SILZER’S SLAP AT THE GOVERNOR
Judge Silzer, in response to the demands of Boss Hague
of Hudson county, lias at last come out in favor of beer and
light wines. The judge is a high principled man and he
tried to moke his appeal to the voters on a higher plane than
that of booze, but he could not get away with it. His orig
inal statement of principles was not satisfactory-to the Hud
son county crowd and he was given to understand that unless
he came out in favor of booze he would not get very far. The
judge has complied.
But it is ft very cnreful nnd dignified statement that
Judge Silzer makes on the prohibition question. He is mis
taken, of course, in declaring that the present laws are mak
ing this a nation of whisky drinkers for there are ample sta
tistics to prove that this is not true, hut some allowances
must be made for political “hunk” in all campaign docu
ments when appealing for votes.
The most interesting part of Judge §ilzer’s statement
is the slap he gyves his colleague on the ticket, the present
governor nnd candidate for the nomination for United States
senator. In the very beginning the judge says: “In these
days of crime waves, of attacks upon our institutions and of
sneers at our heretofore revered nnd honored constitution
only those who are anarchistic, or who have distorted views
could advocate non-enforcement of our fundamental and
statute laws. * * * There is hut one course open to
us and that is to enforce all laws. * * * The present
prohibition laws and the methods of enforcing them have
produced a chaotic and unsatisfactory condition.”
I iitJ&tJ are very iruimiii uurus, uut wimi Hll ttWIlll III
dietment against Hie present administration! When Gover
nor Edwards asked St. Peter’s Boy Scout Drum Corps of
New Brunswick to play “How Dry I Am,” calling it the state
anthem, what was it bail a sneer at the “heretofore revered
and honored constitution?” While Governor Edwards may
not have openly advocated “non-enforcement of our funda
mental and statute laws” he certainly has done nothing to
_S£e |rJiat thoy ure enforced as far as prohibition is concerned.
By Ms vetoes, his words and by his refusal to use his great
influence as governor of the state to have those laws re
spected and obeyed he has, to all intents and purposes, advo
cated non-enforcement. And Judge Silzer says that such a
person is either anarchistic or has distorted views. Still,
Hie same people who want Judge Silzer for governor would
send Governor Edwards to the United States senate to mis
represent this great commonwealth.
Judge Silzer is a high class man, hut he is in had com
pany. Those with whom he is associated are trying to drag
him down to their level. The judge, in trying to satisfy
them and at the same time maintain his own self-respect, is
having a rather difficult time of it. Every lime his own bet
ter nature crops out it reflects disastrously upon the crew
with which he is training in this campaign. The judge will
learn before he gets through that he cannot serve God and
rnftmmon.
CITY’S OWNERSHIP OF WATERFRONT
The revival of the agitation for the purchase by the city
of the Meredith tract at Market and Water streets adjoining
Bayview Park is not surprising following the band concert
that was held there Wednesday night. The tract is located
on the east side of Water street, extending from Water
street to Front street, and immediately north of Market
street. Not the least important feature in connection with
this tract is that certain riparian rights go with it and as
riparian rights cannot he bought from the state any more,
the only way the city can secure possession is to buy propr
erty for which the riparian rights were secured before the
present ruling by the state was put into effect.
As the Evening News has repeatedly stated, the city
will make no mistake in buying any of its waterfront, prop
erty. Eventually all will be extremely valuable. The prop
erty already bought by the city, which purchase caused con
siderable criticism at the time, has become a wonderful
asset. This land could not be bought today for twice what
the city paid for it a few years ago. This will be true re
garding any other purchase along the waterfront that the
city may make.

the land east of Water street all the way from Market street
around the Bluff to High street. This would make a beau
tiful boulevard and terrace overlooking the bay that would
add millions in valuations to the city. With Bayview Park
at one end and Caledonia park at the other, both already
owned by the city, an excellent start has been made. The
addition of the Meredith tract is a logical step in carrying
out this development.
As for a permanent location for the band concerts,
however, no better place could be chosen than at the foot of
Gatalpa or Brighton avenues on what is known as the Hayes
park tract, which the city already owns, having bought the
land for park purposes. When the sewers are removed and
municipal bathing beaches are established on the shore
there that section will become the city’s playground and
band concerts would follow in the natural course of events.
No doubt the City Plan Commission, now quietly at
a comprehensive city plan, has all these matters in

EXPERTS STUDYING COAL
SHORTAGE DUE TO STRIKE
Dally Letter by Frederic J. Haskln
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—Tiie
protracted coal strike has set experts
of the Federal government to study
ing anew the problem of the storage
>f coal on a large scale.
Aside from the expense of extra
handling and equipment, ther$ are
two major reasons why coal cannot
juccos.sfully be stored. The first is
that when exposed to the air. coal
rradually loseB its combustablllty—
hat is, its burning and heating qual
ities. The ages produce coal by
crushing decayed vegetable matter
under great weight and pressure in
the depths of the earth, far from at
mosphere. When coal is brought to
the surface and exposed to the air,
nature starts to undo the process
nnri tnkn Ihn nf pnmhnqtlim
away.
The second reason is that, through
some chemical or physical action of
the air upon coal which has been
taken from the mine, the product
generates heat of its own and spon
taneous combustion results. This is
one of the mysterious forces of na
ture w hich has baffled many scien
ists and engineers. Without the ap
plication of any external heat or
nflammatory matter, a pile of coal
lOmetimes will ignite Itself and burn
with dangerous intensity.
This phenomenon is encountered
most frequently at sea. Steamers
must store large supplies of coal in
:helr bunkers. The frequent result
s bunker fire, caused almost always
jy spontaneous’combustlon.
Every American who reads news
papers a/id learns of coal strikes
tnd shortages of coal due to car con
testion or inadequate transportation
facilities has asked the question:
Why not keep the mines running
ind store the coal in plies? Tha
foiegoing are the good and sufficient
•easons.
These obstacles to coal storage
mean that coal cannot be mined
jntil there Is a quick market for it.
The demand for domestic coal for
heating and cooking Is fairly steady
tnd can be reckoned upon, so It la
possible for mines to keep a fairly
steady supply of coal moving to re
tail dealers. But for the great In
dustrial consumers the task Is more
lifflcult. Factories have boom per
iods and slack periods. Their de
mands for coal vary. The result Is
hat the coal to All * large order for
t mill or a public utility is not taken
out of the ground until the coal
company has obtained the order.
In boom times when factories are
running full blast, the orders come
n fast. Then follow feverish efforts
to get the coal out. But here nn
ather factor enters. It Is no use to
bring the coal up above ground un
less cars are available to take it
iway. With everybody Remanding
coal at once, the railroads cannot

supply cars rapidly enough to take
care of all demands.
All these circumstances point to
the desirability of devising a plan
for the storage of coal.
M ater Storage System
There has been one extensive, suc
cessful experiment in this country
along lines heretofore found feasible
In England. The Illinois Traction
Company which operates a network
of interurban electric railroad*
throughout the state haa establish
ed a system of subaqueous storage.
It has been learned that coal can be
Btored under water. This keeps the
air from working its deleterious ef
fects on the coal and also prevents
spontaneous combustion. It U a
curious fact, however, that a small
quantity of water will not prevent,
but stimulates spontaneous combus
tion. Merely to moisten coal or
ha vs It half covered will set it aflie.
Many of the bunker fires on ships
arise from leaks. To affect proper
and safe subaqueous storage, the
coal must be wholly submerged.
The reason this has not been re
sort to more generally is that
such a storage plant Is expensive.
The Illinois Traction bins are vast
concrete lined basins. The handling
of the coal is multiplied because It
must be mined, hauled to the storage
bins, dumped In. flooded. Then when
coal from the bins is needed, the
water must be partially drained off,
the coal hoisted and transported
again to the point of consumption.
However. In some cases, the cost o!
such storage is regarded as well
spent in that it provides Insurance
against suspension due to shortage
of production, strikes or interfer
ence with distribution.
Recent Investigations by the Bu
reau of Mines reveal that the dan
gers of spontaneous combustion are
not so great as they have been con
sidered in the past. The most re
cent study, made by O. P. Hood,
Chief Mechanical Engineer of the
Bureau, shows that the combustion
la caused by the surface heating of
the coal. The contact between the
oxygen in the air and the inflam
mable elements in the coal causes
the heating which increases to the
point of combustion. Mr. Hood
points out that the aurlace presented
by a ton of coal la tremendous. Each
lump present# a surface and so doe;
each powdered grain. The normal
ooal pile Is not so tightly packed at
to prevent the passage of the oxy
gen-bearing air through Interstices
to practically every particle of the
toal.
One Surface Acre Per Ton
When all these minute surfaces
exposed to the air are added by Mr
Hood he gets the astonishing total
of approximately one acre of sur
face to every ton of coal.
Two remedies for this are suggested
by Mr. Hood. First, store only the
large lumps of coal. In the lamp
the coal is naturally packed si
densely that the air does not pene
trate. Lumps of nut size and undei
are those giving the greatest air sur
face per ton. He suggests that b)
more careful handling, coal can be
brought up and stored iiy”^argi
blocks.
A second suggestion is that coal
be artificially compressed. Coal dust
Is pressed into coal brisquets as a
commercial proposition now, for the
purpose of making it easier to han
dle. Compression on a larger scale
and Into large blocks Is suggested to
prevent deterioration due to expos
ure to the air and to prevant spon
taneous combustion. Fine coal oi
coal dust can be compressed so that
a ton can be put in the form of a
block a little less than a cubic yard
-In size.
Further, Mr. Hood's investigation!
show the air around stored coal in
fluences combustion. Coal stored in
a hot placa will deteriorate and ig
nite more quickly than coal stored
in a coot place. This suggests the
possibility of cold storage of coal
Mr. Hood also has found that for
eign matter In coal, such as sulphur
will hasten its spontaneous Ignition
By screening and careful cleaning oi
coal intended to be stored, this could
be eliminated. His investigation!
accordingly, have convinced him
that proper methods and care car
make tbs storage of coal on a large
scale a feasible enterprise.
Figures prepared by the Geo
logical Survey show that «h<
United States owns in the public do
main more than 100.000,000,000 tons
of unmined coal. It has been sug

UNKNOWN SEA BOTTOM
Explorers and geographers who
have been sighing for new lands to
conquer may find their best field of
endeavor, paradoxically, in the sea.
Now that the United States navy
has perfected a device for measur
ing the depths of water by sound
waves without going through the te
dious process of lowering sounding
lines It should be possible to add
greatly to the relatively little we
know about the under-water portion
of the earth. The importance of
this little explored region is brought
out in the following bulletin issued
from the Washington, D. C.. head
quarters of the National Geographic
Society:
"When it is realized that nearly
three-fourths of the surface of the
globe consists of water it is rather
remarkable how little we know of.
the vast surface of the solid sphere
which lies under this screen of liq
uid. The greater portions of our
continents are mapped oven to the
smallest details, and our harbors
and the shallow waters closely off
shore are fairly well charted: but
once the edges ot the continental
shelves are passed the features of
the sea bottom are represented only
by a few somewhat vague contour
lines laid down between rather In
frequent points of soundings.
Not Sure of Greatest Depth
"We know without doubt that the
highest point on the earth is the
peak of Mt. Everest which extends
above sea level for 29,002 feet—or
38 feet less than five and one-half
miles. On the other hand we can
only speak of the deepest abyss
■yet discovered,’ for one great pit,
hidden In the depths of the ocean,
has scarcely established its title to
first place in recent years when it
has been surpassed by a deeper one:
and it can hardly be believed that
the deepest of all has yet been dis
covered.
"School children were taught a
few years ago that the deepest de
pression tn the earth's surface was
near the Fiji Islands and that it was
30,133 feet deep. Since then ‘tho
deepest holo on earth has been suc
cessively Kermadec Deep, northeast
of New Zealand, 30,930 feet, Nero
Deep, southeast of Guam, 31,616
feet, and the present holder of the
record, Paillppine Deep, east of
the Philippine Islands, 32,089 feet.
This greatest known depth there
fore iieg six miles and 409 feet below
the surface of the sea.
Dike Scratch on Billiard Ball
"The greatest range vertically of
the earth’s surface is between the
bottom 'of Philippine Deep and the
top of Mt. Everest, a distance of
approximately 11.6 miles. This
seems a tremendous distance until
it is compared with the diameter
of the eavth which, near the lati
tudes of these great physical feat
ures, is approximately 8,000 miles.
On a globe with a diameter of eight
inches Instead of 8,000 miles, this
maximum range of depression and
heights would be represented by a
scratch little more than a hun
dredth of an inch deep. The
smallest division on a household
ruler Is one-sixteenth of an inch.
The scratch would be less than a
fifth of such a division in depth. On
a billiard ball one could hardly
scratch lightly enough with a pin
to represent the great Philippine
Deep, and a few grains of talcum
powder would stand for Mt. Everest.
The smoothest orange that grows
has much greater irregularities on
Its Skin in proportion to its size than
those given to the earth by all its
peaks and valleys.
“One who studies the earth comes
to realize that in a sense the con
tinents are subordinate to the great
ocean basins. The total volume of
these depressions below sea level is
many times greater than the vol
ume of the land that rise above the
sea. If the entire land surface were
leveled down an ocean nearly two
miles deep would sweep over ev
ery square foot of the aurface of the
globe. The condition of the conti
nents might at first glance be con
sidered precarious, but dT land has
formed a considerable part of the
surface of the earth for millions of
years and will probably remain for
a long tlmo to come. It has been
estimated that less than four cubic
miles of solid material is carried
into the sea by water annually. At
this rate, leaving out of considera
tion upheavals and subsidences due
to earthquakes and other causes it
would require more than 6.000,000
years for *11 the present land to be
washed lnfb the sea.”

KEEPING COOL
To avoid sunstroke, keep in a breeze. This advice is from
the medical editor of the London Times. He says that heat
stroke is rare in well-ventilated or windy places, no matter
now hot. --
The old idea was that “gettin’ overcome by the heat” was
due to temperature of the air.
European physicians are swinging to the beief that heat
prostrations and most hot weather discomforts are due more
to stuffy air than to actual heat.
People instinctively know this. Unconsciously, on a hot
day, you seek a position in a breeze or draft.
Mechanically, this is the same as the fan which cools an
auto engine. Circulating air is the antidote for heat, though
too powerful a breeze—such as created artificially by an elec
tric fan—is apt to cause stiff necks or colds.
The principle, that ventilation counteracts heat, applies
also to clothing. That’s why women suffer less than men, in
not weather. Air circulates under their dresses, cooling the
skin Dy evaporating warm perspiration.
In the Malay jungles natives get this same effect by wear
ing an under-vest made of bamboo the thickness of a pencil
lead The bamboo is cut into half-inch lengths and strung on
cord m the formation of a fish net The meshes or holes make
cooling air pockets under- the outer clothes.
Why do you wear heavy garments in winter? Your an
swer probably is, “To keep out the cold.” But the real effect
of woolen underwear or a sealskin coat is to prevent the heat
generated in our bodies from escaping into the cold air.
Put a hot substance with a cold substance and the heat
Hows into the cold until the temperature of the two is nearly
equalized. This happens in your refrigerator, heat flows out
of warm food and melts the ice. That’s how food cools—by
losing a lot of its stored-up heat.
/ The same principle works in summer when porous cloth
ing permits the escape of the body s heat into the air. The
body’s heat flows out into the air or into a cold bath, like
water through a pipe or electricity over a wire.
When the atmosphere is saturated with water the evap
oration of perspiration is checked, there being no dry air to
absorb it like water into a wet sponge. Hence the saying, “I
wouldn’t mind the heat if it wasn’t for the humidity.”
Misery also comes when escape of the body’s heat is pre
vented by the atmosphere being still hotter.
