CIVIL SERVICE BODY
HIT BY CLERGYMAN
Minister Who Failed in Street
, Inspector Examination Will
) Complain to Winston
BOARD MEMBER REPLIES
The Rev. Dr. Julius O. Ttlerrk, Co
lumbia grnriuntc, the provisional street
cleaning Inipertor who failed to qualify
In his examination before the Civil
Service Hoard, will appeal this morn
ing to Director Winston.
"I am going to tho Department of
rublle Work to lay the entire mntter
before Director Winston." said Mr.
Bierck this mornhiir. "The Mlllr. ab-
nurd, childish thing about the entire j
rase is mat I tailed to date my report
on street-cleaning conditions, which I
made ns a part of the examination. I
also failed to adrirew it to the chief of
the burpau. I lost twenty point) on
that.
"My average was OS.S. All 1 needed
to pass was an average of "0.
"Why, the question nt that exami
nation were those any school boy could
answer."
A rating of 100 for practical efflcieucv
had been given the clergymen by Col
onel Mordcu, of tho Street Cleaning
Rtireau.
Of the present staff of twenty-seven
provisional lnsoctors, eight took the
examination and five passed, l'ntil an
other examination is held the bureau
will be nine inspectors short, m there
re thirtv-one places to be rilled.
Chief IC.trtmiuer Dailj issued the fol
lowing statement concerning the failure
ot the minister:
"Mr. llierck's report of actual street
inspection waa very meager in substance
and particulars, wanting In date and
address to the chief of ,the bureau, nnd
ho admitted that he failed to give heed
to my instructions ns to the great
weight, three-tenths of the value of the
entire examination, which wc attached
to that test. In one arithmetical ques
tion lie was given one-half credit for
omitting the process. In another arltb
mctleal question he was inorked zero,
I once sent n monitor to him to touch
hint on the shoulder and call his atten
tion to Instructions. He admitted to
day that he was not llsteulng ot a criti
cal moment during instructions, about
the examination. I understand he will
apply at the next examination that Is
to be scheduled."
Chief Monlen said : "Mr. nlerck has
demonstrated the highest intelligence
and practical, good, common sense and
efficiency in service."

Hardships After Surviving Hurricane
Atlantic City, April 1C Caught in
a hurricane shortly ufter leaving the
Itahamas, Captain Harry Somers, who
lives on Carson avenue, here, experi
enced thirty days of severe exposure and
thrilling escape from destruction when
his auxiliary sloop White Wings was
blown 1-0 miles to sea.
Of the six boats which left the Ha
hamas just ahead of the White Wings,
four were completely wrecked and some
of their crews lost.
Somera was accomrnnicd by hi wife
and a crew of only three. As it re
quired three men to man the ropes of
the auxiliary sloop, which is seventy
two feet long. Somen was forced to do
practically nil of the navigating, nnd
tor a wed; or more during the height
of the storm he scnrcelj slept. Sens
that wash "d tlu decks in the South

IKTH,
Hallenbeck asks for tho annulment of
his marriage, which followed a whirl
wind courtshln. becnn in this cltr In
April. 1018. Ills wife was Miss France
K, Hchoebel. who, with her mother,
boarded at 1834 North Camac street.
Through his attorney, Hallenbeck al
leges that several months after tho mar
riage his wife came to him and, after
removing her wedding ring, exclaimed :
. "I have no right to wear this, nnd I
have no right to stay In your homo."
According to Hallenbeck, his wife
then made n "secret confession" to him.
He nsked that the marriage, be annulled
on the ground of fraud, misrepresenta
tion, stress and duress.
Mrs. Hallenbeck denied all the allega
tions and charges of her husband, Hhe
charged him with cruelty, abandonment
and nousupport. She said aha was
left without warning.
The former Miss Schoebcl was cm
ployed here as a restaurant cashier and
boarded with Mr. Mary Hanlon at the
Camac street address. Her mother still
resides there.
Mrs. Hanlon this nftrrnoon said she
merely knew that Mrs. Hallenbeck was
now in New York. She had no know
ledge, she said, of any domestic, dlffi
cultlcs the Hallcnbeeks may hare had.

The Henry Phipps Institute
of the
University of Pennsylvania
OUR "AD" WEDNESDAY told you where The Henry Phipps
Institute is located, what it is, why it was founded and why
its treasury is empty. That w as because iour money is asked to
prevent the Institute being closed on May 1. The request en
titles you to full information about the Institute, which seeks,
through scientific research b y experts, to discover a method of
prevention, or a cure, for tuberculosis.
You know of the wonders wrought in the industrial world
by laboratory research. Similar wonders have been wrought in
the medical world by laboratory research the kind being done
now at The Henry Phipps In stitute.
Below are summaries of what research in one industry
alone did to help Uncle Sam in war, and of what research has
done to help medicine. The summaries will visualize for you
what medical science is doing for life and health perhaps
yours, or that of your wife or your child.
Industrial Research Speeds VictorySome of the General Electric Com
pany's research activities durinpr the war: Submarine detection devices.
X-ray tube for medical service. Radio telephone and telegraph. Electric
welding and applications. Searchlight for the Army and Navv. Electric
furnaces for gun shrinkage. Magneto insulation for air service. Deto
nators for submarine minc3. Incendiary and smoke bombs. Fixation of
nitrogen. Substitutes for materials.
Medical Science Aids the Navy The research facilities of medical labo
ratories are of world-wide importance as afTecting health, both in war
and in peace. When the Navy's medical department during the war was
in urgent need of serological reagents, The Phipps Institute turned over its
laboratory and staff to the Navy.
Saves Thousands Medical research found the method of transmission of
yellow fever and practically wiped out the disease that, theretofore, had
killed thousands yearly. It took 40 years of laboratory work to find cause
and cure.
Finds Typhoid Vaccine It took years of laboratory research to learn the
cause of typhoid fever. After the cause was found, it took 20 vcars more
of laboratory research to perfect an efficient vaccine.
Helps Against Diphtheria The diphtheria bacillus was found in 1884. In
1893, a diphtheria antitoxin was discovered. About 1915, a fairly efficient
method of vaccination was devised which, it was hoped, would control tho
incidence of the disease. Medical research laboratories did all these
things.
Discovers Cause of Tuberculosis The cause of tuberculosis was discov
ered in 1882. The cure has been sought since. Thus far, it has not been
discovered. Scientists say that the cure will be found, ultimately by
medical research in a laboratory equipped for that purpose. '
An Outpost of Health In all the world there are but a scant half dozen
laboratories built, equipped and manned to seek by scientific research for
a method of prevention, or a cure for tuberculosis. The Hcnrn Phitms
Institute is one of this half dozen.
Will You Help? The Phipps Institute needs and asks your money to keep
e,pen ffiL? h wl?,e,l.it,8 t,reasurv W'H he empty. Give what you can
1 or $1000 it all will help humanity.
The Family of Henry Phipps Pledges $500,000
toward n $3,000,000 endowment tum, CONTINGENT upon tho remainder be
inp; subscribed. When this Rift will become available is. of course, problem
atical. Tho gift does not obviate the necessity for paying current expenses
after May 1, when tho Institute's treasury will be empty. $100,000 must bo
had to keep tho Instituto open until an endowment is obtained
