By Niels NielsenThe Patrols of Troop 51 are

busy preparing tents and cookinggear for use at the Council Campto be conducted at Mendham, New-Jersey, during the month of Au-gust. A tent has been given toeach Patrol together with severalpots, pans, plates and other cook-ing utensils. The Scouts in eachPatrol will waterproof the tentsand decorate them with appropri-ate designs.

The Tiger Patrol has already.started its work and will soon havetheir tent ready for use. At pres-ent, several of the members ofthis Patrol are sleeping in the tentat night, in order to see just "howit feels" to sleep in a tent. Need-less to say, they are all enjoying it.

Troop 41 At High Bridge

I again visited the camp beingconducted by Troop 41 at HighBridge and was surprised at theimprovement they had made sincemy last visit. Additional campsupplies have arrived, including aportable radio and the Scouts arereally beginning to enjoy them-selves. The menus are better thanever and no one can say the boysare starving.

When I arrived the Scouts werebeginning to devour a supper con-sisting of hamburgers, potatoes,vegetables, tomato soup, andlemon pie for dessert.

Misi Kreylinf At Camp Wendy

Miss Dorothy Kreyling, knownto her Girl Scout friends as Cap-tain Dot, has charge of the Pi-oneer Unit at Camp Wendy, in up-per New York State.

Miss Kreyling is the captainof Girl Scout Troop 7 of Fords.Two Girl Scouts from this Troopare also working at Camp Wendy.

Campfire Program Rained Out

Just imagine yourself sitting be-side a glowing fire,with the treesswaying overhead and the starsplaying- hide-and-seek through the

wide critical acclaim and enthusi-astic applause. "WutheringHeights" based on the great lovestory of the Emily Bronte novelof the same name, was made froma brilliant screen play written

by two of Hollywood'sscenarists, Ben Hecht

and Charles MacArthur. In addi-tion, the new picture has the ad-vantage of direction by that skill-ful craftsman, William Wyler whohas previously given the world ofentertainment such unusual pic-tures as "Dead End," "TheseThree," "Dodsworth" and Jeze-bel." "Wuthering Heights" is un-questionably his greatest direc-torial job to date.

branches. Your hands are tightlyclasped about a long green stick,and as your eyes gaze along thepole, they feast upon a large, juicydog fastened to the end. This isthe sight which nearly greeted theScouts of Troop 51 at a recentmeeting.

The wood had been gathered, thefrankfurters and rolls had all beenbought. Everything had been ar-ranged for, including two cases ofsoda; but someone forgot to bringthe sunshine. As the lire was aboutto be lighted, all our dreams van-ished in ' a burst of rain. TheScouts were hurried into cars andtransported to the Scoutmaster'sresidence. Here the Scouts gath-ered about our indoor campfireand sang songs, while the weenieswere fried over a gas stove. Themeeting proved to be quite success-ful when we realized that the mos-quitoes had forgotten to follow usindoors.

More Tips On Camping

A successful camp depends oneach camper doing his share. Youshould know whether you can cook,or build fires, or make handy campgadgets—but help -with your fullshare of camp routine.

Be sure you have everything,but the food, ready for camp afew days in advance. Don't flyaround town the last morning likL'a decapitated hen.

If you forgot a can-opener, useyour axe. The lower corner of thecutting edge will not harm an axe,but why ruin a good pocket knifeon a 10-eent can of beans?

A few old papers laid on top ofa cot, under the blankets will keepout the cold. Two blankets withpapers sewed between them arewindproof.

Don't forget that two flannelshirts are better than two coats,and they are easier to get on.

To get the maximum good fromyour blanket, wrap yourself in itas follows: Lie down and spreadthe blanket across you, then raiseboth legs, with the knees stiff;now tuck in both sides of theblanket under you. Raise yourselfon your heels and shoulders, stom-

I ach up, and tuck the blanket underI your hips. If you are still freez-ing, use another blanket.

Registration Nearly CompletedThe registrations for the Rari-

tan Council Camp to be held at theSchieff Reservation during themonth of August, have nearly beencompleted. Approximately fifteenTroops of the Council will take thisopportunity of sending their Scout3to camp. If registrations continuethere is a possibility that the campwill be conducted for a third week.

nate conditions inviting violations.If, for example, there is a ten-dency of double parking the con-ditions might warrant it. In Wood-bridge Township, especially onMain Street in Woodbridge proper,we have eliminated such conditionsby switching from parallel park-ing to angle parking the entirelength of the street, so that thereare more parking facilities. Sincewe tried out the new system, wehave found that it does not inter-fere with traffic and has aideddrivers who wish to stop at vari-ous stores for just a few moments."

Supervision Needed

Chief Keating also pointed outthat stern supervision of trafficviolations has its desired effectupon motorists.

"With the cooperation of Com-missioner Rankin," Chief Keat-ing stated, "all traffic measureshave been strictly enforced by thisdepartment. For the past yearand a half, there has been a per-sonal appearance on all tickets andthat rule hasn't been violated once.The summons books are inspectedregularly by Captain Parsons and.myself."

Chief Keating emphasized thefact that the uniform violations no-tice that will be issued during theEnforcement Demonstration willnot take the place of the regulardepartment summons which willalso be issued. All uniform viola-tions notices issued will be report-ed to the state committee.

Assemblyman Vogel(Continued from Paije 1)

"The majority has taken the po-sition that it has solved the reliefproblem through diversion andother methods of discredited fi-nance without cost to the taxpayer,when, as a matter of fact, Dr.Clee's program contemplated anassumption of 40 percent of therelief load by the municipalities,which in itself constitutes increas-ed costs to the taxpayers. I havealways taken the position and stillurge that the legislature shouldaddress itsell to solving the reliefproblem in a sound manner by dis-tribution of costs equitably."

Discuss R. R. ProblemTaking up the matter of the pro-

posed railroad tax compromise,Mr. Vogel expressed the opinionthat if the railroads are permittedto compromise on taxes "each andevery taxpayer in the state mayappeal on the same footing."

"The best evidence of the in-sincerity of the railroads," Mr. Vo-gel emphasized, "is that they haveincreased their original offer byover 100 percent. It is my feel-ing that the railroads' positionwith respect to the assessments on

Bear Grease Glazed WindowsIn frontier cabins of American

history, windows were frequentlyglazed with paper soaked in bearor other grease. Paper treated inthis manner, while not transparent,is more translucent than untreatedpaper. It also sheds water in caseof rain. Glass at the time was com-paratively expensive, even in set-tled communities, while its trans-portation to frontier settlementsmade its cost prohibitive and its ul-timate arrival intact exceedinglydebatable.

Wasting: TimeTo learn never to waste our time

Be-gin, then, with promptitude, act de-cisively, persevere; if interrupted,be unruffled, finish it carefully—these will be the signs of a virtuoussoul.

More Testimony AppearsThe question of Wagner Labor Relations

Act amendments is one that has not dieddown quietly, as some violent enemies ofany changes in the Act seem to have hoped.And every week, new facts turn up thatpoint directly at fundamental weaknessesin the present form of this particular law.

The magazine "Mill and Factory" isthe latest to add testimony to the mass ofmaterial already accumulated. Its editorhas just completed a survey of averageAmerican companies in 28 states, and hasfound that it costs an average of $20,582 tofight a decree of the National Labor Rela-tions Board.

Only about half the corporations in theUnited States, he points out, are financiallyequipped to pay this amount. The cost isvo high that most companies have no choicesave to yield to "consent decrees," no mat-ter how arbitrary and unfair they may feelthose decrees are.

The survey's results scarcely make onefeel that in the present form of the Wag-ner Act, the American people are scarcelyseeing American justice as they are accus-tomed to see it. The obvious answer is forCongress to do something about the situ-ation at the earliest opportunity—and thatsomething is to amend the Act to make ita real force for industrial harmony, peace,and mutual benefits for both managementand labor.

Time To Wake UpRecently the American Institute of Pub-

lic Opinion, noted for its fact-finding accu-racy, started asking Americans the ques-tion: "Do you happen to pay any taxes?"

It is an established fact that nearlyeveryone who receives money from anysource or buys even the barest necessitiesof life pays out a substantial part of his orher income in the form of hidden taxes.Yet 25 per cent of those answering theabove question seemed sincerely to believethat they weren't helping to pay the mount-ing cost of government.

Sadly enough, most of those who werenot conscious of paying taxes were num-bered in the group on whichh proportion-ately the burden falls most heavily—thoseearning less than $20 a week. The manor woman earning that amount pays, onthe average, slightly over a hundred dol-lars a year in taxes.

The common delusion brought into thespotlight by this survey is undoubtedly oneof the chief reasons why heavy governmentspending, waste, and inefficiency so seldomencounter concerted opposition from thosemost affected. And one thing at least issure: there can be no "aroused taxpayer"so long as the individual supposed to playthat i;ole isn't even conscious of being takenfor a spending sleigh-ride.

to know that others were having moretrouble than we were, it has now beendefinitely proved that there is increasinglyless truth to the claim.

A recent study proves this by tracingthe relative growth of taxes in the UnitedKingdom and the United States. Startingin 1913, they have risen 430 per cent in thecase of the United Kingdom, and 640 percent in the case of our own country.

This taxing race has proceeded fairlyevenly until 1924. At that point the Unitedstates began to forge ahead. And today,between heavy spending and the taxationthat ensues, we are in danger of reaching apoint where it may be said, as was the caseat a very famous boat race of happiermemory: . - .- .•'. . .„' r . i .

"The Americans are first—and there isno second!"

A Japanese General At PrayersThe news comes from Tokyo that Gen.

Iwane Matsui, commander of the Japanesearmies that captured Nanking, will spendthe rest of his life "in prayers" for those.-.lain in campaign.

Earth from his battlefield in China willbe incorporated in a statue dedicated to thedead.

This information raises some questions.In the first place, we have been advisedthat the Japanese believe that soldiersslain in battle go immediately to Heaven;if this is true the general's prayers are use-less. In the second place, the Japaneseusually report the capture of Chinese citieswithout losses of any consequence and thewonder is that the general should be dis-turbed by his dead soldiers.

There is no intimation in the dispatch,however, that the Japanese hero, in hisprayers at the Buddhist shrine, intends tohave anything to say in behalf of the Chi-nese men, women, and children outragedand killed by his soldiers in the looting andraping of the Chinese capital.

Hollywood's WorstThe world has taken a lot from Holly-

wood bat this latest idea that animalsounds, passing through human mouths,will be fashioned into words may be thelast straw.

Then, should one see a picture, depict-ing the lambs at play, their innocent noiseswill be translated into words by corrupthuman beings. True, the lambs, and otheranimals will not understand what the hu-man beings put into their mouths, so tospeak, but it is a safe bet, if they did, theywould stop their gambols or go on a hun-ger strike.

"Showers Oi Stones"All you have to do is to read the news-

papers fairly regularly and you will runacross some interesting examples of thecredulity of mankind.

The latest story to attract our fancycomes from Port of Spain, Trinidad, wherea 17-year-old girl is suspected of being an"agent" of mysterious spirits.

It seems that her father ran an inn.Suddenly, in the lobby, showers of stonesbegan to fall. They stopped, so it is said,when the girl moved to another house. Aday or so later the showers began at thenew resting place.

The dispatch says the parents movedfrom the inn, the mother unable to "standit another minute." Persons who gatheredsaid they saw pebbles, marked with crosses,fall in the lobby. Occulists attributed thehappenings to "African sorcery."

Of course, nobody with any sense be-lieves that there was any shower of stones,unless the girl threw them into the air be-fore they fell. However, there are peoplein the world, and not all of them in Trini-dad, ready to believe, and anxious to be-lieve, that showers of stones fell mysteri-ously and miraculously.

The people, as in olden days, look for asign. Superstitious under the thin veneerof civilization, human beings yearn forportents, voices and the supernatural. Thecraving takes strange forms in differentlocalities and every once in a while thereare signs that indicate its existence in vari-ous sections of the United States.

A Sermon In Democracy

Taxation—Not A RaceThe time seems to be rapidly passing

when those who used to point to the Eng-lish as a group with a higher tax burdenthan ours will have any cause for satisfac-tion.

Though it was hollow comfort at best

Truth In StoneEveryone admits these days the impor-

tant part that the inventor plays in theprogress of this country. Occasionally,however, we are inclined to forget that thebenefits of individual inventors would be offar less value and service if it were not forthe protection provided by the patent lawsand the United States Patent Office.

The fact that those laws insure a fairreward for work well done has done muchlo stimulate research and invention. Theresult has been the development of new-products, which in their turn provide newjobs and payrolls, and offer more comfortsand conveniences to all Americans.

To those who are inclined to ignore thecontribution of the patent system to thisprocess, a visit to the Patent Office in Wash-ington is recommended.

There, chiseled in stone over the door,the doubter will be able to read these im-mortal words of Abraham Lincoln:

THE PATENT SYSTEM ADDEDTHE FUEL OF INTERESTTO THE FIRE OF GENIUS.

And that's truth in lasting stone that iswell worth pondering!

Special Permits—Why Issued andWhy Cancelled—Herein ofCamp Nordiand and Isms

Dear Mr. Burnett:I have read that you have is-

sued a special temporary permit tothe German (American) BundCamp Xordland, in Newton, K. J.to sell liquor.

We 100 percent Americans arecontinually fighting any and allIsms, and you by issuing the abovepermit encourage them.

The majority of the members ofthe Bund are aliens, and they havefavors shown them instead of dis-couraging them.

Such nets as the above mention-ed make it more difficult for weveterans in our fight against Isms.

I, as a veteran of the Spanish-American Wur and the World War,send this letter as a protest to theabove mentioned permit.

Very truly yours,J. A. LAWRENCE, PastCommander of The Am-erican Legion Post, RedBask, N. J.

* * *July 8, 193!).

Hon. J. Lawrence,Past Commander, AmericanLegion Post of Red Bank,Colt's Xeck, X. J.My dear Commander:

I note your protest but respect-.fully dissent from your conclu-sions.

The reason this permit was is-sued was because Klapprott, anAmerican citizen, had applied forrenewal of his license but theTownship Committee, in view ofobjections filed and hearings thenand now in process, had neithergranted nor denied it. If it shouldlater eventuate that he was entitl-ed to a license, there is no way inwhich days lost could ever be giv-en back. He swore that he hadconducted his business for twoyears in a lawful manner and nev-er committed a violation of thelaw, or the rules and regulationsand that he had invested •large;sums of money to establish thegood will of his business. If youwere in his place, wouldn't youdeem it an outrage if your busi-ness were to be suddenly broughtto a halt because somebody saidsomething about you which youhad no chance to defend? Thepractice of convicting a man be-fore he is tried is a dangerousbusiness in a democracy.

Of course, I issued the permit.Late, on July 6th, on com-

plaint that the law which forbadethe wearing of uniforms similar tothose of the Nazis or of imitating

Hitler's salutes, had been violatedat Camp Xordland on July 4th, Iconducted an all-day hearing atwhich both sides were fully heard.

It thereby became clear that thelaw had been violated, both as touniforms and as to salutes. True,the law did not declare whetherthe forbidden acts were a misde-meanor, or what, but it was an ex-pression of the will of the sover-eign State of New Jersey, andthat was enough.

Of course, I cancelled the per-mit.

Please do not think for a mo-ment that I encourage swastikasor goose-stepping. We must not,however, do here the very thingwe condemn abroad. Savageryfeeds on reprisals. Like begetslike. The golden rule will neverprevail except by force of ex-ample.

"Isms" are not squelched by: hitting below the belt or makingj martyrs. We, who glory in our; priceless heritage of due process(of law—or fair play which is but; another name for it—should befirst to practice what we preach.

I don't like, any more than you,to see a .swastika stuck under thenose of Goerge Washington. Theswastika is not a substitute for theStars and Stripes—there isn'troom for both.

Very truly yours,D. FREDERICK BURNETT,

Commissioner.

Confession Not EnoughHaving been caught sucking

eggs, the National Labor RelationsBoard quite condescendingly an-nounces (with reservations) that itwill go and sin no more.

It proclaims modification of cer-tain rules it arrogated to itself aslong as it could get away withthem, and to which it stubbornlyclung until pushed by public sen-timent and congressional investiga-tion.

The whole NLBR performancehas b*een a striking example of abureaucracy failing to understandthat ours is a government of laws,not of men. It has performed likethe constable who thinks a searchwarrant is a lot of silly circum-locution.

That it should at this late datedeign to yield in an effort to pre-vent amendment of the law underwhich it operates amounts to noth-ing less than an insult to a Con-gress that sot it up.

Congress should immediatelywrite into that law the concessionthe NLRB has proffered underfire, and not leave up to the NLRIJthe privilege of changing its mind;and to write also such otherchanges as are indicated by theinquiries which brought this be-grudging concession from theboard.

The Wagner Act should be madea function as its author intended.With it should be dovetailed amediation system which will as-sure continuity instead of chaos ininrustry- That is a definite andobvious duty of Congress before itadjourns.

And the NLRB .should be taught,by amendments to the law it ad-ministers, that Congress, the cre-ator, and not the board, the crea-ture, is the policy-making body ofthis nation; that statutes rule, notbureaucrats and whims and preu-dices and predilections.—^Washing-ton Daily News.

Each His Own Stereoscope,According to Professor

The ability to see stereoscopic pic-tures without a stereoscope is, Ifnot common, at least fairly easy toacquire. I have been able to viewsuch pictures with naked eyesight(or many years past. If one placesa pair of stereoscopic pictures atthe normal distance from the eyesfor comfortable vision and then di-rects one's gaze just over the topof the pictures at some more dis-tant object, two images of each ofthe pictures will immediately ap-pear.

By a little practice, the right handimage of the left picture and theleft hand image of the right pic-ture can be brought into coin-cidence, the coincidence occurringrather suddenly in the end, and,as it were, engaging in that position.This sudden coalescence is, I pre-sume, due to the eyes refocusingat normal distance each on its ownpicture. When this has occurred theequilibrium is fairly stable.

I have sometimes thought that itmight be possible to teach this littleaccomplishment to an audience, andthen to exhibit stereoscopic picturesin this way on the screen.—Profes-sor T. S. Patterson in "Nature."

Near-Sighted MarksmenUsually Good at Targets

Short-sighted riflemen usually aremore successful shots than thosewho are far-sighted, observes theBetter Vision institute. This is be-cause of the difficulty of. the far-sighted person to focus correctlyon the front sight, leading to in-accuracy in aiming.

While they can see their targetclearly, farsighled marksmen some-times make errors in sighting of atleast a tenth of an inch, becauseof the inability of their eyes to focusexactly on the front and rear sights.At a hundred yards away, this wouldmean an error of-10 inches; at 200yards, one of 20 inches. On theother hand, the shortsighted personcan line up his sights accuratelyand can. through practice, trainthem on the exact center of histarget, although the outlines them-selves are not sharply defined.

As an aid to the sportsman, eye-sight specialists have developedlenses to focus the eyes a little infront of the front sight. These addto the rifleman's efficiency and en-joyment as well as prolonging hisyears of effective shooting.

Delaware, 'Blue Hen State'The nickname, "Blue Hen state"

originated in 1776. Capt. JonathanCaldwell, of Haslet's Delaware regi-ment, was very fond of gamecocksand his company carried a numberof them as mascots. These birdswere celebrated in Kent county fortheir fighting qualities, and theywere said to be the offspring ofcertain renowned blue hen. The cap-tain and his men were in the habitof amusing themselves with cock-fights. When the fame of these bat-tles spread among the soldiers ofthe continental army the Delawaretroops became known as the "bluehen's chickens," and in time Dela-ware was nicknamed the "Blue Kenstate." It was the opinion of Cap-tain Caldwell himself that no roostercould be truly game unless his moth-er was a blue hen.

Preserving the PolishThe United States bureau of the

mint issues the useful informationthat coins can be kept from tarnish-ing by wrapping them in cellophane.In case you have no cellophanehandy, however, there is an oldcountry remedy which will probablyserve well enough in an emergency.Open your purse, take the coins out,slowly and forcibly release themfrom the grip of your itching palm,and spend them. This method ishighly recommended, as it also arc-vents the formation of cobwebs andthe multiplication of moths aroundthe coins in the interior of thepurse.

St. Francis' TombSancien island, scene of the estab-

And on this is-land he lies buried. In late August,he landed on the island, calledChang-shuen-shan, off the coast ofKwang-tung which served as a ren-dezvous for Europeans. Soon afterhis arrival Xavier was seized witha fever, and died there.

Things Not to DoNever leave the house for the day

without a mental census of windowsand doors being locked and all gasand electricity shut off.

Never wash mirrors with a verywet cloth. If the water gets in backof the mirror by flowing under theframe it will ruin the glass. Use •well-wrung chamois for the purpose.

SALT LAKE CITY.—In heryounger days she gave "Billy theKid" a real "tongue lashing," butwhen Mary J. Farnsworth, 80-year-old Utah pioneer woman, steppedfrom a plane here after her firstair jaunt she was "thrilled speech-less."

Hermit Hears of His'Death'; It's Good News

PHOENIX, ARIZ.—It look hisown obituary to bring Frederick B.Jones from self-exile, two years aft-er he disappeared from his homeand work here.

Recently a weathered skeletonwas found in rugged mountains 50miles north of here. Sheriff's dep-uties estimated it had been exposedtwo years, and said it might bethe bones «E Jones, a druggist, whodisappeared in August of 193G.

Dental work resembled Jones',and an automatic pistol found nearthe skeleton was said by a friendto be his. The person whose skele-ton was found had apparently beenslain.

But it wasn't Jones.Hem-ing that lie was thought to

be dead, Jones, 63, emerged fromhis desert wood-cutler's camp 21)miles from Phoenix just longenough to assure old friends he wasalive and happy.

He then heard for the first limethat there had been a strained situ-ation, almost war, between Euro-pean nations and that lie had beenleft $10,000 by his mother-in-law,who died some months ago.

But Jones did not like what hesaw in the city and ho went back tohis hermit life, to which he lied inan escape from "domestic difficul-ties."

HOXIK, KAN.—John G. (Lucky)Ball, who turned from lion lamingto sword swallowing for a "soft"job, believes there's no belter wayof avoiding throat ailments than "togargle a sword now and then."

To prove his assertion. Ball citesthe fact that not once .since he start-ed swallowing swords five years agohas he been bothered with a sorethroat. His wife, one of the fewwomen sword swallowers in thecountry, likewise has not sufferedfrom throat trouble, although shehas unusually large tonsils.

Ball quit taming lions and startedswallowing swords after a lion se-verely injured him. There is nodanger of being injured by swallow-ing a sword, Ball said, unless thereare jagged edges on the weapon.For a chaser, Ball eats fire.

In the same league, the Y^ood-bridge Field Club went into a tiefor third place, by shelling theShell C«#er;i and winning 5 to 0.The Field Club smothered theShell combine largely through theheavy bats of Miller, Saakes and(Jenovese, the former smashing ahome-run and the last two comingthrough with doubles. The win-ners talied in the second, third,fifth, sixth and seventh.

A turnabout was achieved bySholi in its go with the FraternityClub as it posed a 4 to ."! triumph.Pitcher CJuinn held his opponentsat bay pretty much after the firstinning when the Fraternity ladsscored two of their three1 runs.The winners had a big inning inthe sixth when they sent threerunnel's across the plate to tiethe tally and scored the decisivemarker in the ninth.

Weighted, Loaded SilkNatural silk in its raw state is

covered with a gummy substancewhich gives it a harsh feeling anda yellow, unsightly appearance.When this material is removed bywashing the skeins of silk, aboutfour ounces are lost per pound ofsilk. The fiber is then brought backto its original weight by the deposi-tion of tin phosphate. The tin usedfor this purpose is obtained byde tinning tin cans and other wastetin scrap. Silk fiber may be soloaded with this tin that the originalpound of fiber may become aimostdouble that weight. Such silk feelsheavy but does not wear well.

Health Officer GetsJob From Colonia

BOY, 6, A FINANCIEROoldwFiter, Mich. — Striding in-

to the Branch County SavingsBank, James Frederick Keller, \],offered O. W. Holmes, a note fora penny loan. The banker accept-ed lhe note and when the borrow-er relumed in a few days to re-pay the loan, he got his note and:ui additional penny as a rewardfor being so business-like.

WOODBRIDGE — "WannaBuy A Duck?"

It apears that a resident ofArchangelo Avenue, Colonia,has a duck. Neighbors claim theplace where the duck is housedis filthy and as a result rats areattracted. When the rats startto play, the dogs in the vicinitybegin to bark, and the entireneighborhood can't sleep. Soclaimed a delegation which de-manded immediate relief fromthe Board of Health at its meet-ing Monday night.

Although the demand wasmade in all seriousness, thescene 'became almost comicwith the entire delegation poun-cing upon Health Officer HaroldBailey making demand after de-mand until the latter appearedbewildered.

Among the many complaintsthey had to make, the delega-tion was particularly vitrolicagainst neighbors who had out-buildings. Mr. Bailey explainedthat he had no jurisdiction overthe banning of side buildingswhere there is no runningwater.

After a half-hour of debate,Mayor August F. Greiner set-tled all difficulties by declaringthat Bailey would make an in-vestigation and order allchanges within power.

MENLO PARK—What was sup-posed to be an attempted hold-upin Raritan Township turned outto he an inmate of the Soldiers'Home, somewhat inebriated, look-ing for a ride, when the local po-lice got on the job Tuesday night.

Paul Szabo, of Gold and LehighAvenue, of the Raritan Townshipsection of Fords, told the policehe was riding near the tile facloiywhere he is employed when he sawa man, whom he imagined was wav-ing a gun. He rushed to a phoneand called the Karitan Townshippolice.

An alarm was spread, and Wood-bridge detailed a radio car, oper-ated by Officer Daniel Panconi tothe vicinity. In Iselin, Panconipicked up a man who identified

(himself as Fritz Carlson, of the Sol-diers' Home, at Menlo Park. Carl-son is 6'i years old.

Officer John Calomoneri, of theRaritan Township department.,brought Szabo to the Woodbridgopolice headquarters and identifi-cation was made.

Carlson admitted that he wavedboth hands at the ear, but provedthat he was only looking for arifle.

Only Dramatic Critics AreExcluded From 'Players'

For years the great Edwin Boothwas fired with the idea of establish-ing a club primarily but not en-tirely for actors. In the summer of1887, with fellow-members of a Jyachting party, he got down to se- :rious planning. During the next yearBooth purchased a Manhattan houseat 16 Gramercy park, engaged Stan-ford White to remodel it, collected46 charter members, and on thelast night of the year, as first presi-dent of the Players, handed overthe deed of No. 16 to Augustin Daly,the first vice president. Next dayBooth moved in, and for the fiveremaining years of his life the Play-ers was his home.

The Players has become one ofthe great Bohemian clubs of theworld. Besides artists, all sorts andconditions of men have gained ad-mittance — ambassadors and auc-tioneers, ornithologists and explor-ers, magicians and Presidents of theUnited States. Actors have alwaysformed a powerful minority. Onlydramatic critics are excluded byrule—to avoid the possible embar-rassment of having them run intoactors they have panned.—TimeMagazine.

Fish and Game Abound inRuthenia's Hidden Valleys

In Ruthenia's hidden valleys, su-perstitions linger, and old habits,along with wide-sleeved peasantdresses richly embroidered, and lit-tle houses brightly painted in blues,greens and reds behind woodenstockades designed to keep outwolves and bears in winter.

With its wild game—deer, lyr.x,bears, stags, wildcats, and boars—Ruthenia is a hunter's heaven.

Its swift - running mountainstreams are full of salmon, trout andother fish favorites of the sports-man. For the health seeker, Ruthe-nia claims to have more mineralsprings than any other part of theworld, says the National Geograph-ic society.

There are rich salt deposits, suchas those at Slatinske Doly, wherespectacular cathedral-like excava-tions have been cut by the workersin dazzling forms that resemble highvaulted roofs, columns, and chapels.

Less abundant are other mineraldeposits of naphtha, coal, iron, andmarble—together with a handsomelocal form of quartz, or "Rutheniandiamonds," found along river banks.

Oats ProductionExperimental plots show that

with improved methods of soil prep-aration and seeding oats will pro-duce as high as 42 bushels an acrein South Carolina in contrast withthe average state yield of 22 bushels jan acre. !

APARTMENT HOUSECONVERSION PLANAROUSESJOLONIAProperty-Owners Object To

Proposal Of Mrs. AlbeeTo Alter Dwelling

2ND HEARING SLATED

Counsel Argues ChangesWill Increase Value

Of Nearby Homes

COLOXIA—With one session ofthe Board of Adjustment alreadyheld and another scheduled to takeplace on August .'i, residents ofthis place are objecting to theplan of Mrs. F. H. Albee to con-vert her present three story dwell-ing located on West Hill and DoverRoads into an apartment house.All property owners within aradius of 200 feet of the dwelling:have been served with a, notice ofthe second hearing.

At the previous session, EmilStremhui, of Carteret, appeared torepresent Mrs. Albee. On a re-ijuest made by Henry St. C. Lavin,Mr. Stremhui gave his reasons forthe proposed change as follows:

"I am jrointf to submit a pictureof the house located on the prop-erty. As you have heard the ap-plication applies to a buildinjr ofabout 20 rooms located on a plotof ground about 300x500. AsMrs. Albee spends about twomonths of each year at the dwell-ing1, the property i-s burdensome.She pays about $1,300 in taxes fora residence she occupies twomonths in each year. She feelsthat in order to continue to keepthe house in its present condition,she must derive some revenue fromit. She would like to turn thepresent rooms into apartments.The outside of the building willremain the .same. As to the valueof the properly in the neighbor-hood, it will enhance the valuerather than lower it."

Changes DescribedMr. O'Neill, a member of the

zoning board, asked Mr. Stremlauto describe the nature of the pro-posed change. Mr. Stremlau ex-plained :

"It will be converted into three-room apartments. The exterior ofthe building will remain exactlythe same as it is now. The groundswill remain the same. I would liketo have the Uoard go through thebuilding before they make the de-cision, to see the adaptability ofthe building for this purpose."

Thoma.s Moran, of the Board,remarked:

'This sort of thing will lickColonia."

Mr. Sti-emlau then came back bysaying:

"I might call your attention tothe fact that there is JI violationin Colonia; the apartments on theother side of the golf course. Thatis also in "A" residential section.In Sewaren permission was alsogranted to convert a one-family Idwelling into a four-apartmentbuilding. I do not see why thisapplication should not receive thesame consideration."

To Keep ResidenceA series of questions and an-

swers then were exchanged be-tween Charles Kit him an, a mem-ber of tfcie hoard and Mr. Stremlau, jas follows: j

Q—"Does Mrs. Albee intend tolive there herself?" ]

A—"It has been her home since !1919. There are only two in thefamily."

Q—"Won't there have to be fireescapes?"

A—"The Tenement Law willdecide whether or not that will benecessary. I understand the build-ing will have enough entrances andexits to take care of that."

Lavin ObjectsMr. Lavin, a resident of Colonia,

and Township Attorney at the timethe zoning ordinance was adopted,set forth his objection as follows:

"For myself, I think the appli-cation is out of order. If J re-

member the building code, it statesthat any change or alteration re-quires that plans and specificationsmust be filed. I want to point outto the board that the property

I fronts for about 300 feet. Now,j if a change is made, and this prop-e r t y in this lot and block is changed[from "A" residential section, thereis no assurance that other apart-ment houses will not be built onthe property.

| "Mr. Stremlau states that Mr.i Albee intends to live there andi contemplates making only interiorI changes. Mr. President, when thezoning ordinance was under con-sideration, the Colonia residents

I of that section unanimously agreedto have that section zoned as aClass A residential neighborhood.Apart from the fact that the con-struction of the apartment wouldhave to comply with (he tenementhouse laws, within the last two orthree years, Dr. and Mrs. Albeewere instrumental in having ninehouses built within a radius ofthe 200 feet property. They wereall one family houses.

Cites Pattison Change"Across the railroad tracks, the

Pattison house has been dividedinto apartments. I remember see-ing a notice on the bulletin boardof the Colonia Country Club that.rooms were for rent. During thesummer, artists stayed there. Thebuilding was used for this purposebefore the zoning ordinance wentinto effect.

"I also spoke to families withinthe- 200 foot area to appear heretonight. There shouldn't be aquestion in the minds of the peoplein the neighborhood as to whethertheft.1 property will be decreasedin valuation because a buildingthere is likely to be converted intoapartments. The building will notlend itself to alteration withoutbeing extensively changed."

Mr. Russell Feakes then statedhis objections:

"I own property in this locationthat I acquired about three yearsago, also another piece that I ac-quired about two months ago. Iwas more or less induced to cometo Colonia by the quiet type of theneighborhood. Naturally, I wouldnot have come into this section hadit not been an "A" residential sec-tion. I hope to make it my per-manent residence. This applica-tion to change the dwelling intoan apartment building in the Al-bee home is objectionable."

Several others objected to theproposed plan after which Mr.O'Neill made a motion that the ap-plication be denied. However,after further discussion the mat-ter was put over until the nexthearing to take place August '6.
