It is an impudent kind of sorcery to attempt to blind a few follower* with dirty, black smoke, especially without first convincing- them that the fire had actually existed. 0-0-0 Assertions, unsupported by facts are nugatory. Surmise and gener- al abuse, i,n however molded ele- gent language, will not pass for truth. 0-0-0 The article, which you had the joyous plea sure to pervert from the true meaning for per- sonal gains, meaely omit ted a certain official's name. Therefore, your "played-up" harangue was packed with nepot- ism. 0-0-0 « Your apocryphal subter- fuge is only a lame effort to attitudinize. But, when your endeavors fail to the extent that you are unable to ascertain the real de- finition of "lie" and "at- tack" then it is high time you turned your efforts to other fields. 0-0-0 Because you, for the first time, are being faced with honest and just competition you are permit- ting your fearing souls to contract fanaticism, And, fanaticism is the false fire of an over-heated mind. 0-0-0 I admit we all have faults. I'm sorry for mine, but not yours. After all, he who exhib- its no faults is a fool or a hypocrite whom we should distrust. But to [reprove a small offense with undue vehemence, such as you have done, is as absured as if a man should take a great hammer to kill a fly on his friend's forehead. 0-0-0 However, you, as the fault-finders, have a na- ture's plague to spy into abuses; and the jealousy shapes faults that are not. 0-0-0 I might add that there is a very large and very knowing class of misanthropes who rejoice in grumbling, persons who are so sure that the world is going to ruin that they resent every at- tempt to comfort them as an in- sult to their sagacity. 0-0-0 * And, accordingly, they seek their chief consolation in being in- consolable. Their chief pleasure is being dis- pleased with everything —while they glory in conniving for personal gains. 0-0-0 To pursue trifles, such as the "lie" and "attack" (harangue of yours, Is the lot of humanity. Whatever steps you take along such lines will finally conduct you to futility and dis- appointment. 0-0-0 For, the wise bustle and laugh as they walk in the pageant, but fools bustle and are important: and this probably, is all the differ- ence between them. O-O-O Therefore, there is no terror in youd taradid- dles; nor sting in your assisting cohorts who aid you in your publi- city. For, those who live in glass houses should refrain from tossing stones. o-o-o - As to the daily press, which is feeling the ad- • vancement and increasing ; popularity of Its new competitor, and which has Joined the forces in ques- tion, I can only say "It would act wisely to mind its own business and do some 'rewriting' as well."

TOWNSHIP RELIEF CUT MORE THAN $2,00!AJONTH COMMISSIONER HENRY H. TROGER, JR., EXPECTS FURTHER CUTS RARITAN TOWNSHIP.—If you think that Yankee Doodle was the only guy that could go to town, you're badly mistaken for there's a fella in Raritan Township that can show this lad Yankee Doodle a thing or three,, The way Commissioner Henry H. Troger, Jr., director of public affairs of the Township, is hand- ling the relief situation locally is a leather not only in his slouch hat but in the respective chap- caux of all the other members oi Lhe commission. Since the township has taken over the relief headache from the state, Commissioner Tioger has effected a reduction of more than $2,000 a month in the cost of re- lief. This figure was revealed in a report made to the commission by Troger, Tuesday night. While the State Emergency Re- lief Administration handled local alfaus, it cost the state and town- ship from $5,600 to $21,000 per month to take care of the needy and unemployed. But, since the State Legislature agreed to disagree and dumped the entire matter into the laps of the local commissioners, the number of cases has been reduced from 217 to 182 since April 16. This num- ber requires the monthly expendi- ture of $3,500 instead of $5,600 or more. Nevertheless, despite this great reduction, the township is still in a tough spot for only $600 a month was included in the current budget to maintain relief as the township share of the total cost. At this rate the municipality's budget will soon go haywire. At the present, there are 126 family and 56 non-family cases on the relief list. Further reduction is anticipated by Troger.

The way Commissioner HenryH. Troger, Jr., director of publicaffairs of the Township, is hand-ling the relief situation locally isa leather not only in his slouchhat but in the respective chap-caux of all the other members oiLhe commission.
Since the township has takenover the relief headache from thestate, Commissioner Tioger haseffected a reduction of more than$2,000 a month in the cost of re-lief. This figure was revealed in areport made to the commission byTroger, Tuesday night.
While the State Emergency Re-lief Administration handled localalfaus, it cost the state and town-ship from $5,600 to $21,000 permonth to take care of the needyand unemployed.
But, since the State Legislatureagreed to disagree and dumped theentire matter into the laps of thelocal commissioners, the numberof cases has been reduced from 217to 182 since April 16. This num-ber requires the monthly expendi-ture of $3,500 instead of $5,600 ormore.
Nevertheless, despite this greatreduction, the township is still ina tough spot for only $600 a monthwas included in the current budgetto maintain relief as the townshipshare of the total cost. At this ratethe municipality's budget will soongo haywire.
At the present, there are 126family and 56 non-family cases onthe relief list. Further reductionis anticipated by Troger.

THE NATION BOWS IN TRIBUTE
With heads bowed, and minds at rest, we pause once more to payour brief tribute to the soldier dead of this great nation. They wereready and willing when their homes needed protection, when the landthat was theirs was In need. They have given their ail that we todaymight be free; to them we owe a gratitude greater than we can show."Greater love hath no man than this—" Let us accord them due honor.

By the Sow of the Inland river,Whence the Beets of iron have Bed,
Where the blades of the grave~grass quiver,Asleep are the ranks of the dead;
Under the sod and the dew.Waiting the judgment dayt '.
Under the one, the Blue,Under the other, the Gray.
These in the ratings of glory,Those in the gloom ol defeat.
All with the battle-blood gotyIn the dusk ol eternity meet!
Under the sod and the dew,Waiting the judgment day;
Under the laurel, the Blue,Under tho willow, the Gray.
No more shall the war-cry sever.Or the winding rivers be red:
They banish their anger foreverWhen they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,Tears and love for the Gray. '
/"TpHE first spring following the\_ close of the Civil war found a
group of southern women deco-rating the graves of the soldierdead. They placed their floral trib-utes on all the graves regardless ofthe color of the uniform the burledmen wore. That these mothers, sis-ters and widows could rememberthe northern soldiers with the sametribute of love that they remem-bered their own dead brought abouta feeling of tolerance all over thecountry. This little ceremony in-spired the poet, Francis Miles Finch,to write his poem, "The Blue andthe Oray,"
Later It was set to music, and .the singing and reading of it didmore to re-estutilfsh harmony thanany of the well thought out plans ofreconciliation of the diplomats. Thesecond spring after the war, thenorthern women decorated the 1graves of the southern men as wellas the graves of their Own dead.
In 18C8 General Logan command-ed all the soldiers' graves to be dec-orated. The same year New Yorkdeclared Memorial day a legal holi-day and state after state followedits example. So one day toward thelatter part of May the dead are hon-ored and a Just tribute Is paid tomemories.
Since this day lias been largelyresponsible for establishing har-mony between the North and Southit is also due to its results thatbelles from the South and maidsfrom the North now gather in thesame social cliques.
PRIZE BUST OF LEEAmong the thin ranks of the G.
A. R. veterans there may yet be aman to whom a portrait bust ofGen. Robert E. Lee, carved In fineold American walnut, will be a stir-ring memory of the days of '04.
For this bust was the trophy of 11Union infantryman, taken by himfrom a captured Confederate gun-boat.
But little Is known of the bust'shistory; a battered gunboat, rakedand shattered by gunfire, driftedhelplessly upon a sand bar offNatchez during one of those his-toric engagements on the broadbosom of the Mississippi. Onceaground her crew put up a brief butfierce resistance to the Federalforces, but the odds were againstthem and before long the Unionmen were aboard the little vessel.
Thvre one man found this bust—half buried, but unharmed—a trib-ute to the hardness of the goodAmerican walnut from which it hadbeen carved. Who had been Itscarver no one knows.

OUR PATRIOTICU MUSIC E
\\T ILLIAM BILLINGS is creditedy y with being the author of the
first American patriotic song,one that became popular with Colo-nial troops In the Revolutionarywar, although there was no specifictitle to it. Another early one was"The Liberty Song," published in17(58, calling on the people to unitefor liberty. The first American-madepatriotic sea. song was "The YankeeMan-of-War," written about 177S, tocommemorate the exploits of Capt.John Paul Jones. "Yankee Doodle,"known as an American patriotic bal-lad, was an English song at the be-ginning of the Revolution and anAmerican song at Its close. It wasordered played by General Lafay-ette at the surrender of the Britishforces at Yorktown. Joseph Hop-feinsoa wrote the words of "HailColumbia," which were adapted tothe air of the "President's March,"the composer of which is not defi-nitely known. "The Star-SpangledBanner" was written by FrancisScott Key after witnessing the bom-bardment of Ft. McHenry In 1814.The air is from a song by the Eng-lish composer. John Stafford Smith,entitled "Ode to Anacreon." Thewords and music of "Columbia, theGem of the Ocean," equally wellknown as "Tlie Red, "White andBlue," were written by Thomas aBecket, an English actor playingAt the Chestnut Street theater inPhiladelphia in 1S43. It is used inEngland with suitable alteration ofthe text, as an army and navy song.Samuel Francis Smith, a BaptistClergyman and poet of Boston, in1S43 wrote the words of "America,"which were sung to the air of theEnglish "God Save the King." "Bat-tle Hymn of the Republic" waswritten by Julia Ward Howe aftervisiting the Army of the PotomacIn December, 1861.
"The Battle Cry of Freedom," byGeorge F. Root, was to aid PresidentLincoln's second call for troops, and"Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" was by thesame author. "Marching ThroughGeorgia" was Henry Clay Work'ssong, and "When Johnny ComesMarching Home" was written byPatrick S. Gilmore.

the preliminary polling on thepresidential campaign will be thestraw vote that breaks the ele-phant's back . . . The way thosepeople down in Washington goaround naming new bureaus, youwould think they did nothing butbrood over alphabet soup . . . Anyday now some publicity man islikely claim that he put over LeapYear as a promotion stunt for aparachute company.
Most radio comedians are sobusy they wouldn't even knowwinter had come if the crowd did-n't give them the cold shoulder . .In the old days a successful manused to boast that he had raisedhimself up by his own bootstraps.
NO BUYERS .WOODBRIDGE. — Alas and
Alack! The Mac G. Bell prop-erty still belongs to the Town-ship of Woodbridge. The secondattempt to sell the house at thecorner of Linden and Grove avsnues Tell flat once more Mon-night for the same reason thefirst scheduled sale failed to gothrough—no buyers.
Perhaps the committee be-lieves in that ancient saying:"If at rirst you don't succeed,try, try again,"
The ultimate lor me uizy diner—dishes for dessert! They don'thave to be washed. They don'thave to be burned or thrownaway. They just have to beeaten. Miss Gerry Mitchell isshown as she devoured a platefrom which she had just eatenher lunch. The candv1 disheswere exhibited at Chicago's

In silent tribute, a lone soldier, in Arlington National Cemetery,salutes the memory of his brave buddies who died in the World War.

Dear Club Members:
MRS. J A C K COOMBS, ofAlbany, N. Y., writes to
find out how to become a memberof our club. Well, that's the easiest
t h i n g in thew o r l d , Mr;.C o o m b s , pro-vided you havet h e qualifica-tions.
First, y o uhave to be ahomemaker, or:inyhow, inter-ested in cooking,taking care ofchildren and the
like.Second, you have to read this
newspaper regularly, and this col-umn especially.
And—oh, I forgot one thing: youhave to help us out once in a whileby sending in your original orfavorite recipes, or writing me aletter about some of the things youand other women are interested in.I can't think up these things allalone, you know!
In this column we talk about any-thing — or practically anything.Mostly the club members like totalk about foods and cooking andhow to meet the little and big prob-lems of managing a home and afamily, and last—but not least I—a husband.
Club members know that thehomemaker's job is the biggest,most exciting, most absorbing, andmost important job in the world.They all want to know how to clitheir particular job better. Theyaren't too proud to borrow ideasfrom one another; or too selfish toshare ideas that they have founduseful.
Such as, for example, this recipesent in by Mrs. Sidney Kramer, ofBrooklyn:
Cashew Nut Filling1 cup chopped ] tup confectioners'
cashews sugar8 tablespoons milk ',-i teaspoon vanilla8 tablespoons butterCook nuts slowly in butter untilwell-toasted, stirring constantly.Remove from fire and add milk.Add sugar gradually, beating untilsmooth; then add vanilla. Cool un-til thick enough to spread.

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 29, 1936
Thoughts on Memorial Day.Once again the nation pauses for a day,
set apart in the honor of and to commemor-ate the brave sons of this republic whohave, in the past, sacrificed their lives onthe altar of liberty.
It would be tragic indeed if those of usnow living, who have enjoyed the blessingsof a great nation, should forget the su-preme service that has been rendered, andallow the dead past to bury glorious hero-ism and noble patriotism.
The blind worship of war, now gradual-ly being discarded, should not be confusedwith the proper recognition of duty wellperformed, or hinder a grateful people inpaying homage to those who responded inthe hour of national peril. Whatever maybe our idea about the abolition of war themen who gave themselves to meet danger-ous emergencies deserve the appreciationof their posterity.
The BEACON joins with its read-ens in calling attention to the purpose ofMemorial Day and gladly halts in its laborto direct public attention to the virtue andvalor of American soldiers, sailors and ma-rines. May those of us, now living in peace,practice in daily life the same patriotic im-pulses which moved them a.nd unselfishlygive ourselves to the service of our stateand nation, to the end that this republicshall well and truly be, "of the people, bythe people and for the people."

Charting the CourseCongress has just approved an appropri-
ation of $1,500 with which the WeatherBureau will attempt to improve its long-2 ange weather forecasting. That is a high-ly commendable purpose. If the long-rangeforecasting system is ever perfected, it wil)be worth hundreds of times what it cost.
It will .among other things, enable farm-ers to plant for dry, or wet, or cold, orwarm seasons. That, naturally will increasetheir income tremendously.
But the federal government is spendingonly $1,500 on this job, while it pours outbillions for paojects that will be gone andforgotten tomorrow.
Interestingly, the steel industry in 1936will spend $9,200,000.for research. Its sci-entists will seek ways of improving steel,reducing its cost, developing .new types andfinding new uses for the metals already pioduced.
The Weather Bureau is a governmentalagency; steel is produced by private indus-try.

Soviet Russia has "planned economy,"telling every man how much he can raise,what he can sell it for, what he may earn,how long he may work, what he may eat,wear and do. And the result?
The Saturday Review, published in Lon-don, gives these figures on prevailing foodprices in Russia: Bread, 40 cents a loaf,butter, $2 a pound; cigarettes, §1 per pack-age of 20; coffee, $4 a pound; sugar, 35cents a pound.

Senseless and UselessWe see little sense in a recent resolution
introduced in Congress, proposing a ten-man committee to study the practicabilityof a union between the United States & Canada, with an ultimate view of establishingthe "greatest English-speaking nation inthe world."
The author, Representative Sirovich, ofNew York, obviously does not accept thegeneral American opinion that we nowhave the "greatest English-speaking na-tion in the world/' but this is not the main
objection to such a foolish proposal.As a matter of practical common sense,
such a proposition should, with propriety,come from the weaker nation rather thanfrom the stronger power. Of couise, the ac-tion of one congressman does not speak forthis nation, but it is possible for such actionto inflict incalcuable injury to the futuredevelopment of good feeling between Can-ada and the United States. ' ,
The Canadians generally agree with thesentiment expressed by Premier Mitchell F.Hepburn, of Ontario, who, upon hearing ofthe Sirovich x-esolution proposing a merger,•declared, "We are completely satisfied toremain as we aa'e, a part of the British Em-pire." While expressing the greatest admir-ation "for our friends of the United States"he was positive in his opinion that Cana-dians did not "desire to become American-ized."
One unanswered puzzle, so far as weare concerned, is why some books are pub-lished.
It is remarkable how many foolish state-ments wise men make.

Cloth of Human HairPractically all the cottonseed oil used for
culinary purposes is strained through presscloth made from human hair. The hairsused for this purpose may be from six tofourteen inches long. They are first spuninto a stout yarn and then woven into heavyfabric sixteen inches wide. Two factorieswhich manufacture press cloth from hu-man hair are situated in Colombia, S. C,where the industry was brought to the at-tention of the writers preparing articles onthe vicinity for the American Guide, theGovernment's forthcoming five-volumetravel handbook.
In the cottonseed oil mills, a measuredquantity of cooked cottonseed is wrappedin a strip of hair cloth and placed in a ma-chine, called a "cake former," where it isslightly compressed to make a compactmass. The cake, still covered with the cloth,is then removed to an hydraulic press whichsqueezes the oil through the cloth. Theproduct is piped into a settling tank andsent to a refinery.
The use of hair cloth for wrapping materialsfrom which oil is to be extracted by pressure,comes down from olden times. For many years,longr-fibered goat hair and wool were used.Afterwards, European manufacturers learnedthat the Asiatic camel hah" was better on ac-count of its length and stretching qualities andadopted it. The camel's hair cloth was the firstpress cloth used in the United States. In 1936,the Boxer Rebellion in China almost cut off thesupply of raw material, and manufacturerswere compelled to resort to goat hair, llamahair, cow tails, horse tails, cotton and finally,human hair.
Tlic Oriental disturbances which cut otfthe supply of camel hair provided a sounvof almost unlimited supply of law materialfor the manufacture of the new type ofpress cloth. After overthrowing the Man-chu dynasty, the Chinamen proclaimed thenew found liberty by cutting off theirques. As the Chinese are too provident towaste anything they can sell, establish-ments were soon founded to buy up seveiedques and sell them abroad.
Human hair has a greater averagelength and more elasticicity than animalhair, and press cloth made from it can sustain a pressure of 12,000 pounds, or sixtans, to the square inch. One reason for thehigh breaking point is that human hair isfiner and, so, a great number of fibers gointo the yarn without increasing its calibre.The supply of human hair has continuedsince the Boxer Rebellion because bothmen and women of China have got into thuhabit of clipping their heads when it hasobtained a salable length.
On the average, about a quaiter of apound of hair is used up in pressing the oilfrom a tan of cottonseed. The waste clothcontains about 17 percent of insoluble am-monia and is sold to fertilizer manufactur-ers. In addition to the plants at Columbia,which make press cloth of human hair,other plants are located at La Grange, Ga.;New Orleans, La.; Boston, Mass.; Brook-lyn, N. Y., and Philadelphia, Pa.
.WASHINGTON LETTER.
'Boondoggling' Gets DebunkingFrom a Statistics-laden Hopkins
BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON—Hostile mem-bers of the House appropria-
tions committee came out secondbest in their word battles withHarry Hopkins when the WorksProgress Administration headappeared before the group as itconsidered the administration re-auest for 31,500,000,000 more forWPA. Reason for this was thatHopkins came armed withenough facts, figures, tables, andcharts to abash his critics thor-oughly.
The man the Republicans call"Chief Spender" had a large re-search and statistical staff to pre-pare answers for him. Anyonewho wanted to check these an-swers would have needed simi-lar forces. Anti-New Dealersand opponents of Hopkins lackedsuch help.
The best they could do was tocite boondoggling experimentsthat now are rather old stuff.
Contending that only 100 to150 of WPA's 170,000 projectshave ever been labeled "boon-doggling," Hopkins went on todefend the few so tagged. Criti-cisms were unjustified, he tokithe subcommittee.
• * •A NSWERING complaints on
specific projects, Hopkins de-clared that:
The $500,000 which was re-ported to have been allotted tobeautify bridle paths in the bor-ough of Queens, New York, wasonly 320,000, and went to pro-vide just one detail in a long-needed program of general parkimprovement.
The Cleveland rat extermina-tion project would save that city$200,000 annually at a total costto the federal government of$8869. (The Cleveland Food andDrug Administration, projectsponsor, estimates, according toHopkins, that 100,000 rats killedby 350,000 poisoned baits eachdid $2 yearly damage.)
The project for a complete, il-lustrated catalog of the fora-minifera fossils will producegreat benefits for science, agri-culture, and industry; and- willenable mining and petroleum in-terests to save millions of dollars.(This subsidized fossil hunt in-volved classification and cross-indexing of some 12,000 speciesin New York City.)
• • •
IMPROVEMENT of the roadbetween Skull Valley, Ariz,
(popuiation 801. and Yava, Ariz,(population 75), would bringbetter transportation facilities tolarge cattle, goat, and miningdistricts, three school districts,and numerous farms—wellworth the $81,611 spent by thegovernment.
The $23,630 reported being ex-pended for an arboretum at Hy-annis, Mass., is to provide a newathletic field Cor a state teach-ers' college, eliminate a swamp,landscape a park, build a tenniscourt, and plant trees andshrubs.
Hopkins could have gone onand on. But there wasn't muchuse. He a! ready had the opposi-tion pretty well oulfigured.

"Buyer of Death"By FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Huntil*.
THIS is the story ot Aaron Cohen, of Chelsea, Mass., and anadventure he had on the first day of August, 1930. Aaron
had one of the most amazing and most terrifying experiencesI've ever heard or read of, and he acquitted himself mighty"creditably in a set of trying circumstances.
Some few years ago, Aaron owned a variety store in Re-vere, Mass., and in it was a postal sub-station. And while I hateto say anything detrimental to our old reliable United States malls, I'vogot to admit It was tlint sub-stntion that caused all the trouble.
About the time this story begins, Aaron had decided to sellhis store, and he put an ad in ths paper announcing that fact.The next day the ad appeared in the classified section, and thatsame afternoon a man came in to look the place over.Tlio man spent quite a while looking around. He listened to Aaron's
proposition, and finally said he would Imy the store If he could lie sure thepostal sub-station went with it.
Fake Postal Inspector Tricks Store Keeper.Well, sir, that was a matter that only the postal authorities could de-
cide. Aaron told him he'd have to go to the Boston post oflice to find outwhether they would approve the change In management. The iirnn left. Ina few hours he came hack. The deal, he told Anron, had been okayed.
While they were still talking, the telephone rang. A man onthe wire said he was a postal inspector, and told Aaron that if hewere going to sell his store he would have to bring all his post of-fice equipment to Boston to be checked before he turned it overto the new owner.That sounded reasonable to Aaron. He gathered up his stock of stamps
and money-order blanks, scales, rubber stamps and what-not, and startedto carry them out to his car. But there his prospective buyer Intervened.'Tut them In my car," he suit}. "I've got to go into town. I'll drive youin and take you back."
The Strange Ride of Aaron Cohen.Aaron didn't see anything wrong with that. He got Into the other fel-
low's car. There was another man In It, sitting behind the wheel.They drove a 6hort distance until they came to a lonely spot
near the old Revere cycle track and then the next thing Aaronknew he was looking into the muzzle of a revolver.Then followed the most exciting—most terrifying time of Aaron's
whole life. 'They put handcuffs on him, plastered adhesive tape over hismouth, and threw him into the rear of the car. He hadn't the faintest Ideawhat those men wanted, but he soon found out.
Money Order Blanks Were What the Crooks Coveted.It was that book of money-order blanks that was part of his postal
equipment. Properly filled out, they were worth thousands of dollars.Bound, gagged, and covered with a blanket, Aaron rode for
what seemed miles. At length they stopped the car at anotherlonely spot and tried to make him sign the blanks.Aaron refused, but that didn't bother the two crooks. They forged
signatures on them, using Aaron's own rubber stamps and paraphernaliato make them look authentic. Then they began driving from town to townand from city to city, cashing the blanks at post offices.
Aaron Hears the Thugs Plan His Funeral.All that tiioe Aaron rode wJth them, a prisoner In the back Beat. The
nooks didn't dare let him go, for that would moan an alarm and a closescrutiny of all money-order blanks cashed In the vicinity. And graduallyii iiitwiipd on Aaron that they didn't mean to let him go at all!
He gathered that from snatches of conversation he overheardas they rode along. Finally when they began to talk openly abouthow to dispose-of MB body, he knew for certain that they didn'tmean to let him out of that car alive.They would bury his body In some deserted spot along the road or
sink it in some lonely swamp, and let the world believe Aaron himself hadcashed those money-order blanks, collected the money and run away
Handcuffed and Gagged, Aaron Wins Fight for Life.Aaron was frantic. He began working his facial muscles, trying ta
loosen the adhesive tape that covered his mouth. At length, he got it offJust as the car pulled up before the post oflice in Brookline. Aaron waiteduntil one of. the bandits had goae inside to cash another money orderThen he acted.

For many years a. top-notcher invaudeville and o,n the musicalcomedy stage, Stone recently madehis screen debut with KatherineHepburn in "Alice Adams'1 andachieved such success that he hasbeen elevated to stardom.
The Connecticut country gentle-man, the Death Valley desertdweller, the California dirt farmerand the Hollywood screen star, un-believable as it may be, is reallyonly one person.

REGENT THEATRE, Elizabeth"The Law In Her Hands" a
First National comedy drama combining hilarious laughter and dra-matic thrills, comes to the RegentTheatre, with a talented castheaded by Margaret Lindsay, Glenda Farrel, Warren Hull and LyleTalbot.
The plot is said to move withrapid fire action from the first se-quence when a 'bomb is droppedin a restaurant by a racketeer tothe denoument in which the bossgangster is convicted oE poisoningmilk for babies and killing wit-nesses to cover up his tracks.
Much wonderment has been ex-pressed both in Hollywood andamong attentive movie-goers as tothe reason why players who .havethe right to be featured will ac-cept tiny roles in pictures directedby Frank Capra.
The answer is that Capra can domore for an actor in a small partthan most directors can do for himin a large one.

CARTERET HIGH PLAYS HOST TO BARRON " 9 " TODAY IN IMPORTANT CONTESTcOMEVIENTS ON VPORTSs
-BY WINDSOR J. LAKIS-
Let's-Talklt OverTO THE PEOPLE OF FORDS:
In view of the fact that the Woodbridge Town-ship Stadium Commission is making successful head-way in its drive for funds, terminating on July o, andas it has been brought to me, through various chan-nels, that certain residents and organizations in thiscommunity are opposed to an athletic plant situatedin Woodbridge proper, I would be gratified if saidpeople and organizations would bear me out in thefollowing article:
The first semblance of a stadium for Wood-bridge Township took root many years ago. In its in-fancy, it could be described as merely the dream of asporting community. The fact alone that the athleticteams of Woodbridge High were without adequateplaying facilities, was a black mark against a com-munity that has always been among the top-notch ath-letic towns in this state.
The embryo stadium was cradled by sport-ing groups, only to be beaten doWin by antagon-istic parties. Through all this, however, it stageda battle that eventually brought local people tothe point, where they realized an athletic plantwas a necessity and no longer a dream.
When the stadium project reached the stage,where a commission was foamed to handle its destin-ies and a site for its erection was considered, ill-feel-ing began to worm its way into the picture and indig-nant groups tried stubbornly to thwart the buildingof an athletic plant. Edgar Hill, Woodbridge Park,Gttove street diamond grounds, Fords Park and a host•of other sites were considered. Complicated difficul-ties arose in each instance when a new site was pro-posed.
The site finally agreed upon by the StadiumCommission is not heartily endorsed by thewriter. It is quite a distance from the High school.But although I am not in favor of the location forthe stadium, 1'maintain that the site has alrefadybeen chosen, work is progressing arid the actualcompletion of the stadium is not far off. I am in-terested, not in where it's going to be, but in thefact that Woodbridge Township is to have amuch-needed athletic plant.
The underlying root in the attitude of variousFords people, is the feeling that the stadium shouldbe built in Fords Park. Pnactically all the requiredfacilities are on hand and the cost of improving pres-ent conditions would be slight.
Fords is a district community of its own. Ithas its own business section |and schools. It hasturned out excellent sporting material and onmany occasions it has given Woodbridge Highschool practically entire teams in various sports.But, regardless of these facts, Fords is a sectionof Woodbridge Township ,as New Yor'k and NewJersey, although seperate states, are parts ofthe nation.
Our one high school, is situated in Woodbridgeproper and Fords students are enroll&d in that insti-tution and participate in its sporting teams. Fordswarrants a high school of its own, but it has none atpresent and it will be years before one is erected inthis locality. Pupils from Fords section, who study atWoodbridge High realize that the institution is fortheir benefit as well as any other section of the town-ship.
The keynote in the entire argument, I be-lieve to be, in whether one says, "Woodbridge"or "Woodbridge Township." If the people ofFords study the situation fundamentally, realizingthat tHe stadium is likened to the high schoolidea, they will readily understand the fact thatthis stadium is for them as well fas Woodbridgeproper.
When it is completed, Fords youths will play alarge part in the sporting events held at the stadium.Parents of Fords students will also attend games towitness their children in athletic competition. And,I'm not soft soaping either, when I say that Fordspeople will cast off their ill-feeling and change to anattitude of pride when the stadium is officially open-ed.
The goal of $10,000 needed toward thebuilding' of the athletic plant has every indica-tion of being successful. The campaign to elect astadium queetn is becoming hotter as the timegrows shorter towiard the closing of the contest.Fords girls are carrying the brunt of the fight tobecome the stadium queen.
A clock guessing contest is also being successful-ly campaigned and Fords school children are doingtheir utmost to put this project across. The youngerelement of Fords is doing a creditable job in helpingto establish an athletic plant, that WILL BENEFITTHEM in later years.
This stadium drive has reached the pointwhere it can be regarded as the biggest event intownship history for years to come. In order thatit be an outstanding success, it is necessary thatthe entire township band together as a unit andwork together.
Call it a plea, an appeal, or what you may, but Iask you people of Fords to forget petty sectionalismand concentrate on giving your full suppoat to an en-terprise that is a benefit and not a detriment to yourcommunity.

PARLIN.—A cocky band ofbaseballers heralded as the ParlmA. C, were taken down a peg heieSunday afternoon, when the Woodbridge Braves, invaded their lairand stopped their four-game win-ning streak, by virtue of a 7 to 4victory. Fine co-operation fromhis team-mates, allowed Joe Zickto hold the Purlin crew to tenbingles, while eight batters, whofaced him, went along the strike-out route.
Going into the sixth with a 2, Ui1 lead, the Braves rallied andscored five runs. The Painterswaged an unsuccessful campaignin Lhe final stanza and could onlytally two runs.
Sam Zick led the 11-hit battingattack for the winners, with threehits out of four trips to the plate.Nash was best for the Parlins withfour bingles in five chances.

NO-HifTiMNCONTEST IS WONBY LEGIONNAIRES•
WOODBRIDGE.—Indications atthe outset of the baseball seasonshowed a weak American Legionbaseball team; an unimpressiveteam that lacked the power of itsi'orebearers. Indications were tothe extreme, however, SundayaUernoon, when the Messickera,headed by "Toby"1 Bartos, shut outa stiong Bakelite nine, 4 to 0.
The smooth-working left arm oiBartos, completely held the visit-ors at bay. At the close of thefiay, the Bakelites found them-selves hitless, runless and with thedisgraceful thought that fourteenbatters had been subjected tostrike-outs by the ereat Soldiersouthpaw. Such indeed was thepower of the local twirler. His per-formance marked the first majorno-run, no-hit game of the seasonin county circles.
Both teams played errorless ball.The Messickers were held to sixhits off Melbloom, with Shinn be-ing the only Legionnaire to go be-yond the single hit limit. Both hisbingles were two baggers.

Already considering substitute legislation for the invalidated Guffeycoal act, Senator Joseph F. Guffey, right, Bponsor of the bill, andRepresentative J. Buell Snyder (both Dem., Pa.)i managed to smileafter the supreme court had ruled out the attempt to regulate thebituminous coal industry along lines of the defunct NRA. Attitudeof John L.^Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, was ex-pected to be a big factor in determining whether immediate action
toward a new lftw would be sought
FEW now survive from amongthose for whom Memorial daywas particularly established.
The ranks of the Grand Army ofthe Eepubllc are shattered. Young-er men, veterans of later wars, takethe place of those who wore theblue or gray from Bull Run to Ap-pomattos, as symbols of the nation'sBtrength in arms.
Forms of observance change withthe times, but the underlying spiritof thankful remembrance remainsever fresh and unalterable. To thosewho first thought of setting apart aday each year for patriotic remem-brance such an event as that nowstaged annually in various cities,the baseball double benders or thehighways crowded with pleasure-seeking motorists would have beenas Inconceivable as the radio to anaborigine. But one likes to believethat these manifestations of Amer-ican life do not In the least modifythe nation's sense of devotion to thememory of those who have borneher arms to victory.
There Is needed In these divert-ing and troublous days some specialoccasion when minds shall turn tothe men who have dared to baretheir breasts to an enemy In war,who have seen in their country'sflag something more than a pieceof bunting and been convinced thata nation worth founding was worthdefending even at the expense oflife and treasure. One hears muchIn these days of pacifism, of oathisolemnly taken never to bear armsIn war, of the supposed mockery ofpopular government, the rise of dic-tatorships and the smashing oftreaty pledges. One hears too littleof the innumerable thousands ofstanch American hearts which stillbelieve in national honor, the Con-stitution and the causes for whichmen In the past have been proudto die.
A people ready to observe Me-morial day Is not one to give wayto despair. Today we honor the pa-triotic dead. We honor, no less, theliving who are inspired by the ex-ample of those whose graves theydecorate.
Where Our Troops Stopped
ARUGGED monument of war im-plements, mortar and stone,marking the extreme point of
advance of the American army dur-ing the World war, still stands on ahill east of Bussancy, France.
The monument not only marks thefarthest advance of the Americanarmy on the western front duringthe World war—it also marks theground where at least four majorwars of history have ended.
The monument is composed ofGerman war weapons, includinghelmets, rifles, bayonets, swords,barbed-wire, gray pieces of uniform,and two small field guns. EncrustedIn mortar, the enemy's arms of warwere permanently "bound," symbol-izing American victory.
This spot has always known strife.In 1870 Moltke's Prussians crossed
the Meuse near here and humbledthe French under Napoleon III onthis ground. That battle ended theFranco-Prussian war.
Battle cries echoed in the hills ofBuzancy little more than a halfcentury earlier when Napoleon wasterrorizing central Europe. Only ashort distance away Is Waterloo.
Richelieu, dictator of France In1641, was crushed on this noted bat-tlefield by a combination of Frenchand Spanish forces, and the Swedesjourneyed to this battle ground atan earlier date, ending a bloody con-flict with the Franks.

WOODBRIDGE. — Stories of a"dying mother" and gun-men thatforced him to take another's carthrough the Holland Tunnel didnot satisfy Patrolman John Man-ton and Judge Arthur BrownMonday, with the lesult that oneDaniel King, colored ,36, of 108 \V141st street, New York City, willbe the "guest" of the County ofMiddlesex in its workhouse for aperiod of 270 days. After servingnine months, King will be awaitedby New York detectives with ac-ttiiners for stealing a car and fail-ute to answer a summons for pass-ing a car on the right.
King, it ppears, had a full dayMonday. He had just been hiredby a Mr. Kaminski, of 931 Loringplace, the Bronx, to deliver orders;for his grocery-butcher business.King took the first order, deliver-ed it, and collected seven dollar.'which he failed to turn in. He thenstarted for the Holland Tunnel,where ,he was given a ticket. IntoJersey he came at such a recklessrate that the state troopers startedto give chase. He managed toelude them but came upon the fu-neral procession for the late Sam-uel Vogel and all but forced on*,of the cars in the funeral into aditch. Finally King was caught byPatrolman John Manton in one oithe radio cars. Manton ordeicding to follow him but he refusedand according to the officer be-came abusive. He declared he wasan his way to see his "dying moth-er/'
In police court; King changedhis "tune" and related to JudgeBrown that some men, with guns.forced him to go through the tun-nel. He admitted that he receivedthe ticket that was found in hispocket and said he had permissionto take the car. However, a check-up through the teletype to NewYork revealed that Kaminiski hadreported the car stolen.
King was sentendec to 90 days inthe county workhouse for recklessdriving and 180 days for disorder-ly conduct. He was given a sus-pended sentence on haying no re-gistration in his possession, due tothe fact that New York authoritieswill most likely prosecute on astolen car charge.

WOODBRIDGE. — Daily t hetrained sea lions in. the Kay Bros.,Circus performances win vigorousand enthusiastic applause. Laugh-ter seizes the crowds in the standswhen these intelligent creaturesbrazenly clap their flippers in ap-proval of their own feats. The sealions are a hit and they know it.
Hardly a performance concludeswithout several groups of people.asking attaches of the show aboutthe habitat, capture and trainingof these sleek and agile perform-ers.
There is an immense cavern inthe rocky shore line of one of theCoronado Islands. Here, annually,the sea lions that are to serve asreplacements in the circuses andzoos the world over are capturedby means oi great nets stretchedacross the cavern's mouth at hightide.
Seeking shelter from the heavysurf, hundreds are trapped in thecavern. Men then fire rifles insidethe cave. The sea lions startled,rush madly for the open, swim-ming into the nets.
Kay Bros., sea lion experts arethere nearly every year and theymanage to obtain the pick of eachhuge haul.
No living being has the natureli sense of balance that is the her-tage of all sea lions.
