FOR THE WORKING PEOPLE Organized Aid Society Takes Action on Fuel. Problem. HOPE OF SUPPLY AROUSED. Application to the Operators is Expected to Besnlt in a Shipment to the Society at Once. To Be Sold in Small Quantities.

Action upon the solution of the problem presented to it by the duration of the coal strike has been taken by the Organized Aid Association. The organization has succeeded in working out a plan of practical relief to such an extent that there are strong hopes of its ability to meet the almost dire conditions with means that will enable it to cope with the situation. Realizing the prospect of great suffering and sickness among the small wage earners in consequence of the continuation of the strike, the Association at a recent meeting appointed the President and the Secretary, Supt. Maxson and W. S.

Tyler, a committee to plan some way of relief. This committee has found that praotically no coal is to be had in town, and that the wood supply does not promise adequate relief very long. Great suffering is therefore inevitable unless householders and associations that have secured a supply are willing to give up a portion for those in need, or outside supplies can be procured at a reasonable price. In searching for an outside supply, the committee have gone direct to the producer and have presented the case with such success that they have strong hopes of receiving a consignment of a carload at an early date. If they are successful in this, arrangements will be made for its sale in buckets or very small lots at cost price, under the supervision of the association.

The aim will be to meet the needs of the small consumer, the family with no resources, and the charitable associations. There will be nothing of charity in the matter, since there seems at the present, time to be no lack of work, but only a lack of purchasable coal. The effort of the Organized Aid Association will be to furnish at cost what is now practically unattainable, to tide the people of small means along until coal is again in the market and thus prevent the suffering and sickness that must ensue unless some way of escape is provided for those who have no resources. SOCIAL FOR YOUNG WOMEN. Feminine Club Enjoys an Evening of Sociability Dancing, Ping-pong and Refreshments.

Town Improvement Association Makes Unusual Plans. TREES GIYEN TO THE CITY. A New Sidewalk Will Ee Laid on the Ar lington Avenue Side Where Sewer Men Dug Up for the 8ewer. At the annual meeting of the Town Improvement Association held yester day afternoon, the main topio of dis cussion was about the City Park at West Eighth street and Arlington avenue, which needs some work again. On account of the Arlington avenue sewer the sidewalk along that side of the Park has been torn up, and the Association decided to regrade and flag it.

A circle around the city fountain, which was recently placed in the Park, will be paved in order to keep the place dry, since the grass will not grow around it. The Association decided to top dress within the Park limits and offered several dead trees to the city for fire wood. Some of the shrubbery will be removed and set out in a little more artistic way, and a rustic seat will be placed on the Arlington avenue side for the accommodation of people waiting for the trolley. There was some talk about procuring more of the large cans for street corners to hold papers and other refuse that otherwise is likely to be thrown in the street. One was found to be needed near the depot and one at Fourth street and Watchung avenue.

It was the belief that these cans had served a good purpose in the past. The work in the Association is done during the year by committees, so that only one meeting a year is held. There was no change in the officers at this meeting with the exception of the election of MissKittie Stewart, as the former corresponding secretary, to the office of recording secretary, made vacant by the death of Mrs. S.

A LITTLE WORD OF CAUTION. Satisfactory Results Faeily Obtain id in Using Kerosene as a Makeshift Fuel. A paragraph in a recent isue of thi paper relating to the burning of ker osene oil in common stoves by soaking bricks aroused considerable interest, not only in this community, but throughout the State. Other papers took the matter up, andmany articles and communications on tire subject appeared during the week, and advice in reference to the use of bricks is not therefore out of place at this time. Any light brick, even a pale red brick from the outer wall of the kiln, will absorb oil.

A common building brick is said by masons to have an absorption capacity of newly a quart of water, but common red clay bricks are not recommended for oil burning purposes, neither are flrstclass firebricks good in this respect. The more re-factory the brick is to the action of intense heat, the lower its absorbent qualities will be. What is needed is a soft, ongy brick of homogeneous construction which will insure steady and even burning without risk of rupture from the heat generated by the burning oil. A well known Plainfield man has conducted some experiments in burning oil with fire bricks andhaB arrived at the conclusion that the Phoenix solid brick made by Sayre Fisher, of South River, is the best that can be obtained, because it is soft and porous and quickly absorbs the oil. Ahard or thoroughly vitrified brick does not answer the purpose.

It i generally agreed by those who have conducted experiments since Sunday last that the best results are obtained from lower grade firebricks without flues or chambers in them. Exhaust-ive experiments have been made with terra cotta IiniDg bricks with two or four air spaces, and the general verdict is that they are not as serviceable as solid bricks, because they absorb less oil and burn it out more quiokly. There are several general principles to be observed in burning oil from bricks. The most emphatio rule for safety is that the bricks must not be drenched with oil while hot or while Crri. i viuent on f'tujt 2.
