With hundreds of unemployed ex
service men walking the streets with
empty stomachs by day and sleeping

th? Fox Hills Hospital of the United
Mates Public Health Service, an In?
stitution for wounded and disabled war
veterans, maintains a chief of police

Of the remainder of the D00 persons
or, the payroll of the government as
employ?es of the hospital, a consider?
able number did not serve in any
branch of the military service during
the war. Jobs such as those of clerks
*nd stenographers, which could be
? lied by ox-service men, are held by
women and girls.
Nine Lmployees for Each Patient
These 000 employees are now being
carried on the hospital payroll monthly
Respite the fact that there now is a
monthly average of only about 790 pa?
tients in the institution?about nine
employees fur every eight patients.
However, it was faid by Dr. J. 0. Cobb,
In charge of the hospital, that about
150 of those currently employed are
??ngaged in only temporary work, and
he estimated that any well regulated
hospital "is entitled to one employee
"or every patient, or thereabouts."
At the present time the cost of main?
taining the hospital is running about
$135,000 a month, or approximately $8
a day for each patient. The cost of
maintaining many of the best private
hospitals in New York is only about
55 or $8 a day a patient, according to
Dr. .Mark L. Fleming, first assistant
superintendent of Bellevue Hospital.
And the maintenance of Fox Hills
ITo.-pitai id largely expended on a group
of about forty one-story frame, ram?
shackle buildings, with walls of compo
boaid and floor-, saturated with oil,
"which would be burced to the ground J
ill let-s than an hour, with loss of life,
once h ?ire got a good start there," ac?
cruing to William F. Deegan, state
commander of the American Legion.
Dr. Cobb Has Best House
These facts were obtained yesterday
by an investigating committee Kent to
the Staten ??land institution by the
metropolitan committee of the Legion
and wero obtained chiefly from Dr. J.
S. Boggess, executive officer of the hos?
pital, to whom the committee was re?
ferred by Dr. Cobb's daughter, with
the information that her father was
taking a ?tap when it called at Jib house
to see him. This house, -incidental!;,,
wij found by the committee to bo Hie
newest and moit ?"umptous'y furnished
'structure on the reservation
Members of the committee were F. C,
ttadea-.!, Richmond County; C. W. A.
Cannon, Queens, and John J, Bennett
r. Kings. It was reported last nigiu
that, on hearing a preliminary report
of their findings, State Commander Dee?
gan began preparations for a trip to ;
v/arhington <o reveal the disclosures in
person to the Secretary of the Treas?
ury.
Just prior to their call at th? ofiice of
Dr. Boggpat. the committeomen mad? a
tonr of many of th*- hospital buildings
and talked tu a number of the patients,
A reporter for The Tribune accom?
panied them. While thpy found that
there appeared little, to complain of a:;
to food and t:nii!ar treatment, they
were unanimous in the opinion that
the hospital buildings were "fj.rctraps"
and that it ?a- noor governmental re?
ward for sick, wounded and disabled
veterans to care for tberu in euch a
place.
Breezes Blow Throngh Buildings
Many of the buildings are sadly in
need of pan.I. Set abovs the ground
on four timber?, the chill October sea
'?last' whirl above, below and through
them. A long corridor connecting the
structure;?, heated Bolely and ineitect
ly l 7 an asbestos covered pipe over?
head, was equally draught:,, the floor.j
rywhere appeared oil soaked. There
were three ?'re buckets ?uid a pair of
hand tire extinguishers in each bu'ld
??.,-, but hydrants observed were few
.-nd far between. The compo-board of
the vails ami ceilings bad the appear?
ance of being highly inflammable, even
more s;-> than tne remaining wooden
composition of the structures.
Later Dr- C obb told the reporter tbat
"any man, even with only the power
to crawl, could get out of hie building
i fire started."
"Yes, we've h"ard that before," com?
mented one patient. "But in the sur?
gical wards there are men v.bo have
a hard t.mc even crawling. One of
th -.. has two legs and one arm off. I
des ho* he'd crawl from bis ward
? there was a ;.re h? re."
Probe* Received I'nofHcially
Dr. Boggcsg, ?n mediately after n eet
itteemen, announced that
he "would ? ? receive them officially
ns a delegation from any organisation,
even the American Legion.*'
"But, doctor," he was asked, "Isn't
thia a public institution, maintained
by the taitpayers' money'.' And isn't
any body o. citizens, having the wel?
fare of this country's war veteran! at
heart, entitled to Investigate their
treatment here?"
"No." wau the renly. "We aie re?
sponsible only to the surgeon general,
and will not be subjected to investiga?
tion by any organization."
"Is this 11 ruling of the surgeon gen?
eral 7"
"No, it is nn order from Dr. Cobb.
However, i can answer your question?
unofficially and regarding you a3 in?
dividuals. '
Reserving further comment on this
point?afterward termed as "wholly
arbitrary" in the preliminary report, to
State Commander Deegan?the commit
teemen began questioning the doctor
"individually."
"How many of the men employed as
guards or in the fire department here
aro retired members of the New York
City Police and Fire departments draw?
ing pensions from the municipality'.'"
hu was asked.
"Only one of the guards, our chief of
police," Dr. Boggess replied. "But I
would say that a big majority of those
of our fire-lighting force are former
members of the New York Fire Depart?
ment.-'
"Are any of the firemen ex-service i
men ?"
"Seme of them are. But they are!
mostly retired members of the munie- j
ipal force." ]
"Through what channels did they ob?
tain employment here?"
"They were sent to us by the secre?
tary of the Federal Civil Service of the
2d District, m New York City. All i
our employees who get more than $50
a month are government civil service
employees." "
"This is an institution for the care
of ex-servie"e men,'" Kator one of the
committeemen. "In view of that fact
and of the unemployment of main- war
veteran.-, would you be willing to re?
place these city pensioners with ex
service men, provided men qualified
for the job:) could be found'."'
"Absolutely nut," Dr. Boggess re?
plied. "The men here have served us
faithfully for some time and we will not
discharge them to give their jobs to e.\
service men or any one else.'*

Consolidation Will Bring
Together large Distribu-j
tors of General Elec?
tric Company's Produc?a !
Official vise is to-day fue principa]
remaining detail standing in the way
of consummating the great merger
in the Eastern building material sup- !
ply market anticipated on July 23 in j
the Dow Service Daily Building Re?
ports.
The merger when completed will j
include in it E. B. Lattiam &. Co., !
Royal Eastern Electirc Sapply Com- ?
puny, Sibley-Pitman Electric Corpora?
tion, all of this city, and the Tri-City
Electric Company of Newark, all of
which are dominant distributor? of the
General Electric Company's produc?a.
The combination will represent _ a
capita] investment ranniny into mil?
lions of dollar:-. Thy reported lamp :
distribution alone already controlled
by these New York companies is con
tsiderably in excess o? $4,000,000 a!
ye'-r. i
For a long time the General Electric
Company has been credited in the East?
ern building and equipment market
with desiring to obtain control of cer?
tain leading supply houses in the elec?
trical trade, so as to compete in this
territory with the Western Electric
Company. General consolidation will
be effected under a sinerle management
with E. B. Latham as president.
The name of the new company has
not yet been decided, but from appli?
cation made for registration it would ?
indicate that the consolidation will ill-,
timately bear a, name symbolic of its
sales market along the Atlantic sea?
board and in contra-distlnction to that
of the Western Electric Company.
Plan of New Combine
Official statements regarding the
plan and purpose of the new combine
will not be made, before November 1.
pending the result of certain Burveys
regarding it.-; purposes that Federal
departments and the Lockwood Com?
mittee contemplate making into the;
proposai.
As far as the general electric trade
is concerned reports are generally cur?
rent that certain independents ?re
planning a I eavy competitive bntiie
for the New York trade, which is just
now beginning to feel the impetus of
returning activity.
Vigorous protestations were made
Friday thai the advance in price re?
ceived on that day applying to rubber
covered insulatiou wire had no rela?
tionship whatever to the negotiation:,
pending in the distribution markets.
Invei igaticn completely established
the fact that the prie,- advance did net
have its source a?, distributing points,
but at manufacturing centers, and was
due to the advance in the price of cot
ton, rubber and copper wiro. The ad- !
vanee was expected to become, gener-1
ally applicable in this market to-day I
and to morrow.
General building material market
conditions showed the effect of two off
days in the construction industry and
one day of rain last week.

New Y??rk
Trailing
On a recent Sunday a big metropolitan newspaper
gave a page spread to a wise man of the East (Mew
York), who not only predicted another great war,
but gave the exact year and almos; the hour. How
man/ newspapers sensed within a year, or a month,
or even a fortnight, ibe great calamity that came to
mankind in 1914? Not one. How many were accu?
rate as to it,, duration even to a year? Not one.
Facts as to cotton crop conditions were in the
hands of the press and public i'or weeks and months.
How many o? out wise financial writers sensed the
tremendous change the publication o? the report
would make not only to ibe whole South, but in fact
to the entire financial world? Not one. We have heard
such wise men predict the turn in thetideof business.
Can you name, one who has been correct? No.
Wc eagerly scan the news to learn what some
great captain of finance thinks and we quiver and
shake if his views arc adverse. Have you discovered
him to be correct in his surmises and predictions?
Not at all. Why be a trailer after a lifetime oi such
experience? Why not think lor yourself, summon
your courage and bend your energy to business?
Sometimes, indeed most frequently, wc do not realize
what we have within our grasp. Do you know that
one of the original largest owners of the Ford Com
pany's shares sold them just before the company
,:chieved its bigness, to invest in a gold mine.'
We do not think. We guess and wc trail. Why
not lead, each one of us? This is the hour lor self?
confidence and work.

Artificial light, in one form or another, has been a necessity
of mankind's from the beginning of time. The flaming fagot
of primitive man gave illumination. So did the candle, oil
lamp and countless oilier means of lighting that followed.
Rut none of these provided more than a visibility during
darkness.
With the advent of the incandescent lamp and the utiliza?
tion of electricity's flexibility, illumination became more than
a bare necessity. Tts proper application made houses, home?.
'The development of scientifically correct lighting fixtures
and artistic portable lamps has opened an unlimited field for
d?corative and comfort possibilities'in home lighting. Harm?
ful glares and deep shadows have been eliminated. Coziness
and soft restfulness have taken their place. Correct distribu?
tion and proper diffusion of light are the influences that have
brought about this difference:
Redecorate your home with light. A look around each
room tonight may suggest inexpensive corrections in your
lighting equipment that will not only produce beauty, artistry
and refinement of environment, but will provide a sense of
solid comfort and complete personal satisfaction as well.
Our representatives or those of any lighting
fixture or electrical dealer's store will be glad
to rentier advice and assistance in any home
lighting improvements you may zvish to make.
