FIRE DAMAGES KITCHENS IN WEST COLLINGSWOOD Fire originating in the kitchen of the unoccupied side of a double house at 1025 and 1027 Eldridge avenue, West Collingswood, last night de stroyed the rear partition between the two kitchens and caused damage cstimatedat several hundred dollars. The family of John Schultz, of 1025 discovered the fire. Police said, it appeared to have been started by someone possioly tramps or children kindling a fire on the floor of the kitchen at .1027. False alarms, firemen say, occur in cycles. There are more in summer and fall than in winter and spring aparently because people, and especially mischievous boys, are out of doors more on sumer and fall nights.

There are about 20 boxes in the city from which nearly all the false alarms are sent. Camden's worst box for "monkeys" just now is at Fourth and Berkley streets, records show. Sometimes, after many false alarms have been sent in through a certain box over a period of months, they suddenly stop. "Kid Has Moved" Then firemen say, "Guess that 'ornery kid has moved to some other neighborhood." Five alarms is the greatest number that can be sent from one box, yet one day lasfc year there w-as an "eight-alarm" fire at Fourth and Benson streets. A fire had broken out in a nearby building, and an exciting boy living there had smashed the glass door of the box with a rock, then smashed the key, with the same rock.

By wrecking the key he locked the connection in such a way that 32 rounds or eight alarms, were sounded in fire headquarters before the current shut itself off automat ically. Firemen were on the scene before the last alarm was completed Among the devices invented to cut down or eliminate false alarms is a bell attachments which rings loud and long inside the box when an alarm is sent, attracting everyone in the neighborhood. It is supposed to discourage persons sending in false alarms by it impossible to run away before someone sees them. But they cost $90 each, and do not entirely stop monkeys." Camden has none of these. A better ons is a box into which you have to reach your entire arm to end the alarm.

When you do, a handcuff automatically slips over your wrist and holds you chained to the box until the fire chief arrives with the key to unlock the handcuff. That device costs 175 each and Camden isn't having any of them at Refrigerator, standards 22 -23 Refrigerator, firsts 21 Refrigerator, mediums 17 -18 Refrigerator, seconds 20-21 Refrigerator, checks 16 -16 WHITE EGGS Resale of premium marks. 37 Nearby special packs, including premiums 33 Nearby and Midwestern heniiery exchange specials 31 Nearby and Midwestern exchange standards 29 Marked mediums 27 Pullets 25 -38 -34 -32 -29 'A -28 -26 Nearby, peewees Pacific Coast, shell-treated Unq. or liners, fancy 334-33 Standards 32 -33'i Mediums 29 Pacific Coast, pullet 26 Pacific Coast, refrigerator, large 25 Pacific Coast, refrigerator, medium 30 -29 -26 4 -301 -32 Pacific Coast, refrigerator, nearby, and Western, fancy 24-26 Western, good to prime 22 -24 Resale of premium marks. 33 Western standards Unq.

Fermentation is a natural chemical process. Man cannot prohibit a phenomenon of nature, nor people from taking advantage of it. The only remedy is education and persuasion. Mr. Heinrich contradicts himself when he says that the Christian wants to "lead." and then nnrnea for prohibition which is force.

Let a study of historv and experience warn him and His kind that "an overwhelmine- desire to lead mankind" which expresses itself in force and prohibition can never succeed.

Every Chair built for solid comfort. rural leaders from all sections of the state. Started three years ago as an ex periment, the institute is believed by educators and farmers alike to have proved its value in assisting rural leaders to develop a clearer understanding of current economic issues and plans advanced for their solution.

Three years ago there was some question as to whether busy farmers would give up a day a week for eight weeks, and in many instances drive from 100 to 200 miles a day, hear economists discuss N.R.A., A. A. the nations monetary pol icies, social security, and other current issues. Prof. W.

H. director of the institute, says that "our meetings have demonstrated that New Jersey's leaders are hungry for sound economic information. No longer self-sufficient, the farmer of today is affected directly or indirectly by tariffs, reciprocal trade agreements, transportation, and a wide range of new problems created by the complex economic and social order of the present day. "Issues considered by the institute, many of them highly controversial, are presented by some of America's leading economists. Speakers' views are their own the institute has no desire to win converts to any specific economic doctrine.

The sole objective of the institute is to give New Jersey farm leaders a new opportunity to hear current economic issues discussed by recognized authorities. It is our hope that the value of this study of contemporary issues will be reflected in wiser consideration of economic problems in rural areas represented in the institute." Other subjects to be cosidered by this year's institute include the A. A. land utilization, marketing and distribution, taxes and cost of government, social security, the future of democracy and agriculture, and agricultural planning for New Jersey. Sessions will be held on successive Mondays from January 6 through March 2 with the exception of January 28, when no session will be held because of Agricultural Week at Trenton.

The Institute is conducted by the extension service of the College of Agriculture. Rutgers University, in co-operation with the American Association of adult education.

RRIGHAM The Camden Fire Department had 50 percent increase in false alarms last year and the strangest one was sent in by a person who did not know he was doing it. The total number of "monkeys" as firemen call false alarms in 1935 was 76. The total for 1934 was 51. Fire Chief John Lennox believes last year's total is the largest in the department's history. Lennox believes the increase is due to the policy, adopted by the Electrical Bureau early in the year, of not replacing the glass in fire alarm boxes after they have been smashed by persons sending in an alarm.

That policy, approved by Mrs. Mary-Walsh Kobus, director of public safety, has been in force in many cities for varying periods, and, it Is claimed, saves considerable money in glass replacement. Proponents of the idea assert it does not increase false alarms. They declare persons who" are intent on ending in a false alarm wall do so regardless of glass in the box, sometimes even resorting to a pay station telephone. Unique False Alarm And that disclose, the strangest false alarm on record in the Camden department.

It happened one day last spring. Mischievous boys in South Camden pulled the box and. it was a "fast" one not only on the de-. partment but also on some innocent passerby. The boys tied one end of a stout eord on the key that is pulled down to send in an alarm.

This was at night time. They tied the other end of the cord inconspicuously to a pole on the other side of the sidewalk, at the height of the average man's shoulder. The first pedestrian walked unwittingly into the cord, pulling down the key and registering a fire alarm. Be only knew be had walked gainst a string tied across the sidewalk. He took it for a boys' prank and went on about his business.

He was blocks away when the fire apparatus arrived, and, to this day, probably does not know ha sent in a false alarm.
