.Gloucester City Yard Owned by
U. S., Says New York Ship
building Company
ASSESSMENT WAS $475,000
Thp Camden County Bniml of Tnin
Uon yesterdny, after hrnrlriR the tf'tt
niony lu tho nppc-nl of the United States
SWpplntr Hoard and New York Ship
batlding Corporation 'against the $47i" . -000
tax nsiessment made on the new
shipyard in the upper end of Oiloiiees
ter City by the Board of Assessors of
that city, derided to reserve its decision
until a later date.
Neither the shipbuilding corporation
nor the shipping board offered nny ob
Jection againt the amount of the ni
ficssment, but made their fight on the
grounds that the shipyard cannot be I
assessed because it li owned by the
United Statci (toVernment. Citj So
Hcitor Charles AV. I.et7gus represented
the city of Gloucester and Attorney
Keys, nssistnnt counsel of the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation, represented
the shipping bonrd and Malcolm V
AVebster the shipyard firm
Tho first nnd main witness was .T
V. Watson, assistant sccretnrj of the
Kmergencj Tleet Corporation lie tes
tified to these facts: That the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation entered into
three contracts with the N'evv York
Shipbuilding Corporation in Mny, June
and July of last jenrfrir the construc
tion of the new shipjnVd nnd the build
ing of ships. The Fleet Corporation
acts as the agent of the shipping board,
nnd when the ships are built the title
passes to the shipping board and the
money to pay for the work is supplied
under nn act of Congress. The ship
ping bonrd win Incorporated under the
laws of the District of Columbia, and
there nie sewn stockholders, who
hold one share of stock each, and the
balance of stock is held by the shipping
bonrd. They hnvc the right to dispose
of their stock if they wish nt nnv time.
The shipping bonrd holds -!)!),!)!):)
shares of the stock. I'nder the agree
ment the ways and buildings are to he
sold to the shipjard when the shipping
board is through with them.
J. ,rT. Wickerslmm, secretary and
treasurer of the shipbuilding corpora
tion, said that the ship aril firm pur
chased the land where the shipjaid is
built and allows the shipping board the
use of it free of charge, but that the
shipjard firm will receive n percentage
on the construction of ships.
Solicitor Letzgus brought out the
fact that the shipping board had also
erected buildings in Camden, but no
appeals had been taken. Treasurer
, Wickersham said that the shipjard
firm had been informed that no assess
ment had been made on those buildings.
The attorneys for both sides submitted
briefs. Solicitor I.etzgus contended that
the shipping board is a separate corpo
ration from the government, and that the
stockholders hold stck in the same way
as stockholders in other organisations,
and that the shipping board builds ships
and has sold some of them, nnd that it is
entitled to be assessed for taxation the
same as nny other corporation. Attor
ney Kejs, for the shipping bonrd, argued
that the shipping board is the agent of
the President of the Pnited Stntes and
is spending money of the government
appropriated bv Congress, and to assess
the shipping bonrd would make the
United Stnfes pay taxes.
Attorney Schoefflin, representing the
Pusey & Jones Company, withdrew the
appeal of the company for n reduction
of $191,000 on its land and buildings.
Tho appeal of the Evangelical Church
for the removal of the assessment on its
house of worship was allowed.

WINGED AUTO LOOMS
AS RIVAL OF PEGASUS
Pennsylvania Inventor Has Ma
chine Designed for Travel
on Land or Air
I.itltz, Pa.. July 11. If genius can
materialize the dreams of John E.
I.oiigcneckcr, of this place, the winged
nuto will fur outclass Pegasus, the
mjtlinlngiiiil winged horse, nnd will 01
cupj n eij real nidie beside the
(' I!, the Vitm-Vickers aud the It "A.
The advantages of such a machine
arc self-evident. Instend of waiting at
n grade-crossing until n train of ninety
eight frught cnr.s has tumbled by, the
chauffeur of the futuie could mi rely
unfold his wings, glide s-renely over the
track aud get ten miles down the road
bj the time the gate tender lifts the
bars.
In closing a liver, too. the aerial
motorcar would have the jump on nil
nvals. as an readily be imagined. The,
idea of being nble to laugh nt all frame
rules without getting pinched is an
other point in favor of the T.ongenecker
invention.
Convinced that the vehicle of the
future would be adaptable to air or
land travel, Longeneckcr has rigged
up the first alate motorcar on record.
It hasn't been pntentcd jet, nor has
its sponsor even attempted n hop-oil.
It is, however, a stable, simple com
bination of airplane nnd automobile,
the wings of which enn be folded up
when not in use.
These appendages close as simplv as
they open by the movl"" .of n lever.
When spread for flving the- ire strong
'nnd rigid. Thev cannot fold up in the
nir unless tho lever is locked,
Longenecker says, although he hasn't
jet tiied the effect above the clouds,
'according to latest leports
While soniing through the empvieal
blue, the machine would be iliiven bv a
fore-propellor which protrudes through
the radiator, acting not only as n
power, but as nn engine cooler.
The unique device wns first exhib
ited July 4 in the big patriotic parade,
when residents of this town were awed
to see a winged nutomobile gliding'
nlong in stntely manlier on the ground.
It caused with n sensntion and so manj
lnudatorj comments from I.onge
neiker's friends that he's now trjiug
to build u light vehicle, hoping n per
fect combination may be i cat lied.
He is willing to give any one the
honor of the first hop off fniin the top

Many ordinances providing for street

Hardly had the administration mem

DEAR FOLKS:
I HOPE you will have as
pleasant an outing this
summer as the 1400
women who work in the
Wilson & Co. plant, Chi
cago, are now enjoying.
These 1400 women, some of
whom are married and are
mothers of young babies
(the babies are allowed to
go with their mothers), are
sent to Camp Wilsonia, lo
cated about fifty miles from
Chicago on Lake Michigan
in the famous sand dunes
section of Indiana
Where they can bathe at will
Where they sleep on wide,
bcrpcned-in porches that are con
nected with two large
doimitories constructed
especially for them
where they can roam through
grounds that are beautiful with
wonderful foliage and flowers
where they dine on the fat of the
land eating Wilson & Co.'s
Certified Food Products
where they have a royal rest
and good time
ALL WITHOUT ONE CENT
OF EXPENSE TO THEM
SELVES and, in addition, they receive nav
while away. '
This is not charitv. It is
merely a mark of apprecia
tion and consideration on
the part of their emnlnvpr
Wilson & Co., who believes
mat tile health and happi
ness of its co-workers aw
essential to theirs and tn
'ts success.
The Mutual Service, one of
the many constructive sub
sidiary organizations con
nected with Wilson & Co.,
plans all the year round to
help these 1400 women
workers in every possible
way, but one of its great
est services is arranging
the details for these sum
mer outings.
The talented vouncr women
GOD BLESS THEM who
have charge of the Mutual
Service, prefer to do this kind
of work 'to any other in the
whole wide world. They say
their reward is greater than if
they took positions with com
mercial angles to them onlv.
It is a great thing for the hap- j
piness oi wonting womanhood
that young women of this type
like to do things for their sis
ter workers that bring roses to
the cheeks of tired mothers and
their babies and give them a
chance to see the moonlight
and the starlight and the sun
light unobstructed by tall
buildings and narrow streets
to give them a chance to
hear the birds sing and to in
hale the pure air that abounds
in uamp wnsonia to give
them a chance to dig into and
to play in the soil of God's
country. .
Do you wonder that happiness
abounds among the workers in
the Wilson & Co. organiza
tions?
Don't you eee how these little,
thoughtful courtesies help to
uphold the spirit of loyalty that
is the bed-rock of the Wilson &
Co. success, and why there is
so much meaning to the slogan,
"The Wilson label protects
your table?"
Sincorely youra,

The bills all read that the 'probable
