You will be surprised to learn how little ARCOLA costs end how quickly it can be installed. Don't go through another winter bathing end dressing and eating in chilly rooms. Take a little comfort out of life— especially 1 comfort that pays its own way. ^ Take ^ ARCOLA from your -Heating Engineer— take it as his. gift "V - l

The red and yellow card at the right is the sign of a Heating or Sanitary -Engineer (you used to call him Steamfitter or Plumber) who can show you Arcola. Look for it in his window. It will pay you to consult him twice a year as you do your Doctor or Dentist. His report on your heating and plumbing costs little. It may save much.

513HS3 The Story of a London School Boy Who Stumbled Upon the Secret of Making Dye# from Coal Tar (Toid In Eight 8ketch««) By JOHN RAYMOND No. II 1 POETS OF SCIENCE

William Henry Perkin was an. odd | sort of a youngster. When he was 13 I years old and a student in the City of • London School he heard of a series of t lectures on chemistry during the nOon i recess- Young William Henry de- t cided that the -lectures would be of s more value to him than his lunches, so he took in the lectures. Apparently the' lectures made a de- : cided impression upon the boy. Two years later he entered the laboratory . of a chemist named Hofman in the : Royal College of London and by the time he was 17, had started upon his career as a researcher. Perkin decided < ■ that his missiop iq life was to isolate 1 phen'enthrene from coal tar and pre- i pare" artificial quinine. In order to « speed the day when his task would be | done he set up a private laboratory and ; worked overtime. While at work in this laboratory in the, spring of 1850, he found in his test-tube, while oxidizing some aniline oil, a black, sticky-, mass instead of clear crystals. He attempted to wash it out with alcohol when,- to his surprise, he produced a wonderful purple solutioq— mauve, the first of the aniline dyes. Ten years later Perkin achieved his greatest triumph when he produced alizarin, or Turkey red, formerly made .only from the root of the madder. Years later the British government knighted the man vy.ho first discovered the vast_ possibilities contained y with coal tar but gave him little financial support or encouragement. It was left to Genffan researchers to build up the industry and finally to <» etnnslii hold upon the trade -a hold SO "firm

of the rose, the explosive - that wounds and .the medicine that heals, the bitterness of hemlock and the sweetness of honey. In a recent address in Edinburgh the president of the Chemical Section of the British Association for the Advancement ' o f Science, urging the correlation of schotorrciauun ui stuv :

knowledge wun the experience* ' - and contacts Of daily life, said: 1 "The quivering glint-of massed blue- • bells in broken suiyhine. -tlje - joyous ' radiance of ydhng beech leaves against 1 the stately cedar, the_ perfume of the • hawthorne in the twilight, the florid, - majesty of rhododendroh. the fragrant ' simplicity of lilac, periodically gladden - the hiost careless heart and the least , 1 reverent spirit: but to the chemist they 1 breathe an added message, the assure ance that a new season of refreshment has dawned upon the world, and 'that, ■j those delicate syntheses, into the mys- " tcry of which it is his happy privilege . Y to penetrate, once again are working " their inimitable -miracles in the labora- " tory of the human organism." T Poetry, indeed! But chemists are practical poets. They ' produce the ' materials a nation must have if it „ hopes to live and compete with other ° nations. Few nations realized " this. ° trutL however,- until the World War offered convincing proof by opening ",100 percent explosive and closing 55 ' percent chemical: That opened their u eyes, but unfortunately, Germany had a fifty year start and took the trouble " to protect the advantage. ,r On January 1, 1916, seven leading dye companies of Germany formed a IS dye trust to Iqst fifty years with the >f idea of controlling the chemical busir.e ness of the world. During this period e they will maintain uniform prices, s" wages and hours of labor, and ejeri- change patents and trade secrets, id They will divide the foreign business a- on an even basis and share the profits.
